For many men and women, signs of aging often show up around the eyes first. This is unfortunate but not the end of the world.
With eyelid surgery, you can safely eliminate the unwanted signs of aging. But, how much does eyelid surgery cost in Arlington, Virginia? Let’s get right to the juicy details you want to know!
According to the most recent statistics by American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of eyelid surgery is around $4,120.
However, there are variables that play a role in how much you pay, such as the extent of your surgery, the skill / experience of your surgeon, anesthesia fees, and your geographic location. You’ll be given the exact cost of your eyelid surgery during your plastic surgery consultation.
Eyelid surgery can correct many issues. Puffiness, loose or excess skin, fine lines / wrinkles, and other issues can be corrected with eyelid surgery.
Before eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, you’ll be made comfortable and given either local or general anesthesia. If you are having upper eyelid surgery, incisions are made in the natural crease of your eyelid.
Your surgeon then removes excess skin, as well as muscle and fat as needed. Sutures are then applied and will be removed at a later date, or they’ll dissolve on their own within a week depending on the type used.
During lower eyelid surgery, an incision is made along the lash line. The same techniques are applied regarding the removal of excess skin, fat, muscle, and sutures.
If you are treating eyelid puffiness, this is corrected with a special technique called transconjunctival blepharoplasty. An incision is made inside the lower lid, and then excess fat is removed. The sutures used to close this incision dissolve on their own and leave no scars.
