Eyelid surgery

When it comes to transforming the delicate eye area, few procedures match the precision and artistry required for eyelid surgery. At Gangnamseoyon Plastic Surgery in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, this specialty is led by one of Korea’s most skilled professionals, Dr. Dongil Choi. With years of experience and a refined approach to cosmetic enhancement, Dr. Choi is renowned for delivering natural, balanced, and rejuvenating results tailored to each patient’s unique facial anatomy.
The eyes are not only central to facial aesthetics but also among the first areas to show signs of aging. From droopy eyelids to under-eye bags or asymmetrical double eyelids, many patients seek eyelid surgery to restore a youthful, refreshed appearance. This specialized field includes a range of procedures such as:
Upper Blepharoplasty (Upper Eyelid Surgery)
Lower Blepharoplasty (Eye Bag Removal)
Ptosis Correction
Double Eyelid Surgery (Non-incisional & Incisional Methods)
Revision Eye Surgery
Canthoplasty (Outer/Inner Corner Eye Surgery)
Each of these services requires a deep understanding of eyelid anatomy, precision in surgical technique, and an aesthetic sense that balances beauty with functionality. That’s where Dr. Dongil Choi excels.
Dr. Dongil Choi is a leading authority in eyelid surgery, known for his ability to harmonize cosmetic appeal with structural safety. At Gangnamseoyon Plastic Surgery, he provides customized treatment plans that consider each patient’s skin type, facial symmetry, muscle strength, and ethnic characteristics.
What distinguishes Dr. Choi is not only his technical expertise but also his dedication to minimally invasive methods that reduce downtime, scarring, and complications. His approach emphasizes:
Preserving muscle and tissue integrity
Maintaining natural eye expressions
Minimizing surgical footprints
Ensuring long-lasting and symmetrical results
With a reputation built on trust, artistic insight, and patient satisfaction, Dr. Dongil Choi has become a sought-after name in Gangnam-gu, Seoul for those pursuing transformative eyelid surgery.

Located in the heart of Gangnam, Seoul’s premier district for cosmetic surgery, Gangnamseoyon Plastic Surgery offers a full suite of eyelid surgery services under Dr. Choi’s care. Below are some of the most popular services:
This advanced technique creates a natural-looking double eyelid crease using dynamic adhesion between the skin and underlying muscle. Unlike traditional methods that can appear static or artificial, Dynamic Fixation Double Eyelid Surgery allows the eyelid to move naturally, providing a more youthful and expressive appearance. Dr. Dongil Choi customizes the procedure to enhance each patient’s eye shape while minimizing recovery time and scarring.
For patients with a prominent epicanthal fold (common among East Asian individuals), epicanthoplasty is performed to lengthen the inner corner of the eye. This procedure can make the eyes appear larger, more open, and balanced. Dr. Choi uses precision techniques to ensure that the results are smooth and scar-minimized, preserving the natural curvature of the inner eye without an overdone look.
Men seeking eye rejuvenation often require a different aesthetic approach. Male eyelid surgery at Gangnamseoyon Plastic Surgery focuses on enhancing alertness and vitality while preserving masculine features. Whether it’s double eyelid formation, ptosis correction, or under-eye bag removal, Dr. Dongil Choi offers discreet, natural results designed specifically for the male facial structure.
Aging eyelids can contribute to a tired, sagging, or even angry appearance. Dr. Choi offers specialized middle-aged eyelid surgery for patients in their 40s to 60s, addressing drooping skin, muscle laxity, and fat redistribution. These procedures aim to rejuvenate the upper and lower eyelids without creating an overly tight or unnatural result — preserving individuality while restoring youthful energy.
Excess fat, puffiness, or hollowing beneath the eyes can be corrected through lower eyelid surgery. Dr. Choi expertly performs transconjunctival or skin-incision techniques based on the patient’s anatomy, often repositioning fat for a smoother and more youthful under-eye contour. The procedure helps eliminate dark circles, reduce fine wrinkles, and restore brightness to the overall facial expression.

The clinic’s location in Gangnam-gu, Seoul puts it at the forefront of Korea’s globally recognized cosmetic surgery scene. But it’s not just the location that sets it apart — it’s the clinic’s commitment to safety, individualized care, and surgical excellence.
