Blepharoplasty is upper and/or lower eyelid cosmetic surgery usually performed for redundancy of the skin and fat of eyelids. Insurance companies may pay for upper lid surgery if the lids get in the way of the patient’s vision. The rate they pay for the surgeon is usually pretty poor.
Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery Blepharoplasty
This young woman came for cosmetic blepharoplasty of the upper and lower lids. This was performed through traditional trans-cutaneous incisions allowing the removal of skin and fat. At 6 weeks she was pleased.

Is Blepharoplasty the one the (when badly done) makes people look constantly ‘surprised’?
The job you placed as an example looks great! I’d love to get it done on myself actually…I can see how it could get addictive,

If it is a simple case, $3000-4000. If it requires more than that it could be considerably higher.

Ball park…how much will this surgery run?
In extreme cases the skin and fat hangs over the eye. This was not one of those cases.

This might seem like a silly question but in what way will this affect your vision. Does it actually hang over and ‘block’ vision?
