Factors Influencing Cost:

① Regional Differences

In first-tier cities, medical costs are relatively higher, so under-eye bag surgery fees tend to be higher as well. In second- and third-tier cities, lower medical costs may result in lower surgical fees.

② Surgeon Experience

Surgeons with extensive experience and advanced skills may charge higher fees. They can accurately locate fat extraction sites, avoid major blood vessels and nerves around the eyes, and ensure both safety and optimal results. Less experienced surgeons may charge less, but this could entail greater risks.

③ Individual Condition

If a patient’s under-eye bag symptoms are mild, the surgical complexity may be lower, resulting in a lower cost. However, if the under-eye bags are severe and accompanied by significant skin laxity, the procedure becomes more complex, potentially increasing the cost.

For accurate pricing, it is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and consult with a qualified specialist. After surgery, proper post-operative care is essential—avoid getting the surgical area wet too early to prevent complications and support healing.
