When the rain subsides, many refugees come out and traipse along the camp's main muddy road, talking with one another, converging around the cellphone charging stations, asking volunteers when the trucks with new deliveries of donations will arrive. Others huddle around small fires.
The national average for plastic surgeon fees for blepharoplasty is $3,528, according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Of course, this is just the average. Some surgeons charge less and others charge much more. Anesthesia fees for eyelid surgery can range from $400 to $800 depending on the nature and extent of the procedure, and the facility fee can be up to $1,000.
Note: The vast majority of patients having upper eyelid surgery only have surgery in the office with local anesthesia only. Lower eyelid surgery is done is usually done in the operating room under general anesthesia for patient comfort. Transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty $4500 + operating room fees $725 = $5225. If skin pinch/canthopexy needed add additional $1000 and $725 operating room fee = $6950. Upper blepharoplasty and transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty $6500 + operating room/anesthesia charges $1450 = $7950. If skin pinch/canthopexy needed add additional $1000 and $725 operating room fee = $9675.
