I paid Dr. Beal’s office roughly $2,000. On top of that, I spent around $1,000 on a hotel room and healing supplies for the week I needed to recover.
For comparison with what I actually needed:
The average cost of lower blepharoplasty (the surgery to remove or reposition fat under the eyes) is $3,876 . That procedure directly addresses eye bags and tear troughs, which is what I wanted.
In contrast, the average cost of laser skin resurfacing (the procedure I received) is $1,829 .
Summary Table
Expense | Amount |
|---|---|
What I paid Dr. Beal (resurfacing) | $2,000 |
Hotel & supplies (1 week) | $1,000 |
Average cost lower blepharoplasty | $3,876 |
Average cost laser resurfacing | $1,829 |
When you add it all up, I ended up spending nearly what a lower blepharoplasty alone costs, but I got laser resurfacing instead. If you’re researching Dr. Beal or looking for Cosmetic Surgery near Troy, this breakdown shows the discrepancy between what I paid and what realistically addresses under-eye bags.
Based on my experience, I strongly caution anyone considering Dr. Beal for under-eye procedures. What I asked for and what I received were not aligned, and the outcome left me feeling misled and lied to. If you are looking for Cosmetic Surgery near Troy, make sure you understand exactly what procedure you are agreeing to and whether it will truly address your concern.
