Cost will vary depending on many factors.... first of all it differs depending on if a board certified plastic surgeon is performing the surgery or not.

Good Afternoon, I perform upper and lower blepharoplastys in my office quite often.  Depending upon the situation, upper eyelid surgery can be done under local anesthesia.  I offer free consultations.  Prices begin at $2500 and increase from there.  I am located in the suburbs of Chicago.

Upper eyelid surgery can be safely performed under a local anesthesia which makes the procedure very affordable. The fee for a Blepharoplasty at The Sullivan Centre is Columbus, Ohio is about $2200.00.

My charge for upper blepharoplasty under local anesthesia is $2500.  My patients spend approximately 2 hours at our center which includes the surgery and the period of post operative recovery with icing of the eyelids before going home.  Local anesthesia is a safe and effective way to perform upper blepharoplasty and has been my preferred method for years. 

I perform the surgery in my office and it is in the 2000 dollar range depending on what is being done. I would say it depends on the overhead in the area that it is being done. Boston vs NYC vs Idaho.

I think that the upper eyelids are perfect for having surgery under local anesthesia. The procedure takes between 30 to 60 minutes. Local anesthesia is very effective and safe when performing upper blepharoplasty. The surgery cost in NYC is between $2500 to $4000. I imagine that Boston prices are in a similar range.

Hi Sunset, Upper eye lid surgery in the office under local anesthesia saves patients the cost of the operating room and anesthesiology fees. Depending on the surgeon and the geographic location, the cost is 30 to 50% less than the cost of the procedure in an operating room under anesthesia. It is an excellent in office procedure that is very well tolerated. The hour procedure takes years off of one's appearance. The sutures are removed at 4 to 5 days following the surgery, and the... more

Upper eyelid surgery can be covered by insurance. Although most eyelid surgery is cosmetic, it is not uncommon for people to have an excess of skin that can effect their vision. If that is the case, the procedure is considered functional and not cosmetic. What dictates this is an exam called a Visual Field Test, which is most commonly performed by ophthalmologists. You might start by talking with your eye doctor as it could save you quite a bit of money. Hope this helps....
