Double Eyelid Surgery (Upper Blepharoplasty) in Ho Chi Minh City: 8 Licensed Clinics — A Checklist for Your Own Verification

If you are looking for a place to get double eyelid surgery in Ho Chi Minh City, the short answer is: choose a facility with an operating license for medical examination and treatment issued by the Ministry of Health or the Department of Health, an operating surgeon who holds a practice certificate in the appropriate specialty, a published address that matches the address on the license, and verify all three of these details on the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health portal before booking an appointment. This article lists 8 facilities in Ho Chi Minh City that perform eyelid surgery and publish their operating license numbers on their own websites, along with a cross-check table for your own verification — the order in the list is not a ranking, and BonBoz Clinic is one of those 8 facilities.

Why must "reputation" begin with a license, not advertising claims?

Double eyelid surgery is a surgical procedure, even if the incision is only a few centimeters long and typically performed under local anesthesia. Under the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment and Decree 96/2023/ND-CP, facilities performing cosmetic surgery must hold an operating license with an appropriate scope of practice, and the operating surgeon must hold a practice certificate. Spas and beauty salons registered only for general beauty care services are not permitted to perform surgery, including procedures commonly referred to by gentle names such as "eyelid stitching" or "suture double eyelid technique."

The question of "where to get reputable double eyelid surgery" can be partially answered with verifiable facts rather than subjective impressions: does the facility have a license number, can that number be looked up, does the verified address match the location you plan to visit, and what is the operating surgeon's name and practice certificate number? The rest — surgical skill, aesthetic sensibility, and postoperative care — should be evaluated only after you have filtered out facilities that fail this factual screening.

The eyelid area has a specific characteristic that makes this verification step more critical than in many other areas: eyelid tissue is extremely thin with very low surgical tolerance; under-resection yields no noticeable difference, while over-resection is difficult to correct. Whether the surgeon has received formal specialty training is something you can verify via their practice certificate number before getting onto the operating table, rather than discovering after the bandages are removed.

Three steps to verify a facility before booking an appointment

Step 1 — Look up the operating license number on the Department of Health portal

The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health operates an Information Lookup Portal at thongtin.medinet.org.vn with three sections: *Medical Practitioners*, *Medical Examination and Treatment Facilities*, and *Aesthetic Facilities*. Enter the facility name or license number to check whether the facility is licensed and what its approved scope of practice includes. Facilities licensed by the Department of Health (with license numbers formatted as `…/HCM-GPHĐ` or `…/SYT-GPHĐ`) can be searched directly on this portal. Facilities licensed by the Ministry of Health (typically hospitals, formatted as `…/BYT-GPHĐ`) do not currently have an equivalent public search portal; to verify, request to see their physical license certificate (medical facilities are legally required to publicly display their license on-site) or call the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health hotline at 096 777 1010 for verification guidance.

Step 2 — Cross-check the address

The address on the license must match the physical address you are visiting. Some facilities have multiple branches; each branch performing surgery must hold its own distinct license for that exact location. If a website claims a "multi-branch system" but only publishes a single license number, ask directly which license number covers the specific branch you plan to visit. Additionally, note that as of mid-2025, ward names in Ho Chi Minh City were restructured following administrative mergers; many websites still display older district and ward names. The street number and street name are the key elements that must match.

Step 3 — Ask for the name and practice certificate number of the operating surgeon

The consultant and the operating surgeon may be different individuals. Ask: *who will directly perform my surgery, and what is their practice certificate number?* Practice certificate numbers can be looked up under the *Medical Practitioners* section of the Department of Health portal. A transparent facility will answer immediately; reluctance to answer this question is a red flag. For double eyelid surgery, you should ask one additional question: is the doctor who measures and marks the eyelid crease before surgery the exact same person holding the scalpel?

Comparison table of 8 double eyelid surgery facilities in HCMC with published licenses

The data below was collected directly from each facility's website on September 2, 2026 (specifically from footers or contact pages where facilities typically display license numbers). This article records only what each facility publicly states; it does not assess clinical skill, provide rankings, or compare outcomes. Before booking, you should verify the details on the Department of Health portal, as licensing information may change.

Notes on reading the table: "Hospital" and "Specialized Clinic" represent two different licensing categories based on institutional scale, not a hierarchy of quality for an individual double eyelid procedure. The majority of double eyelid surgeries, suture techniques, and orbital fat removals are performed under local anesthesia and fall fully within the approved scope of licensed cosmetic surgery clinics. The deciding factors remain the specific operating surgeon and the pre-, intra-, and postoperative protocols of the chosen facility.

