How Much Does Blepharoplasty Cost?

Blepharoplasty is the medical term that gets used to describe eyelid lift surgery. An eyelid lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that improves the appearance of eyelids, diminishing issues such as drooping upper eyelids or dark circles under the lower eyelids.

In Las Vegas, NV, Dr. Frank Stile offers blepharoplasty procedures to patients from his purpose-built cosmetic surgery facility. Dr. Stile is a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in cosmetic enhancements such as eyelid surgery.

TYPES OF BLEPHAROPLASTY

Blepharoplasty is a generic term that describes eyelid surgery. There are actually two types of blepharoplasty: upper eyelid lift surgery and lower eyelid lift surgery. Both procedures involve the removal of excess skin, but there are subtle differences between the two.

Upper eyelid lift surgery gets carried out to address baggy or drooping upper eyelids, particularly for patients where the excess skin interferes with their peripheral vision.

Lower eyelid lift surgery gets done to diminish ‘bags’ or dark circles under the eyes, especially when significant shadowing occurs due to light not reflecting off the skin.

AVERAGE COST FOR BLEPHAROPLASTY

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, eyelid surgery costs approximately $3,282 on average.. However, this average cost is not all-inclusive as it doesn’t take into account fees for surgical facilities, anesthesia, and medication.

It’s worth noting that average costs are often based on the surgeon’s experience, plus the type of procedure getting conducted. Other factors can also impact the total price paid for an eyelid lift.

FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE FINAL COST

As you know, blepharoplasty can refer to upper or lower eyelid surgery (or both). If you decide to have both procedures carried out, this will raise the cost of your surgery. Some patients may benefit from having upper and lower blepharoplasty for enhanced results.

Another factor that can influence what you pay for an eyelid lift is if you have the cosmetic procedure done simultaneously with another. For example, some patients may elect to have blepharoplasty with a facelift.

Other influential factors include geographical location. Some cosmetic surgeons may charge less or more than the average cost purely because of where their facility is situated.

BENEFITS OF BLEPHAROPLASTY

Blepharoplasty is a way for patients to improve their facial features by diminishing sagging skin and puffiness around their eyes. Such elements can cause people experiencing such cosmetic concerns to appear tired, sad, or look older than they are.

Eyelid surgery gets performed by Dr. Stile on an outpatient basis. Upper and lower blepharoplasties combined take around two hours in total, and patients can resume their daily activities within a week of their surgery.

AM I A CANDIDATE FOR BLEPHAROPLASTY?

You could be a blepharoplasty candidate if you have excess skin on your upper or lower eyelids, resulting in drooping or sagging skin. You’re also likely a good candidate if you experience puffiness or dark circles under your lower eyelids.

Patients make ideal candidates for blepharoplasty if their cosmetic concerns make them permanently look tired, sad, or have a prematurely aged appearance.
