A DIFFERENT KIND OF KOREAN CLINIC
Most Korean plastic surgery clinics that market to international patients operate at high volume. Consultations are filtered through sales coordinators. Surgeons rotate. The price quoted abroad is rarely the price local Korean patients pay. The operative report — when one is provided at all — uses vague marketing labels rather than specific clinical terminology.
ETONNE is not that kind of clinic. We are a single boutique anti-aging practice in Gangnam-daero, with four board-certified plastic surgeons — all of whom completed medical school and surgical residency at Seoul National University Hospital — and a dedicated, board-certified anesthesiologist on site for every general anesthesia case.
The surgeon you consult with performs your entire operation. You receive an operative report in English within 7 days, naming the exact technique used. There is no markup for international patients. There is no ghost doctor. We recommend a 24-48h gap between consult and surgery as the default.

WHAT MAKES ETONNE DIFFERENT
ETONNE's signature anti-aging technique avoids the wind-tunnel look of older Western facelift methods. The Faberge vector follows the natural ascending lines of the face like the precise diagonal facets of a Fabergé egg. Learn about Faberge vector →
The youthful muscular roll just below your lash line is a defining feature of East Asian aesthetics. Our lower blepharoplasty protocol marks the aegyo sal separately, preserves the orbicularis oculi muscle, and only addresses herniated fat. Learn more →
Every double eyelid crease at ETONNE is designed against seven anatomical variables. No template. No factory design. See the diagnostic →
For under-eye correction, we move existing fat into the tear trough rather than removing it. No hollow eyes 5 years later. More on fat repositioning →
We do not work through third-party booking platforms. The surgical fee on your invoice is the fee quoted to you, direct from the clinic. Cost Guide 2026 →
When you fly home, you fly home with a clinical document — written in English, signed by the operating surgeon, naming the exact technique used. Patient Safety →
