Key takeaways
If you are a foreign patient planning to visit a clinic in Gangnam-gu (강남구), a few basics are worth knowing before you book. Language support varies by clinic, and none of the five clinics below is confirmed in the public data used here to have English-speaking staff, so confirm by phone or on the clinic's own booking page before you visit. Bring your passport or ARC, write your questions down in advance, and ask when you book about interpretation, deposits, and cancellation terms.
If you are looking for double eyelid surgery in Gangnam-gu, check the number of public reviews and the ratings first, then compare what each clinic proposes for your eyes in a consultation. In the data provided, 도이준성형외과의원 (Doijun Plastic Surgery Clinic) has a Kakao rating of 4.7 with 197 Kakao reviews and a Google rating of 4.8 with 1,649 Google reviews. 아몬드성형외과의원 압구정점 (Almond Plastic Surgery Clinic, Apgujeong Branch) has a Kakao rating of 4.2 with 394 Kakao reviews and a Google rating of 5 with 2 Google reviews. Review counts and ratings differ from platform to platform, and some platforms list no rating at all, so these figures alone cannot tell you how a procedure will turn out or which clinic is right for you.
This article compares five plastic surgery clinics in Gangnam-gu by double eyelid–related reviews, published ratings and review counts, location, and opening hours. In the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) data, the number of board-certified plastic surgeons was not available for any of the five clinics, so that item is marked "no information."
How we analyzed the data
The source data covers 1,843 Naver Place visitor reviews, 1,900 Kakao Map reviews, and registration information from HIRA. The five selected clinics had an average Kakao Map rating of 4.0. For each clinic, we separated Naver, Kakao, and Google ratings and review counts by platform, and listed blog review counts as a separate reference figure. "Total reviews" in the table below is a simple sum of each clinic's Naver, Kakao, and Google review counts. Duplicate postings across platforms cannot be verified, so this is not a count of unique patients. Totals that include platforms other than Naver and Kakao may also differ in scope from the 1,843 and 1,900 figures in the collected summary.
도이준성형외과의원 (Doijun Plastic Surgery Clinic)
도이준성형외과의원 is listed with a Kakao rating of 4.7 and a Google rating of 4.8. It has 249 Naver reviews, 197 Kakao reviews, and 1,649 Google reviews, plus 2,366 blog reviews. Review counts vary widely by platform, so it is worth reading the content and posting dates of reviews on each platform alongside the ratings. The number of board-certified plastic surgeons in the HIRA data is recorded as "no information," so confirm directly with the clinic before deciding on treatment.
“I'd recommend this place to anyone thinking about double eyelid surgery.” (나송민3231, November 4, 2026)
“Once the swelling went down, my jawline looked much cleaner.” (피피섬37, November 3, 2026)
The first quote is a short review about double eyelid surgery; the second is about double chin liposuction. The reviews provided contain limited detail on specific double eyelid techniques or recovery, so ask separately in consultation about the clinic's experience with double eyelid surgery and which method is being proposed for you. The address is 서울 강남구 강남대로 476, 12th floor, listed as 16 m from Exit 3 of Sinnonhyeon Station. Hours are 10:00–19:00 Monday to Friday and 10:00–17:00 Saturday; evening hours are not confirmed in the provided data, and lunch hours are not listed.
Reservations, a waiting area, Wi-Fi, mobile payment, and parking are listed as amenities. It is practical to confirm by phone how to book and whether parking is available and on what terms. The phone number is 02-511-7705. In a double eyelid consultation, ask which method is being proposed — buried (non-incisional), partial incision, or full incision — why ptosis correction is being recommended if it is, and what the recovery and follow-up plan looks like. Costs depend on the technique and what is included, so ask for the total and whether VAT is included.
아몬드성형외과의원 압구정점 (Almond Plastic Surgery Clinic, Apgujeong Branch)
아몬드성형외과의원 압구정점 is listed with a Kakao rating of 4.2 from 394 reviews and a Google rating of 5 from 2 reviews. It has 1,025 Naver reviews and 804 blog reviews. With only two Google reviews, the Google rating is hard to compare against other clinics. The number of board-certified plastic surgeons in the HIRA data is "no information." Some reviews cover natural-adhesion surgery, ptosis correction, and revision consultations, which gives you a sense of what consultations are like, but reviews are individual experiences and do not guarantee results.
