Under Eye Surgery
Isn't it better to remove the fat?
Dr. Dongil ChoiSimple removal has a high possibility of hollowing out again or losing elasticity over time. Gangnam Seoyeon believes that repositioning an appropriate amount of fat to create a three-dimensional under-eye is more natural and long-lasting.

Middle-Aged Eye Surgery
What is the difference between upper blepharoplasty and double eyelid surgery?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt differs from general double eyelid surgery in that it removes sagging skin and fat while simultaneously creating a natural line. You can expect both secured vision and a youthful effect.

Men's Eye Surgery
Is it possible to do the surgery without it being noticeable?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIf proceeding with a monolid or inner double fold design, the line itself is barely visible while creating a clear impression.

Canthoplasty
Which canthoplasty is right for me?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt depends on your eye shape, facial proportions, and the degree of epicanthal folds. We recommend the appropriate type and amount after a precise diagnosis. At our clinic, lateral and lower canthoplasty are deemed suitable in only about 30% of cases.

Non-Incisional Method
I heard the non-incisional method always comes undone?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIncorrect indications and insufficient knot design are the biggest causes of unravelling. Our clinic precisely diagnoses whether the eyes are suitable for the non-incisional method from the beginning and proceeds with a secure knot design to maintain the line stably.

Dynamic Fixation Incisional Double Eyelid (Ptosis Correction)
Who should get the incisional method?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt is suitable for those with thick skin, excess fat/fascia, sagging, or those unsuitable for the non-incisional method. It is recommended when you want to create a precise line at once and maintain it for a long time.

Men's Eye Surgery
Do men also need ptosis correction surgery?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIf the eye-opening strength is weak, you may look sleepy or develop forehead wrinkles. Ptosis correction is often necessary.
Answered 2026.07.11
Canthoplasty
Can I get only epicanthoplasty?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIt can be done alone. However, natural proportion improvement is better achieved when performed with double eyelid surgery or other canthoplasties.
Answered 2026.07.11
Non-Incisional Method
Who is suitable for the non-incisional method?
Dr. Dongil ChoiThose with thin, elastic skin and minimal sagging or fat are the best candidates. If accompanied by sagging or thick skin, we recommend the incisional method instead.

Under Eye Surgery
Transconjunctival or skin incision, which one is right for me?
Dr. Dongil ChoiIf there is almost no skin sagging and only fat needs to be arranged, the transconjunctival method is suitable. If there is skin sagging that needs to be addressed together, the skin incision (middle-aged lower blepharoplasty) method is appropriate.
Answered 2026.07.11
Middle-Aged Eye Surgery
Can I get upper and lower blepharoplasty at the same time?
Dr. Dongil ChoiYes, it is possible. It is a recommended combination as refining both the upper and lower eyes together provides a natural youthful effect.
