The total cost of upper eyelid surgery in Northern New Jersey can be around $5000-$7000. It will depend on numerous factors. The three biggest fees are the surgeon’s fee, a facility fee, and the anesthesia fee. The surgeon’s fee is the cost of the actual procedure, and for my practice, this includes the preoperative consultation, the surgery itself, and the postoperative visits. If something needs to get tweaked, I also do not charge patients, as my goal is to get it as perfect as possible, and everyone heals differently. The facility fee is the cost of the supplies and the facility itself. Since the vast majority of my cases are done in my office, you’re just paying for the supplies and equipment since so much stuff is disposable, i.e., gauze, needles, sutures, etc. I also do most of my cases with local anesthesia and just an oral relaxing medication, so most people don’t need an anesthesiologist. If you’re very nervous, or we’re doing a revision or a lower lid blepharoplasty, then the anesthesiologist fee is to pay for a doctor to be there to provide “twilight” sedation. The following may not apply to everyone: some random fees that patients may have are History and Physical with Primary care doc, blood work, EKG, and erythromycin ointment medication (which costs $12.15 without insurance).
