I recently had incisional double eyelid surgery with ptosis correction at Marble with Dr. Suh Yong Hoon and had a fantastic experience! I’ve had uneven eyelids all my life (partial crease on my left eye and monolid on my right) and used eyelid tape daily. I spent a lot of time researching, reading reviews, and looking through before/after photos, and eventually decided on Marble, specifically Dr. Suh Yong Hoon. I was looking for a clinic that focused on natural results, not a "factory clinic" or one that used ghost doctors. Dr. Suh’s work really stood out to me because it looked so natural, and his reviews were very positive. Online Consultation I contacted Marble via WhatsApp in February about double eyelid surgery, and they responded quickly despite the 12-hour time difference. After I shared my budget and eye photos, they recommended incisional double eyelid surgery with ptosis correction and epicanthoplasty. They also provided a quote and mentioned I was eligible for a 10% tax refund. The consultant was completely fluent in English, which made communication easy. I was very happy with my online consultation and paid a 10% deposit to pre-book my surgery for April. A few days before the surgery, my consultant reached out with my appointment time and pre-op instructions. Surgery Day On surgery day, I arrived at the clinic, filled out paperwork, and met my consultant, Hee-Kyung, who was just as sweet in-person as she was online. After discussing my desired crease shape, I changed into a gown, washed my face, and had my before photos taken. Dr. Suh then assessed my eyes, explaining that my right eye was more set back, which may affect symmetry but he would try his best to make them symmetrical. He also said that I had naturally strong epicanthic folds and advised against epicanthoplasty, which would have altered my eye proportions, and explained the small risks with incisional surgery. I appreciated his honesty as it shows that he wants the best results for his patients and omitting the epicanthoplasty made my surgery even cheaper. This was my first time getting surgery, so I was nervous but trusted Dr. Suh and the nurses. I had local anesthesia and felt no pain, just some tugging. The surgery took about two hours, and Dr. Suh checked the crease shape by asking me to open and close my eyes a few times before finishing up. Hee-Kyung confirmed the surgery went well and was surprised I felt no pain during the ptosis correction, as most people felt some pain during that process. Afterward, I rested with an ice pack on my eyes for 15 mins, changed, and received post-op instructions, including a follow-up for stitch removal in 7 days. Post-Surgery After my surgery, I picked up my meds at the pharmacy, where the pharmacist gave me detailed instructions. I had to clean the incision site with saline solution and use the provided antibiotic ointment. My eyes were really puffy, and I couldn’t open them fully for the first few days, so seeing clearly was a struggle. I couldn’t wear contact lenses for two weeks, so I stuck to wearing my glasses and a hat when I went out. The first day was rough — my eyes hurt, and I was pretty tired, so I rested at my hotel for the remainder of the day. I used cleansing wipes to avoid getting the incision site wet and had to sleep upright to help with swelling. For the first three days, I iced my eyes constantly, then switched to a heated gel mask after that. The first few days were the hardest, with swelling and bruising, but by day 4, it was already looking better. Stitch Removal On day 7, I went back to get my stitches removed, and that was probably the most painful part of the whole process. Dr. Suh was really pleased with how everything turned out and said my eyes looked really pretty. I asked him about getting lash extensions or lash lifts, and he suggested waiting at least three more weeks. He also told me my eyes would be mostly healed by 3 months, but won’t be fully healed until at least 6 months. Hee-Kyung was super sweet and said I could reach out if I had any other questions. Overall Experience I had a fantastic experience at Marble. Everyone was friendly and professional, and I absolutely love the results. My eyes are still a bit puffy and the incision lines are noticeable, but they should fade over time. It still feels surreal to think I don’t need eyelid tape anymore. I’m super confident with my new eyes, and I would definitely recommend Marble to anyone considering double eyelid surgery. I couldn’t be happier with the results!
