Because orbital fat grafting procedures are very specialized, not readily available, and require a higher level of expertise than, for instance, standard blepharoplasty or superficial fat injections, surgery fees are increased.
While costs may vary depending upon severity, our most typical fee for bilateral upper or bilateral lower orbital fat grafting is $7,800 (includes surgery, operating room, and supplies). For grafting on only a single upper or lower eyelid, our most typical fee is $5,200.
If additional surgery is needed to adjust or augment a result after previous orbital fat grafting within the first twelve months, the fee for that second surgery is reduced by 50%. After twelve months, full fees apply. With severe hollowness in the upper eyelids, the need for more than one operation is not uncommon.
To avoid excessive swelling that might compromise the grafted tissue, we do not perform simultaneous upper and lower orbital fat grafting. If both sets of lids are hollowed, two separate operations are required.
