There are several factors in determining the cost of Asian eyelid blepharoplasty. 1) Local anesthesia vs. IV sedation2) Surgery performed in office setting vs. surgical center3) Where in the country you are having the surgery4) Is the surgery being performed by an oculoplastic surgeon (eyelid specialist)Oculoplastic surgeons in NY typically charge $3,000-5,000 for Asian eyelid blepharoplasty.I hope you find this useful.

In my practice I charge the same for Asian eyelid surgery as for Caucasians.  You definitely do want to go to a surgeon who has done many Asian eyelid lifts and who is comfortable with the procedure.  Most Asians do not want their ethnicity to change and want the result to look natural.

Thanks for the great question. The cost for an "Asian blepharoplasty" or "double eyelid surgery" will vary based on the part of the country you are in and the training of the specialist.  Generally, this is between $2500 and $4000 in the San Francisco Bay Area.  The procedure, when done well, produces excellent aesthetic results with minimal downtime. It can be performed with local anesthesia in the office, or in a surgery center, depending on patient preference.

Asian eyelid surgery requires significant technical precision, a greater understanding of eyelid anatomy, and an understanding of what constitutes Asian eyelid beauty. These three concepts cannot be over emphacized. Setting the lid and throwing down some sutures to create a fold is not enough. There are extremely important anatomic structures in the Asian eyelid that must be addressed to create the best, most natural outcome. These structures include the orbicularis muscle, the orbital fat, the orbital septum, the levator muscle, and the tarsus. All of these structures work together and need to be precisely addressed. Because of the additional techniques and sutures required to perform Asian eyelid surgery, it will cost more.