Reference price range for double eyelid surgery in HCMC

The comparison table above records only the licenses published by the facilities — not pricing, as each provider publishes pricing differently and this article cannot independently verify pricing across third-party facilities with certainty. Below is the publicly disclosed price range at BonBoz, provided as a concrete baseline rather than word-of-mouth estimates.

The above price range is for reference only and does not constitute a formal quote. The final cost depends on the patient's anatomical condition, surgical technique, and clinical materials indicated following a direct medical consultation. For other facilities in the table, you should ask three direct questions: what is included in the quote, how follow-up visits and complication management are billed, and whether a formal written quote is provided prior to the procedure.

The physician who directly examines and operates is Dr. Nguyen Xuan Vu, Specialist Level II, MSc, Medical Director of the clinic, practice certificate No. 007827/ĐL-CCHN (issued by the Dak Lak Department of Health on December 4, 2017). According to his profile on the Doctor Page, he has over 15 years of experience and more than 20,000 surgical procedures; the doctor directly consults on surgical plans and performs the surgery, never delegating surgical steps to technicians.

According to the Eyelid Surgery / Upper Blepharoplasty page, the service is indicated for individuals with asymmetrical eyelids, lax eyelid skin, excess orbital fat, or absent eyelid creases, performed under local anesthesia. Published periocular procedures include: double eyelid surgery (upper blepharoplasty), suture (non-incisional) double eyelid technique, transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty fat removal, lower eyelid skin excision, fat repositioning, medial and lateral epicanthoplasty, brow lift, and ptosis (drooping eyelid) and levator muscle correction. Operating hours: 08:00–20:00 daily.

BonBoz is a specialized clinic, not a hospital: cases requiring general anesthesia or inpatient monitoring are scheduled and performed at fully accredited partner hospitals — an important distinction to clarify with any clinic.

Why this article does not provide a general pricing table

"Top facility" articles frequently include general pricing tables. This article intentionally omits them for three reasons. First, the cost of double eyelid surgery depends on the chosen technique (suture technique, upper blepharoplasty, lower lid management, brow lift, ptosis correction), existing skin and fat anatomy, and whether revision surgery is required — a generic figure can easily mislead; these factors are analyzed in What Factors Determine the Cost of Double Eyelid Surgery. Second, published prices at facilities fluctuate over time; copying third-party rates here would quickly become outdated. Third, healthcare advertising regulations restrict arbitrary price comparisons and outcome guarantees.

The proper approach is to request a formal written quotation following a direct physician examination, clearly specifying the surgical technique, all included items (medications, follow-up visits, suture removal), and formal invoicing. Any properly licensed facility can provide this.

Self-check checklist: questions to ask before signing

Frequently asked questions

Is double eyelid surgery at a specialized clinic as safe as in a hospital?

Specialized clinics licensed for cosmetic surgery are fully authorized to perform procedures within their approved scope; upper blepharoplasty, suture techniques, and orbital fat removal are routinely performed under local anesthesia within this category. Cases requiring general anesthesia or overnight observation must be conducted in an appropriately equipped hospital. Safety depends on proper case selection and whether the surgeon holds an appropriate specialty practice certificate, rather than solely on the word "hospital" or "clinic" on the signage.

How can I verify if a license number is authentic?

Search the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health portal (thongtin.medinet.org.vn, under *Medical Examination and Treatment Facilities* or *Aesthetic Facilities*) using the license number or facility name. For Ministry of Health licenses (suffix `/BYT-GPHĐ`), ask the facility to present their displayed license certificate or call the HCMC Department of Health hotline at 096 777 1010 for verification support. Both the facility name and physical address must match.

Is the order in this article a ranking?

No. This is a list of 8 facilities with publicly displayed operating licenses on their websites at the time of review, presented in descriptive order. The article does not rank surgical proficiency or compare clinical outcomes between facilities.

Why are there only 8 facilities? Are other locations unlicensed?

No, that conclusion should not be drawn. This list is limited to facilities whose published license numbers were verified on their official websites on September 2, 2026. Many other licensed facilities may not display their license numbers online — for those locations, follow the three verification steps outlined at the beginning of this article.

How long does it take for the crease to look natural, and what precautions are needed?

Swelling and bruising typically subside over the first 1–2 weeks, sutures are removed per the physician's schedule, and the fold requires several weeks to months to soften and appear fully natural depending on individual healing. Detailed dietary precautions, wound hygiene, and recovery guidelines are covered in Post-Eyelid Surgery Dietary Precautions and Timeline and How Long for Eyelids to Look Natural: Recovery Milestones; if you notice residual suture material after stitch removal, consult Retained Sutures After Eyelid Surgery: Risks and Management.
