Is it possible to find a lower price for incisional double eyelid surgery from a true eyelid specialist? Probably, although not by very much.

Is it possible to find a substantially lower price from a general cosmetic surgeon with little or almost no experience in treating the Asian lid? Absolutely.

Quality care from an expert costs more than that delivered by a non-specialist or the practitioner who cuts every corner to offer a rock-bottom fee.

But can't you save money traveling to Asia? (opens in a new window)

Double eyelid surgery is not the best service on which to shop for sales. If your stereo breaks, you can throw it out and buy another one. Unfortunately, that's not quite so easy with your face.

Searching for the bargain "eye job" may be risking your appearance and, should complications arise, your vision, your psyche, and your pocketbook.
