The Short Answer: What Blepharoplasty Costs in Toronto
Blepharoplasty pricing in Toronto ranges widely — from $8,000 for Upper OFA-Bleph™ to $45,000 for RERF-C (complete facial restoration) procedures with adjunctive treatments. The variation is not arbitrary. It reflects surgeon training, facility level, technique complexity, and — critically — what is actually included in the quoted fee.
Market data from a 2025 survey of 100+ Canadian plastic surgery clinics (McRae Plastic Surgery) shows Toronto upper blepharoplasty ranging from $5,500 to $8,500, and lower blepharoplasty from $7,000 to $13,000. At EyeFACE Institute, Dr. Gill’s fees for upper blepharoplasty start from $4,500 and lower from $5,500 — all-inclusive of facility and RN sedation.
Before comparing any numbers, understand what’s included. Some clinics quote only the surgeon’s fee, then add facility and anaesthesia separately. EyeFACE quotes are all-inclusive.
Upper vs. Lower: Why Lower Costs More
Upper blepharoplasty is the most straightforward eyelid procedure. An incision is placed in the natural crease, excess skin is removed, and the result is a defined eyelid fold. Operative time is typically 45–60 minutes. Complexity is relatively consistent across patients.
Lower blepharoplasty is categorically more complex. It involves the orbital fat compartments, the orbital septum, the tear trough, and the eyelid support structures — all within a few millimetres of the globe itself. The technique most commonly used at EyeFACE — fat transposition — repositions the herniated fat into the tear trough rather than discarding it, which requires a higher level of surgical precision than simple fat removal. Operative time is 60–90 minutes.
This difference in complexity is why lower blepharoplasty costs more — and why it is particularly important to choose a surgeon with dedicated subspecialty training when addressing the lower eyelid.
What’s Actually Included in the Fee
Ask any surgeon quoting you a blepharoplasty fee exactly what it includes. The full cost of surgery comprises:
- ✓Surgeon's fee
- ✓Facility (operating room) fee
- ✓Anaesthesia fee — local with RN sedation, or TIVA
- ✓Pre-operative nursing and setup
- ✓Post-operative care and follow-up visits
At EyeFACE, all quoted fees include the surgeon’s fee, facility (YASC, Suite 316, 4789 Yonge Street — a CPSO-inspected Level 3 Out-of-Hospital Premises), and RN-administered sedation. Follow-up visits at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year are included. There are no surprises on the invoice.
When OHIP Covers the Full Cost
Upper blepharoplasty is fully covered by OHIP when excess eyelid skin causes a documented visual field deficit. This means patients who qualify pay nothing out-of-pocket for the surgery itself — the procedure is medically necessary, not cosmetic.
OHIP eligibility requires Humphrey visual field testing showing impairment in the superior field with the lid in its natural position. At EyeFACE, Dr. Gill assesses OHIP eligibility at every upper eyelid consultation, arranges the required testing, and manages the full OHIP submission — at no additional charge. Many patients are surprised to learn they qualify.
Ptosis (eyelid drooping from a weak levator muscle), ectropion, and entropion may also qualify for OHIP coverage when clinical criteria are met.
Does Surgeon Training Affect the Price?
Yes — and it should. Surgeon training directly affects outcome quality, complication rates, and the complexity of procedures that can be safely offered. For eyelid surgery specifically:
- ✦ASOPRS fellowship-trained oculofacial surgeons complete dedicated subspecialty training in eyelid anatomy that general plastic surgery residency does not provide
- ✦OHIP-covered functional eyelid surgery (ptosis repair, ectropion/entropion) is performed almost exclusively by oculofacial specialists — not general plastic surgeons
- ✦Fat transposition blepharoplasty — the technique that avoids hollowing — requires a higher skill level than simple fat removal
EyeFACE’s fees reflect ASOPRS-level subspecialty care at a dedicated oculofacial practice — not a general plastic surgery add-on. The pricing is competitive with the Toronto market, but the credential set is not.
Financing Options
EyeFACE offers patient financing through Beautifi, a Canadian medical financing provider. Terms are flexible, rates are competitive, and approval is typically same-session. Ask at consultation.
The consultation fee is $450 — applied in full toward your procedure if you decide to proceed. There is no pressure to book at consultation.
The Right Question to Ask Any Surgeon
When comparing blepharoplasty quotes in Toronto, the most important question is not “what is your price?” It is “what does your price include, and what training qualifies you to perform this specific procedure on me?”
Eyelid surgery is not a commodity. A difference of $1,000 in the quoted price is negligible compared to the cost — financial and physical — of revision surgery for a poorly executed primary procedure. The lower eyelid especially is not forgiving of technical errors.
