9 Best Double Eyelid Surgery Clinics in Gangnam, Seoul (2026)

Girin Plastic Surgery has been operating from floors 7 and 8 of Seocho W Tower since 2012, two minutes from Sinnonhyeon Station and five from Gangnam Station. Twenty-nine physicians practise there - 11 in plastic surgery, 15 in dermatology and 3 in anaesthesiology - and eye surgery heads a surgical menu that also runs through nose, facial contouring, orthognathic surgery, facelifting, breast surgery, liposuction and fat grafting. For eyelid work, that combination matters less as a badge than as scheduling reality: a department with 11 surgeons can hold consultation slots inside a short visitor stay rather than months out.

The public record supports the placement as well. Girin's Google listing holds a 4.9-star average across 2,891 reviews, about 1,200 more reviews than any other clinic in this ranking. A star figure on a handful of reviews can move overnight; the same figure across thousands describes a pattern sustained over many patients and a long stretch of time. It still tells you nothing about which technique fits your eyelid - that is what the consultation is for.

Two practical details shape a visitor's trip here. The clinic runs an in-house testing centre covering blood work, chest X-ray, ECG and 3D CT, so pre-operative checks do not send you to a second address, and it publishes consultation and interpretation in nine languages and opens seven days a week, which makes weekend follow-up checks possible. Girin Plastic Surgery is a Book Korea Medical partner, so the consultation is free, carries no obligation, and adds no markup to the clinic's own price - you can arrange it through Book Korea Medical in a few minutes.

Three more partner clinics carry eyelid surgery on their own published menus. ONE CELL CLINIC on Seolleung-ro in Cheongdam runs four centres across nine floors with nine physicians, and its plastic surgery centre covers surgery of the eyelids, nose and facial contour, with consultation available in English, Chinese, Japanese and Arabic. OPERA PLASTIC SURGERY, one minute from Nonhyeon Station, lists eyelid and revision eye surgery among its surgical work and keeps an anaesthesiology specialist on site alongside its four plastic surgery specialists. JN Plastic Surgery near Gangnam Station is a two-surgeon practice whose surgical care opens with eyelid surgery and eye revision and uses 3D-CT imaging in planning. Revision is worth naming separately: a second eyelid operation is a different problem from a first one, and clinics that state it explicitly are easier to plan around.

The remaining five clinics book directly and were placed on their public Google figures. Sketch Plastic Surgery Korea on Gangnam-daero carries a 5.0-star average across 544 reviews. View Plastic Surgery on Bongeunsa-ro holds 4.9 stars across 897, and Eye&Lifting Plastic Surgery Clinic on Nonhyeon-ro rates 4.9 across 464. DA Plastic Surgery on Teheran-ro holds 4.8 stars across 1,663 reviews, and Wonderful Plastic Surgery Clinic on Gangnam-daero rates 4.8 across 1,116.

Knowing the vocabulary makes any of those consultations more useful. Non-incisional methods - often called suture or buried techniques - form the fold with fine internal stitches through small openings, and clinics generally frame them as the lighter option in terms of initial swelling. Incisional methods create the fold through an incision along the planned crease line, which also lets the surgeon adjust skin or fat where the anatomy calls for it. Neither is universally better: eyelid thickness, skin laxity, previous surgery, and the fold shape you are asking for all push the choice one way or the other.

Then plan the trip around recovery rather than the procedure day. Visible swelling is part of the first weeks with either technique, incisional approaches typically involve stitch removal within about the first week, and a clinic will want to see the eyes settling before you fly. That points to an itinerary measured in one to two weeks at minimum for most visitors, with the exact schedule set by the clinic. Technique, anaesthesia, and total stay all come out of an in-person assessment during your free consultation, which you can arrange through Book Korea Medical.
