2026 Update · A Complete Guide to Eyelid Surgery Cost in Korea
If you're searching for double eyelid surgery cost in Korea,
blepharoplasty price in Korea,
or eyelid surgery cost in Korea,
you're probably asking one simple question:
How much would my eye surgery actually cost?
Double eyelid surgery in Korea is commonly compared at
1,000,000–2,500,000 KRW (about $667–$1,667), although the final quote can change with the surgical method,
ptosis correction, canthoplasty or a combined plan. This guide explains those price differences
and introduces current options, including MARBLE Plastic Surgery’s limited
800,000 KRW (about $533) deal, so patients can compare the typical range
with a lower-priced current option in one place.
PRICE UPDATE · AUGUST 26, 2026
The typical Korean comparison range remains 1,000,000–2,500,000 KRW (about $667–$1,667). We now also track MARBLE Plastic Surgery’s limited options—800,000 KRW (about $533) for non-incisional surgery and 1,200,000 KRW (about $800) for incisional surgery—so the general price guide and a lower-priced current choice can be compared together.
Quick Answer
The most commonly compared range for basic double eyelid surgery in this guide is
1,000,000 – 2,500,000 KRW
$667 – $1,667 at 1 USD = 1,500 KRW
Non-incisional cases usually stay lower.
Incisional surgery, ptosis correction, canthoplasty, lifting, or combination plans can move higher.
MARBLE’s limited double eyelid deal: 800K KRW ($533)
What changed · August 26, 2026
Previous version: general Korean eyelid surgery price ranges only.
Current: The general 1,000,000–2,500,000 KRW range remains, and a limited MARBLE deal has been added as a clearly dated current option. Offer conditions and availability can change, so this section will be updated without erasing its earlier context.
MARBLE Plastic Surgery currently has two limited double eyelid deal options: non-incisional surgery at 800,000 KRW (about $533) and incisional surgery at 1,200,000 KRW (about $800). The 800,000 KRW option sits at the lowest end of the current Korea price ranges in this guide, making it a limited deal worth checking when the non-incisional method fits.
See the current price, review schedule and remaining availability:
Why this deal is worth a closer look: Non-incisional double eyelid surgery is 800,000 KRW (about $533), while the incisional option is 1,200,000 KRW (about $800). Both listed prices exclude VAT. The deal requires six photo reviews, accepts eye-area-only photos, is limited to five participants and runs through October 31, 2026.

Why do prices look so different?
same name, different structure
The price changes because the same search term can still mean very different structures: non-incisional vs incisional, ptosis correction included or not, canthoplasty included or not, or lifting and volume procedures instead of a fold-focused plan.

Olivia’s note
The single biggest reason people get confused about eyelid pricing is that they start by searching one procedure name,
but their final quote often follows a combined structure instead.

How to understand double eyelid surgery more easily
natural vs defined fold comparison
Non-incisional double eyelid surgery
Generally explained as creating the fold with sutures without cutting the skin. It is often discussed for thinner eyelids and patients who want a lighter, more subtle change.
1,000,000 – 1,500,000 KRW
$667 – $1,000
This review is useful for readers who want a lighter first-time eyelid change. The patient described the result as subtle, refreshed, and scar-free at the 6-month update.
Julie said
“No scars whatsoever... my eyes look more open and refreshed.”

WOOA Plastic Surgery
Incisional double eyelid surgery
Generally explained as creating the fold while also adjusting tissue where needed. It is more often discussed when the eyelids are thicker or stronger definition is wanted.
1,500,000 – 2,500,000 KRW
$1,000 – $1,667
This recovery case shows how eyelid surgery can be combined with other eye-shape procedures, and why the final price often depends on the whole plan, not only the fold method.
Marble Plastic Surgery said
“By 3 weeks post-op, her eyes looked brighter and awake, with swelling already much lower.”

MARBLE Plastic Surgery
Price reminder:
Non-incisional double eyelid surgery usually stays around 1,000,000 – 1,500,000 KRW ($667 – $1,000)
Incisional double eyelid surgery usually stays around 1,500,000 – 2,500,000 KRW ($1,000 – $1,667)
Why ptosis correction changes the price
eye-opening function change
Generally explained as an eye-opening function procedure, ptosis correction is often what changes the quote the most when patients first start with only a crease-focused search.
This case shows how ptosis correction can be part of a broader eye-balancing plan, rather than a small add-on to a crease-only surgery.
Mei said
“My features feel more balanced... recovery was almost painless except for tightness.”

ATOP Plastic Surgery
This case explains why ptosis correction is often discussed together with canthoplasty and incisional DES when the goal is a broader eye-shape change.
Jen. Y said
“Epicanthoplasty, ptosis correction, lateral canthoplasty, and incisional double eyelid surgery were planned together.”
Procedure reviewed at
WOOA Plastic Surgery
Ptosis correction add-on range:
+700,000 – 1,000,000 KRW (+$467 – $667)
Common combined price:
2,000,000 – 4,000,000 KRW ($1,333 – $2,667)
When canthoplasty enters the plan
inner / lateral / dual canthoplasty
Canthoplasty is usually discussed when the issue is not only the fold, but also the tightness, blocked inner corner, or short-looking horizontal width of the eye.
This review is useful for readers searching specifically for canthoplasty downtime, because it explains discomfort, chemosis, and early recovery timing.
Tanya said
“The first week was more uncomfortable rather than painful, and the chemosis was basically gone around day 7–8.”

