Procedure Steps

1
Consultation · Design
We diagnose the condition of the eyes and design the incision method and line height.
2
Anesthesia
Local anesthesia is used as the standard, and sedation is combined depending on the hospital.
3
surgery
Correction is performed along the designed line using the buried or incision method.
4
Recovery and Suture Removal
The stitches are removed and the progress is checked on days 5 to 7 after the incision.

Pros

The burden of surgery is relatively small compared to the change in facial appearance.
There are various methods available, so you can choose the one that suits your eye condition.
The buried suture method offers fast recovery and minimal scarring.

Things to Consider

It takes several weeks to several months for the swelling to subside and the lines to settle.
The suture line can come undone with the buried suture method.
The incisional method carries a relatively large burden of scarring and recovery.

Side Effects & Precautions

Please avoid drinking alcohol, smoking, and saunas for 1 to 2 weeks after surgery.
Please follow the hospital's instructions regarding wearing contact lenses and eye makeup while experiencing swelling.
Follow-up observation is necessary due to the possibility of revision surgery, such as asymmetry or the line coming undone.

This is general guidance; details vary by individual and clinic. Always consult a medical specialist.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does partial incision cost in Korea?

partial incision in Korea typically costs around 990,000~990,000 KRW, though the exact price varies by clinic, your case, and what's included. Seoul prices reflect surgeon experience, technique, and aftercare — always confirm whether anesthesia, follow-ups, and post-op care are bundled in your quote. Because every body and goal is different, your final cost can only be confirmed at an in-person or video consultation with a board-certified doctor.

Is partial incision painful, and what kind of anesthesia is used?

partial incision is generally well-tolerated, with anesthesia chosen to keep you comfortable throughout. Depending on the procedure, Korean clinics use local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, and most discomfort afterward is managed with prescribed medication. Pain tolerance is personal, so discuss anesthesia options and pain management with a board-certified anesthesiologist or surgeon before your treatment.

How do I choose the right clinic for partial incision in Korea?

Choose a clinic with board-certified specialists, transparent pricing, and strong patient reviews. On K-Dia, 1 clinics offer partial incision, so you can compare doctor credentials, before-and-after results, and English-language support side by side. Verify the surgeon's specialty board certification, ask about complication rates and revision policies, and book a consultation before committing — this is a medical decision, not just a price comparison.
