Eyelid surgery
What it is
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, removes or repositions skin, muscle or fat of the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both. Also called an eyelid lift.
A price may be for the upper or lower lids alone, or for all four.
Every operation has risks; discuss them with a board-certified surgeon.

Prices for part of the operation
These cover one component — a surgeon’s fee, or a facility fee — and not the whole operation. Adding them together would be our arithmetic, not the practice’s price, so they stand on their own.

Context
What moves the price
Draft. Written by us from what practices publish, not yet reviewed by a clinician.
Where the operation happens. A hospital operating room, an accredited surgery centre and an office-based suite are three different facility fees for the same procedure.
How long you are asleep. Anesthesia is usually billed by time, so a longer operation costs more than a shorter one at the same surgeon’s fee.
Who gives the anesthetic. An anesthesiologist and a nurse anesthetist are billed differently, and some practices leave this out of the quoted price entirely.
Whether more than one procedure is done in the same sitting. Practices often price a combination below the sum of its parts, because the facility and anesthesia are shared.
What happens if a revision is needed. Some prices include the surgeon’s fee for a revision within a stated period and some do not; the facility and anesthesia are rarely included either way.
