Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty
Droopy, sagging eyelids can make you look old, tired and listless at any age. Eyelid surgery removes excess skin, fat and sometimes muscle from the upper and lower lids making your eyes more open, vibrant and lively looking. In some cases if your vision is impaired by drooping upper lids.SurgeryLoans.com can help you get the financing you need for eyelid surgery.
Costs
Eyelid surgery is performed under general anesthesia, meaning you will sleep through the procedure, or with local anesthesia and sedation. Anesthesia costs range from $350 - $850. Eyelid surgery typically takes 1 to 3 hours depending on whether both your upper and lower lids will be treated. Eyelid surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning you will return home the same day. Operating room costs range from $650 - $1850.
