Upper Eyelid Surgery in AB Plastic Surgery
About the clinic
Upper eyelid surgery, or upper blepharoplasty, at AB Plastic Surgery in Seoul, South Korea, removes sagging skin and corrects droopy lids caused by aging. The procedure takes about 1 hour and is performed by board-certified surgeons in a KAHF-accredited facility. This clinic is recognized by the Ministry of Justice for its international patient care standards.
Advanced Eyelid Correction Techniques
The surgery addresses stretched skin that might obstruct vision or cause skin irritation. Surgeons use a precise incision hidden within the natural eyelid crease to minimize visible marks. The process involves removing excess skin and fat, followed by firm fascia fixation to restore the strength of the eyelid-lifting muscles. If needed, the doctor performs ptosis correction to adjust the levator muscle for a more refreshed look.
Expert Surgical Team
The clinic employs several board-certified plastic surgeons specializing in eye surgery and anti-aging treatments. Dr. Ahn Mun-Yeong, who authored the clinic's guide to upper eyelid surgery, leads the team alongside Dr. Park Seong-Hoon, an expert in revision eyelid procedures. Dr. Song Cheon-Ho and Dr. Choi Jae-Ik contribute their specialized knowledge in eye-area lifting and fat treatment to every procedure.
Safety and Anesthesia Standards
Safety is maintained through a high ratio of in-house anesthesiology specialists, making up over 45% of the medical staff. The facility uses a named-surgeon system to keep the same doctor through the entire process and provides 24-hour CCTV monitoring. Patients receive real-time anesthesia monitoring during the procedure, which typically uses topical or light sleep anesthesia.
Recovery and Patient Support
The recovery timeline is quick, with most patients returning to daily activities within 5 to 7 days. While swelling peaks in the first 3 days, it decreases enough by the end of the week for a smooth return to a normal routine. International patients visit the clinic 2 or 3 times for follow-ups and stitch removal. The clinic supports visitors with multilingual staff speaking 9 languages, airport transfers, and hotel assistance.
