I think these methods are great for experimenting before making a permanent decision. Many people in Gangnam try tape or thread first. It helps them visualize the final look. Later, some choose surgery for lasting results.
My friend who visited Seoul said she took a thread-based eyelid treatment at Hugo Plastic Surgery and got a soft, natural-looking crease. However, she noticed that the effect slowly faded after a few months. It looked good while it lasted, but it wasn’t permanent. She felt it still helped her understand what kind of double eyelid look she wanted long-term.
Thread lifting for eyelids can give a semi-permanent crease depending on how it is done. It looks natural in many cases. However, it still requires maintenance over time. It is not as permanent or stable as surgical options.
Non-surgical eyelid treatments are ideal if you want zero recovery time. In Gangnam, many people choose them for quick and natural-looking changes. They are often used for special occasions or short-term results. However, the effect does not last as long as surgery.
Eyelid glue is very common in Korea for everyday makeup routines. It gives a quick double eyelid effect without any procedure. It is easy to apply and remove. But it does not change the eyelid structure permanently.
Some people prefer eyelid tape for daily use, while others go for thread-based procedures in clinics. Both options are available in Gangnam depending on your needs. Tape is very temporary, while thread methods last longer. Still, neither gives permanent results like surgery.
