The average total cost of a blepharoplasty in Boca Raton ranges from $3,500 to $5,000. The average cost without facility, anesthesia, and other fees ranges from $2,500 to $4,500. Lower and quad blepharoplasties tend to cost more than upper blepharoplasties.

How long does blepharoplasty last?
The results of upper eyelid surgery lasts about 5 to 7 years and lower eyelid surgery results are essentially permanent. The results of your blepharoplasty can also depend on individual factors, genetics, your skin care regimen, and sun exposure.
Professional and medical-grade skin care can extend the life of your blepharoplasty. Sunscreen, sun hats, and sun protection are instrumental in extending your results.

Is A blepharoplasty worth the money?
The vast majority of people are pleased with the results of their eyelid surgery and say that their blepharoplasty procedure was worth the money and more! Your eye area is one of the first and most prominent parts of your body to show signs of age. Blepharoplasty is an extremely effective way to appear refreshed, younger, and more energized while minimizing the visible signs of aging.
Eyelid surgery results are designed to appear natural looking and enhance facial features. Eyelid surgery is considered to be worth it if you are wanting to look younger and more refreshed.
What is the difference between a Brow Lift vs. a Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is most effective for people with excess skin and droopy upper eyelids. A brow lift works best for people with heavy, droopy eyebrows and forehead wrinkles. Each procedure provides excellent results, but one may be better for you based on your goals, desires, and outcomes.
If you are debating whether to pursue a brow lift, blepharoplasty, or both, ensure you receive a personalized consultation with a cosmetic surgeon before making a decision. A skilled and experienced surgeon is your best resource when determining which procedure is correct for you.
Will I look the same after blepharoplasty?
Yes and no! The results of your blepharoplasty will be noticeable but natural. You will look like yourself but appear more youthful, refreshed, and rejuvenated. You will also notice a substantial decrease in the appearance of undereye bags and puffiness.
Blepharoplasty can help make the eyes look "larger" by removing encroaching soft tissue from the corners. However, the actual shape of a person's eye is not changed with this procedure. Your surgeon will ensure your procedure is done with care and consideration of your natural facial features and structure.
