The cost of eyelid surgery can vary significantly by clinic and region. Additionally, some clinics charge separately for specific aftercare. While this may initially appear cheaper than elsewhere, you may end up paying more in the long run. It is therefore important to be well-informed and ask the right questions. Below, we explain which factors can influence the cost of eyelid surgery and refer you to other useful articles.
What influences the cost of eyelid surgery?
The cost of eyelid surgery can vary significantly from clinic to clinic, but other factors also play a role.

An upper eyelid correction costs €1,750, a lower eyelid correction €1,750, and the combination of both €3,500. View our rates here.
Doctor's experience
An experienced doctor with a proven track record may charge higher rates, but in doing so, you are also choosing experience and care.
Location of the clinic
The location of the clinic can affect the costs. In general, clinics in large cities are more expensive than in smaller towns.
Differences in (after)care
Some clinics offer comprehensive packages, including care before and after surgery, while others charge these costs separately. Therefore, pay close attention to what is and is not included in the price. At Looks Clinics, we guide you from start to finish; with us, this is included in the costs.

Good to know: the costs of an eyelid correction are usually not reimbursed.
In some medical cases, the health insurer may reimburse the costs, but generally, you bear these costs yourself. Eyelid correction is typically a cosmetic procedure, and Looks Clinics is a non-contracted healthcare provider. Therefore, consider in advance whether you are willing to make that sacrifice. At Looks Clinics, you can be sure that a great deal of (after)care is included in our rates.
