Key Takeaways
If you are visiting from abroad, book ahead and confirm language support directly with the clinic — English-speaking availability varies by clinic in Gangnam-gu (강남구) and is not recorded in the public data summarised here, so check by phone or on the clinic's own booking page before you travel. Ask what to bring (passport or other photo ID) and whether a translated consent form or an interpreter can be arranged.
If you are looking for an eye-opening correction clinic in Gangnam-gu, it helps to read the review tallies together with reviews that specifically mention eye surgery. 아이호성형외과의원 (Aiho Plastic Surgery Clinic) has 389 Naver reviews, 1,270 blog reviews and 219 Kakao reviews, with Kakao and Google ratings of 5 each. Reviews from actual patients describe thinking about eye-opening correction and then going ahead with surgery. 투비성형외과의원 (Tubi Plastic Surgery Clinic) has 849 Naver reviews, 318 blog reviews, 39 Kakao reviews and 8 Google reviews, with Kakao and Google ratings of 4.9 each. However, for neither clinic does the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service data confirm a count of plastic surgery specialists. Reviews and ratings reflect individual experiences and do not guarantee surgical outcomes, so make your decision after discussing your own eye condition and surgical plan in a consultation.
The five selected clinics average about 4.1 on Kakao Map. Naver ratings were not included in the provided data, so they were not compared.
How We Compared
Using the collected data provided, we compared 1,591 Naver Place visitor reviews, 482 Kakao Map reviews and Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service registration records. Review counts are listed separately for Naver, blog, Kakao and Google, and "total reviews" is the sum of those four figures. Overlap between platforms has not been verified, so the combined numbers cannot be read as unique user counts. Ratings are given only for Kakao and Google where the data included them; Naver ratings were not in the data and are marked "not provided". Review quotations are reproduced from the supplied text, and each review reflects the writer's personal experience.
투비성형외과의원 (Tubi Plastic Surgery Clinic)
투비성형외과의원 is rated 4.9 on Kakao and 4.9 on Google, with 849 Naver reviews, 318 blog reviews, 39 Kakao reviews and 8 Google reviews. Adding the four platforms gives 1,214. The number of plastic surgery specialists on record with the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service is not confirmed in the provided data. The reviews include someone who had eye-opening correction and lower-eyelid surgery together, and someone who had a consultation before a first operation. The quotations below are individual experiences and do not mean every patient will see the same course.
"It was my first surgery so I was incredibly nervous and worried, but unlike other places they consulted with me so well, and during the surgery they kept talking to me so I wouldn't be tense, and they finished my lower-eyelid and eye-opening correction nicely." (jin****, November 5, 2026)
"It was my first surgery so I was shaking and very nervous, but they made it so pretty and it didn't hurt at all, so I'm extremely satisfied. There was almost no swelling or bruising, so there was no inconvenience in daily life either — I'm really happy." (app****, October 31, 2026)
The address is 서울 강남구 도산대로 134 4층 시연빌딩 (134 Dosan-daero, 4F, Siyeon Building, Gangnam-gu, Seoul), 238 m from Sinsa Station Exit 1 on the Shinbundang Line. Opening hours are listed as Monday–Friday 10:00–18:30 and Saturday 10:00–16:00, with no Sunday hours given. Lunch hours are not stated in the provided data. Separate evening hours are also unconfirmed, so call ahead if you want a late appointment. Reservations, Wi-Fi, parking and valet parking are listed. Before visiting, confirm whether booking is required and the conditions for parking and valet service, and in the consultation describe your concerns specifically — how droopy your eyelids are and whether you use your forehead muscles when opening your eyes. The reviews mention eye-opening correction, but whether the procedure suits you and the details of the surgical method cannot be judged from the provided data alone. The cost reference range for eye-opening correction is KRW 1.5–3.5 million, and the actual cost must be confirmed through diagnosis and consultation.
사이성형외과의원 (Sai Plastic Surgery Clinic)
사이성형외과의원 is rated 4.4 on Kakao and 5 on Google. With 125 Naver reviews, 70 blog reviews, 42 Kakao reviews and 1 Google review, the combined review count is 238. The number of plastic surgery specialists is not confirmed in the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service data. The reviews provided mention drooping eyelids, brow lift, the non-incisional natural-adhesion method and revision eye surgery. Even if drooping eyelids are your concern, it cannot be assumed that eye-opening correction is the right option, so ask in the consultation about the available surgical choices and how the methods differ.
