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 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 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.

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.

Thank you for your question. Blepharoplasty price varies depending the area of skin being addressed. Prices vary and can range from $3,000 and up. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your expectations are. 

Eyelid surgery cost can vary dramatically depending on surgical technique. Yes, upper lids cost differs from lower lids. In our office, we have different quotes for upper and lower, depending on surgical needs. Typically, you are looking at about $3,000-$5,000 per procedure. 

The cost of the procedure will depend on the extent of the surgery desired:  
Upper Eyelid: The youthful upper eyelid is volumized and full without sagging or having "crepe" like skin hang over the lash bearing eyelid.  To create a natural and youthful appearing upper eyelid with an upper blepharoplasty the excess skin can be excised and, importantly, the underlying muscles can be tightened thereby having a volumized and toned appearance without being "hollowed out." 
Lower Eyelid: The youthful lower eyelid does not have bags or tear trough hollows causing dark circles under the bags.  Removing all of the fat bags from underneath the eyes can lead to a "sunken" or hollowed appearance of the lower eyelid with return of the dark circles shortly after surgery.  Transposing the fat bags, or moving the fat bags into the hollows to fill them can create the youthful contour of a volumized and smooth lower eyelid to cheek junction.
  In southern California you can expect to pay between 2,500-4000$ for either the upper or lower lids.  

Most upper eyelid surgery can be performed under local anaesthetic in the office, costing about $3900. Pinch (skin only) lower blepharoplasty performed under local anaesthetic is a similar price. Lower blepharoplasty involving fat removal requires a general anaesthetic, with the total cost including anaesthetist and theatre fees about $6900. Cost of upper & lower blepharoplasty combined under  general anaesthetic is $12000.

The cost of upper or lower eyelid blepharoplasty will depend on various factors. Two factors are your geographic region and the level of training and specialty of your doctor. 
Choosing the right doctor is extremely important. Make sure to find an ASOPRS trained Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon who is an expert in eyelid surgery. I have performed many revision surgeries and avoiding the need for that is best. 

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.
