Rhinoplasty (Nose Reshaping)
鼻整形
Rhinoplasty in China combines advanced surgical techniques with aesthetic sensibilities refined by the world's largest cosmetic surgery market. Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital and major cosmetic surgery centers across China offer both structural rhinoplasty (using rib cartilage or ear cartilage) and augmentation rhinoplasty with high-quality silicone or Gore-Tex implants. Chinese surgeons are particularly skilled at Asian rhinoplasty techniques including tip refinement, bridge augmentation, and alar base reduction. The cost is 50-70% less than in the US while using the same materials and techniques.
Double Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
双眼皮手术
Double eyelid surgery is the most commonly performed cosmetic procedure in Asia, and Chinese surgeons have unparalleled experience with this technique. Options include the incisional method (for more dramatic, permanent results) and the non-incisional buried suture method (minimal downtime, subtle enhancement). Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital and major cosmetic surgery centers across China offer both approaches at 70-80% less than US prices.
Hair Transplant (FUE)
FUE毛发移植
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant in China has become increasingly popular among international patients due to competitive pricing and skilled microsurgeons. Chinese clinics use advanced techniques including sapphire blade FUE and robotic-assisted extraction for natural-looking results. The cost per graft is significantly lower than in the US or Europe, making larger transplant sessions more affordable.
Liposuction
吸脂手术
Liposuction in China offers body contouring at 60-70% less than US prices, with techniques including tumescent, VASER (ultrasound-assisted), and water-jet assisted liposuction. Chinese cosmetic surgery centers, particularly in Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou, use the latest equipment and combine liposuction with fat transfer (Brazilian Butt Lift or facial fat grafting) for comprehensive body sculpting results.

China's dermatology and medical aesthetics industry is among the world's largest, with hospitals equipped with the latest fractional CO2, Pico laser, and IPL platforms from Cynosure, Candela, and Lumenis.

China's competitive pricing makes premium breast augmentation accessible without compromising on safety or quality.
Jaw / Facial Contouring
面部轮廓整形
Facial contouring surgery in China encompasses jawline reduction, cheekbone reduction, chin reshaping (genioplasty), and V-line surgery.

Using 3D CT planning and piezoelectric bone-cutting technology, these procedures achieve precise, harmonious facial proportions with minimal tissue trauma.
