2026 Blepharoplasty Cost Reference, by Procedure Scope
Updated 2026-07-02
In the United States in 2026, upper blepharoplasty with a standard surgeon and local anesthesia typically costs $2,100 to $3,850, lower blepharoplasty $2,550 to $4,680, and combined upper-and-lower surgery $3,900 to $7,150, at a national baseline before ZIP-code adjustment. These are the baseline figures produced by Blepharoplasty Cost's own calculator model, current as of July 2026.
How much does blepharoplasty cost by area treated in 2026?
Blepharoplasty cost scales with how many eyelids are treated, the anesthesia used, and the surgeon's tier, not a single flat rate. Upper-lid surgery alone is the least expensive option; treating all four lids in one session costs more than either alone but less than two separate procedures. The table below shows the national baseline (no ZIP-code adjustment) at local anesthesia; the full 12-row table, including IV sedation and general anesthesia, is in the downloadable CSV.
01 - Summary table| Area treated | Surgeon tier | Estimate (local anesthesia, national baseline) |
|---|---|---|
| Upper eyelids | Standard | $2,100 to $3,850 |
| Upper eyelids | Premium surgeon | $2,730 to $5,000 |
| Lower eyelids | Standard | $2,550 to $4,680 |
| Lower eyelids | Premium surgeon | $3,320 to $6,080 |
| Upper + lower (both) | Standard | $3,900 to $7,150 |
| Upper + lower (both) | Premium surgeon | $5,070 to $9,300 |

02 - How location changes the priceHow much does location change the price?
The figures above hold location constant at a national average (multiplier of 1.0x). Blepharoplasty Cost's calculator then adjusts for your ZIP code using a location multiplier that runs from about 0.90x in the lowest-cost markets the model tracks up to about 1.35x in the highest-cost metro ZIP codes it tracks, such as parts of San Francisco and Manhattan. Applying that range to the combined upper-and-lower, premium-surgeon figure above moves the estimate from roughly $4,570 at the low end to about $12,650 at the high end. Enter your own ZIP code in the calculator for a location-adjusted number instead of the national baseline shown here.
03 - A named, dated comparison pointHow does this compare to ASPS's published average surgeon fee?
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons publishes annual average surgeon fee data for cosmetic procedures. Its 2023 statistics (plasticsurgery.org, "Eyelid Surgery Cost," citing ASPS members' reported fees) put the national average surgeon fee alone, not including anesthesia or facility costs, at $3,359 for upper blepharoplasty and $3,876 for lower blepharoplasty. That is the surgeon's own fee in isolation; it sits inside the all-in ranges shown above, which also include anesthesia and facility charges. We cite it here because it is the most recent figure we could verify directly against ASPS's own published page.
Methodology: where these numbers come from
Every figure in the summary table and CSV above is computed from the constants in Blepharoplasty Cost's own calculator, not from a third-party survey. The base range is $3,000 to $5,500 for upper-lid surgery with a standard surgeon and local anesthesia, at a neutral location. That base is multiplied by an area factor (0.7x for upper eyelids, 0.85x for lower eyelids, 1.3x for upper and lower combined), an anesthesia factor (1x for local, 1.2x for IV sedation or general), and a surgeon-tier factor (1x for standard, 1.3x for premium), then rounded to the nearest $10. The location step applies a further ZIP-code multiplier of about 0.90x to 1.35x, derived from the calculator's built-in table of ZIP-prefix and regional cost-of-living adjustments, but that step is left out of the reference table above so the table reflects one consistent, location-neutral baseline. The one external figure on this page, the ASPS average surgeon fee, is labeled and dated separately from the model output and was verified directly against plasticsurgery.org this year. This page was last checked and refreshed on 2026-07-02 and will be updated if the underlying calculator constants change. It carries the 2026 year because it reflects 2026 US pricing patterns as modeled by this site; it is not a projection for future years.
This reference is a model output, not a clinical or insurance guarantee. Actual quotes vary by surgeon, facility, and individual anatomy. It does not replace an in-person evaluation. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon for a diagnosis and a binding quote before scheduling any procedure.
Frequently asked questions
Where do the numbers on this page come from?
They are computed from the same cost constants built into Blepharoplasty Cost's free calculator: a base range for upper-lid surgery, multiplied by factors for area treated, anesthesia, and surgeon tier. They are not pulled from a third-party survey; the one exception, the ASPS average surgeon fee, is labeled and dated separately.
Why is there no ZIP-adjusted column in the table?
The table shows one consistent, location-neutral baseline so areas, anesthesia types, and surgeon tiers can be compared directly. Enter your ZIP code in the calculator on the homepage for a location-adjusted figure.
How often is this page updated?
The methodology section above states when the page was last checked. It is refreshed whenever the underlying calculator constants change, and the year in the title is updated so the page never carries a stale year.
