Blepharoplasty prices: why such a difference?

How much does a blepharoplasty cost? If you surf the web, you can find countless blepharoplasty options, with remarkably different prices. Why? What do they depend on?

Let’s try to make it clear.

Blepharoplasty cost: a downward price race …

Over the past few years, many low-cost plastic surgery clinics have appeared, also in Italy. Their communication is quite intensive and rather “commercial” and their prices are very low.

This aggressive price policy, on one side, has widened the price gap; on the other side, it has pushed other clinics to lower their prices, to keep up with the competition.

Unfortunately, all that has led to the banalization of this kind of surgery and to a downward price race, to the detriment of quality. The consequence? A sharp increase in the failure rate and in “repair” surgery.

Blepharoplasty: what’s the right price?

How can we figure out if the cost of a blepharoplasty is fair and if the value for money is appropriate?

The cost depends on different factors:

• Type of surgery: a blepharoplasty surgery can involve only upper eyelids, or only lower eyelids, or both. Obviously, a complete blepharoplasty surgery is more expensive. But there’s more! The surgery can be merely aesthetic (excess skin or fat or liquid removal) or also functional (involving also muscles and nerves); in the latter case, the surgery is more complex and expensive. The kind of surgery can be defined only after an accurate pre-op visit. Beware of “standard” prices!
• Surgical experience: would you accept a surgery performed by a new graduate? An expert and specialized surgeon is clearly more expensive, but gives you greater guarantees, both in terms of results and safety. But pay attention! A specific experience is required! Which means a huge blepharoplasty surgery experience and not only a generic plastic surgery In fact, the understanding of the whole eye area, the aesthetic eye, the dexterity require continuous study and training and specialization.
• Surgical staff: also the surgical staff quality is essential and affects the cost. A stable, close-knit, experienced and specialized staff guarantees higher quality and safety.
• Surgical room: it must be a real surgical room and not just an outpatient! And it must have all the necessary authorizations and certifications, cutting-edge and regularly reviewed surgical machines, adequate safety procedures. Obviously, technology, hygiene and controls greatly affect the blepharoplasty cost.
• Additional services included: blepharoplasty does not include only the surgery costs. You also have to consider: pre-op visit, post-op assistance (type and timing), medicines, wound care products, number of post-op control visits… so, always remember to check what the cost include!
