Eye Lift Costs

Eyelift is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the United States. The procedure is done through pulling and tightening skin around the eyes through invisible incisions. Because of eyelifts women and men have been able to achieve changes in their face that otherwise would have been impossible; literally, reverse aging.

It is important to remember that eye lift surgery will often improve face asymmetry, make eyes more open, more alert.

The prices of eye lift are derived from a survey of plastic surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

The eye lift typical costs include the surgeon's fee, anesthesia fee, operating room fee, and (where appropriate) the product fee - especially if the recommended lasers are used. When you call a plastic surgeon's office to inquire about price, make sure you get the whole breakdown. Costs in the United States are the same from coast to coast and across the Midwest. The only exception is the New York area, where you are expected to pay about 50% more. This is the typical breakdown for the costs:

• Surgeon's fee -- $2000 - 3000
• Anesthesiologist's fee -- $700
• Operating room (facility) fee -- $900
• Laser treatment -- $1300
  
  Total -- $6000 - $7000

Other costs that are not included are things like recovery time off from work, or the money you may have to spend on make up to cover the bruising and swelling.

These actual, physical costs but there are also "other" types of costs. Psychological costs. First of all, it will cost you a bit psychologically to adjust to the change - the change will most likely be a positive one but if you're usually a shy person then the extra attention may be a bit of an issue.

Additionally, there will be some questions from the relatives and friends. Just tell them you went away on vacation or got a new haircut.
