How much does a blepharoplasty cost? Are the prices different for blepharoplasty on the upper eyelids vs. the lower eyelids?
In New York City, the surgeon's fee for upper blepharoplasty can vary from $2500 to $4000. The fee for lower blepharoplasty is slightly higher. The costs for the anesthesiologist and surgical facility can be additional unless the procedure is performed under local anesthesia in a surgeon's office. Most surgeons offer a discount when both the upper and lower eyelids are treated at the same time.
Stelfro,
Pricing on blepharoplasty surgery will vary widely depending on many factors. The location of the surgeon, the surgeon's expertise, the surgeon's specialty (may be performed by plastic surgeons, oculoplastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, other cosmetic surgeons), the amount of work that needs to be done, can all affect the price.
Generally, most surgeons price upper and lower eyelids similarly and a discount is usually built in for doing both at the same time.
A range for upper lids, taking into account all of these factors, could be as wide as $1500-$6000 or $7000. I suggest obtaining a more narrow range for your geographic by calling around to a few plastic surgeons in your area. Many will give you a range over the phone.
Good luck!
Of all the procedures that you can undertake with a plastic surgeon, the lower eyelids are the riskiest. It is for this reason that eyelid procedures should be performed by those with lots of experience. You will find that the cost is often not related to skill levels.
Many doctors elevate their prices to make them appear more skilled - the emperors new robe. Talk to the doctors - talk to their patients - you will certainly be able to find a good doctor within the average price range.
