The cost of cosmetic eyelid surgery factors in so many variables that it's unrealistic to search for meaningful "average" prices.
That established, here are some out-of-the-hat numbers for surgery performed by an expert:
For basic upper or lower blepharoplasty, expect to pay about $3,500-4,500 (surgery, facility, anesthesia, follow-up).
For all four lids (that is, uppers AND lowers) performed at the same time, expect to pay about 50-70% more.
If you get fancy and start adding on a brow lift, canthopexy, chemical or laser peel, and/or a midface lift, expect your charges to climb.
In most cases, you get what you pay for. Many patients discover (although sometimes too late) that employing the services of a proven expert is generally well worth any premium.
Average cost in different regions of the United States may vary by as much as 50%, being highest in the New England states and lowest in the south central states. Fees in cities where the price of beauty doesn't matter (Beverly Hills, New York City) are often double that of anywhere nearby and, in some cases, completely out of touch with reality . . . |
