Double eyelid surgery, also known as Asian blepharoplasty, is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in South Korea — and for good reason. It creates a defined upper eyelid crease, making the eyes appear larger, brighter, and more alert, while maintaining a natural look that complements your facial features.
At The Plus Plastic Surgery in Seoul, double eyelid surgery is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. The clinic is known for its customized approach, emphasizing eye harmony, facial proportion, and minimal scarring. Whether you’re an international patient traveling to Korea or a local resident seeking refinement, The Plus offers world-class surgical precision in a warm, professional environment.
What Is Double Eyelid Surgery?
Double eyelid surgery involves creating a natural-looking crease in the upper eyelid to form a “double eyelid fold.” This crease is either absent or less defined in many East Asian individuals. The procedure can be performed using several methods depending on your anatomy and desired outcome:
✦ Non-Incisional Method (Suture Technique)
- Ideal for younger patients with minimal excess skin
- Uses fine sutures to create a crease without cutting the skin
- Minimal swelling and fast recovery
- Reversible or adjustable
✦ Partial Incisional Method
- A hybrid technique combining sutures and small incisions
- Suitable for those with mild skin or fat excess
- Offers longer-lasting results than the non-incisional method
✦ Full Incisional Method
- Recommended for patients with excess skin, fat, or sagging eyelids
- Involves removing skin and fat, then creating a crease through incisions
- Permanent, stable, and ideal for revision cases
The Plus Plastic Surgery tailors each method to your eyelid structure, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals.

Combining Procedures for Eye Harmony
For enhanced results, The Plus often recommends pairing double eyelid surgery with:
- Epicanthoplasty – To open up the inner corners of the eyes
- Lateral Canthoplasty – To elongate the eye shape outward
- Ptosis Correction – To lift droopy eyelids and enhance eye openness
- Fat Repositioning or Removal – For puffiness or under-eye hollowness
These combinations can create a more refined, youthful eye shape without overcorrecting or changing your natural ethnic features.
