Question: Is it easy to tell if someone has had blepharoplasty? I'm thinking about getting blepharoplasty on my upper eyelids. I'm afraid that it will leave visible scars on my eyelids that will be noticeable to anyone who is close to me and sees me looking down. Where do plastic surgeons cut the eyelid and what does scarring usually look like? And has anyone had it done and know how much it costs?

Answer: During the blepharoplasty procedure, the surgeon makes incisions that follow the natural lines of the patient's eyelids. This helps to minimize the appearance of scars. For the upper eyelids, the incision is made in the creases of the upper lids. For the lower eyelids, the incision is made just below the lashes. Obviously, if you are only having an upper blepharoplasty or a lower blepharoplasty, only upper or lower eyelid incisions will be made.The Average price for that kind of surgery is $4,152. Statistics state that 66% of all patients say it was worth it. Hope that answers your question...

Question: My eyes are swollen after my Blepharoplasty? I got an upper Blepharoplasty on both eyes Wednesday and my eyes are very swollen. Does anyone know how to make it go down or do I just have to wait it out?

Answer: Hey, good for you! I just had a quad bleph, uppers and lowers. It's been 15 days and I'm still just a little swollen. You can order Arnica Montana pills over the web, they are really cheap and help a lot with swelling and bruising. Be sure to sleep with your head propped up, and use ice packs for 15 minutes at a time to help with the swelling. Just be patient - you'll look terrific. For whatever reason, it takes a long time for the last bit of fluid to get out of the lids.

Question: What is the salary of a cosmetic surgeon specializing in blepharoplasty reconstructive surgery?

Answer: They have an INCOME, not a salary. From that, they pay for their office space, several nurses, receptionists, secretaries, 6 or 7 different insurance policies, medical insurance for their staff, on and on. So what they put on the books is astonishing- for a good surgeon- what they take home is still very substantial. Depends on how hard they want to work, lots of variables. Malpractice insurance alone for a Cosmetic Surgeon is more than many doctors earn a year.

Question: How much do you think Lower eye blepharoplasty Cost? I was born with heavy bags under my eyes, and I want to get rid of them, I want to get plastic surgery, but I need an estimate of what it might cost.

Answer: Some variables are: region of country you are in, your general health ( to determine how extensive the pre-surgical work up needs to be), the surgical setting (office, out patient surgical center, or out-patient hospital). But on average, including surgeon's fees, anesthesia, site fees and pre-surgical testing, and post-op care, you are looking at $2,000 - $3000. And since it's cosmetic surgery, no insurance will cover any of it. You could get a more accurate idea (maybe) by calling a few plastic / cosmetic surgeons' offices, and ask them for a ball park figure.

Question: Is Blepharoplasty covered by insurance companies? Is the procedure Blepharoplasty covered by insurance? I have heard that in some cases insurance will pay all if not part of the procedure. Thanks, Ron

Answer: Some will, some won't. Some will require what's called a prior authorization first, in which the doctor performing (or his staff) will have to send in an appeal to the insurance company first. Depending on what your insurance is, they may or may not. The very best thing you should do is call your insurance company and they'll give you the right answer. That way you can get the prior authorization process started if needed. Hope this helps, and good luck!
