Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to remove excess skin, herniated fat, and lax muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. Upper blepharoplasty from $5,500 addresses hooding and a heavy appearance; lower blepharoplasty from $7,500 addresses under-eye bags and hollowing. Combined upper and lower blepharoplasty from $9,000. Endoscopic brow lift also available from $9,500. All-inclusive published pricing.

Austin Plastic Surgeon offers upper and lower blepharoplasty as standalone or combined procedures, with all-inclusive published pricing and board-certified surgeons experienced in aesthetic eyelid rejuvenation. Upper blepharoplasty ($5,500–$7,000) removes excess skin and fat from the upper eyelid that accumulates with aging, causing a heavy or hooded appearance that can impair peripheral vision in advanced cases. The incision is placed in the natural upper eyelid crease and is nearly invisible after healing. Lower blepharoplasty ($7,500–$9,000) addresses the under-eye area, where herniated orbital fat creates visible bags and hollowing. It can be performed via a transcutaneous approach (external incision just below the lower lash line, allowing skin removal as well as fat repositioning) or a transconjunctival approach (internal incision inside the lower eyelid for fat repositioning with no external scar, suitable for younger patients with good skin quality). Combined upper and lower blepharoplasty ($9,000–$12,000) comprehensively rejuvenates the periocular area in a single anaesthetic session. Endoscopic brow lift ($9,500–$10,000) is available for patients whose brow descent is contributing to upper eyelid hooding — in these cases, addressing the brow position at the same time optimises the eyelid result. Recovery from blepharoplasty involves bruising and swelling peaking at three to five days and largely resolving by two weeks, with final results at three to six months.
