Eyelid Surgery in Thailand: Blepharoplasty Prices, Options and Recovery (2026)

Published eyelid-surgery prices include THB 22,500 for upper blepharoplasty at Bangkok Hospital Khon Kaen and THB 100,000 for combined upper and lower surgery under general anesthesia at Ekachai Hospital, read 27 October 2026. Those prices cover different operations and hospital stays.

What eyelid surgery can treat

Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) says surgery can address either set of eyelids or both together.

ASPS lists loose upper-lid skin, fatty deposits and eye bags among the concerns treated. Its list also includes drooping lower lids and excess lower-lid skin with fine wrinkles.

Upper, lower, combined and double-eyelid surgery

Upper blepharoplasty

ASPS describes an incision within the upper lid's natural crease. It allows excess skin removal and muscle tightening. Fat can also be removed or repositioned.

Yanhee's eyelid page lists upper blepharoplasty as a day case. Ekachai's price list separates an upper-eyelid procedure for older patients from upper-eyelid muscle tightening, so ask for the exact procedure name on a quote.

Lower blepharoplasty

ASPS describes a cut below the lower lashes or inside the lower lid. The inside-lid approach is called transconjunctival surgery; fat can be moved or removed, but that technique doesn't remove skin.

The same ASPS explanation says the incision below the lashes can allow excess skin removal. Ask which incision approach a lower-eyelid quote covers.

Combined upper and lower surgery

Bangkok Hospital's English package page lists combined upper and lower blepharoplasty under local anesthesia as outpatient surgery. Ekachai prints combined procedures under local and general anesthesia, with different admission terms.

When comparing combined surgery with upper-only surgery, keep the operation names beside the prices. Adding a lower-lid procedure changes what the quote covers.

Double-eyelid surgery

Yanhee lists double-eyelid creation alongside upper and lower blepharoplasty. Kamol, TRP and Lelux also list double-eyelid surgery.

Ekachai and Bangkok Plastic Surgery publish separate double-eyelid prices. Kamol lists ptosis correction, epicanthoplasty and canthoplasty separately; don't assume those procedure names are included in a double-eyelid quote.

Published eyelid-surgery prices in Thailand

A hospital's own price and an agency's price come from different sellers. The figures below are published offers.

Dollars at ฿33.14 = $1 (European Central Bank reference rates, 22 September 2026). Converted amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar: THB 22,500 divided by 33.14 = about $679.

Prices in this section were read 27 October 2026. Dollar amounts are conversions unless labeled "printed USD".

Bangkok Hospital's Thai-language page prices upper or lower surgery at THB 54,000 ($1,629), and combined surgery at THB 88,000 ($2,655). Both are local-anesthesia outpatient rows for Thai and expat patients, valid through 31 December 2569 (2026), translated from Thai.

The English fly-in and Thai/expat offers apply to different patient groups. So ask which applies to your booking before using either total.

Yanhee's procedure page starts upper blepharoplasty at THB 33,500 ($1,011), with local anesthesia and sedation as a day case. Its price list also charges THB 45,500 ($1,373) for correction of upper or lower blepharoplasty performed elsewhere, with no overnight stay.

Rattinan's starting rates apply to first-time surgery for patients it describes as having standard anatomy. Its quote has its own validity period, or lasts up to 30 days from issue.

PPSI gives one starting figure alongside two admission options, without separate upper-lid and lower-lid prices. Ask for the total for your proposed procedure and anesthesia.

Ekachai prints conflicting general-anesthesia supplements. Both appear below without selecting one or adding either to its already priced combined general-anesthesia row.

Destination Beauty's agency list has overlapping general-anesthesia rows, too. It prints upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery at THB 49,000 ($1,479) each, but another row says upper or lower eyelid surgery at THB 89,000 ($2,686).

So ask the agency to identify the applicable row in writing.

What the published prices include, and leave out

Bangkok Hospital's English terms include the operating and recovery rooms, supplies and medicine for the specified operation, plus the surgeon and anesthesiologist teams.

The terms exclude pre-surgery medical clearance and the specialist consultation charge. They also exclude laboratory tests, pathology, special instruments, implants and take-home medicines, as well as care for other conditions or complications.

Those are Bangkok Hospital's terms.

Bookimed's listing says most packages in Bangkok, Phuket and Pattaya include the surgeon, local anesthesia and follow-up care.

Ask for an itemized eyelid-surgery quote before paying.

• The exact operation, including upper, lower or both, and any separately priced procedure
• The anesthesia plan and any supplement
• Tests, take-home medication and follow-up appointments
• Any overnight stay and the charges if further treatment is needed

The Yanhee and Ekachai eyelid rows don't provide itemized inclusion lists. So ask each seller to put those details beside the price instead of borrowing another hospital's terms.

Anesthesia, hospital stay and recovery

ASPS describes intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. Thai hospital listings also specify local anesthesia, including Bangkok Hospital's outpatient eyelid packages.

The NHS says surgery takes about 45 minutes to two and a half hours, and most people go home that day. It says most take about two weeks off work.

Admission terms still vary: PPSI prints one night for general anesthesia and none for local anesthesia. Ekachai's combined general-anesthesia row also specifies one night.

The NHS eyelid-surgery guide gives no flying interval.

Risks to discuss with your surgeon

The NHS lists possible eyelid-surgery complications including blurred or double vision, uneven-looking eyes and noticeable scars. It also lists damage to eye muscles, bleeding into the eye socket, impaired vision and ectropion, where the lower lid turns outward.

Its general surgical risks include excessive bleeding, a blood clot, infection and an allergic reaction to anesthesia. These are discussion points.

Frequently asked questions

How much does eyelid surgery cost in Thailand?

Bangkok Hospital Khon Kaen prints upper blepharoplasty at THB 22,500 ($679). Ekachai prints combined upper and lower surgery under general anesthesia at THB 100,000 ($3,018), with one night.

Bangkok Plastic Surgery's clinic list prints USD 1,500 for upper blepharoplasty. All prices read 27 October 2026.

What is the difference between upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty and double-eyelid surgery?

ASPS distinguishes surgery on the upper lids from surgery on the lower lids. Yanhee lists double-eyelid creation alongside those options; ask which operation the surgeon proposes rather than treating every eyelid label as equivalent.

Will I need to stay overnight after blepharoplasty?

The published admission terms differ. Bangkok Hospital lists its local-anesthesia eyelid packages as outpatient, while PPSI specifies one night with general anesthesia and none with local anesthesia.

How long does eyelid-surgery recovery take?

The NHS says most people take about two weeks off work. Your time off might differ.

What are the risks of eyelid surgery?

The NHS lists vision problems and eye-muscle injury among the complications. Uneven eyes and scarring are also possible, alongside infection, bleeding, blood clots and an allergic reaction to anesthesia.

Will I be awake during eyelid surgery?

Yanhee describes local anesthesia with sedation for its upper-lid day case, while ASPS describes intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.

Ask the surgeon to explain the proposed plan and confirm it on the quote.
