Treatments
Choose what brings you here. For each treatment the clinic lists the usual surgery time, stitch removal and recovery, so you can plan your stay in Seoul.
For Thin eyelids with little fat who want a natural double eyelid without an incision.
Skin and eye muscle are joined so the line looks like your own. Surgery takes about 20 minutes. Inline, outline and in-out lines are available.
Recovery Stitches are usually not needed, and recovery takes about 5 days.
For Eyelids that open weakly and cover the pupil, which makes the eyes look sleepy or tired.
Corrects ptosis so the pupil shows more clearly and you no longer use your forehead to open your eyes. About 30 to 40 minutes.
Recovery Stitches out after 5 to 7 days, recovery about 7 days.
For Inner corner covered by a fold, or those who want a more open eye.
Inner corner surgery removes the fold and the incision is placed inside the eye. About 20 to 30 minutes.
Recovery Stitches out after 5 to 7 days, recovery 5 to 7 days.
For Bags and dark hollows under the eyes.
If only fat bulges, it can be removed. If a tear trough is present, fat is moved into it. About 30 minutes.
Recovery No stitches to remove, recovery 2 to 3 days.
For Eyes that did not turn out as planned after an earlier surgery.
The reason for the earlier problem is identified first and a method that fits that cause is chosen. About 1 hour.
Recovery Stitches out after 5 to 7 days, recovery about 7 days.
For Those who want to raise the bridge or tip. Closed surgery suits a simple raise, open surgery suits structural changes.
Closed surgery uses an incision inside the nostril only, so no scar shows outside. Materials include silicone, your own cartilage and donor dermis, chosen for your nose and skin.
Recovery Splint off after 4 days, stitches out on day 7, recovery 5 to 7 days.
For A tip that lacks height, or a hump nose.
Uses your own tissue instead of an implant on the bridge. About 1 to 1.5 hours.
Recovery Splint off after 4 days, stitches out on day 7, recovery 5 to 7 days.
For A bump in the middle of the bridge and a tip that droops.

Recovery Splint off after 4 to 7 days, stitches out on day 7, recovery 5 to 7 days.
For A short nose with an upturned tip and visible nostrils.

Recovery Splint off after 4 days, stitches out on day 7, recovery 5 to 7 days.
For A wide bridge and a blunt, heavy tip.
A wide nasal bone can be narrowed by cutting the bone. The tip is refined and the nostril width reduced where needed.
Recovery Splint off after 4 to 7 days, stitches out on day 7, recovery 5 to 7 days.
For Wide or thick nostril wings, or large nostrils.

Recovery Stitches out on day 7, recovery 5 to 7 days.
For A nose that did not turn out as planned, or that has problems after an earlier surgery.
The cause of the earlier problem is identified so the same problem does not return. About 1 to 2.5 hours.
Recovery Splint off after 4 to 7 days, stitches out on day 7, recovery 7 to 10 days.
For Sagging upper lids that cover the view, or irritate the eye.
Treats the function and the look of the lid together. A version without an incision uses thread and takes about 20 minutes.

For Bags, lines and dark circles under the eyes.
Moves bulging fat into the hollow below it. About 1 hour.
Recovery Stitches out on day 7, recovery 7 to 10 days.

Recovery Stitches out after 5 to 7 days.
For A low brow with forehead lines and a heavy upper lid.
Lifts forehead, brow and eyelid in one surgery. Sleep anesthesia. About 30 to 40 minutes.

For Men who want a clearer, less tired look.
Eye shape correction can be an important part of the plan for men.
For Men who want a more defined nose that still looks natural.
Planned in the same way, with 3D-CT and a choice of materials to suit your nose.

How we work
For eyes, the doctor measures eyelid thickness, opening strength, eye length and symmetry. For the nose, 3D-CT shows the nasal bone, cartilage and soft tissue that cannot be seen from outside.
Silicone, Gore-Tex, your own ear or septal cartilage, donor dermis and rib cartilage are all options. The material depends on your nose and your skin, not on a fixed method.
An ENT unit is part of the clinic. After nose surgery the doctor checks the inside of your nose with an endoscope and manages runny nose, congestion, swelling and pain.
For international patients
Send front and side photos and a few lines about your concern by email. No sign-up.
The clinic replies with how it would approach your case. Details such as cost are confirmed with the clinic.
Meet the doctor in person. Most surgeries here list recovery of 5 to 7 days, and stitches come out on day 5 to 7, so plan about a week.
After nose surgery you visit the clinic several times in the first weeks. Ask about follow-up from abroad when you write.
Please ask the clinic whether an interpreter is available for your language.
