Revision Double Eyelid Surgery Cost in Korea

 Revision Double Eyelid Surgery Cost in Korea

If you’ve had double eyelid surgery before and need revision (due to asymmetry, crease loss, high/uneven folds, or other issues), costs in Korea are generally higher than primary double eyelid surgery because revision cases are more complex and require careful planning.

💸 Typical Cost Range (2025 Estimates)

Revision double eyelid / revision blepharoplasty in Korea can vary widely based on complexity, method, and surgeon reputation:

• Lower-end / basic revision: ~₩900,000 – ₩1,800,000 KRW (~$700 – $1,400 USD)
• Mid-range revision cases: ~₩1,800,000 – ₩3,000,000 KRW (~$1,400 – $2,300 USD)
• Complex revision or premium clinic: ~₩3,000,000 – ₩7,500,000+ KRW (~$2,300 – $5,500+ USD)

Notes from local clinic listings:

• Some clinics advertise simple revision surgery from about $530–$1,100 USD on the low end.
• Other Seoul clinics list revision eyelid surgery around $1,500–$2,400 USD depending on technique and surgeon.
• More complex or premium revision cases can cost closer to $3,000–$5,500 USD or higher.

🧠 Why Revision Costs More Than Primary Surgery

Revision double eyelid surgery is technically more challenging because:

• Scar tissue from prior surgery complicates the anatomy
• Crease design must be redone carefully to avoid buried scars or irregular folds
• More precision is needed to correct asymmetry
• Sometimes underlying issues like ptosis or fat displacement must be addressed

This complexity typically results in higher surgeon fees and longer surgical time than a primary procedure.

🪪 What’s Typically Included in the Cost

Most revision pricing in Korea includes:
✔ Surgeon’s fee
✔ Facility/operating room charges
✔ Anesthesia
✔ Follow-up visits and suture removal

Extras that may increase total cost:
✘ Advanced scar release techniques
✘ Ptosis correction combined with revision
✘ Fat repositioning
✘ Foreign patient support services (interpreters, travel logistics)

💡 Price Influencers

Revision double eyelid surgery cost in Korea can vary based on:

• Complexity of the case: more severe asymmetry or prior over-correction → higher cost
• Surgical method: incisional revision is usually pricier than suture-adjustment revision
• Surgeon experience & clinic reputation
