Cost of Eyelid Surgery

We perform Upper Eyelid Surgery in our office setting for $2,300. This wonderful procedure can make such a difference in a person's appearance with little downtime. Rejuvenating the eye area can instantly create a more youthful appearance. The lower eyelids are generally performed in our operating room with a light sedation. The cost for lower lids is approximately $3,500. Surgery on the upper and lower lids at the same time costs approximately $5,000. more

In our practice we charge 1,800 for upper or lower eyelids

Blepharoplasty is an extremely meticulous procedure.  Each individual has a unique structural and anatomical attribute.  The goal is to make the eyes look youthful without any sign of surgery. A significant effort is placed on evaluation and marking prior to surgery.

Cost of Blepharoplasty

Like anything else the cost varies based on the surgeon, the problem being treated, and the technique used to treat it. There is less variability with the upper eyelid. On the lower eyelid, sometimes all that needs to be done is skin removal, sometimes just fat removal, other times, fat addition, and other times all three of those maneuvers. The more complex the needs, and the more skilled the surgeon, the more expensive the procedure. Generally, the cost is anywhere for $2500-4,000 for... more

The cost for blepharoplasty will vary from surgeon to surgeon

There are many different techniques available to perform blepharoplasty. More commonly, upper lid blepharoplasty is performed more similarly from surgeon to surgeon. Lower lid blepharoplasty, will vary tremendously. Some surgeons will only perform a transconjunctival blepharoplasty through the inner lower lid to remove fat, some will only remove a 'pinch' of skin from the outer aspect with or without transconjunctival fat removal or redraping. Some will perform fat contouring and skin/muscle... more

Blepharoplasty cost varies

Eyelid surgery costs vary termendously depending on what is done. Furthermore, whenever we analyze a body area for repair we must look at the connecting parts. When it comes to the upper eyelid, we must look at the brow and forehead. Upper lid surgery can address the forehead. When it comes to the lower lid, we must look at the cheeks and midface.

Blepharoplasty costs by a DC oculoplastic surgeon

The cost for an upper or lower blepharoplasty vary by location and practice. In major cities it may be much more than in the middle of nowhere.

Cost for eyelid surgery

Costs vary widely in different geographic regions, between different specialities, and between individual physicians. A patient's individual anatomy also factor into the equation. Anyone contemplating eyelid surgery really should see an oculo-facial surgeon as these specialists have the greatest expertise with this procedure. In my area of Florida, expect to pay $2000-$6500 for eyelid surgery and an additional $2000-$3000 if a browlift is added, inclusive of all costs. more
