International Patients in Korea | Specialized Eye Surgery by Dr. Ahn Sung Min
Ahn Sung Min Plastic Surgery Clinic provides specialized eyelid and eye-shape surgery for international patients visiting Korea. From preliminary online consultation to surgery, follow-up care, and recovery guidance, every stage is carefully coordinated around the patient’s anatomy, goals, and travel schedule.
Dr. Ahn Sung Min focuses on creating natural, balanced results while maintaining proper eyelid function and harmony with the overall face.
Specialized Eye Surgery for International Patients
International patients can receive personalized treatment for:
- Asian double eyelid surgery
- Non-incisional double eyelid surgery
- Incisional double eyelid surgery
- Ptosis correction
- Upper blepharoplasty
- Lower blepharoplasty
- Under-eye fat repositioning
- Eye bag removal
- Epicanthoplasty
- Canthoplasty
- Canthopexy
- Brow lift
- Revision eye surgery
The most suitable procedure is determined after evaluating the eyelid structure, skin thickness, muscle function, existing crease, eye shape, and previous surgical history.
Online Consultation Before Visiting Korea
International patients may begin with an online consultation before arranging their trip.
The preliminary consultation may include:
- Review of front and side-view photographs
- Discussion of aesthetic concerns
- Initial procedure recommendations
- Estimated surgery cost
- Suggested length of stay
- Available consultation and surgery dates
- General recovery guidance
The final surgical plan is confirmed only after an in-person examination in Korea.
Personalized Consultation with Dr. Ahn Sung Min
During the face-to-face consultation, Dr. Ahn Sung Min carefully evaluates:
- Eyelid anatomy
- Eyelid muscle function
- Skin and fat distribution
- Eyebrow position
- Eye symmetry
- Existing scars
- Previous surgery results
- Desired crease height and shape
- Overall facial balance
This detailed assessment allows the surgical plan to be customized rather than based on a standard eye shape.
Natural-Looking Eye Surgery in Korea
The goal of surgery is not simply to make the eyes appear larger. Dr. Ahn Sung Min considers how the eyelid crease, eye opening, inner and outer corners, eyebrows, and under-eye area work together.
Personalized surgery may help create:
- A natural eyelid crease
- Improved eye symmetry
- A clearer and less tired appearance
- Better eyelid function
- Balanced eye proportions
- Results that suit the patient’s facial features
- A refreshed appearance without an overdone look
Treatment Process for Overseas Patients
A typical treatment process may include:
Before Arrival
Online consultation, preliminary recommendations, estimated pricing, and schedule coordination.
In-Person Consultation
Detailed examination, surgical planning, discussion of expected results, and confirmation of the procedure.
Surgery Day
Final design, preoperative preparation, surgery, and postoperative monitoring.
Early Recovery
Swelling management, incision care, medication, and scheduled follow-up examinations.
Suture Removal
Sutures are removed according to the procedure and healing progress.
Before Departure
The clinic checks recovery and provides instructions for continued healing after the patient returns home.
Recommended Stay in Korea
The recommended length of stay depends on the procedure.
Patients undergoing non-incisional surgery may require a shorter stay, while incisional, combined, or revision procedures may require additional follow-up time.
International patients should remain in Korea long enough to complete:
- Initial consultation
- Surgery
- Early postoperative examination
- Incision monitoring
- Suture removal when required
- Final check before departure
A personalized stay recommendation is provided during the consultation process.
Recovery Support for International Patients
Patients receive detailed aftercare instructions covering:
- Swelling and bruising
- Cold and warm compresses
- Sleeping position
- Incision cleaning
- Medication
- Makeup and skincare
- Contact lenses
- Exercise restrictions
- Returning to work
- Air travel
- Scar management
Recovery instructions are adjusted according to the surgery performed and individual healing progress.
English Support and Clear Communication
Clear communication is especially important when receiving surgery overseas.
International patient support may include:
- English communication
- Consultation coordination
- Clear explanations of the surgical plan
- Transparent treatment guidance
- Recovery schedule planning
- Appointment reminders
- Postoperative instructions
- Communication after returning home
Patients are encouraged to ask questions and understand the treatment plan before making a final decision.
Revision Eye Surgery for International Patients
Ahn Sung Min Plastic Surgery Clinic also treats international patients seeking revision surgery after a previous procedure.
Revision surgery may address:

- Creases that are too high or too low
- Multiple eyelid folds
- Persistent asymmetry
- Visible scars
- Unnatural fixation
- Incomplete ptosis correction
- Recurrent drooping
- Unsatisfactory canthoplasty results

Revision surgery requires careful evaluation because scar tissue and altered anatomy can make the procedure more complex.
After Returning Home
Patients receive continued recovery guidance after leaving Korea.
Postoperative communication may help monitor:
- Swelling progression
- Incision healing
- Scar development
- Eye symmetry
- Makeup and skincare timing
- Exercise and activity
- Return to work
