How much does blepharoplasty cost?
A clear breakdown of what blepharoplasty actually costs in 2026 — what's bundled, what isn't, and how regional pricing changes the bill.
What drives the cost of blepharoplasty?
Upper vs. lower vs. quad
Upper-only is the simplest; lower or quad (upper+lower) doubles complexity. Quad blepharoplasty often includes fat repositioning rather than removal.
Skin-only vs. fat-pad work
Lower lid procedures that address fat herniation through a transconjunctival approach add OR time and cost.
Combined ptosis repair
True ptosis (drooping lid muscle) repair vs. skin excision is a different procedure — and is often insurance-covered.
Asian double-eyelid surgery
Specialized incisional or non-incisional techniques add a premium, especially with surgeons who specialize.
Is blepharoplasty covered by insurance?
Upper blepharoplasty is sometimes covered when visual field testing demonstrates obstruction. Lower lid blepharoplasty for cosmetic concerns is never covered.
