Nuance Plastic Surgery Clinic
Plastic surgery clinic in Yongsan-gu with no plastic surgery board certification recorded on the HIRA register, 8 minutes from Ichon Station.
Double Eyelid Surgery in Itaewon & Hannam. Double eyelid surgery creates a crease in the upper eyelid, using either an incisional method that removes tissue permanently or a non-incisional buried-suture method that can be reversed.
Itaewon and Hannam-dong have the largest resident foreign population in Seoul, and the clinics here are built around English-language primary care, vaccination and prescription continuity rather than medical travel.

About this procedure
The choice between incisional and non-incisional is decided by skin thickness and the amount of excess fat, not by preference. Thin lids with little fat suit the buried-suture method, which takes about 30 minutes and settles within two weeks. Thicker lids, drooping skin or a previous failed procedure usually require the incisional method, which takes about an hour and shows visible swelling for three to four weeks.
