Lower eyelid surgery cost
Morning Martha,
Lower eyelid surgery can cost anywhere from $2,800 to $3,500 depending on what you need done and whether you want sedation. You don't need general anesthesia. I do all mine under local and the patients do great.

Location matters
Generally speaking, $2500-4000 is the range of cost for lower eyelid surgery. Cost will vary depending on where it is performed [hospital, ambulatory surgery center, in-office], the type of anesthesia [ local, light sedation, deep sedation, or general], and who performs the surgery [reputation, etc].
Geography also plays a role. Surgery in NYC and Beverly Hills maybe much more costly than in Montana or Idaho.
Best of luck

Lower eyelid surgery
There will always be a cost range when considering lower eyelid surgery. There are different levels of complexity when considering lower eyelid surgery and a personal consultation would be needed to evaluate your own anatomy. Things to consider are the tone of the lower eyelid itself and any degree of laxity. Also to be evaluated are the quality of your skin and degree of excess fat.

Cost for lower eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)?
Dear Martha, Cost is an important consideration but should not be paramount. I agree with my colleagues that a price range from $2500 - 5000 can be expected depending upon your town and where your surgeon operates (office vs. surgery center vs. hospital). Your primary concern should be finding a plastic surgeon you trust with plenty of pre- and post-procedure photos. Only then should cost enter into your decision. We have seen too many revision surgery patients who chose a surgeon to save...