"As I got older my eyes drooped and that was my worry, and the doctor here lifted the drooping eyelids so naturally that I was grateful. After it I look a bit younger — in photos my eyelids always came down and made me look old, and now that feeling is gone." (물방울74, October 15, 2026)
"I had the non-incisional natural-adhesion method here, and from the consultation to the result the doctor paid such close attention that I'm satisfied. I'm happy with the aftercare too." (율이6589, October 6, 2026)
The address is 서울 강남구 논현로 841 3층 308, 309호 (841 Nonhyeon-ro, 3F, Rooms 308 and 309, Gangnam-gu, Seoul), 225 m from Apgujeong Station Exit 4. Opening hours are listed as Monday–Friday 10:00–19:00 and Saturday 10:00–16:00. It stays open until 19:00 on weekdays, but separate evening hours are not confirmed, and lunch hours were not provided either. Reservations, Wi-Fi, a waiting area, simple payment and parking are listed. Confirm the booking method and parking availability with the clinic before your consultation or visit. Review counts and ratings are reference material, not a guarantee of treatment results. When consulting about eye-opening correction, ask whether an assessment of your eye-opening strength or eyelid drooping is needed, and whether other options such as double-eyelid surgery exist. The cost reference range for eye-opening correction is KRW 1.5–3.5 million, and costs based on your individual diagnosis and surgical plan must be confirmed separately.
아이호성형외과의원 (Aiho Plastic Surgery Clinic)
아이호성형외과의원 is rated 5 on both Kakao and Google, with 389 Naver reviews, 1,270 blog reviews, 219 Kakao reviews and 0 Google reviews. The combined review count is 1,878, the highest of the per-clinic tallies provided. The number of plastic surgery specialists under the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service is not confirmed in the provided data. The reviews mention surgery around the eyes, including eye-opening correction, sub-brow lift and lower blepharoplasty. The writers recorded the consultation and results as they personally experienced them, so whether surgery is appropriate for you must be confirmed through an examination.
"I tend to use a lot of forehead strength when I open my eyes, so I'd been thinking about eye-opening correction, and since it was famous on Instagram too I trusted it and had the surgery. The result is a huge satisfaction. The doctor has conviction and designed it really well, taking my face shape and overall harmony into account." (nkw1018, November 3, 2026)
"I went because it specialises in eye surgery. The manager consulted with me first and checked my questions carefully before I went in to see the doctor, and explained things well. Afterwards they explained the parts I needed and answered my questions, so I felt less anxious, and now my eye surgery has turned out well and I'm satisfied." (민트씨84, November 4, 2026)
The address is 서울 강남구 논현로167길 11 신사빌딩 2층 (11 Nonhyeon-ro 167-gil, 2F, Sinsa Building, Gangnam-gu, Seoul), 197 m from Apgujeong Station Exit 4. Opening hours are listed as Monday–Friday 10:00–19:00 and Saturday 10:00–16:00. Lunch hours and separate evening hours are not in the provided data. Amenity information was not confirmed either, so it is better to ask by phone in advance about reservations, parking and waiting. In the consultation, tell them about your habit of using forehead strength when opening your eyes, the change you want, and any previous surgery, and ask why eye-opening correction is needed, what the alternatives are, and what the recovery process and follow-up care plan involve. The cost reference range for eye-opening correction is KRW 1.5–3.5 million. If congenital ptosis with a visual field impairment has been diagnosed, National Health Insurance coverage may apply, so confirm that first with the diagnosis and the insurance criteria.
더스완성형외과의원 (The Swan Plastic Surgery Clinic)
더스완성형외과의원 has a Kakao rating of 3, with 136 Naver reviews, 977 blog reviews, 172 Kakao reviews and 23 Google reviews, for a combined 1,308. A Google rating was not in the provided data and so cannot be given. The Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service data lists one plastic surgery specialist, plastic surgery as the specialty, and one hyperbaric oxygen therapy unit. The reviews describe personal experiences of careful consultation and surgery and of post-surgical care. Read the Kakao rating alongside the review counts, but rather than judging a clinic or predicting results from the rating alone, have a consultation and see whether your questions are answered fully.
"This isn't an event post, I'm just so satisfied that I'm writing. First, the doctor has a good eye and is meticulous — the consultation alone took about an hour and was thorough, and the surgery was extremely meticulous too. He kept checking constantly during the procedure. I've had a fair number of plastic surgeries, but this was the first time someone was this detailed — almost like an artist or a sculptor. The eye shape came out exactly as I wanted, so I'm very satisfied." (1293950, October 19, 2026)
"The doctor was kind and looked after me more carefully than other clinics, and I'm really happy with the result too." (gom****, September 21, 2026)
The address is 서울 강남구 테헤란로51길 7 4층 (7 Teheran-ro 51-gil, 4F, Gangnam-gu, Seoul), 132 m from Seolleung Station Exit 5. Opening hours are listed as Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 09:30–18:30 and Saturday 09:30–15:40. Thursday hours were not provided. Separate evening hours and lunch hours are not confirmed either, so check before visiting. Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms, reservations, group use, simple payment and parking are listed. The reviews mention hyperbaric oxygen care, but the provided data alone cannot establish that the same care is given to every patient. When booking, confirm whether an eye-opening correction consultation is available and what the scope of pre- and post-surgical care is, and in the consultation ask about the assessment of eyelid function, the surgical method, and what the cost includes. The cost reference range is KRW 1.5–3.5 million, and the actual quote must be confirmed in an individual consultation.
