WOOA Plastic Surgery βΊ Frequently asked questions
Where can I get eyelid revision surgery in Seoul, Korea?
WOOA Plastic Surgery: HM Tower, 492 Gangnam-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. About 2 minutes on foot from Exit 3 of Sinnonhyeon Station (Line 9), about 6 minutes from Exit 3 of Nonhyeon Station (Sinbundang Line). Plastic surgery on floors 3β6 (dermatology on 10 and 12). Mechanical parking in the building (large sedans, electric vehicles and SUVs cannot be parked). This surgery addresses upper eyelids that have drooped with age. WOOA's middle-aged eye surgery page explains that drooping eyes are caused not only by loss of skin elasticity but also by sagging of the orbicularis oculi, the muscle that circles the eye, and describes an upper blepharoplasty that removes excess skin and fat through an incision along the double-eyelid line while also correcting the position of the orbicularis oculi.

Frequently asked questions
Is upper blepharoplasty alone enough, or do I need another procedure?
The clinic describes eyes where the whole eyelid droops, or where eyelashes touch the eye and cause functional problems, as suited to upper blepharoplasty. Eyes with heavy brow sagging and a short eye-to-brow distance, or ptosis with weak eye opening, may not be fully addressed by upper blepharoplasty alone; for these, combining it with a forehead lift or brow lift is suggested. The appropriate approach is decided after examination.
What are the operation time, anesthesia and stitch removal?
According to the clinic's Surgery Information table, the operation takes about 1 hour under brief sedation anesthesia, no hospital stay is needed, stitches are removed 7 days post-surgery and the recovery period is listed as 7 days. Recovery speed varies between individuals.
Where is the scar?
The incision is made along the double-eyelid line and closed along the same line, so the incision line lies in the double-eyelid crease. How the scar matures and how long it takes depend on skin condition and healing.
How much does it cost?
The clinic's non-covered fee schedule (as of 2026-06-15) has no separate line for middle-aged eye surgery; the eye surgery item is listed at KRW 350,000β4,000,000 (VAT not included). The actual cost depends on the surgical method and any combined procedures, so please confirm during consultation.
