In my Baltimore Cosmetic Surgery Facility, Blepharoplasty (eyelid) surgery can be performed with just local anesthesia or under IV-sedation (twilight sleep) with local anesthesia.
Local anesthesia
• upper eyes only - $1,850
• lower lids - $2,150
• upper and lower lids - $3,350
IV-sedation (twilight)
• upper eyes only - $2,700
• lower lids - $3,000
• upper and lower lids - $4,675

Hello, the cost of lower eyelid surgery ranges from about $2,200 to $4,500 depending on how much you're having done. I break it down like this:
Just skin/minimal fat: $2,400-$2,600
Skin/significant fat removal or fat relocation: $2,600 - $3,200
Skin/fat work/ and a lid shortening (tightening) procedure: $2,800 - $4,000
I find that anesthesia fees are unnessicary as local anesthesia works great and the patients do wonderfully.
Hope that helps.

NEVER DISCOUNT YOUR FACE! It is dangerous to shop for cosmetic surgery by price alone. Eyelid surgery is intricate. There are many factors that go into determining price but your first concerns should be experience and results. It is much more costly to repair the eyelids the second time around so choose wisely the first time. Questions to ask:1)Who is performing the surgery? 2)What is the board certification in? 3)Fellowship training?
4)How many of these procedures has the cosmetic surgeon performed? 5)Can I see YOUR patients' before and after picture? 6)Do you perform the procedure in an Operating room that is accredited?7)Is there an anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist performing the anesthesia?8)Do you use a laser or a scalpel blade? 9) Do you make a skin incision or remove the fat from the inside of the eyelid? 10) Do you tighten the skin by removing it or using a laser?11) What are the benefits, risks and alternatives of the procedure.
These are just a few of the questions you need an answer to make an informed decision.
As an Ocular Plastic Surgeon my training is specialized to treat eyelid disorders. Where other physicians may spend a few days in their training working around the eyelids. Ocular Plastic Surgeons spend a minimum of 4 years working on the eye and eyelids and surround tissues. I perform laser blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)transconjunctival ( from the inside of the lid). I tighten the skin with the same CO2 laser. I only perform the procedure in an accredited Operating room with a anesthesiologist for your comfort, safety and sterility.
Good Luck!

Blepharoplasty varies depending on the concern being addressed. It can
be as simple as pinching out a small amount of skin or as complex as
reconstructing the support to the lower lid to prevent eversion from the
tightening. Lower lid
surgery commonly involves fat repositioning and in most cases is more
complex than upper lid surgery.
Finally, the cost will depend on the type of anesthesia involved. If
it is performed under local or oral sedation, you will likely not have
to pay for the service of an anesthesiologist. If it is under general,
this will increase the price. My surgeon's fee is generally $2000 to
$4000 depending on the complexity of the case.
The cost of the eyelid cosmetic surgery is driven by 3 components: These are surgeons fee, anesthesia doctor's fee, and the operating room fee . Every plastic surgery office will have different charges. Lower eyelid lift surgery is very intricate and delicate and it's best to go to a surgeon who is very experienced in eyelid surgery. Shop quality, not price. For many examples of eyelid surgery and our price list, please see the link below

My patients generally will prefer going under a general anesthetic for comfort. I usually would recommend this. The cost relates to the requirements for each patient.
All of the following are considerations:
Skin Removal
Fat Removal with or without transposition
Lower Eyelid tightening
Fat Auto Grafting and Injection
Tear Trough Implantation
Muscle Suspension
Skin Resurfacing with Lasers or Chemical Peels
The range for the above for total cost would generally run anywhere from $2400 to $5000 depending on the services required.
Unfortunately, every situation is so unique that it is very difficult to generalize.

Cost of surgery varies between surgeons. The total cost will be determined by surgeon fees, anesthesia, facility fees, and type of lower eyelid surgery. There are many variations of the technique and I prefer fat transposition blepharoplasty. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

The cost of a lower eyelid lift is $2150 to $2400 with local anesthesia. Add $350 for IV sedation. Most people have it done under local with mild sedation, such as a Valium or Ativan.
The cost of both upper and lower eyelid surgery is $3900 under local anesthesia.
The cost of a lower lid blepharoplasty varies significantly depending on a multitude of variables. It’s important to understand these variables and how they contribute to any fee quote you are given. It’s important to make sure the fee quite includes the surgeon’s fee, facility fee, anesthesia charges and pre and post-operative care.
Generally, surgeons who operate in dedicated outpatient cosmetic surgery facilities are able to offer lower facility fees than those who operate in hospital based practices. The surgeon’s fee can vary as well depending on regional differences and levels of local competition. Anesthesia fees can vary and this may be related to the use of a nurse anesthetist verses a physician anesthesiologist. Also the type of anesthesia may contribute to fee differences. General anesthesia is more expensive then local anesthesia.
When all of these variables are considered, fees in the Midwestern United States for lower lid blepharoplasty range from $3,000 to $3,500. These fees include general anesthesia. It’s important to realize that although price is an important component of your decision, it’s not the only consideration. It’s also important to be comfortable with your surgeons experience and reputation.
The cost of my lower eyelid transconjunctival bleparoplasty runs between 2800-3400 including IV sedation and the in-office operating suite. The lower end of the spectrum would be without concomitant laser resurfacing of the eyelid skin. It normally takes 35-40 minutes in total. Fees vary region to region and make certain your doctor performs these routinely and shows you before and after photos.