오렌지성형외과의원 (Orange Plastic Surgery Clinic)
오렌지성형외과의원 is rated 3.1 on Kakao and 2.6 on Google. With 92 Naver reviews, 508 blog reviews, 10 Kakao reviews and 2 Google reviews, the combined review count is 612. The number of plastic surgery specialists under the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service is not confirmed in the provided data. The reviews provided focus on double-eyelid line consultations and eye surgery experiences, and no review directly describing eye-opening correction itself was presented. So if you are considering eye-opening correction, it is worth asking first whether the clinic performs that procedure and how it assesses suitability.
"The consultation was systematic and they did a careful job setting the line." (cwhi****, January 10, 2026)
"I trusted it because it specialises in eyes. It's a private clinic and the consultation was thorough, which I liked, and there didn't seem to be any overselling." (both****, December 23, 2025)
The address is 서울 강남구 압구정로28길 49 유림아트홀 2층 (49 Apgujeong-ro 28-gil, 2F, Yurim Art Hall, Gangnam-gu, Seoul), 315 m from Apgujeong Station Exit 4. Opening hours are listed as Monday–Friday 10:00–18:30 and Saturday 10:00–15:30, but whether it opens on Thursdays is not in the provided data. Lunch hours and evening hours are also unconfirmed. Amenity information is not available, so confirm the booking method and parking availability with the clinic in advance. Kakao and Google ratings differ, and each platform has relatively few reviews, so rather than judging by the score it is better to compare what the consultation covers and the surgical plan offered to you. When asking about eye-opening correction, confirm the diagnostic criteria, how it differs from double-eyelid surgery, and the recovery and follow-up plan. The cost reference range for eye-opening correction is KRW 1.5–3.5 million, and if congenital ptosis with a visual field impairment is diagnosed, National Health Insurance coverage may be possible, so confirm the diagnosis first.

Checklist for Choosing an Eye-Opening Correction Clinic
- Assessment of eye-opening function and condition — Ask how they assess your current condition, including eyelid drooping and whether you use your forehead muscles when opening your eyes.
- Whether surgery is needed — Request an explanation of why eye-opening correction is necessary and what alternatives exist.
- Surgical method — Ask which method is proposed for you, why, and what range of change you can expect.
- Side effects and limitations — Hear the possible risks and the precautions during recovery, and check that you understood them.
- Medical staff information — Check the treating doctor and the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service registration records yourself. If the provided data has no information, ask the clinic.
- Cost breakdown — Confirm whether the surgical fee, tests and procedures, and follow-up care are included, and whether extra costs are possible.
- Insurance eligibility — If congenital ptosis with a visual field impairment has been diagnosed, coverage may be possible, so check the diagnosis and the insurance criteria.
- Follow-up plan — Confirm the schedule for progress checks, how to contact the clinic, and what to do if you have discomfort.
- Booking, transport and parking — Confirm the booking method, opening hours and parking availability before you visit. Lunch hours were not provided for any clinic.
Warning Signs
- If a clinic rushes you to decide without properly assessing your eyes or explaining the method, ask why and consider a second consultation.
- Be cautious if a clinic states that results are guaranteed or avoids discussing individual variation and risks.
- If the itemised quote, extra costs and scope of follow-up care are not made clear, confirm them before signing anything.
- Do not judge suitability from online reviews or ratings alone. Reviews are individual experiences and do not guarantee treatment results.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I compare eye-opening correction clinics in Gangnam-gu?
Use ratings and review counts as a reference, but also compare how they assess your eye condition, why surgery is needed and what the alternatives are, the risks and recovery process, and how follow-up care is explained. A high review count or rating alone cannot predict your surgical outcome.
Which clinics in the provided data have reviews mentioning eye-opening correction?
Reviews for 투비성형외과의원 and 아이호성형외과의원 mention eye-opening correction experiences. Reviews are the writer's personal experience, and whether the procedure suits you must be confirmed through an examination and consultation.
How much does eye-opening correction cost?
The cost reference information provided is KRW 1.5–3.5 million. It can vary with your diagnosis, surgical plan and what the cost includes, so ask the clinic for a detailed quote.
Does National Health Insurance cover eye-opening correction?
According to the reference information provided, coverage may apply if congenital ptosis with a visual field impairment has been diagnosed. Eligibility depends on the diagnosis and the insurance criteria, so confirm this first.
Can I get an English-speaking consultation, and how do I book as a foreign patient?
The data summarised here does not state which languages any of these five clinics can consult in, so English-speaking availability has to be confirmed clinic by clinic — call or check the clinic's own booking page before you visit. Reservations are listed for 투비성형외과의원, 사이성형외과의원 and 더스완성형외과의원; for 아이호성형외과의원 and 오렌지성형외과의원, amenity information was not provided, so ask by phone. When you book, confirm the date and time, whether an interpreter or translated materials are available, and what you should bring.
Are the combined review numbers the number of unique patients?
No. The total reviews per clinic is the sum of the review counts provided for Naver, blog, Kakao and Google, and overlap between platforms has not been verified. It cannot be interpreted as a count of unique visitors or patients.
