How Much Does Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty Surgery Cost for Me? (photo)

Hi MrsHoop,

 

 In patients under 20 years old such as yourself, I would advise using Restylane filler to correct the hollows under your eyes.  The treatment ranges from $500 to $1,000 depending on how much filler is needed, and whom you choose as your injecting physician. Restylane injections under the eye last much longer than filler in other areas as there is very little movement in this area.  Most patients have improvement for over 18 months while many continue to be happy for many years. This is a most delicate and unforgiving area so do choose your injecting physician most carefully. 

 

Transconjuntival blepharoplasty or bleph with transpositioning of the lower lid fat can be surgically performed, but in past few years many experts have preferred using filler over surgery.  Removing fat results in volume loss, and fat transpositioning has the potential for lumps and bumps under the eyes. The cost of surgery ranges from $5,000 to $10,000.

 Good luck and be well.

Because blepharoplasty is such a varied procedure, the cost also varies. Factors which contribute to the cost of eyelid surgery include:Type and extent of surgerySurgeon’s feeFacility feeAnesthesia feeMedicationFor approximate costs by location , search Real Self, American Society of Plastic Surgeons, or American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and Oculoplastic surgery websites.

Pricing varies greatly depending on the surgeon and city in which they operate, as well as other factors. It's better to first find out which surgeon you'd like to have perform your surgery, then ask how much they charge. This way quality is your governing factor. In Toronto, blepharoplasty can range from $4500 to $7000, with the lower range referring to the upper or lower eyelids only.  However, at your age blepharoplasty may not be the most effective solution to resolve your concern. You should see a surgeon to determine whether the procedure can help you, as your dark circles may be caused by something else. Best of luck.
