Eyes come in all shapes and sizes and vary in there anatomy between races and ethnicities. But bottom line is, yes different operations are performed on upper versus lower lids. and different operations/techniques are used for different anatomic variants.

Skin excess leads to skin excision and therefore a scar on the outside; while bulging fatty tissue can be treated with either internal scars. Different surgical options entail different anethesia and equipment options, all of which contribute to costs.

Be careful signing up for eyelid surgery, or any cosmetic surgery for that matter, based on price alone. Interview as many Board Certified Plastic surgeons as you can in your area. You may find that prices vary; you may also find that each surgeon has different thoughts on how he/she may approach your procedure.

In some cases if the case is being done in the surgeons office, the facility and anesthesia fee may be minimum. If the surgery is being done at a hospital the facility fee tends to be much higher. Cost is also determined by location. A surgeon in Cincinnati is going to pay a lot lower for overhead than someone on park avenue thus the fees would tend to be much lower. Also some surgeons elevate their fees to create the appearance of quality.

If you pay a lot for something it must be good right? On the flip side if someone is willing to do surgery for twenty dollars, what is the product you are getting? That being said, surgeons in demand can have the luxury to increase their prices because people still want surgery with them.

Male Lower Lid Blepharoplasty Photo

The cost of any plastic surgery procedure will depend on your plastic surgeons location, his experience, the type of procedure, and wear the procedure is done.In my practice at the Indiana Plastic Surgery Center, the cost of blepharoplasty lower lid is generally $2750.  This may seem lower than most but I am able to perform this procedure in the office setting under local anesthesia with oral sedation.

This removes the facility fees of outpatient surgery center and anesthesia fees out of the equation making this more affordable.My lower eyelid procedure involves an incision just below the eyelashes, a possible removal of excess fat, a tightening of the obicularis muscle just below the skin (to support the lower eyelid) and a general removal of skin.  The procedure takes about 2 hours and right after the procedure, the patient gets up and goes home.

There is no lengthy recovery room process needed. The recovery is 2 weeks to being “presentable” but the healing is ongoing for months as the repairs heal and the soft tissue swelling completely resolves.Be sure to find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
