Blepharoplasty Cost

The cost of eyelid surgery depends on the problems as well as the complexities of the surgical carving. There are several other additional costs along with the eyelid surgery cost, which the patient needs to incur in order to ensure that the surgery is a complete success.

The total prices for eyelid surgery can be divided into three parts i.e., facility fees, surgeon's fees, and anesthesia fees. The price of each factor varies from patient to patient. For instance, if the surgery is performed for reducing fatty skin, muscles and tissues, the cost of blepharoplasty and its procedure may vary. As a result, it is very difficult to give an average cost for eyelid surgery. Each type of surgery may have different types of cost.

The cost of eyelid plastic surgery is wholly dependent on the purpose of the procedure. Patients, who have puffiness or have droopy eyelids, can enhance their appearance by cosmetic surgery. So when the surgery is performed for cosmetic purposes, the cost is wholly going to be covered by the patient alone because there is no insurance benefit available for cosmetic surgeries. But, when the surgery is performed for medical purpose, insurance companies are liable to bear the cost of eyelid plastic surgery. The blepharoplasty price also depends upon the surgeon who is going to perform the surgery. The blepharoplasty cost also depends upon the nature of the problems i.e., number of eyelids that are affected, and the number and types of surgeries are to be performed.

 

The cost of eyelid plastic surgery can be between from $ 1,700 to $ 7,000. If the blepharoplasty is being performed for the first-time, the upper or the lower eyelid surgery cost about $ 3,500 whereas the upper and the lower surgery can be priced for about $ 5,000. Even for first-time, the Asian double eyelid surgery price can range around $ 3,700.

For the first time, double eyelid surgery for upper eyelid can cost about $ 2,000 to $ 4,000. For double eyelid surgeries, the cost of eyelid plastic surgery can be about $ 5,000. On the other hand, revision of double eyelid surgery cost can range $ 5,000 to $ 8,000.

The average total cost for the surgery of both upper and lower lids is $ 4,000 that includes surgeon fees of $ 2,500; Anesthesiologist fees $ 700 and facility fees $ 800.

Men’s eyelid surgery cost about $ 2,000 or more. Double blepharoplasty price varies from one state to another state; and also depends upon the surgeons. The cost of blepharoplasty apart from including the surgeon’s and anesthetist fees also includes pre-operative photographs, medication before and after operation, assistants and staff fees, and laboratory fees.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the exact cost of the surgery cannot be known beforehand. As already said there are various factors responsible for deciding the exact cost of the surgery. Therefore it is ultimately the surgeon, who is to perform the surgery, who should be able to decide the cost. However, in many cases the estimates of the doctors have also proved to be wrong, in case an unknown complication comes up.
