Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery
A Surgeon-Led Approach to Complex and Revision Eyelid Surgery
Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery — Korea’s Eye Revision Specialty Clinic
Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery is a Korea-based clinic dedicated exclusively to complex and revision eyelid surgery.
Unlike large hospital systems where care is often divided among multiple providers, every stage of treatment—from the initial consultation to surgery and long-term follow-up—is personally performed and overseen by one surgeon, Dr. Ahn Sung Min.
The name “Ahnsungmin” is not simply a clinic name; it reflects Dr. Ahn’s personal responsibility for every surgical decision and outcome.
Revision eyelid surgery requires restraint, sound judgment, and a long-term perspective. Dr. Ahn places particular emphasis on responsible decision-making and continuity of care, especially in complex revision cases.
Patients from the United States and around the world seek Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery after one or more unsuccessful procedures elsewhere, often in search of a final revision. These cases commonly involve multiple prior surgeries, tissue damage, and complex structural challenges, requiring not only advanced surgical skill but also extensive experience and careful clinical judgment.
For this reason, many international patients travel to Korea specifically to seek complex eyelid revision surgery at Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery.
Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery is located in Seoul, South Korea.

Our Modern & Well-Equipped Facility
Our clinic maintains the safety standards of a surgical hospital while providing a calm and focused environment dedicated to eyelid surgery.
The facility has been carefully designed and upgraded with modern surgical equipment, operating rooms, and outpatient treatment spaces to support precise and safe procedures.
All treatments are performed under carefully monitored conditions by experienced medical staff. Patient safety remains our highest priority, and every procedure is conducted with strict attention to surgical standards and postoperative care.
Our Vision
Experience, Focus, and a Singular Commitment to Eye Surgery
Dr. Ahn Sung Min brings over 20 years of experience in eyelid and revision eye surgery, with nearly two decades devoted exclusively to the study and practice of eye surgery.
This depth of specialization has shaped Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery into a focused clinic recognized for its expertise in complex eyelid correction.
Since establishing a dedicated eye surgery clinic in 2014, our guiding principle has remained clear:
“The final eye surgery should be performed at Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery.”
Rather than encouraging repeated procedures, we aim to minimize unnecessary surgery through careful diagnosis, responsible decision-making, and a commitment to achieving stable long-term results.
Our goal is not dramatic transformation, but refinement, balance, and natural outcomes that respect each patient’s individual eye characteristics.
Our Goal
Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery is dedicated to providing specialized eyelid surgery for both Korean and international patients.
Specialized Focus on Eyelid Surgery
Our clinic is devoted exclusively to eyelid and eye-related procedures. Through extensive clinical experience and a strong understanding of eyelid anatomy, we provide careful and evidence-based surgical planning tailored to each patient’s condition.
Integrated One-Stop Care System
From consultation to surgery and postoperative follow-up, all stages of treatment are managed within a single coordinated system. This approach allows us to maintain consistency of care while prioritizing patient safety and surgical precision.
Care for International Patients
We provide dedicated support for international patients to ensure clear communication and smooth coordination throughout the treatment process. Our team assists patients from consultation through recovery, helping minimize language and cultural barriers.
Individualized Treatment Planning
Each patient receives a personalized surgical plan based on eyelid anatomy, functional concerns, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle considerations. Our objective is not excessive change, but natural, stable, and medically sound results.
Our Excellence
At Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery, excellence is defined by how we practice rather than how we promote.
Every surgical decision is guided by precision, restraint, and long-term stability rather than short-term cosmetic change. This philosophy shapes how each procedure is planned, performed, and evaluated over time.
Our responsibility extends well beyond the day of surgery. We emphasize thorough consultation, careful recovery monitoring, and continuous availability throughout the healing process.
What ultimately distinguishes Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery is consistency—natural results that age well, a low incidence of revision, and patient trust built through reliable outcomes rather than promises.
The Medical Philosophy of Ahn Sung Min Plastic Surgery
Why Local Anesthesia Is the Standard at Ahnsungmin Clinic
Your Safety and Precision in Eye Surgery
At Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery, eyelid procedures are performed under local anesthesia whenever possible.
This approach allows the surgeon to evaluate eyelid position, symmetry, and muscle function in real time during the procedure, helping achieve more precise and natural results.
Precision and Symmetry During Surgery
Because patients remain awake under local anesthesia, Dr. Ahn can observe natural eyelid movement and eye position throughout the procedure. This allows immediate adjustment of eyelid height, crease formation, and symmetry between both eyes.
Real-time evaluation helps ensure that surgical outcomes remain balanced with the patient’s natural facial expressions.
Safety and Faster Recovery
Local anesthesia also offers several advantages for patient safety and recovery.
Patients avoid many of the side effects associated with general anesthesia, and postoperative recovery is typically faster and more comfortable.
Dr. Ahn’s refined injection technique minimizes tissue trauma and helps reduce swelling and bruising after surgery.
Why Eye Surgery Requires Natural Eye Position
When patients are under general anesthesia, the eyes naturally rotate upward and outward. This position differs from how the eyes appear in everyday life and can make it more difficult to achieve accurate eyelid symmetry.
Local anesthesia allows Dr. Ahn to operate while observing the eye in its natural position, enabling more precise adjustments and more predictable results.
A Surgical Philosophy Focused on Accuracy
At Ahnsungmin Plastic Surgery, the use of local anesthesia is not simply a matter of convenience. It reflects a surgical philosophy focused on precision, safety, and long-term stability.
By combining extensive experience in eyelid surgery with a carefully refined local anesthesia technique, Dr. Ahn aims to deliver results that are natural, balanced, and reliable over time.
