Eyelid surgery, or “blepharoplasty,” is the premier procedure to reduce signs of aging and exhaustion around the eye contours, giving you a more refreshed and energetic appearance. As one of the top cosmetic procedures performed for both men and women, the cost of blepharoplasty is a major consideration for individuals interested in rejuvenation for the upper face. Here, you can gain a comprehensive look into the price of eyelid surgery to help you better understand the financial components associated with the procedure.
How Much Does Blepharoplasty Cost in Philadelphia?
The total costs of eyelid surgery — including surgeon’s fees, facility fees, and anesthesia fees — generally range between $3,500 and $10,000 for Philadelphia patients depending on whether they’re treating the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both simultaneously. While your personalized quote will be unique to the details of your surgical plan, our office can present you with a cost estimate based on what you hope to accomplish.
Patients typically appreciate the lower cost of blepharoplasty in Newtown Square and the larger Philadelphia region compared to other parts of the country, which generally have higher rates. Specifically, eyelid surgery costs in other large metropolitan areas, such as Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Miami, and New York City, are typically much more expensive.
What Factors Affect the Cost of Eyelid Surgery?
Based on the most recent statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the average surgeon’s fee for upper eyelid surgery is $3,359, and $3,876 for lower eyelid surgery. However, these figures do not account for other costs included in the total price of blepharoplasty. There are several other factors that influence your cost estimate, such as:
- The geographic location of treatment
- The experience and skill of your plastic surgeon
- The surgical technique used
- Whether you’re undergoing upper blepharoplasty, lower blepharoplasty, or both procedures
- The inclusion of standard surgical expenses, such as anesthesia fees, hospital/surgical facility fees, the cost of lab tests, etc.
- The overall complexity of your surgery
Your consultation is an opportunity to go over all of the costs associated with blepharoplasty so you have a more comprehensive understanding of the procedure.
