Total FX Most Extreme Laser Option for Crowsfeet?
Hi, I am contemplating getting TotalFX to treat drooping eyelids and crows feet. I have called a few places and have gotten 8 quotes in the Los Angeles area, ranging from 750 per treatment to 3500 !!

Quotes over the phone are irrelevant
This is really not the best way to shop for your cosmetic medical or surgical needs. You need to schedule in person consultations with highly qualified physicians with extensive experience in the full range of facial rejuvenation skills and technologies to provide you with options and costs relevant to you.

I agree with Dr Ishoo
So much of what goes into what cosmetic surgery costs depends upon what need to be done for the specific problem. One office may have quoted $750 just to laser around the eyes with local anesthesia, another $3500 to do anesthesia and a full face laser. You need to actually go to a qualified surgeon and express your concerns and then they can give you a more realistic quote based upon what you need to accomplish.
Hope this helps,