I would first and foremost like to thank Dr. Suh and all the staff members—from the nurses to the friendly consultant—for making the entire process so smooth. From the brief online consultation to the in-person visit and finally booking my surgery, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. I had an amazing experience at Marble Plastic Surgery Clinic! I underwent non-incisional double eyelid surgery with ptosis correction, & canthoplasty (on both the outer corners and bottom lash line of my eyes). I couldn’t be happier with the results—they look natural and exactly how I hoped. The staff was incredibly kind, thorough, and professional, and the clinic itself is super clean and modern. I also received a great promotional discount, which made the entire experience even better. For those who were wondering here is the breakdown of the procedure cost: Second non-incisional double eyelid surgery with the ptosis correction is 2.53 million won. I also got canthoplasty which is 770,000 but since I got two canthoplasty (one on the outer corners & bottom lash line) this equaled out to 1.54 million won. The total with the rhinoplasty was 6.845 million won.
Why I Chose Marble I wanted double eyelid surgery because my hooded lids made my eyes look small in pictures and I was tired of using so much makeup. After a lot of research, I chose Marble and Dr. Suh. I also contacted clinics like ARC, DM, DA, Madeyoung, Banobagi, and NANA, but didn't like the others. ARC responded too late, DM felt pushy, but Marble’s online consultation was fast, detailed, and the English consultant was the friendliest. Since I had limited time in Korea, I put down a deposit to do an in person consult and same day surgery. Consultation and Surgery The online consultation was very helpful. I was hoping to do a non-incisional surgery, and the consultant explained trying the "toothpick test" to check if non-incisional would work. They recommended non-incisional with ptosis correction but said the final decision would happen at the in person consult. On surgery day, my appointment was delayed by a few hours. The staff apologized and threw in an extra IV. During the in person consult, Dr. Suh was very patient and never once did I feel like he was rushing my decision. I showed him my inspiration photos and explained I wanted a very natural look without a deep crease or lid bulging. He recommended the incisional method for better results with my eye shape but said he would keep the cut shallow to look natural. He also said he would try to give me a semi-out crease like I asked. The whole surgery took about two hours and I was awake for most of it which was the trippy part. I felt some tugging and stitching but the pain was about a 3 or 4 out of 10. The most uncomfortable part was the ptosis correction. Afterwards, I was given post-op instructions, ointment, and antibiotics to take for 3 days. Recovery Recovery was a lot easier than I expected! Pain peaked at about a four on the day of surgery because my lids started stinging, but it dropped to almost nothing the next day. I walked around Gangnam the day after and even to Busan for a few days. I definitely didn't ice my lids as much as I should have. I just made sure to wear a hat and sunglasses the entire team to keep the sun out of my eyelids as they were healing. I did have some swelling and bruising, but luckily it just looked like I had purple eyeshadow on. My vision was slightly blurry for a while and my lids are still a bit numb even after 4 weeks. My stitches were removed on day 7 after Dr. Suh checked on my progress, and he deemed the surgery a success. There were no issues with scheduling this time around and I was in and out on time within 15 min. They even had me do a deswelling laser to help with recovery. Results after 4 weeks I am really happy with the results so far because my lids already look pretty natural. There is no bulging and the crease height is close to what I asked for. I am excited to see how it continues to heal! Overall, Dr. Suh was attentive and calm and made me feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend Marble if you want a natural-looking result. Tips - Take bromelain and arnica before and after surgery to help with the swelling and bruising - Bring a mini red light device if you have one. I used mine religiously every day to help with recovery - Wash your hair beforehand since you're not supposed to get the eye area wet - Ask for the tax refund receipt, not the card receipt - Use lubricating eye drops for dry or blurry eyes - Try not to wear makeup for two weeks after stitch removal
