Is a blepharoplasty worth it?

15 doctors weighed in across 8 answers

Blepharoplasty Cost: Blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift surgery, is a lasting way to achieve improvement of the upper and/or lower eyelids. Surgeon fees run between $2000 and $8000 depending upon geographic area and extent of proceudure. Fillers like hyaluronic acids (eg restylane) can be used to improve lower eyelids non-surgically. These last about one year in the eyelid. Hope that helps!

Yes: Blepharoplasty is a very common procedure. Patient satisfaction tends to be very high in properly selected patients. If you have drooping upper eyelids or bags and extra skin in the lower eyelids you are likely to be very satisfied with the result if you seek an experienced surgeon. I hope this information is helpful. Stephen weber, M.D. Lone tree facial plastic surgeon.

YES!: For the right person, blepharoplasty can be a very worthwhile procedure with minimal downtime. The procedure can help people look more relaxed and younger. Not everyone is a candidate for the surgery, however, so you should seek consultation with a plastic surgeon.

Yes: Most patients are very happy after blepharoplasty. Be sure your plastic surgeon has experience and a solid reputation. If you have any doubts seek a second opinion. Good luck.

Yes: The eye area is often the first thing on a person's face to show aging changes. The blepharoplasty operation usually has a quick , painless recovery, and can make the person look dramatically more alert, rested, and younger. The majority of patients are very pleased with the procedure.

Yes: Most people feel that the answer is yes. With a small amount of downtime, you can achieve rejuvenated and rested eyes. Surgery is not for everybody, though. Talk to your plastic surgeon.

Yes: The eyes are the central focus of the face. Having an refreshed appearance sends a subliminal message that you are alert and focused. However, the caveat to remember is that natural appearing lids is crucial. Overly pulled lids is not great surgery. You want a clean lid contour that maintains your individual identity. The procedure is well worth it. www.artofplasticsurgery.com.

The eye have it: No one , except the most extreme cases of excess skin hanging over the eyelashes, needs a blepharoplasty. However because the eyes are an important aesthetic feature to the face, as the bags form under the eyes, people look tired. Heaviness in the upper eyelids can make the eyes look small. It is generally a relatively simple procedure with a big aesthetic bang
