Natural-adhesion double eyelid
A suture-based approach to forming an upper-eyelid crease through small openings. The consultation assesses eyelid thickness, excess skin and the strength of eye opening before deciding whether this approach fits your anatomy.

How the approach works.
The surgeon plans the crease and uses internal fixation to encourage adhesion between the tissues. It is different from removing excess skin through a longer incision. A crease can loosen, and the method is not suitable for every eyelid.

Planning the crease
The crease position is planned after assessing the eyelid.
Internal fixation
Internal fixation is used to encourage adhesion between tissues.
Suture fixation
Sutures support the planned crease. A crease can still loosen, and suitability varies.

Recovery, risks & limits.
Some reactions can be temporary; complications can also require treatment. This is not an exhaustive list.
Swelling, bruising, discomfort and scarring can occur.
Dryness, difficulty closing the eyes, asymmetry or a need for revision should be discussed.
Bleeding, infection and rare serious changes in vision require specific discussion with the surgeon.
Your timeline is individual.
Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.
Recovery and results vary. Your clinician should explain the procedure-specific risks and aftercare before you decide.
If you develop severe or worsening symptoms after treatment, seek medical attention rather than waiting for an online reply.
Dr. JinHo Han
Representative surgeon · Plastic surgery specialist
A personal consultation with a plastic surgery specialist. Discuss your facial features, skin condition and treatment preferences before deciding on a plan.
Your questions, answered.
Is a non-incisional approach always possible?
No. The official clinic information distinguishes thin eyelids from cases that need skin or fat removal or correction of weak eye opening. The examination determines the approach.
How long should I stay in Korea?
Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.
Can I choose the procedure before an examination?
You can explore your options first. The final plan requires an examination, a discussion of alternatives and informed consent. Choosing no treatment is also an option.
How is the cost decided?
The clinic confirms the proposed method, treatment area and product or equipment before giving an individual quote. Ask what is included in follow-up care.
What should I disclose before treatment?
Tell the clinician about previous procedures, implants, medication, allergies and health conditions. Bring available details of earlier injections or surgery.