Inner canthoplasty
800,000 – 1,500,000 KRW
$533 – $1,000
Lateral canthoplasty

$533 – $1,000
Dual canthoplasty usually falls around
1,500,000 – 2,500,000 KRW ($1,000 – $1,667)
When upper blepharoplasty, brow lifting, or volume correction fits better
sagging vs lifting vs hollow upper eyelid
Not all eyelid surgery in Korea is really about making a fold. In many 30s–50s cases, the key issue is sagging skin, heaviness, or a tired-looking upper eye area.
This review is a good example of a patient choosing brow-area lifting logic instead of going straight to full upper blepharoplasty.

Revision eyelid surgery follows a different price logic because the doctor is correcting a previous fold, asymmetry, or structure rather than starting from a clean first-time case.
Angie said
“Revision cases are not only about making a new line. The existing line, scar tissue, and symmetry all need to be checked again.”

FAQ
How much does double eyelid surgery cost in Korea?
Double eyelid surgery in Korea is most commonly compared in the range of 1,000,000 to 2,500,000 KRW. Non-incisional methods usually stay at the lower end, while incisional surgery with thicker lids, tissue adjustment, or stronger fold definition tends to move higher. If ptosis correction is added, the total commonly rises into the 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 KRW range.
What is the difference between double eyelid surgery and blepharoplasty?
Double eyelid surgery is one specific kind of eyelid surgery focused on creating a visible fold. Blepharoplasty is a broader category that can include double eyelid surgery, ptosis correction, upper blepharoplasty, brow lifting, and structural eyelid adjustments. In Korea, many patients start with the crease keyword, but the final plan often fits a wider blepharoplasty logic.
Why does eyelid surgery cost vary so much in Korea?
The price varies because the same search term can still cover very different procedure structures. One quote may refer to a simple non-incisional fold only. Another may include tissue adjustment, ptosis correction, canthoplasty, lifting, or volume correction. That is why two patients who search the same keyword can still receive very different prices.
Is ptosis correction necessary with double eyelid surgery?
Ptosis correction is not necessary for everyone, but it is commonly discussed when the eyes look sleepy, less open, or smaller because the eye-opening function is weak. In these cases, ptosis correction can improve how awake and defined the eyes look beyond what double eyelid surgery alone can do. It often adds around 700,000 to 1,000,000 KRW to the total quote.
What is the most common eyelid surgery combination in Korea?
One of the most common combinations is double eyelid surgery together with ptosis correction. Many patients begin by focusing only on the fold, but consultation often reveals that eye-opening strength matters more than expected. Depending on the final plan, this combined structure commonly falls in the 2,000,000 to 4,000,000 KRW range, and it can move higher if canthoplasty or other shape procedures are added.
How long does recovery take after double eyelid surgery?
Initial swelling usually improves within 1 to 2 weeks, which is when many patients return to daily activity. However, the final line, softness, and natural-looking result can continue to settle for several months. Non-incisional surgery usually recovers faster than incisional surgery, and combined cases such as ptosis correction may take longer to fully refine.

What extra fees should I check before comparing clinics?
You should check whether the quoted price includes anesthesia, VAT, testing, medication, and post-surgery care. In some cases, the quote can also change after in-person evaluation, especially if ptosis correction, canthoplasty, or other structural adjustments are added after direct examination.
Is eyelid surgery in Korea cheaper than in the US?
In general, eyelid surgery in Korea is more affordable than comparable private cosmetic procedures in the US, especially for commonly standardized procedures such as double eyelid surgery. However, direct comparison is not always exact because the included structure, bundled care, and procedural scope can differ.
What is the difference between non-incisional and incisional double eyelid surgery?
Non-incisional double eyelid surgery is generally explained as creating the fold with sutures without cutting the skin, while incisional double eyelid surgery is generally explained as creating the fold while also adjusting tissue or fat where needed. Non-incisional methods are often discussed for thinner eyelids and lighter changes, while incisional methods are more often discussed for thicker eyelids or stronger fold definition.
When is upper blepharoplasty or brow lifting discussed instead of double eyelid surgery?
Upper blepharoplasty or brow lifting is often discussed when the main issue is sagging upper eyelid skin, heaviness, or a tired appearance rather than lack of a fold. This becomes more common in patients in their 30s to 50s, especially when the concern is aging or heaviness rather than crease creation.
Final thought
Korean eyelid surgery prices are not one fixed number.
Different methods, functional needs, shape adjustments, and age-related changes follow different pricing logic.
This guide is meant to help you understand what each procedure means, why the quote changes, and what kind of eyelid surgery may actually fit your case.
