Upper
eyelid blepharoplasty cost
varies significantly depending on the practitioners and in different anesthetic
settings. Upper eyelid surgery may also
need to be accompanied by brow lift surgery for best results. If you are going
for just upper eyelid surgery, you will be treated under local anesthesia with
costs ranging from $2000-3000 on an average.
The addition of a brow lift would typically require general anesthesia, with
costs going a bit high.
The surgeon will determine upper
eyelid blepharoplasty only
after examining your health
condition. This will help them provide an accurate price estimate because every
patient is significantly different and so their individual needs.
For reducing the cost of eye surgery, you can always think of
travelling to Korea where the best of plastic surgery clinics provide
treatments at a highly competitive price.
The need for upper eyelid blepharoplasty arises when the muscles
that lift the eyelid becomes weak. The skin severely droops by nature or as one
grows older. Upper eyelid blepharoplasty cost also depends on the experience of the
plastic surgeons. If he specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive eyelid
surgery then he might ask for a higher price compared to a surgeon who has just
started practicing. Besides, the cost also depends on the complexity of cases.
Other factors determining the cost are:
- Location: where the surgery will be performed - in a hospital with an overnight stay or at the doctor’s office?
- Type of Anesthesia - local, IV sedation or general
- Experience and training of your surgeon
- Length and complexity of surgery
