Asymmetrical Eye Correction in Seoul | Gangnam CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is Asymmetrical Eye Correction Surgery?

Asymmetrical eye correction surgery is a cosmetic procedure that addresses visible differences in the size, shape, or position of the eyes. Eye asymmetry can be caused by natural bone structure, muscle imbalance, eyelid ptosis, or previous surgeries. Correction techniques vary depending on the cause and may include double eyelid surgery, ptosis repair, epicanthoplasty, or canthoplasty to achieve a more balanced and harmonious eye appearance.

At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, our board-certified surgeons perform detailed eye analysis and use advanced surgical methods to correct asymmetry with precision. Each procedure is tailored to your unique anatomy to enhance symmetry while maintaining your natural eye shape and expression.

Who is a Good Candidate for Asymmetrical Eye Correction Surgery?

You may be a good candidate for asymmetrical eye correction if you:

✔ Notice one eye appears smaller, lower, or differently shaped than the other
✔ Feel your eye asymmetry affects your overall facial balance
✔ Have congenital asymmetry or changes due to aging or trauma
✔ Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations
✔ Wish to improve both aesthetic appearance and eyelid function if needed

At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic, your consultation includes high-resolution imaging and eyelid function testing to determine the ideal surgical plan. Whether you require minor adjustment or a combination of procedures, our goal is to achieve naturally symmetrical results that enhance your confidence and facial harmony.

How is Asymmetrical Eyes Correction Performed?

1. Consultation & Evaluation

• In-depth eye examination to identify the cause of asymmetry—ptosis (drooping eyelid), uneven eyelid crease, orbital bone difference, or muscle imbalance
• Digital imaging and front-facing analysis to compare eyelid height, eye shape, and brow position
• Discussion of goals—whether focusing on symmetry, crease alignment, or overall eye enlargement
• Evaluation for surgical or non-surgical correction based on the degree of asymmetry

2. Treatment Approach

• The surgical plan is tailored based on the cause and degree of asymmetry:

– Double Eyelid Revision or Creation: Creates or adjusts the eyelid crease to match the opposite eye for improved symmetry
– Ptosis Correction: Tightens the levator muscle to lift a drooping eyelid, balancing the eye height
– Epicanthoplasty or Lateral Canthoplasty: Modifies the inner or outer corners of the eyes for better alignment and balance
– Fat Grafting or Filler Injections: Used for mild asymmetry due to volume differences in the upper or lower eyelids
• Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia with sedation and take 1–2 hours

3. Recovery & Aftercare

• Temporary swelling, bruising, and tightness are normal for the first week
• Ice compresses and prescribed eye ointments support healing and minimize inflammation
• Stitches are removed 5–7 days post-op, depending on incision type
• Avoid contact lenses, makeup, or excessive screen time during early recovery
• Follow-up visits help monitor crease formation and ensure symmetrical healing

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery Timeline:

• Swelling & Bruising: Peaks around day 2–4, improves within 1–2 weeks
• Suture Removal: After 5–7 days
• Return to Work/Daily Life: Around 7–10 days
• Final Symmetry Outcome: Visible within 1–2 months as swelling resolves and tissue settles

Adhering to post-surgical care—especially protecting the eyes, maintaining hygiene, and sleeping on your back—is critical for even and long-lasting results.
