Upper Blepharoplasty in Apgujeong, Seoul
Apgujeong is one of the stronger districts for upper blepharoplasty. Upper blepharoplasty in Korea costs roughly 1.5 to 4 million KRW (about 1,100 to 3,000 USD). It removes excess upper eyelid skin that has begun to hood over the lash line, and it differs from cosmetic double eyelid surgery in intent: the goal is opening a heavy eye rather than creating a crease. Stitches come out on day five to seven.

Expect consultation fees, longer lead times, and pricing 20 to 40 percent above the Gangnam Station average for the same procedure.

Questions to ask a Apgujeong 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.
