How can I receive an accurate personalized quote for my surgery in Korea?

To receive an accurate personalized quote for your surgery in Korea, please send clear front and side photos, your medical history, any previous surgeries, and reference photos of the results you want. Our consultants will review everything with the doctors and provide a customized recommendation and price estimate that matches your condition.

Can I book my surgery online before arriving in Korea?

Yes. Many international patients book their surgery online and finalize the detailed plan when they arrive at the clinic. Before booking, you can receive a full pre-consultation that includes explanations of the recommended procedures, price estimates, pre- and post-operative care, and detailed guidance for planning your trip such as the ideal flight schedule, accommodation period, pre-surgery consultation date, medical check-up, surgery day itinerary, aftercare appointments, and doctor follow-up sessions.

Are consultations free and is a deposit required?

All consultations are free of charge. To secure your surgery date, we require a 10 percent deposit based on your expected total cost. For patients who undergo surgery, all follow-up sessions with the doctor are free. Medical check-ups, screenings, lab tests, and any non-complimentary post-operative treatments are charged separately, but these do not require a deposit to reserve.

Can I change or cancel my surgery date?

Yes, you can change your surgery date depending on the doctor’s availability. Date changes or cancellations are free of charge up to seven days before your scheduled surgery. If you cancel or change the date within seven days before surgery, a percentage-based fee will apply according to hospital policy.

Can the final surgery plan or price change after in-person consultation?

Yes. CT scans and face-to-face evaluation can reveal additional factors such as hidden bone structure, septal deviation, or cartilage conditions that may require extra correction. We always aim to provide an accurate online estimate, but the final plan may change after direct consultation. The final cost may decrease or increase depending on what is medically necessary.

Can NANA provide medical records or doctor’s notes?

Yes. We can provide medical records and doctor’s notes upon request, but these documents are not offered free of charge.

Are there any precautions to take after the natural adhesion burial method surgery?

The burial method uses very fine threads to create the double eyelid line, and over time natural adhesion occurs along the line. To prevent the line from coming undone after surgery, it is advisable to avoid rubbing your eyes vigorously and to be cautious of trauma. Rubbing your eyes forcefully can loosen the adhesion, and severe impact can lead to increased bruising and swelling.

NANA’s Natural Adhesion

Buried Non-Incision Suture

Method is different

Unlike the conventional buried non-incision suture method that
creates a groove to fix with a thread, we create 5-7 grooves along
the individual's skin texture, tying the thread twice (dual lock) to induce
natural adhesion between the skin and the subcutaneous tissue.
We provide a distinct line from the beginning to the end line.

Natural-looking

techniques
without
conspicuous scars

Unlike traditional techniques, we create a natural double eyelid line
by making small incisions in 5-7 areas, partially removing tissue, and
promoting natural adhesion between the skin and the muscle
underneath the eyelids.

the front of the eye, giving an exotic
and extravagant appearance, with
a higher double eyelid height.

This double eyelid line is a blend of
inner and outer lines, starting at
the front and rising towards the back for
a unique look.
