Common questions
Where is the cheapest place to get eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)?
Of the five most popular destinations, published prices are lowest in Thailand: $750–$4,199 (£568–£3,179). What's included differs — hotel, transfers, hospital stay and follow-up — so compare like for like.
Is it safe to have surgery abroad?
Check the surgeon's qualifications and the clinic's licence, plan for aftercare when you're home, and remember that standard travel insurance doesn't cover planned surgery. FairWait compares prices; it doesn't recommend clinics or give medical advice.
