How Much Does Double Eyelid Surgery Cost in Korea?

Double eyelid surgery, known as blepharoplasty or ssangkkeopul in Korean, is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in Korea and Asia. It creates a crease in the upper eyelid to make the eyes appear larger and more defined.

There are two main techniques: the incisional method and the non-incisional (suture) method. The non-incisional method is less invasive with faster recovery but may not be permanent. The incisional method provides longer-lasting results and is recommended for those with excess skin or fat in the eyelid area.

In Korea, double eyelid surgery costs between $800 and $3,000 USD depending on the clinic and technique. This is significantly more affordable than the same procedure in the United States ($3,000–$6,000) or Australia ($2,500–$5,000).

Top clinics in Gangnam performing double eyelid surgery include Banobagi, ID Hospital, and JW Plastic Surgery. All three have extensive experience with international patients and offer natural-looking results tailored to each patient's facial features.

Recovery from double eyelid surgery typically takes 1–2 weeks. Swelling and bruising are normal in the first week. Most patients return to normal activities within 7–10 days, with final results visible after 1–3 months.
