Hyundai Aesthetics's Epicanthoplasty

Epicanthoplasty result model — larger, more open-looking eyes
01Barely visible scarring
02Larger, more open-looking eyes
03A softer image

Unlike conventional epicanthoplasty, this procedure is performed through an inner incision, so scars are barely visible externally. By making a minimal incision in the upper eyelid and releasing the Mongolian fold, it widens not only the horizontal width but also the vertical dimension, creating larger, more open-looking eyes with a high level of satisfaction. In addition, because there is less swelling and scarring after surgery, you can return to daily life right away, making it an effective eye-shape correction procedure that can transform a closed-off, sharp impression into a more open and softer look.

※ After surgery and treatment, generally possible complications such as bleeding, infection, and inflammation may occur depending on the individual, so caution is required.

When Epicanthoplasty Is Needed

CASE 01When the horizontal width of the eyes is narrow
CASE 02When Mongolian folds make the space between the eyes look wide
CASE 03When the inner corners point down sharply, making the impression look harsh
CASE 04When you want a more open eye shape by combining it with double-eyelid surgery
CHECK POINT ONE!

This procedure widens the vertical dimension of the eyes to make them appear larger, transforming a closed-off, heavy-looking eye shape into a more open, clear, and defined look. It increases pupil exposure and can create a softer image.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are treatment costs at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam communicated?

Treatment costs at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam vary depending on the area, extent, options, and anesthesia method. An accurate estimate is provided through a free one-on-one consultation. We prioritize a personalized quote tailored to each patient's diagnostic results, rather than comparison quotes or promotional prices.

How long does recovery take?

Generally, swelling and bruising subside within 1–2 weeks, and the natural final result settles in after 2–3 months. Non-incisional and minimal-incision methods have a shorter downtime, while incisional and revision surgery can take somewhat longer to recover. We provide the precise recovery schedule for each procedure during your consultation.

How can I get a consultation at Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam?

You can visit our main clinic on Dosan-daero in Gangnam for an in-person consultation, or have a remote consultation by phone, KakaoTalk, or online form. Through a free one-on-one consultation, we provide comprehensive guidance covering diagnosis, treatment options, an estimate, and the expected recovery schedule. In accordance with Article 56 of Korea's Medical Service Act, reviews and before-and-after materials are provided only on the basis of prior consent.

Can I see before-and-after photos in advance?

In accordance with the advertising provisions of Article 56 of Korea's Medical Service Act, before-and-after cases may be viewed for medical purposes only by patients who have given prior consent and attended an in-person consultation. Publicly available materials are limited to de-identified cases for which consent has been completed. Detailed cases are explained directly by our medical staff during your consultation.

How are post-surgery side effects and aftercare handled?

Every surgery carries some possibility of side effects. Hyundai Aesthetic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam monitors recovery-phase symptoms such as swelling, bruising, tightness, and a foreign-body sensation through a post-surgery regular check-up and care system (the Mihak Care System). We operate a 24-hour emergency contact line and an aftercare program.

Which is better for double eyelid surgery in Gangnam — non-incisional or incisional?

It depends on your eyelid thickness, skin laxity, and amount of fat. If the skin is thin with little fat, a non-incisional method (buried suture or natural-adhesion) is preferred; if there is skin sagging or excess fat, an incisional or partial-incision method is recommended. Our Gangnam clinic's Ten-Minute Natural-Adhesion double eyelid is a non-incisional-based option with fast recovery.

Can ptosis be corrected at the same time?

Ptosis correction (eye-shape correction) can be performed together with double eyelid surgery. When a drooping upper eyelid covers the pupil, eye-shape correction can create a brighter, more defined impression. We explain simultaneous options such as our Gangnam Big Eye canthoplasty during your consultation.

Is revision eye surgery also possible?

Issues such as asymmetry, multiple lines, or faded lines after a previous double eyelid surgery or epicanthoplasty can be corrected with revision surgery. At our Gangnam Hyundai Aesthetic clinic, revision eye surgery begins by assessing your existing scarring and adhesion, then recommends the most suitable approach among non-incisional, incisional, or combined correction.
