Upper blepharoplasty, commonly known as upper eyelid lift plastic surgery, enhances the appearance of droopy and tired looking upper lids. During the pre-operative consultation, your surgeon will assess the condition of eyes and upper lids and determine your candidacy.

The surgeon may also present upper eyelid surgery before and after photographs during the initial consultation. Oculoplastic & reconstructive surgeon Dr. Tanya Khan provides safe and proven eye care procedures to patients in Plano, Dallas, Texas, and surrounding locations.

What are Upper Eyelid Lift Before and After Images?

Upper blepharoplasty ‘before and after’ photographs refer to a pair or group of pictures of past patients who have undergone the same procedure with desirable results. These pictures are taken prior to the procedure and several days or weeks after the surgery when the post-surgical swelling and bruising have subsided, and full results of the procedure are visible. 

The surgeon will use these pictures only with the patient’s consent and present them before new patients in a discreet and judicious manner. The surgeon’s office will maintain confidentiality about the patient’s identity as per protocol. 

The sole reason for using these images is to make sure that the prospective patient develops a clear understanding of what an upper eyelid surgery can or cannot do for them, and make a salient choice. 

Benefits

The face is the most visible and attractive area of the body from an aesthetic perspective. New patients are understandably concerned about any procedure related to a part of their face. The surgeon can use upper eyelid ‘before and after’ images to reassure a prospective patient on whether it is a suitable procedure for them. 

The amazing aspect of these images is that they are digital. Digital imagery took the world by storm and has been adopted by one industry after another and this one is no different. Patient after patient is impressed by digital images because these images offer clarity that previous technologies could never achieve no matter how much tending care they received. 

Some patients may require only a limited correction with an upper eyelid lift surgery while others may need both upper and lower eyelid surgery. In each case, the patient can make the right decision after viewing a full set of before and after pictures. 

Combining Photos with Text

It may be more useful for prospective patients if descriptive text detailing the procedure, the reasons for which it was performed, and how it addressed a patient’s specific issues is displayed along with upper blepharoplasty before and after images. 

The surgeon can visually present the surgical journey of a previous patient with clear and accurate descriptions that accompany these photographs. This can be an integral part of online before and after photo galleries as patients can connect better with pictures while descriptions enable them to understand the related details correctly. 

Sharing Images to Raise Awareness

Surgeons can share upper eyelid surgery before and after photos to provide patients the best possible advice and create awareness about the benefits of upper eyelid surgery. They may share the images digitally in the following ways:

• Website Galleries: Creating a dedicated before and after photo gallery section on the practice website which has been done by Dr. Khan with stellar acumen. 
• Portfolios: Developing a picture portfolio to present it during initial consultation to prospective patients seeking the same procedure. 
• Blog Posts: Adding images to a blog post is an optimal way to offer new patients visual documentation or procedure results.
• Social Media Platforms: Images are a powerful to optimize social media post. But it is important to use discretion while posting on public forums. 

A well-presented before and after image gallery can educate patients about upper eyelid surgery as well as act as a promotional tool for the surgeon and their practice. It is a channel to display their skills and expertise while helping new patients develop realistic expectations about intricate plastic surgery procedures such as upper eyelid lift.

These images are so tremendous that a patient, you, can look at them and apply these digital images to their own face enabling you to predict the future. This allows anyone to make a more perspicacious decision based on their own predilections.

A brow lift or forehead lift cosmetic surgery is a relatively minor procedure to rejuvenate your upper face through repositioning of drooping brows. During your initial consultation process, your surgeon will inform you about all aspects related to the surgery, and also explain the estimated costs involved. 

Committed surgeons will provide you with clear and transparent information on costs so that you can make a well-considered choice. You should feel free to ask any questions to your surgeon or their team about costs and look at the costs in the context of the quality of care you expect to receive at their practice.

Cost Factors 

Brow lift plastic surgery costs can slightly vary from one practice to another, and sometimes two patients at the same practice may have to pay a different cost for a brow lift. The actual cost of the procedure can vary because of numerous factors, such as:

Where the practice is located

Practice location is an important determining factor of your brow lift surgery costs. A practice located in a prime area would likely have higher real estate costs and their other overheads may also be higher. Compared to that, another practice in an interior town may be able to offer a marginally lower price for the same type of brow lift surgery.