“They looked at everything carefully from the first consultation for natural-adhesion revision and ptosis correction, which I liked.” (쭈2140, November 2, 2026)
“I had natural-adhesion surgery and the line looks natural and my eyes look clearer, so I'm satisfied.” (랄랄릴, November 2, 2026)
Other reviews mention waiting longer than the appointment time. It is therefore worth confirming in advance how long you may wait on the day of consultation or surgery, how schedule changes are handled, and how much buffer to leave in your day. The address is 서울 강남구 논현로 832, 안목빌딩 floors 1–7, listed as 350 m from Exit 3 of Apgujeong Station. Hours are 10:00–19:00 Monday, 10:00–19:00 Tuesday to Thursday, 10:00–21:00 Friday, and 10:00–16:00 Saturday, so Friday has evening hours. Lunch hours are not listed in the data.
Reservations, Wi-Fi, parking, separate men's and women's restrooms, and valet parking are listed. Confirm the booking confirmation process and the conditions for valet parking before your visit. The phone number is 0507-1411-5900. In a double eyelid consultation, ask whether natural-adhesion surgery is possible for your eyes, and if this is a revision, which aspects of the previous surgery are being taken into account, and what the basis is for recommending ptosis correction. Don't decide based on the word "natural" alone — confirm the line you want, the realistic limits, and whether the quoted cost includes VAT.
오렌지성형외과의원 (Orange Plastic Surgery Clinic)
오렌지성형외과의원 is listed with a Kakao rating of 3.1 and a Google rating of 2.6. It has 92 Naver reviews, 10 Kakao reviews, and 2 Google reviews, plus 508 blog reviews. With only 10 Kakao reviews and 2 Google reviews, read the ratings together with what the reviews actually say. The number of board-certified plastic surgeons in the HIRA data is "no information." The double eyelid–related reviews provided include experiences with consultation, line selection, and in-out lines.
“The consultation was well organized and they looked closely at the line when setting it.” (cwhi****, January 10, 2026)
“I had the consultation in a friendly atmosphere and they chose the line carefully, so I was satisfied.” (comp****, December 20, 2025)
The quotes above are individual experiences and do not guarantee surgical results. The address is 서울 강남구 압구정로28길 49, 유림아트홀 2nd floor, listed as 315 m from Exit 4 of Apgujeong Station. Hours are 10:00–18:30 Monday to Friday and 10:00–15:30 Saturday; evening hours are not confirmed in the provided data. Lunch hours and amenity information are also not listed.
The phone number is 02-546-0042 and the website is orangeps.co.kr. Whether reservations are accepted and whether parking is available are not in the data, so confirm with the clinic before you visit. In a double eyelid consultation, describe the line you want and the current condition of your eyes, and ask how the proposed method differs from the alternatives. Even if you are interested in the in-out line mentioned in reviews, whether that line suits you has to be confirmed through an examination and consultation. It is also worth asking about expected costs, the follow-up visit schedule, and whether VAT is included.
노상훈성형외과의원 (Noh Sang-hoon Plastic Surgery Clinic)
노상훈성형외과의원 is listed with 346 Naver reviews, 944 Kakao reviews, 9 Google reviews, and 2,092 blog reviews. The Google rating is 3.4, and Naver and Kakao ratings are not in the data. Some reviews discuss double eyelid options in consultation, but the reviews provided also include breast surgery content, so not every review is about eye surgery. The number of board-certified plastic surgeons in the HIRA data is recorded as "no information."
