Is $3,200 a reasonable price for ptosis repair?

Question

I got a ptosis repair for my right eye with a surgeon. Just wondering, is 3200$ a reasonable price for this type of surgery?

At the end of the day, are you looking for the best price or the right surgery?  These services are not generic.  One ptosis surgery is not like every other ptosis surgery.  Get the wrong surgery or have a complication and whatever money you saved by finding the lowest price will not feel it was worth the money saved.  Repairing or revising ptosis surgery is extremely complicated and not always possible.  These surgeries use up essential resources which is why it is critical to have the work done right the first time even if you have to spend more money.  Make sure you know that your surgeon is qualified to do your work and has the right training and results to warrant your confidence.

Patrick Simon, MD · Answer

For a cash price that is reasonable.  Ptosis surgery can also be covered by insurance.  I would recommend having your visual fields tested by an Ophthamologist.  If the fields are restricted by your ptotic eyelids, then most insurance companies will pick up the tab.
