This surgery is very popular with the Asian population who often have it done to change the hooded appearance of their single monolids to create more open, double eyelids. Double eyelids are an attribute of Western faces, and there is some controversy over why Asians would want to look Western, but although this is a feature of the surgery, it isn’t the only reason why it may be sought after. 

In some instances, if there is fatty tissue present in the eyelids, monolids may become overly-heavy, affecting eyesight, and so double eyelid surgery may well be the preferred option to address this problem.

Bali is Indonesia’s most popular holiday destination. The country has a lot to offer tourists – it has several UNESCO World Heritage Sites; unique wildlife and a variety of stunning landscapes from pristine beaches to steamy jungles.

We understand anyone’s apprehension at traveling overseas for any kind of medical procedure, let alone surgery, which is why we have made it our mission to provide open and honest information for patients to make their own decision. We conduct a number of background checks on all our clinic providers before we list them on our site. This includes legal/criminal records, real patient reviews, confirmation of doctor qualifications/professional memberships and onsite visits. Our website gives you all the information, as well as clinic photos, maps, prices and much, much more – making it easy for you to see what’s what.

If you are considering Bali as a destination for your double eyelid surgery, then you will be spoilt for choice not just in terms of the excellence of its healthcare facilities, but also because this Indonesian island is a well-established tourist destination. It offers modern travelers all the services, amenities and leisure pursuits they could wish for, so you know you are not going to be stuck out in some backwater somewhere where you can’t even get hold of a takeaway pizza!

Bali does cater for all ages and you can find your own part of paradise here, whether you want to relax in quiet contemplation, get involved with exhilarating activities like white-water rafting, party ‘til dawn – or a bit of everything.

Double eyelid surgery is relatively short – taking around an hour to complete. Typically, a local anesthetic is given and you should be discharged from hospital on the same day.

After surgery, your eyes will feel tight and you can expect to see bruising and swelling. After about 48 hours this will start to dissipate, but it could take two to four weeks before it has completely settled down.

You may have to have stitches removed five to seven days later, or they may be dissolvable. This can be done in Bali or by a local doctor if you need to head home beforehand. After your stitches have been removed or dissolved, you will be able to wear makeup if you need to conceal bruising. You will be advised not to indulge in heavy lifting or vigorous activities to ensure all the tissue has healed.

In Australia double eyelid surgery costs around AUD $8,000 (EURO €5,700; UK £4,900; US $6,000; CAN $8,000). In Bali, prices start from as little as AUD 1,200.
