How much does Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery) Cost?

Eyelid lift cosmetic surgery, medically known as blepharoplasty, is typically performed as an elective surgery. Therefore, the patient will likely not receive insurance coverage for this procedure.

For this reason, the cost of the procedure becomes a vital starting point for many patients. The surgeon will explain the approximate costs of the eyelid lift surgery to the patient during the pre-operative consultation.

Khan Eyelid and Facial Aesthetics, led by oculoplastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Tanya Khan, provides blepharoplasty to patients in Dallas, Plano, Texas, and surrounding communities. 

Factors Influencing the Cost

Various factors affect the cost of upper and lower blepharoplasty at a specific practice. Practices located in busy metropolitan cities will typically have higher costs in comparison to smaller towns in interior regions. The average cost of living varies in different regions affecting the costs of goods and services. 

Facets such as individualized service, quality standards of a practice, equipment, and the credentials of the support team can impact the cost of a surgical procedure. The patient can undergo blepharoplasty at a hospital, surgical suite, or surgical center.

Each option will have associated costs and benefits. The surgeon’s charges are another important element of the overall cost, which will depend on their reputation, qualifications, and experience in the area of eyelid surgery.

Some patients may need only upper or lower eyelid plastic surgery, while others may require a combination of two procedures. Certain patients may need only transconjunctival blepharoplasty, which could cost less. 

If the patient chooses to receive eyelid lift surgery with other procedures such as a brow lift or Botox, the total costs of the procedure will increase. 

Insurance Aspect

Blepharoplasty is elective surgery. Therefore, the patient may not be eligible to receive insurance coverage for this procedure. A notable exception is patients with ptosis, who may be eligible for coverage.

This condition causes the upper lids to droop heavily leading to vision hindrances. Patients with ptosis may receive full or partial coverage from their insurer. 

In such instances, the patient should talk to their eye doctor and insurer beforehand. The surgeon’s team may be able to provide the patient assistance with insurance documentation.

Financing Options

The practice may accept major credit cards as a mode of payment for eyelid lift surgery. The patient can also benefit from financing options such as bank loans. In addition, they can seek loans from specialized med care financing companies for competitive rates of interest.

These companies typically offer faster loan approvals and easy monthly installments of up to 60 months. Patients can also consider seeking private loans from friends and family for their blepharoplasty.

Choose the Right Eye Care Expert

Eyelid lift surgery costs at a particular practice do not necessarily reflect their quality standards. For this reason, patients should focus on choosing the most appropriate treatment for their needs instead. 

Patients should work with a provider who does not deteriorate the quality and standards to reduce surgery costs. But the provider may try to provide their services to the patient at more affordable charges. 

Regardless, their fees for blepharoplasty will lie within a competitive price range. Board certified ophthalmologist Dr. Tanya Khan receives patients from Dallas, Plano, Texas, and nearby areas for blepharoplasty.