I’m currently 2 weeks post-op from my incisional DES and ptosis correction at Marble with Dr. Suh. I’m still quite swollen, so only time will tell how my eyelids will ultimately settle. Online Consultation: Marble was very responsive and provided an online quote quickly. The entire process was smooth and efficient. In-Person Consultation: My English interpreter, Hee Kyung, was fantastic! I never felt rushed during my consultation. Dr. Suh took his time to thoroughly address all of my questions and concerns. Because of my eye asymmetry (one eye protrudes slightly more), he was honest in letting me know that achieving perfect symmetry wouldn’t be possible. Another clinic had recommended epicanthoplasty, but Dr. Suh disagreed and didn’t try to upsell me on any unnecessary procedures. I appreciated his transparency and professionalism. I was informed that I’d be sedated for the first three minutes of the procedure, but awake for the rest. They were also upfront about the ptosis correction potentially being painful, since the eyelids needed to stay functional for Dr. Suh to assess movement during surgery. Due to scheduling constraints, I ended up having the procedure the same day as my consultation. Surgery: I was given extremely light sedation—thankfully, I didn’t feel the initial numbing injections. As someone else on Reddit described it, “it was the sensation of pressure, pulling and kneading and seeing my life flash before my eyes in this weird kaleidoscope imagery that caught me off guard.” That description was dead accurate. I really had to focus on my breathing to stay calm and avoid panicking. I do wish I was given a little more sedation in the beginning. Maybe I should had spoken up but I was pretty terrified to speak or move. Just as I was told, the ptosis correction did get painful at times. At first, it felt like accidentally plucking my eyelid instead of an eyebrow, then that sensation lingered. I completely understand why I had to be awake and not fully numbed—Dr. Suh was incredibly meticulous (!!) and had me open and close my eyes probably 50 times. The entire surgery took about two hours. Things I wish I had: - Background music would had been nice. I needed something to focus on besides my breathing and the beeping of my heart rate on the monitor. - My OR suite door was kept opened. If you don’t speak Korean, the loud conversations through the walls and hallway might sound quit alarming, but there’s no emergency—it’s just how we talk. Recovery: After surgery, I was given an ice pack for about 20 minutes. I thought I’d be able to walk around the city afterwards, but that wasn’t the case for me. My eyes felt tight and swollen—more uncomfortable than painful. My vision was also blurry, even with glasses, but that cleared up within an hour or two. I had pretty intense swelling and black/blue/red brushing for the two weeks I was in Korea. I wish I could hide from life for another two weeks for the swelling to further decrease. Lol
I am writing a review on my experience doing incisional double eyelid surgery with Marble Plastic Surgery. I contacted Marble Plastic Surgery in December 2024 via WhatsApp and was greeted by a professional English translator, Ms Min who provided detailed explanation on the procedure I was interested in. She was extremely helpful and answered all my questions promptly, making me feel prepared for the surgery I booked for late March 2025. Since I was flying over on the day of the surgery, Ms Min was also extremely thoughtful as she enquired my flight time to arrange an appointment time suited to my circumstances. When I first visited the clinic, Ms Min gave me a warm welcome and explained the step by step process of what was going to happen before and after the surgery. Shortly after, I met my eye surgeon, Dr Yong Hoon Suh for an eye consult to discuss the desired shape I wanted to achieve, followed by what was possible and what his recommendations were. Dr Suh was honest and very professional with his work, ensuring that the desired shape of cut is achieved. As for the pain tolerance, I was thankfully not able to feel any at the start of the surgery as I was administered sedative prior to local anaesthetic on my eyes. The nurses and translator in the room were also extremely caring, staying by my side, reassuring me and making me feel safe throughout the surgery. The only part that hurt was during ptosis correction when my eyes were required to be fully open to accurately assess and achieve symmetry for my eyelids - all of which was explained to me prior to the surgery. Since the surgery was a minor one, post-surgical care was quite minimal (cleaning the affected areas with saline solution and adding a thin layer of ointment). There is a pharmacy located on the first floor (Marble Plastic Surgery is on the third floor) so you can purchase those items prior/after the surgery very conveniently. The next day after the surgery, I was able to go out and walk around without any pain at all. I did not have to stay in bed and was able to continue my holiday as per normal. I had to visit the clinic two days later for a review with Dr Suh, and a week later from my surgery date to remove the stitches. I felt mild stings during the stitch removal but it was a rather quick process as the nurse was very experienced. The last step was to rest under a deswelling light machine and that was the end of the whole process. Pictures attached show before, after (right after the stitches have been removed) and 2 weeks after the surgery. I am happy that I went with Marble Plastic Surgery as I placed my trust in Dr Suh’s diligence in perfecting his work, as well as Ms Min’s professionalism and warmth throughout the whole process from the start when I enquired up to the end when I had my stitches removed!
