I was born this way. I was wondering if eyelid surgery would be cheaper, since I only want my left eyelid fixed? What kind of anesthesia would I need?
Answer: Ptosis This is a great question, because ptosis is quite common. There are multiple factors that can cause it, but 3 surgical procedures to correct it. Ptosis can be left alone or repaired. When the ptosis is significant enough to impair the vision, insurance companies pick up the cost. Otherwise, patients pay out of pocket. The cost varies from doctor to doctor. When in doubt, patients with droopy lids should see an oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation and treatment plan.

Answer: Eyelid surgery cost for just one droopy lid The Photograph demonstrates ptosis one eyelid, so it's best to check in with an ocular plastic surgeon for repair of this. It is significant enough, this can be billed to your medical insurance for medical necessity. Cosmetic eye surgery will not improve this.

Answer: Ptosis or Drooping eyelids If you have had the problem for many years this may be something that is congenital. Drooping of the eyelids are treated with either a procedure that is done under the eyelid or an incision on the outer eyelid as there are two muscles that lift the eyelid.

Answer: Eyelid ptosis repair in the office with local anesthesia about $1k There are a few different things that cause eyelid droopiness (ptosis) and basically 3 ways to fix it. About 90% of my patients can have the eyelid droopiness repaired by tightening the muscle through an incision on the underside of the eyelid (hence no visible scars).
