Personalized care from your first online consultation to long-term follow-up after you return home.
Choosing to travel overseas for surgery is a significant decision. Beyond the procedure itself, international patients often wonder what the entire journey will look like—from the first consultation to recovery after returning home.
At AHNSUNGMIN Plastic Surgery, we believe that successful treatment begins long before surgery and continues well after you leave Korea. Every patient receives a personalized surgical plan, clear communication, and continuous care from the same surgeon throughout the entire process.

Dr. Ahnsungmin focuses exclusively on eyelid surgery, with particular expertise in complex revision cases where previous surgery has altered normal anatomy.
Every consultation, surgery, and follow-up is personally performed by Dr. Ahnsungmin, providing continuity of care from the first evaluation through long-term recovery.
WHY INTERNATIONAL PATIENTS CHOOSE AHNSUNGMIN
Not every clinic is designed to care for patients traveling from overseas.
Our approach is built around clear communication, personalized planning, and continuity of care. Every consultation, surgery, and follow-up is performed by Dr. Ahnsungmin, allowing your treatment plan to remain consistent from beginning to end.
Whether you are considering primary Asian eyelid surgery or complex revision eyelid surgery in Korea, our goal is to help you travel with confidence and return home knowing that your recovery continues to be supported.
YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS ONLINE
Most international patients begin with an online consultation.
After reviewing your photographs and discussing your concerns, Dr. Ahnsungmin evaluates your anatomy, explains the likely causes of your concerns, and recommends an individualized surgical approach.
Rather than providing a generic recommendation, every treatment plan is based on your unique anatomy, previous surgical history, functional concerns, and long-term goals.
This allows you to receive an initial clinical evaluation and make informed decisions about your treatment before planning your trip to Korea.

Planning Your Stay in Korea
Most international patients plan to stay in Korea for approximately 7–10 days, depending on the procedure and individual recovery. Your recommended stay is discussed before travel so that postoperative evaluation and suture removal, when required, can be planned appropriately.
RECOVERING COMFORTABLY IN SEOUL
Recovery is an important part of treatment.
Most patients are able to walk comfortably, enjoy light meals, and spend their recovery period resting near the clinic.
Because our clinic is located in Seoul, patients have convenient access to accommodations, pharmacies, restaurants, cafés, and public transportation throughout their stay.
Our team provides clear instructions to help you recover safely before returning home.
ONE SURGEON CARE CONTINUES AFTER YOU RETURN HOME
Leaving Korea does not mean your care has ended.
After returning home, patients continue to communicate directly with our team through scheduled online follow-up and photographic evaluations.
Because Dr. Ahnsungmin performed your consultation, surgery, and postoperative care in Korea, long-term follow-up is based on a complete understanding of your treatment rather than medical records alone.
For us, continuity of care extends beyond international travel.
SURGERY PLANNED AROUND YOUR ANATOMY
Every eyelid is different.
The goal is never to perform a standard procedure.
Instead, surgery is planned according to each patient’s anatomy, previous operations, tissue condition, and desired outcome.
Because the same surgeon creates and performs the plan, adjustments made during surgery always reflect the original clinical judgment rather than a second interpretation.
