Asian Eyelid Surgery: You get what you pay for
I have heard prices ranging from $1500 to $4,000. I do charge a little more for my Asian eyelid cases since I'm a specialist but not significantly more than I do for a non-Asian bleph. The skill, knowledge of anatomical differences, and experience are very important.
Additionally, nearly 30% of my practice is revision or redo surgeries from overseas. Now that is not to say that surgeons in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, etc. aren't excellent. They are, but there is...

Also, whether your surgery can be performed in the office versus an operating room makes a difference in the overall price of the...

Asian Blepharoplasty
As an ophthalmic plastic surgeon, this is a more common procedure for me. I charge roughly $2500 for both eyes. This does not include the facility fee and/or anesthesia. I wrote and/or for anesthesia because in patients over 21, I can do this procedure in the office. The total fee is around 3500-4000.

Asian eyelid surgery it cost more and less
Asian blepharoplasty is the formation or an enhancement of the upper eyelid. It is more complex than a standard blepharolplasty as there are many factors which can potentially result in less than an ideal result. The procedure differs between surgeons but the critical component of the operation is how the the crease is formed. This additional time and precision to an operation which already requires meticulous attention to details. The upper eyelid can be...

Asian eyelid cost
Generally it does cost more than a regular Blephroplasty because it is more technically difficult to perform, and there are diffrences in technique such as more fat on the lid and insertion of the muscles of the eyelid. Upper and Lower would deffinately be priced seperately.
Good Luck!

Asian Eyelid Surgery will generally cost more
Asian eyelid surgery requires significant technical precision, a greater understanding of eyelid anatomy, and an understanding of what constitutes Asian eyelid beauty. These three concepts cannot be over emphacized. Setting the lid and throwing down some sutures to create a fold is not enough. There are extremely important anatomic structures in the Asian eyelid that must be addressed to create the best, most natural outcome. These structures include the orbicularis muscle, the orbital fat...

Asian Blepharoplasty Cost
The procedure to create a "double eyelid" or supratarsal crease is more involved than typical blepharoplasty because:
1) the skills required are more advanced.
2) fewer surgeons are trained to preform this operation.
3) the time it takes is longer than classic upper lid blepharoplasty.
Aside from the cost, make sure you seek a surgeon who is well trained in this area and is able to help you achieve naturally enhancing results.

Asian eyelid double crease formation technically more involved
Asian eyelid double crease formation is technically more involved. General blepharoplasty entails usually taking skin and muscle and sometimes fat. Asian double eyelid crease formation entails deeper dissection, handling more delicate structures, more significant complications and a significant amount of more time to accomplish.
Most surgeons would likely charge more for Asian Blepharoplasty given these parameters. When the upper and lower eyelids are done at the same time, most surgeons,...

Asian eyelid surgery is a specialty
Few doctors do asian eyelid surgery and even fewer do it well. Therefore, you might expect to pay slightly more for asian eyelid surgery. (Asian eyelid surgery is a special procedure on the upper eyelids done to create a crease, or raise the crease, in an asian individual).
If you have both upper and lower eyelids done at the same time, we offer a discount on the second procedure so you pay less (compared to doing the upper eyelids and lower eyelids separately).
