Eye surgery

Double eyelid surgery

Dream designs the fold from the orbital proportion, eyelid thickness and levator strength, then selects the buried-suture, partial-incision or full-incision technique that fits the individual eye.

Who it suits

  • No fold or a hidden fold
  • Asymmetric folds
  • A fold that has loosened after earlier surgery

Technique highlights

  • Technique chosen by eyelid thickness, not a one-size formula
  • Can be combined with ptosis correction in one session
  • Operated by board-certified plastic surgeons

Surgical steps

  • Eye measurement, levator function test and fold-height design
  • Local anaesthesia with short-acting sedation
  • The fold is created and closed with fine sutures, about 30-60 minutes

Recovery & aftercare

  • No hospital stay; discharge on the same day
  • Suture removal and review at around day 5-7
  • Recommended stay in Korea of 5-7 days
  • Swelling settles noticeably within 2-3 weeks

Risks & things to consider

  • Results depend on the individual's anatomy, skin condition and after-care
  • Always disclose medical conditions, medication and allergies before treatment
  • Every procedure carries risks and possible complications; consult a specialist before deciding

Frequently asked questions

How do the suture and incision methods differ?

The suture method swells less and heals faster on thin lids; the incision method removes excess fat and skin for a more durable fold.

How many days should I stay in Korea?

Usually 5-7 days, enough for suture removal and a follow-up check before flying.
