Factors Determining Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty Cost

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.

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.

• 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
