Treatment Overview
Orbital Rim Implant Surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the bony contours around the eyes, providing better facial balance, improved eye definition, and a youthful appearance. By placing biocompatible implants along the orbital rim, surgeons can correct flat, recessed, or asymmetric eye areas.
In Korea, advanced techniques and 3D imaging are used to customize the implant to each patient’s facial anatomy, ensuring natural, symmetrical results that harmonize with the eyes, cheeks, and midface.