Surgeon’s fees

The fee of a plastic surgeon can vary according to their qualifications, experience and reputation in the field. For an eyebrow related procedure, if you are working with an ocuplastic surgeon, you are in safe hands. These surgeons would usually invest in the highest quality standards and adopt best medical practices. 

They have the best skills for this type of a procedure and know the latest safety protocols. Their fee could be higher than, say, an inexperienced or less trained cosmetic treatment provider. 

Anesthesia and surgical venue expenses

If your surgeon decides to perform your brow lift using general anesthesia, it will involve the fee of an anesthesiologist or a certified nurse anesthetist. Their fee can vary according to their skills and experience. 

If you choose to have your brow lift procedure performed at an accredited surgery center, you can expect to receive the same standard of care as that of a hospital, but the costs could be lower than a hospital. 

Extent of Surgery

Your surgeon will discuss with you the treatment options at the time of initial consultation. If your procedure is performed endoscopically, the costs may slightly vary compared to a traditional brow lift surgery. 

Many patients like to combine their brow lift with another procedure such as an eyelid lift or a facelift for more harmonious looking results. This will increase your aggregate costs of surgery, but make the procedure more cost-effective overall. 

Insurance Aspect

If your heavily sagging brows are causing partial vision obstruction, you should talk to your surgeon as well as your insurance company to explore the possibility of insurance coverage for your brow lift.

Upper eyelid surgery is a cosmetic surgery procedure to gently lift and rejuvenate sagging upper lids. While it is usually performed for cosmetic reasons, if the drooping upper eyelids are obstructing your vision, it may be a medical necessity to undergo this surgery. 

During your initial consultation, the surgeon will discuss the cost aspects so that you can make an informed choice. Oculoplastic & reconstructive surgeon Dr. Tanya Khan provides safe and proven eye care procedures to patients in Plano, Dallas, Texas, and surrounding locations.

Factors Affecting the Cost

The monetary amount of upper eyelid lift could differ from one practice to another. A key factor is where the practice located. The cost of living in prime urban areas and main metropolitan centers is usually higher than that in smaller towns. This can affect the cost of most types of goods and services, including plastic surgery treatments.

What kind of quality standards are maintained by the practice and the surgery center, whether you will receive personalized care and attention, and whether the practice adopts the latest surgical technologies will also make a difference to the costs. 

Most importantly, the professional credentials and experience of your eye doctor will impact your outcomes, but their fee could be relatively higher than a new or less trained surgeon. If your upper eyelid lift procedure has to be performed using general anesthesia, the fee of the anesthesiologist should also be considered.

Extent of Surgery

Sometimes the upper eyelid lift surgery cost may be influenced by how complicated the individual case is. If you require additional procedures, such as lower blepharoplasty or brow lift along with your upper eyelid surgery, the overall cost will increase. 

But the combined procedure is often more cost-effective. Non-surgical procedures such as Botox or facial fillers may also be added to your surgery plan, which will also impact the overall price tag. 

Insurance 

Upper eyelid surgery costs may not be covered by your insurance plan if you have chosen the procedure purely for cosmetic reasons. But a notable exception is when you are suffering from ptosis or have heavily droopy upper eyelids. 

If your vision is unclear or obstructed because of this problem, you should talk to your insurance provider to determine whether you are eligible for coverage. Your surgeon and their team can assist with you with required documentation for insurance coverage in this situation. 

Choose an Experienced Provider

Although cost is the starting point for many patients when considering an elective cosmetic surgery procedure such as eyelid surgery, you should take it into account the fact that this procedure involves your eyes. Your goal should be to choose a highly qualified and skilled oculoplastic surgeon for this procedure in order to obtain predictable and safe results. 

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, cost should only be a secondary consideration when you plan to undergo a plastic surgery procedure. The foremost concern should be to choose the best surgeon for your needs.
