How much does an eye corner surgery cost?

Generally, the reference price for canthoplasty (eye corner opening) surgery ranges from 3,000 to 15,000 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically seen within 1–2 weeks post-operation. The price of canthoplasty surgery may be influenced by various factors including the baseline condition of the eyes, surgical methods, regional differences, surgical materials, equipment, and techniques. Actual pricing is recommended to be confirmed with local hospitals. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Baseline Eye Condition

If the baseline condition of the eyes is poor and the surgery is more complex, the price will increase accordingly, generally ranging from 8,000 to 15,000 yuan per session. If the baseline eye condition is better and the procedure is less complex, the price will be relatively lower, usually between 3,000 and 8,000 yuan per session.

2. Surgical Method

Refined canthoplasty, which emphasizes detailed correction, is relatively more expensive, typically costing 8,000 to 15,000 yuan per session. Basic canthoplasty, suitable for general correction of epicanthal folds, is more affordable, generally priced at 3,000 to 8,000 yuan per session.

3. Regional Differences

In economically developed regions, surgical prices tend to be higher due to increased operational and labor costs, generally ranging from 8,000 to 15,000 yuan per session. In less economically developed regions, where equipment, maintenance, operational, and labor costs are relatively lower, prices are more affordable, usually between 6,000 and 12,000 yuan per session.

4. Surgical Materials

The use of advanced surgical materials, such as imported sutures, increases the overall surgical cost, resulting in higher prices, generally ranging from 8,000 to 15,000 yuan per session. The use of standard surgical materials lowers the cost, thus reducing the price, typically between 3,000 and 8,000 yuan per session.

5. Equipment and Techniques

Advanced medical equipment and techniques enhance the safety and precision of the surgery, reducing bleeding and trauma. The use of high-end techniques increases the overall surgical cost, with prices generally ranging from 10,000 to 15,000 yuan per session. Traditional medical equipment results in relatively lower costs, usually priced between 3,000 and 10,000 yuan per session.

It is recommended to undergo canthoplasty at a reputable hospital under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure surgical safety and effectiveness. Strenuous activities should be avoided after surgery to prevent interference with wound healing.