100% recommend Marble!!! Dr. Suh is such a perfectionist and does a great job of managing expectations. He is honest about results and is very straightforward about how you will look. His specialty is working with eyes. He did an upper eye lift to remove my sagging eyelids and he did a FANTASTIC job! I will definitely go back to Marble if I want anything else done.
It has been exactly 2 weeks after my non-incisional double eyelid procedure with Dr. Seo Yong Hoon at Marble Plastic Surgery Clinic and I am so so happy with the results! The before photos are pics of my monolids with lashes/no lashes/my ID pic and the after photos are from the day of the surgery and today(2weeks after) I told Dr. Seo during the consultation that I wanted it to look natural with a thin crease. Dr. Seo showed me what he recommended would be natural and agreed that it would look best if I didn’t go for a high crease. He understood how I wanted it to look like and was able to execute my exact requests/look. He was very gentle, polite and honest so I felt at ease. He also told me an additional epicanthoplasty procedure is an option as well but did not push or pressure me into it which I really appreciated. I eventually did opt to get both the nonincional double eyelid procedure with the epicanthoplasty because I did have a strong Mongolian epicanthal fold (my inner eye corner skin covers alot of my inner eyelid). He reassured me it would be natural and not drastic but enough for the double eyelid to be seen better without the inner corner hiding it. He even showed me examples of past epicanthoplasty procedures he’s done when I asked and told me he will only do the procedure if I explicitly ask for it but it isn’t necessary. It’s only been two weeks but I’m already happy with how it’s looking now, I don’t think you can even notice I got the surgery- I’m surprised at how much it healed up in the span of 2 weeks. I’m excited for when it gets more settled down and fully healed. During the whole process, from consultation to surgery to kakaotalk communications throughout, the team made me feel safe and comfortable and well taken care of. Heekyung kept contact with me and was there to answer any questions I had and was always so sweet and helpful. This was my very first cosmetic proecure so I was very nervous, but I am so glad I made the choice in choosing Marble. Updated on 17 Jan 2025: **Edit: 2 month post op: It has settled nicely! Love how I was able to get back to my regular routine quickly, like working out. It has healed nicely. People are surprised when I tell them I got my double eyelids done, I’ve been told it looks super natural! Updated on 14 Mar 2025: More than 3 months post op now: they look natural and perfect, exactly what I wanted! With eyelash extensions, it’s honestly a game changer - i also wear way less eye makeup now. my eyes look more awake and pretty :)
It’s been a month since my surgery and I wanted to share my amazing experience at Marble Plastic Surgery and Dr. Suh. I contacted them for a brief online consult via WhatsApp, they were very responsive and got back to me quickly with Dr. Suh’s recommendation after I sent them my info and photos. I wasn’t ready to schedule for surgery yet as I was still undecided on the clinic so I booked an in person consult the day after I landed. I knew it was a gamble due to time restraint as I was only in Korea for 8 days. Heekyung was my translator and did my initial consult - what I was looking to achieve, style (outline / semi outline), main concerns and etc. I met with Dr. Suh shortly after and he assessed my eyes, did some measurement and went over a few shape before providing his recommendation. Surprisingly, he recommended non incisional DES with canthoplasty as most online consults I did recommended incisional DES with epicanthiplasty and ptosis correction. He explained his recommendation and went over the pros and cons of each method. I was given the option to follow his recommendation or push through with exactly what I wanted to do. I ultimately went with Dr. Suh’s recommendation and they were able to squeeze me in for same day surgery due to my schedule! He did such an amazing job and it turned out exactly what I was looking for! I cannot be happier with the results and everyone has complimented them Updated on 2 Jan 2025: Updating with my 2 month post op! Swelling has definitely come down a lot, I didn’t realize how swollen it was 1 month post op - photo with make up 1 month and no make up taken now. I will say my right is slightly bigger Updated on 2 Mar 2025: I think my eyes have finally healed after about 4 months; they turned out really natural that most of my friends forgot I got it done. I’m super happy with the results ???? the best thing is that I look so much more awake without makeup up
