Double Eyelid Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul

Gangnam is one of the stronger districts for double eyelid surgery. Double eyelid surgery in Korea costs roughly 1 to 4 million KRW (about 750 to 3,000 USD), with non-incisional suture methods at the low end and incisional methods with ptosis correction at the high end. It is the single most performed aesthetic surgery in the country, and stitches typically come out on day five to seven.

Why Gangnam

Gangnam-gu holds the largest cluster of plastic surgery clinics in Korea. Competition between clinics on the same block keeps prices visible and turnaround times short, and most mid-size clinics here keep at least one English-speaking coordinator on staff. Gangnam Station Exit 10 through Sinnonhyeon is the corridor to know: high-rise buildings where floors 2 through 12 are all clinics.

Questions to ask a Gangnam clinic

Three questions separate a clinic worth a deposit from one worth leaving. Ask whether the surgeon who consults is the surgeon who operates, and get the answer in writing. Ask for an itemised quote that splits the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, facility use and follow-up visits. Ask what the revision policy covers, what window it runs for, and what you would still pay. A clinic that answers all three concretely is doing the work; a clinic that answers with reassurance is selling.
