Clinic information and questions to ask
On a small screen, swipe the table sideways to read every column.
| Clinic and published location | Published information | Points to clarify |
|---|---|---|
| BANOBAGI Plastic Surgery 517 Nonhyeon-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea Official location source | The English introduction lists double-eyelid surgery, ptosis correction, canthoplasty and other eye procedures. Read the official information | The menu confirms relevant categories but does not identify a male-specific method or indication. Ask: Which examination findings would lead you to recommend crease surgery alone rather than ptosis or corner surgery? |
| BECOME Plastic Surgery 2F, Suite 201, IS Tower, 101 Teheran-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea (Yeoksam-dong) Official location source | The English men's eye page discusses a monolid or subtle hidden crease alongside ptosis assessment. Read the official information | This supports asking how a subtle design goal is separated from eyelid-opening function. Ask: Can the surgeon assess opening strength while planning a crease that remains subtle or preserves a monolid? |
| BRAUN Plastic Surgery 475 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea Official location source | The English page describes incisional and non-incisional double-eyelid surgery and related eye procedures. Read the official information | A consultation can compare crease methods while checking whether another eye finding changes the plan. Ask: What finding would make incision, non-incision or a combined eye procedure appropriate in my case? |
| JK Plastic Surgery 835, Nonhyeon-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea Official location source | JK says eye-surgery selection considers skin, fat, fold height, symmetry and eyelid muscle. Read the official information | This gives a concrete examination checklist for comparing design and function. Ask: Please record your findings for skin, fat, symmetry, fold height and eyelid muscle before naming a method. |

Start with the result you want to preserve
Many men begin with a visual preference: keep a monolid, create a crease that stays mostly hidden, or make the eyes look less tired without an obvious fold. Write that preference in plain language and bring neutral front and oblique photographs. A clinic page can show which designs it discusses, but it cannot determine whether the issue comes from crease shape, eyelid-opening strength, skin, fat, brow position, or asymmetry.
BECOME is the only clinic in this shortlist with a page specifically framed around men's eye surgery. Its page mentions a monolid or subtle hidden crease and also refers to ptosis assessment. That combination is useful because it keeps appearance and function in the same consultation without assuming that every man wants the same design.
Compare the examination and proposed method
Non-incisional, partial-incision, incisional, ptosis correction, and corner procedures describe different choices. They are not interchangeable menu upgrades. JK says its selection considers eyelid skin, fat, fold height, symmetry, and eyelid muscle. BRAUN describes incision and non-incision crease methods and notes that related eye procedures may be combined when needed. BANOBAGI lists double-eyelid surgery, ptosis correction, canthoplasty, and other eye procedures, but that list does not show which one suits a particular person.
Start with the clinical finding
A useful explanation starts with the observed issue, then connects it to a proposed method. Request separate comments on crease height, opening strength, excess tissue, eyebrow contribution, and left-right difference. This makes four consultations easier to compare and reduces the risk of treating a method name as a diagnosis.
Build a consultation worksheet before contacting clinics
Use the same worksheet for every clinic. Record your preferred visible crease, whether you want to preserve a monolid, symptoms such as fatigue or difficulty opening the eyes, previous procedures, dry-eye history, medications, and the dates available for follow-up. Add a blank line for the clinician's diagnosis and another for alternatives that were considered but not recommended.
- Desired appearance in relaxed eyes
- Functional concern, if any
- Proposed method and reason
- Whether ptosis or brow position was assessed
- Anesthesia, stitch removal, follow-up and return-travel plan
The NHS eyelid surgery guide separates upper and lower approaches and recommends discussing risks and follow-up. The ASPS eyelid safety page also lists dry eye, closure difficulty, scarring, revision, and vision changes as subjects for medical discussion.
Check communication and aftercare before choosing
Confirm whether the treating surgeon will communicate in English and who will translate the examination, consent, medication instructions, and urgent messages after discharge. BECOME lists LINE in English and WhatsApp. BANOBAGI provides price-inquiry contacts. BRAUN has online and video consultation for out-of-town patients. JK describes a native-language coordinator pathway. These are contact facts, not evidence that one clinic has a better clinical result.
The NHS guidance on cosmetic surgery abroad recommends checking qualifications, language, aftercare, insurance, complications, and return travel. Request each clinic's written schedule. Your final choice should follow an individualized examination, a method-specific explanation, and a plan for care after you leave Korea.
Frequently asked questions
Does a men's eyelid page mean the method is different?
Not necessarily. The useful question is how the clinic examines anatomy, function and the requested degree of crease visibility.
Can I request a monolid or hidden crease?
You can state that preference, but the clinician must assess whether the requested design and any functional concern can be addressed safely.
Should price decide between incision and non-incision?
No. Compare the diagnosis, method, inclusions and follow-up first. A cheaper quote is not evidence that a method suits your eyelids.
