Pramès Double Eyelid Price, Results, Recovery & Full Guide (2026)

Struggling with daily eyelid tape, spending half an hour on makeup only to end up with smudged eyes, or having uneven eyelid creases – these issues aren’t only solved by full incision or simple suture methods. Pramès Double Eyelid, as a composite technique that balances minimally invasive and long‑lasting results, is drawing increasing attention from those who value naturalness and a manageable recovery. The price, ideal candidates, recovery period, and how long it lasts are the key questions before making a decision. Based on real data from the Korean market and the surgical principles, this article clarifies the essential information, helping you eliminate concerns and make a more informed choice.

Core Principle

Pramès Double Eyelid is a composite technique combining micro‑incision and suture anchoring. It is not a traditional “suture method” or “full incision,” but a refined approach somewhere in between. Its mechanism primarily involves:

• Tarsal Plate Fixation: 3‑5 micro‑holes are designed on the upper eyelid, precisely anchoring the dermis to the levator aponeurosis to create a stable crease.
• Tissue Remodeling: Through controlled trauma healing, the procedure triggers collagen regeneration, making the fold shape more durable and natural.

Candidacy

If you are troubled by the following, Pramès Double Eyelid is an ideal choice:

• Single eyelid or hidden fold: unclear crease, makeup smudging easily, and a tired look.
• Mild skin laxity but not yet requiring a full incision.
• Asymmetric eyelids: wanting fine anchoring to adjust symmetry.
• Revision needs: previously had embedding that has loosened.

If you have severe ptosis, active blepharitis, keloid constitution, are pregnant/nursing, or have coagulation disorders, Pramès is not recommended.

Treatment Options and Selection

Available Pramès Double Eyelid techniques mainly fall into two routes: Standard Pramès and Pramès Plus, differing in incision length and whether orbital fat is addressed:

• Standard Pramès: 3‑point micro‑incision on the upper eyelid, performing only anchoring without fat removal. Price approx. 2,500,000 – 4,000,000 KRW. Suitable for younger individuals with tight skin and minimal fat.
• Pramès Plus: 5‑point micro‑incision plus fat repositioning or minor skin excision. Price approx. 4,500,000 – 7,000,000 KRW. Suitable for those with mild puffiness and mild laxity.

Korean physicians recommend a plan based on your eyelid anatomy – the most expensive option is not necessarily the best for you.

Treatment Process

The entire Pramès procedure usually takes 45‑60 minutes:

• Pre‑op consultation: The physician designs the marking lines based on crease height and skin laxity, confirming the desired curve with you.
• Local anaesthesia: Topical anaesthetic followed by lidocaine injection; pain tolerance is moderate – most feel “pressure rather than sharp pain.”
• Micro‑incision + Anchoring: 1‑2mm micro‑holes are made at the marked points for tarsal fixation.
• Closure: Using 6‑0 Nylon suture, removed at 5‑7 days post‑op.
• Cooling recovery: Immediate ice packing for about 30 minutes after surgery, then discharge – no hospital stay needed.

Results and Duration

Pramès Double Eyelid results appear in two phases:

• Immediate effect: The crease outline is visible right after surgery, but due to swelling, it may appear wider and deeper – which is normal.
• Progressive effect: Swelling subsides significantly in 2‑4 weeks; the fold reaches a natural state in 1‑3 months; scar softening and final shape stabilisation occur in 3‑6 months.

With proper technique, Pramès results can last 8‑15 years or even longer – far exceeding the 3‑5 years of pure embedding. However, natural ageing and weight fluctuations may still affect the final shape.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Is Pramès Double Eyelid very painful? What is the pain level?

A: There is brief soreness during the anaesthetic injection; once the anaesthetic takes effect, the pain level is about 1‑2/10. During the procedure, you only feel “pressure” and “pulling” – no sharp pain. Most clients say it’s easier than expected.

Q: How long is downtime? When can I return to work normally?

A: The obvious swelling period lasts about 5‑7 days; most clients can return to office work on day 7‑10 with light makeup to conceal. A natural state takes 2‑4 weeks.

Q: What is the difference between Pramès, Korean suture method, and full incision?

A: Embedding (suture) has the least trauma but is prone to loosening; full incision lasts the longest but has a downtime of 1‑3 months; Pramès sits in between – balancing naturalness and longevity, making it more friendly for working professionals.

Q: Will there be scarring?

A: The incisions are only 1‑2mm, almost invisible when eyes are closed, and hidden within the crease when open. Those with keloid constitution should inform the physician in advance.

Q: What should I pay attention to when getting Pramès in Korea?

A: Always choose a clinic certified by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare and a plastic surgeon specialist. Don’t be tempted by low‑priced “studios”; ask to see the before/after portfolio before signing.

Risk Warnings and Rational Advice

Any eyelid surgery carries risks. Common side effects of Pramès include short‑term swelling, bruising, mild asymmetry, and temporary dry eye – most resolve within 1 month.

Rare but serious risks: infection, suture granuloma, crease loss – these require prompt follow‑up.

Rational advice:

• Choose a certified clinic and an experienced physician, and review authentic case galleries.
• Don’t blindly follow “celebrity‑style wide folds” – design based on your eye shape and facial proportions.
• Strictly follow aftercare: avoid rubbing eyes, strenuous exercise, and high‑temperature environments; attend suture removal on time.
