Ptosis Correction (Eye-Line Correction) cost questions
What is the difference between eye-line correction and ptosis surgery?

How much does adding ptosis correction to double eyelid surgery cost?
Guides cite about 500,000-1,500,000 KRW extra for cosmetic correction and 800,000-2,000,000 KRW for functional repair.
Can I have non-incisional eye-line correction?
Yes, for mild cases. Published prices run about 649,000-1,400,000 KRW.
Is ptosis surgery covered by insurance for tourists?
Korean insurance can cover functional ptosis for enrolled patients; tourists normally pay the full non-covered price.
How long should I stay after eye-line correction?
Plan about a week for swelling and a follow-up.
