Disease Overview：Lower Blepharoplasty（LB）
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty, also known as lower lid bag correction or transconjunctival/subciliary blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address orbital fat prolapse, skin laxity, and tear trough deformities contributing to the appearance of under-eye bags. These aesthetic concerns often stem from age-related involutional changes—including weakening of the orbital septum, descent of malar fat pads, and thinning of periocular dermis—or may be congenital or exacerbated by chronic edema, allergies, or lifestyle factors. While not a pathological condition per se, persistent lower eyelid bags can significantly impact facial harmony, convey fatigue or premature aging, and occasionally impair vision in severe cases with redundant skin. The procedure typically involves conservative fat repositioning or selective debulking—often via transconjunctival access to minimize visible scarring—combined with skin excision or laser resurfacing when indicated. Preoperative assessment includes evaluation of ocular anatomy, lid tone, and tear film integrity to avoid complications such as lower lid malposition or dry eye.
China offers distinct advantages for international patients seeking this procedure: board-certified plastic surgeons in Tier-1 hospitals possess extensive experience in Asian periocular anatomy and ethnic-specific aesthetic principles; state-of-the-art facilities deploy high-definition endoscopic systems, fractional CO₂ lasers, and 3D preoperative simulation tools; over 12,000 documented cases annually demonstrate consistent outcomes with low revision rates (<3%); and costs average 40–60% lower than equivalent care in the US, South Korea, or Western Europe—without compromising safety or sterility standards. As your dedicated medical tourism agency, we facilitate seamless access: coordinating consultations with vetted specialists, verifying hospital accreditation (JCI or CNAS), providing itemized, all-inclusive pricing with no hidden fees, arranging visa support, accommodation, and postoperative follow-up—all tailored to international patient needs.

Pricing & Service Differences: International / VIP Dept vs. Regular Clinic
International Medical Services (IMS / VIP Departments) at Grade-3A public hospitals and private international clinics operate under self-regulated VIP fee schedules. Fees are higher than standard public clinics (which are subsidized solely for domestic citizens and do not accept overseas insurances). In exchange, international patients receive 6 exclusive medical privileges:
