Ethnic Eyelid Surgery in Seoul | Grand Plastic Surgery & Cost

What is Ethnic Eyelid Surgery?

Ethnic eyelid surgery is a specialized procedure designed to enhance the natural beauty of the eyes while preserving individual ethnic characteristics. It focuses on creating a balanced, defined eyelid fold that complements the patient’s unique facial structure.

At Grand Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, we tailor each procedure to ensure natural-looking, personalized results for patients of various ethnic backgrounds, including Asian, Middle Eastern, and African descent.

Types of Ethnic Eyelid Surgery

1. Asian Double Eyelid Surgery

• Creates a natural double eyelid fold using incisional, non-incisional, or partial-incision techniques
• Enhances eye definition while maintaining a natural, youthful appearance
• Suitable for patients with monolids, uneven folds, or low creases

2. Ptosis Correction for Ethnic Eyes

• Corrects droopy eyelids that can obscure vision and create a tired look
• Strengthens the levator muscle for improved eye openness
• Ensures a natural, refreshed look without overcorrection

3. Epicanthoplasty & Lateral Canthoplasty

• Epicanthoplasty: Reduces the inner eye fold (epicanthal fold) for a brighter, more open-eye look
• Lateral Canthoplasty: Extends the outer corners of the eyes for a larger, elongated appearance
• Designed to create subtle, harmonious changes to eye proportions

4. Ethnic Eyelid Revision Surgery

• Corrects unsatisfactory results from previous eyelid surgery
• Repairs asymmetry, scarring, or unnatural-looking creases
• Customized approach to restore natural aesthetics
