What is monolids?

Upper eyelids without a visible crease. Common causes include natural East Asian eyelid anatomy. Because several factors are often involved at once, Gangnam clinics usually begin with a skin or facial analysis and then combine treatments rather than relying on a single procedure.

• Non-Incisional Double Eyelid – a suture-based buried technique for a natural crease (typically ₩800,000–₩2,000,000; downtime: swelling 5-7 days)
• Epicanthoplasty – inner corner surgery that opens the eye horizontally (typically ₩800,000–₩2,000,000; downtime: swelling 1-2 weeks)

How doctors build a plan

A typical plan starts with the least invasive option that matches the cause, then adds stronger treatments if needed. Many visitors combine a device treatment with an injectable on the same day, but your doctor should confirm what can be safely combined and how far apart sessions should be.
