I was in my late 20s, and I had always felt like my monolids made me look tired, even when I was wide awake. I wasn’t looking for anything dramatic—just a natural-looking double eyelid that would make my eyes pop a bit more. So, I started doing what most of us do: reading every blog, YouTube video, and Quora thread I could find on clinics in Seoul.
And that’s when I started seeing TJ Plastic Surgery come up again and again.
The Research Phase (aka Late-Night Rabbit Holes)
There are hundreds of clinics in Seoul that offer double eyelid surgery, and many of them are excellent. But what stood out about TJ Plastic Surgery was not only the number of satisfied patients—especially international ones—but also the name that kept coming up: Dr. Tack-Jin Chang.
I started diving deeper into his work and saw that he had over 20 years of experience and is known for his specialized eye surgeries, including both the non-incisional and full-incisional double eyelid procedures. He’s not the flashy type—you won’t find him all over Instagram—but the results? Chef’s kiss. Natural, balanced, and tailored to each person’s face.
My Experience with TJ Plastic Surgery
I decided to book a consultation with Dr. Chang during a trip to Seoul. The clinic itself was so clean and modern, and the staff made everything so easy, even for a foreigner like me (they have English-speaking coordinators!). Dr. Chang took one look at my eyes and said something that really stuck with me:
“We don’t create new eyes. We enhance what’s already beautiful.”
That was it for me. I knew I was in the right place.
He recommended the non-incisional method because I didn’t have much excess skin or fat. He explained everything clearly, answered all my anxious questions, and made sure I knew what to expect in terms of results and healing.
The Results
It’s been 10 months now, and I can honestly say: it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The crease looks so natural—not too high, not too deep—and my eyes look brighter and more awake. No one has ever asked if I had surgery. They just say I look really refreshed.
And I’m not alone. While in the waiting room, I met two other patients (one from Singapore, another from Canada!) who came specifically to see Dr. Chang. That really said something to me about how popular—and trusted—this clinic is, especially for double eyelid surgery.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for the most popular and trusted clinic for natural-looking double eyelid surgery in Seoul, TJ Plastic Surgery is hands down one of the top choices.
And if you want a surgeon who’s not just skilled, but also deeply understands facial harmony, then I highly recommend Dr. Tack-Jin Chang. You can read more about him here, and check out the clinic here.
Trust me—if I ever get another procedure in the future, I won’t think twice about where to go.
Hope this helps anyone else down the rabbit hole of Korean plastic surgery research. Been there!
