Blepharoplasty Cost is one of the most important factors in deciding whether undergo the procedure. Blepharoplasty plastic surgery comprises three costs: anesthesia fees, facility fees and surgeon fee Blepharoplasty can be done for a relatively low cost in comparison to other major forms of cosmetic surgery.

Blepharoplasty Prices around $4,000, though some doctors may charge as low as $2,000 and others as much as $7,000. In 2007, the national average for plastic surgeon fees for blepharoplasty was $2,480, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Some of the cost can be covered by insurance if the blepharoplasty is related to ptosis or other medical necessity. Be sure to ask your surgeon about filing for insurance.Blepharoplasty for purely cosmetic reasons is not covered.

Blepharoplasty Surgery Costs are usually about $500 for a single procedure (upper or lower eyelids) and can reach between $800 and $1,000 for dual procedures (upper and lower eyelids). It should be noted that eyelid surgery is an outpatient procedure, and hence the surgical suite fee is kept as low as possible.

       

    Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Eyes are the most expressive features of a female's body. They truly express a female's feelings, emotions and state of mind. Unfortunately, the eye area often shows the earliest signs of ageing, or any other kind of stress that we may be having. One can have visually unattractive features like folds or wrinkles around the eyes, the upper and lower eyelids may develop 'bags' or swelling and puffiness. Such droopy eyelids give a tired haggard appearance and make you look several years older than your actual age. The removal of fat deposits, muscle and excess skin around the upper and lower lids can dramatically change your appearance and erase years from your face. Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty can correct sagging eyelids, remove fatty pouches beneath the eyes and remove excess skin from the upper eyelids. Blepharoplasty can be done alone or in conjunction with other facial surgery procedures such as a facelift, a brow lift or laser skin resurfacing. What can I expect from the Blepharoplasty/ Eye Lid Surgery? An eyelid surgery refreshes and rejuvenates the looks by eliminating certain features that contribute to make one look older and tired, such as the 'bags' beneath the eyes and the excess skin in the 'drooping' upper eyelids. The surgery eliminates the excess or loose skin of the upper lid hanging down and obscuring the natural fold of the upper lid and sometimes getting in the field of vision. Blepharoplasty removes the loose, wrinkled skin or bags of fat that protrude under the skin that add years to the face or give it a depressed look in the lower eye. It eliminates lumps generated by the accumulation of fat inside the eyelids. Blepharoplasty removes puffy upper lids that give a tired, or Oriental look to the eyes. What should I not expect from the Eye Lid Surgery? It does not eliminate crow's feet. It does not eliminate dark circles under the eyes. It does not lift the eyebrows nor does it change their shape. If you think your eyebrows are too low or too straight, please read the information on brow lift surgery that we provide. Am I a good candidate for the blepharoplasty? If you have healthy facial tissue and muscles around eyes and don't have any serious eye conditions, physically healthy, emotionally stable, you may be a good candidate for the surgery. How is the Blepharoplasty or Eyelid Surgery performed? Eyelid Surgery is performed under local anesthesia with intravenous sedation if being performed as a separate procedure, but General anesthesia is used if it is a part of a longer procedure like a face lift. Depending on the number of eyelids getting done, Eyelid Surgery may take any where from 2 - 4 hours. An incision is made below the eyelashes in lower lid and along the creases of upper eyelid by the surgeon. These incisions may extend to the outer corner of the eyes. The skin of the eyelid from the underlying fat and muscle is dissected and separated, remove excessive fat and trim away excessive sagging skin and tighten the eye muscle. The incision is then closed with very fine sutures so that it results in minimal scarring after Eyelid Surgery. A trans-conjunctival approach for Eyelid Surgery or Blepharoplasty may be used so that no external incision needs to be made. How long is the recovery period and when can I resume my activities after the eye lid surgery? You will spend the first few hours after Eyelid Surgery in the recovery room under observation to watch for any post-operative complications. a cold, wet pack over the eyes is placed to minimize bleeding and swelling. This process must continue at home after the discharge. You will be allowed to go home the same or the next day following your Eyelid Surgery. You will be able to return back to your daily activities in about 2 weeks following the Surgery. You should avoid physically strenuous activities like playing sports, bending and lifting heavy objects for about 2 weeks following the Eyelid Surgery. Keep your head elevated and apply cold compresses to minimize swelling after Eyelid Surgery. The physician will also prescribe some eye drops to lubricate your eyes and prevent burning and itching. Do not wear contact lenses for the next couple of days after your Eyelid Surgery as it may be uncomfortable. What can I expect after the surgery? Swelling and bruising around the eyes, and sometimes in the eye itself is normal, and will resolve by itself in about 2 weeks. The eyes may water. In the early post-operative period, some asymmetry may be apparent due to unequal swelling. What is the outcome of the surgery? The outcome of Eyelid Surgery is excellent.