“I was torn between the buried and incisional methods, so I had a consultation to ask whether incisional double eyelid surgery was possible for me.” (lozd****, November 4, 2026)
“It was hard to tell from the internet alone which method suited my eyes, so I asked questions one by one during the consultation.” (lozd****, November 4, 2026)
Both quotes come from the same review, so they are not two independent assessments but one visitor's consultation experience. The address is 서울 강남구 도산대로 110, 케이비엘 센터 7th floor, listed as 4 m from Exit 1 of Sinsa Station. Hours are 10:00–19:00 Monday to Friday and 10:00–16:00 Saturday; evening hours and lunch hours are not listed in the data.
Reservations, Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms, a waiting area, mobile payment, and parking are listed. Some reviews mention patient traffic crossing paths, so you can ask in advance about the layout and waiting area and about what you need. The phone number is 0507-1417-3639. In a double eyelid consultation, ask not only about the difference between the buried and incisional methods but also why each method is being proposed, the scope of surgery, and the recovery and follow-up plan. No data separates double eyelid reviews from the rest, so it is important not to read the total review count as the number of eye-surgery reviews.
차이성형외과의원 (Chai Plastic Surgery Clinic)
차이성형외과의원 is listed with a Google rating of 4.9, but from a single Google review. It has 131 Naver reviews, 355 Kakao reviews, and 837 blog reviews, and Naver and Kakao ratings are not in the data. The high Google rating therefore has to be weighed against the very small number of reviews. The number of board-certified plastic surgeons in the HIRA data is "no information." The reviews provided cover eye revision consultations, one month after surgery, and under-eye and lateral canthoplasty experiences, but they are not limited to double eyelid surgery.
“The doctor looked at my eyes and even told me about parts that didn't need work, which made me trust him.” (1231kkw, October 26, 2026)
“It's been a month since my eye revision, and although bruising and swelling remain, I'm satisfied compared with before.” (yorxk, October 2, 2026)
The second review is an account that still had swelling and bruising at the time of writing. The address is 서울 강남구 강남대로 406, 글라스타워 14th floor, listed as 15 m from Exit 11 of Gangnam Station. Hours are 10:00–19:00 Monday to Friday and 10:00–16:00 Saturday; evening hours are not confirmed in the provided data. Lunch hours are not listed.
Reservations, Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms, mobile payment, and parking are listed. One review describes a booking process in which the clinic contacts the patient and then confirms the appointment, but the data cannot show whether this applies to all bookings, so ask about the procedure when you book. The phone number is 02-540-4217. In a double eyelid or revision consultation, describe the change you want and the change you want to avoid, and ask whether there are parts that don't need surgery and what the limits of each method are. For revision, consult based on your surgical history and current condition, and confirm costs, VAT, and follow-up terms.
At-a-glance comparison
Total reviews is a simple sum of Naver, Kakao, and Google review counts; duplicates across platforms have not been verified. Where a Naver rating was not provided, the table says "not provided."
| Clinic | Naver rating | Kakao rating | Google rating | Total reviews | Board-certified plastic surgeons | Location | Strengths and points to check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 도이준성형외과의원 (Doijun Plastic Surgery Clinic) | Not provided | 4.7 | 4.8 | 2,095 | No information | 서울 강남구 강남대로 476; 16 m from Sinnonhyeon Stn. Exit 3 | 1,649 Google reviews; double eyelid reviews need to be checked directly |

| 차이성형외과의원 (Chai Plastic Surgery Clinic) | Not provided | Not provided | 4.9 | 487 | No information | 서울 강남구 강남대로 406; 15 m from Gangnam Stn. Exit 11 | Eye revision and consultation reviews; only 1 Google review |
Review counts and ratings are aggregates of publicly available data by platform and are not indicators of surgical safety or outcomes. Naver and Kakao ratings were not provided as per-clinic data, so no figures were created for the table.
Checklist for choosing a double eyelid clinic
- The reasoning behind the method — Ask which method is being proposed (buried, partial incision, or full incision) and how it relates to your eye condition.
- The line you want and its limits — Describe the shape you want and confirm specifically what can change and what is difficult.
- Whether ptosis correction is needed — If an additional procedure is proposed, confirm separately why it is needed, its scope, and the extra cost.
- Medical staff information — Because the number of board-certified plastic surgeons is not in the provided data, confirm directly with the clinic who holds the qualifications and who will be responsible for your consultation and surgery.
