Generally, it is better to perform such surgery before the age of 2-3. The cost of the surgery plus hospitalization fees is approximately around 10,000 yuan, and specific details can be consulted with the surgical hospital and doctors.Advice: The usual recovery period is about 12 days for suture removal.
