Why is there such a difference in cost for blepharoplasty?

Interestingly, some of the people who have paid the most for their blepharoplasty eyelid surgery don't appear as they had surgery at all. And, that's the point, to make the patient look his or her best, but to make the result look natural.

I spend a lot of time seeing patients with 'overdone" blepharoplasties that have left them hollow below the eye or on the eyelid. This can often be corrected. I often use fat grafting to fill inn hollows around eyes.

But, it is far better and typically less expensive to get it done right the first time. The most expensisve doctor may or may not be the best, but the lowest priced doc, offering a special or limited time offer is almost certainly not the person you want to trust with your eyes.

Take your time, do your homework, read a lot of websites and look  at a lot of photos photos should always have a consistent backgroud, facial expression, distance from camera and there should be a minimum of three positions of each photo. You should be able to view a lot of photos and you should be able to speak to former patients.

Expertly performed blepharoplasty on   the right person results in a person you looks youngerm brighter and more attractive who appears to have more energy and vitality. Blepharoplasty gone wrong can make a person look older than their years by removing too much fat from the eye area.

Take your time selecting a physician to perform blepharoplsty.