- What was said in the pre-surgery consultation — Check that the surgical plan you heard in consultation matches what you are told at booking and before surgery.
- Cost items — Confirm what is included (surgery fee, tests, anesthesia, medication) and the possibility of additional charges.
- Whether VAT is included — Confirm whether the quoted amount includes value-added tax.
- Booking and waiting — Confirm how bookings are confirmed, expected waiting times, and the terms for changing or cancelling.
- Parking and transport — Confirm parking availability, fees, and valet terms, plus the nearest subway exit and walking distance.
- Follow-up care and how to ask questions — Confirm the follow-up visit schedule, who to contact, and how to reach the clinic if something seems wrong.
Warning signs
- Being rushed into surgery without a consultation — You need time to hear about your condition and the options, and to ask questions.
- Promising a definite result — Reviews or a consultation talk cannot guarantee an individual outcome. Ask for a concrete surgical plan and its limits.
- Unclear reasons for extra procedures or costs — Unless you confirm why an add-on such as ptosis correction is needed, what it costs, and whether VAT is included, it is hard to judge the total.
- Vague information about booking, waiting, or follow-up — These can affect your schedule on the day and your aftercare, so confirm the specific process before you visit.
Frequently asked questions
Should I just choose the highest-rated double eyelid clinic in Gangnam-gu?
Ratings are one reference point among several. Review counts differ by platform, and some ratings rest on very few reviews. Look at what the reviews say and when they were posted, and weigh that against what you hear in your own consultation.
Can I find out how many board-certified plastic surgeons work at each of these clinics?
In the HIRA registration data provided, all five clinics show "no information" for the number of board-certified plastic surgeons. That means no figure was available in the data, not that there are none; confirm the actual number, and who will perform your procedure, through the clinic or the registry itself.
How much does double eyelid surgery cost?
The 2026 reference prices provided are 800,000–1,500,000 KRW for the buried method, 1,500,000–2,500,000 KRW for partial incision, and 2,000,000–3,500,000 KRW for full incision. Adding ptosis correction may add 1,000,000–2,000,000 KRW. These are reference figures for treatment that is not covered by national health insurance, and actual quotes vary by clinic, so confirm whether VAT and other costs are included.
Can I book a consultation in English at these clinics?
The data used for this article does not say whether any of the five clinics has English-speaking staff, an interpreter, or a separate desk for international patients, and this article does not claim that they do. Language support varies by clinic, so call the number listed for each clinic — for example 02-511-7705 for 도이준성형외과의원 (Doijun Plastic Surgery Clinic) — or check the clinic's own website or booking page, and ask directly whether an English-speaking consultation is possible, whether a deposit is required, and what you should bring.
Can I judge surgical results from reviews alone?
No. Reviews are one person's experience. Rather than using them on their own to work out which method suits you or what result to expect, use an examination and consultation to confirm the surgical plan and its limits.
Do I have to decide on the day of the consultation?
The data provided does not show whether any particular clinic expects a same-day decision. Decide after you understand the method, cost, recovery, and follow-up plan and have had time to compare. You can also ask in advance about deposit, change, and cancellation terms.
Final thoughts
When comparing double eyelid clinics in Gangnam-gu, use ratings and review counts as a reference, but separate out the reviews that are actually about double eyelid surgery, and confirm the method, medical staff, cost, and follow-up care in consultation. In this data, double eyelid–related reviews were available for 도이준성형외과의원 (Doijun Plastic Surgery Clinic) and 아몬드성형외과의원 압구정점 (Almond Plastic Surgery Clinic, Apgujeong Branch), and the other clinics also had reviews covering eye surgery or consultations. Which clinic suits you depends on your own condition and what you hear in consultation. If language is a deciding factor, ask each clinic directly about English-speaking support before you book — the public data used here does not confirm it for any of the five.
This article summarizes the reviews and public registration data provided and does not replace a diagnosis or a doctor's care. Decide whether to have surgery, and which method, after a medical institution has examined your condition. Review ratings and personal accounts do not guarantee results.
