How Much Does Eyelid Surgery Cost?

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.

The
cost of an eyelid surgery can vary depending on whether you have upper, lower
or both eyelids done. There are some
important questions to ask as you should not base your decision about where to
have surgery only on price.

It is important to
ask the right questions during your consultation:1.Is
your surgeon a board certified plastic surgeon?a.Be
sure he or she is a plastic surgeon, there are a lot surgeons that are cosmetic
surgeons or board certified in other fields other than plastic surgery. They do not do the same training as a plastic
surgeon. b.You
can check the American Board of Plastic Surgery website for a list of plastic
surgeons in your area. 2.Does your surgeon commonly
perform this procedure?a.Ask to see before and after
pictures or look online for reviews on the procedure.



3.Where is the surgery performeda.Is the procedure performed in an
accredited surgery center or hospital?



4.Who performs the anesthesia for
the procedure?a.Is an anesthesiologist performing
the anesthesia?



I hope this helps. 

Upper eyelid surgery with everything included that is surgery center and anesthesia starts at $800 to $1800 depending on complexity.  Lower lids with more advanced no scar techniques and quick recovery with all included surgery OR recover anesthesia etc is $2500 to $3500

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. 

Thank you for your question.  There are many factors which determine price.  These include the need for fat grafting, the amount of skin removed, the need for brow suspension or the need to re-anchor the attachments of the eyelid.  In general procedures for the lower eyelid are of significant more recovery and involve much more extensive expertise than the upper eyelid.  If a surgeon is experience (and fellowship trained in oculoplastic surgery), I would expect a full lower eyelid procedure to be from $4000 to $6000.  Upper lids may range from $2500 to $4000.

Cost may vary depending upon geographic area and experience of the surgeon.  Generally, eyelid surgery cost is around 2500-3000 for either upper or lower eyelids and around 4000-4500 for both.

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.

 

 

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.

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.

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$-7000$

This is a great question. Sagging eyelids can be corrected with blepharoplasty or cosmetic eyelid surgery of either the upper or lower eyelids. It is one of the first cosmetic surgeries people usually get. While the average age might be 30 to 50's, some patients get this done in their 20s. It really depends on your genetic makeup and anatomy in addition to what exactly is bothering you. 
A lot of surgeons hate answering the cost question because there are a wide variety of surgical and nonsurgical options and combination procedures. The prices also vary widely depending on what part of the country you're from. The usual range is anywhere from $4,000 -$10,000 for board-certified plastic surgeons.
An upper blepharoplasty in our office is $4,000.  Our price includes all surgical fees, private transportation, 3 scar laser treatments after surgery, and post op massage therapies to help you heal quicker and optimally.
More definitive pricing can be provided after a private consultation in our office.
