Classic Blepharoplasty

Best of luck!

Price can vary greatly
I agree. Price can vary greatly depending on the surgeon, the facility, the city and the complexity of the operation. You could be looking at anywhere between $5000 to upwards of $20,000. It is best to go in for a consultation to make sure that you are an appropriate candidate for surgery and inquire about pricing. Good luck.

Like most surgeries, wide variation
Sounds like you have been researching quite a bit about eyelid surgery. I think it would be best to have several consults with experienced eyelid surgeons and discuss your options and listen to the recommendations of each. Cost can vary widely, even in the same city.
