How much does a blepharoplasty cost? Are the prices different for blepharoplasty on the upper eyelids vs. the lower eyelids?
Answer: 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.

Answer: Blepharoplasty cost The cost of a procedure can vary depending on geographic location and where you decide to have it done, office vs. surgery center. Upper lids tend to be a little less expensive than lower lids because lower blepharoplasty is a more complex procedure. Just upper lids with anesthesia is around $4,000. Lowers $5,000. Upper and lower $8,000.

Answer: Eyelid Surgery Cost is Important; But Skill, Safety and Results Demand More Attention
Never discount your face! While price is a very important factor in making a decision on any cosmetic procedure or surgery, it should never be the most important. Going to someone just because they charge less may cost you more in the long run, especially if you need a revision.
The more important questions are:
Is the doctor board certified in a field to perform this procedure?
Is the procedure performed in a sterile environment; an operating room or an examination room?
Is the doctor performing the anesthesia or is there an anesthesiologist?
Can I review the doctor's before and after pictures?
Can I reach the doctor, AT ALL HOURS, it there is something unexpected?
Once you have these answers, then financial questions come.
I perform eyelid surgery in a sterile certified operating room with a Board certified anesthesiologist to keep you safe and comfortable. I use a laser and not a scalpel blade. The advantage of the laser is that it helps to stop bleeding as it contours the skin and fat. The laser can also be used to tighten the excess skin. This allows me to perform No Stitch, No Scalpel, No Skin Incision lower eyelid surgery. My charges are ALL INCLUSIVE and run between $3000- $4000.

Answer: Eyelid Surgery Cost This is an excellent question! The price you are quoted will vary widely based on the region and what type of surgery you are having. There is a spectrum of eyelid surgery from skin-only excision to fat excision to fat transfer with brow lifting. You also have to factor in whether this is done awake in the office (often cheaper) or in the OR with Anesthesia (typically more expensive). In my area, the Midwest, this will range from $1500-$8000 based on the aforementioned factors. Many providers may also offer discounts for use of photos after surgery which can lower cost if offered. Hope this helps!Kyle Kimura, MDFacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Answer: Wide range There is a wide range of cost/fee due to the condition of the patient and the procedures involved. Surgery can cost all different from street to street, even blocks to blocks in the same city, depending on the surgeon's reputation, skill and experiences. In New York city, I would say it ranges from 2000 to 7000 dollars.

Answer: The cost of eyelid surgery depends on who's doing the work and what needs to be done The cost of any cosmetic procedure depends on the city you live in and the expertise of the person who is doing the work. For example in Canada, there may be several thousand general plastic surgeons and only several hundred facial plastic surgeons. Oculoplastic surgery is a subspecialty area that only deals with plastic and reconstructive surgery of the eyelids. In Canada, we only have about 50 oculoplastic surgeons, of which only about handful do cosmetic eyelid surgery regularly. For example, over the course of a typical week, a busy cosmetic oculoplastic surgeon may do 5-10 blepharoplasty surgeries per week, compared to someone who doesn't specialize in eyelid surgery may do blepharoplasty surgery 2 to 3 times per month. The more of a particular type of surgery you do, the better you get at the nuances of that surgery and obtaining consistent results (it doesn't matter what type of surgery we are referring to). In general lower blepharoplasty surgery is more expensive than upper blepharoplasty because it is technically more difficult and much more nuanced. There are lost of options for lower blepharoplasty: external vs internal techniques, fat removal vs fat repositioning vs fat grafting, co2 laser resurfacing vs skin pinch, canthopexy vs no canthopexy, etc. In Toronto, the cost for upper blepharoplasty ranges from 4000$-6000$ compared to the cost for lower lid blepharoplasty which can range from 5000$-7000$
