Double Eyelid Surgery in Vietnam
Who it's for
Double eyelid surgery may be right for you if you have:
A mono-lid, with no natural fold
A crease that's faint or uneven between the two eyes
Hooded skin that hides the eyelid entirely
Many patients have wanted a double eyelid for years and held off because of the price of doing it in Korea, Japan, or at home — others book it alongside rhinoplasty or facial contouring during the same trip to Vietnam.
Technique
Incisional (full incision) method
Removes excess skin and fat through a full incision along the crease line, creating a permanent, well-defined double eyelid. The standard choice for hooded eyelids, thicker skin, or a previous crease that needs correcting rather than creating.
Non-incisional (suture) method
Forms the crease with small sutures instead of a full incision — less swelling, faster return to normal activity. Best suited to thinner eyelid skin and minimal excess tissue.
What's included
Pre-op consultation — Free online eyelid assessment and a recommendation on incisional vs. non-incisional technique, before you book flights.
The procedure — Performed under local anesthesia with light sedation by a Department of Health-licensed surgeon in Ho Chi Minh City.
Follow-up visit(s) — In-person check before you fly home. [Confirm number of follow-ups included.]
Aftercare — WhatsApp access to your care team for questions during recovery, wherever you are.
Recovery
Swelling and bruising are heaviest in the first 2 to 3 days and mostly resolve within 7 to 10 days. For the incisional method, stitches are typically removed around day 5 to 7. The crease continues to soften and settle over 4 to 6 weeks, when most patients see their final result.
Price
From $800 — final price depends on technique and whether it's combined with another procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does double eyelid surgery cost in Vietnam?
Double eyelid surgery starts from $800, depending on technique and whether it's combined with another procedure. You'll get a written quote for your specific case during your free consultation, before you book anything.
What's the difference between incisional and non-incisional double eyelid surgery?
Incisional removes excess skin and fat for a permanent crease — better for hooded eyelids or correcting a previous result. Non-incisional uses sutures instead of a full incision, with less swelling and a faster recovery, but suits thinner eyelid skin best. Your surgeon recommends one for your eyes during consultation, not before.
Will it look natural, not overdone?
A well-placed crease is sized and shaped to match your existing eye shape, not a fixed template.
Can I combine this with another procedure?
Yes, it's commonly booked alongside rhinoplasty or facial contouring in the same trip to Vietnam.
How soon can I fly home after eyelid surgery?
For the non-incisional method, most patients are cleared to fly after 3 to 5 days. For the incisional method, plan to stay 7 to 10 days, through your stitch removal, flying with stitches still in, or before swelling has settled, isn't recommended, since cabin pressure and dry cabin air can make swelling and irritation worse.
