An in person evaluation is really necessary to evaluate what needs to be done--ie, fat removal, skin removal, laser resurfacing. These will affect the price of the procedure.

A lower lid bleph will not eliminate the wrinkles.  If you have extra skin, some of that can be removed, and the area should look smoother.  You may need other procedures as well - and these may be done with or without surgery, such as Botox, fillers or fat, and laser resurfacing.  Find someone who can offer a variety of procedures.  But remember that nothing will eliminate all the wrinkles.

Before you go out and prescribe yourself lower eyelid surgery, you want to be pretty sure that this is actually what you need.  Be aware that many minor issues for the lower eyelid can be profoundly helped with non-surgical methods.  On this website you will find approximate prices for procedures.  Please recognize that a price does not mean that you need a given procedure.  Find the right cosmetic surgeon who makes sense and knows their business.  Be open to non-surgical approaches because these are often better than surgery for many issues.

The cost of lower eyelid surgery is directly related to the amount of time it takes to perform the procedure in an operating room,  the amount of time under anesthesia monitored by an anesthesiologist, and the surgeon's professional fee for performing the procedure. The primary goal of lower eyelid surgery  is to remove the fatty deposits causing  the puffy look. The secondary or minor goal is to remove excess skin at rest, not  when smiling.

Hi, as prior answers indicate you might not need surgery for wrinkles under your eyes. Lower eyelid surgery or Blepharoplasty is indicated to adjust fat excess in the lower lid and generally costs USD 2250 onwards at my Mumbai,  India clinic. We would have to do a few Skype consultations before we decided on what the plan was. warm regards Dr Prashant Murugkar

Photographs would be helpful. You may benefit from an in person consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

This is a difficult question to answer without examining you.  You may not be a good candidate for lower eyelid surgery, or another treatment may benefit you more.  Other factors with cost include what kind of anesthesia you would need (local vs general) and where the surgery may take place.  This is best answered by a surgeon in your area.

The cost of lower eyelid surgery (or lower eyelid blepharoplasty) ranges based on location, technique, and expertise of your surgeon. Some surgeons such as oculoplastic surgeons specialize in surgery of the eyelids.

Edwin Ishoo, MD · Answer

Cost of cosmetic surgery depends on your location, your general health, the extent of problem being corrected, your general health, need for general anesthesia,your surgeon and the facility. It can range from $2500-$5000. It would be best if you consulted local Occuloplastic, facial plastic or general plastic surgeons for consultation.
