Sinsa & Garosu-gil is not the largest cluster for upper blepharoplasty, but the listings below cover it. 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.
Sinsa sits between the Gangnam Station volume market and the Apgujeong premium market, and it holds an unusual concentration of clinics that do one thing only: liposuction-focused practices, single-surgeon eyelid clinics, lifting-only clinics. Garosu-gil itself is the centre, with several practices occupying whole buildings a short walk from Sinsa Station Exit 8.
The ranges below are the Seoul-wide figures we publish for upper blepharoplasty. Gangnam corridor pricing tracks these figures closely. Quoted prices in Korea normally include anesthesia and facility use, which are billed separately in many other markets, so compare the all-in figure rather than the surgeon's fee alone.
| Procedure | Typical range (KRW) | USD estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Skin excision only | 1.5M - 2.5M | $1,100 - $1,900 |
| With ptosis correction | 2.5M - 4.0M | $1,900 - $3,000 |
| With brow lift | 4.5M - 8.0M | $3,400 - $6,000 |
| Revision upper blepharoplasty | 3.0M - 6.0M | $2,200 - $4,500 |

Recovery for upper blepharoplasty runs to about 7 to 10 days before desk work, so choose accommodation you can reach without a long transfer, and book the follow-up appointment before you leave the clinic rather than trying to arrange it later.

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.