My experience with Marble Plastic Surgery from pre-surgery to now, 4 weeks post-surgery, has been nothing but stellar. Pictures attached! Through my interactions with the English-speaking staff member via WhatsApp and the great double eyelid surgery reviews I saw online, I decided to pre-book my surgery with Dr. Suh as my surgeon with an in-person consultation before the procedure. During my consultation, the English-speaking staff member was with me the whole time. Dr. Suh was attentive, patient, perfectionistic, and realistic. He listened to my preferences and recommended the same procedure that he originally recommended based on my photos: incisional double eyelid surgery with ptosis correction and upper epicanthoplasty. The procedure took approximately 2 hours and I was awake throughout. Dr. Suh was diligent during the procedure and had me open and close my eyes to check for eyelid evenness and accuracy. After the procedure, I was taken to a recovery room to ice my eyes. I spent the rest of the day in my hotel room resting and icing my eyes to reduce the swelling. For the rest of my time in Korea, I was able to explore the city without any issues. I returned to the clinic a week after and had my stitches removed. Since returning to the US, I have continued to see my eyelids reduce in swelling and I absolutely love the results so far. I can't wait to see the final results in a couple more months. My eyes are even better than I could have imagined and it's all thanks to the amazing work of Dr. Suh. Updated on 2 Jan 2025: It's been about two months since getting my double eyelid surgery with Dr. Suh at Marble Plastic Surgery. I have been loving the results more and more each day as the swelling decreases. There is still visible scarring but it is continuing to fade each day. I did experienced some eye twitching for a couple of days and I reached out the clinic via WhatsApp. They responded very quickly (within the same business day) and let me know that it was normal and should stop within a couple of days. I was worried that the eye twitching wouldn't stop but they were right and my eye hasn't twitched since then. I can't wait to see the final results in a couple months. Updated on 6 Feb 2025: It's been a little over 3 months since my double eyelid surgery with Dr. Suh at Marble Plastic Surgery and the results are amazing. I love waking up looking bright eyed and not having to use my forehead muscles to open my eyes. All my close friends and family members have told me that my eyes look so natural and they wouldn't have known I had surgery until I told them. I still have apparent scars on my eyelids, but I imagine they will continue to fade with time. The surgery was 100% worth it.
I did incisional DES with ptosis correction and lateral canthoplasty with Dr. Suh 1 month ago. Overall I had a positive experience, Dr. Suh was gentle and calmly explained to me what was and wasn't possible based on my facial structure to reign in my expectations. I liked his honesty and detail in the consultation (he pulled out the measuring tape!) which is why i chose to proceed with him. While my eyes are still swollen, I think he delivered on the crease height and desired eye shape. With time it should turn out quite pretty and will look more natural. I would recommend Dr. Suh and the staff at Marble! Shoutout to Heekyung the English consultant, she was really supportive and responsive before, during and after the surgery. Thank you! Updated on 26 Jan 2025: Dr. Suh is amazing! Swelling continues to improve 3 months post-op after incisional DES, ptosis correction and lateral canthoplasty. I'm really happy with the way my eyes are looking more natural over time and while the height of the crease is lowering, I still really like the shape. I've received so many compliments from friends and family that my eyes look pretty! Excited for the final result after 5-6 months!!
