Benchmark, not a quote: the operating room and anesthesia lines are 2026 Medicare rates for the same codes; private prices for cosmetic work are set by each practice and are often higher. No public file prices the surgeon's fee: it counts only once you enter the figure from your own quote.

The operating room and anesthesia of upper eyelid surgery in the Phoenix area come to a benchmark of $1,262 in a surgery center in 2026, both eyelids in one session to $1,869, and an arm lift to $1,447. For anesthesia, Medicare treats all of Arizona as one locality, whose 2026 conversion factor is $20.21, below the national $20.50; a practice in Phoenix, Tucson or Flagstaff applies the same factor. For the operating room, the FY 2026 wage index of the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler area is 0.9786 before floor and reclassification, used by surgery centers, and 1.0741 after, used by hospitals. The surgeon's fee is not included: a Phoenix surgeon sets it, no public file publishes it, and the calculator adds it from your quote. Operations on the eyelids and the limbs have small room and anesthesia lines, so the metro barely moves them.
Eyelid surgery
The two eyelid codes share one surgery center rate, and in one session the second is paid at half. The Phoenix room for both comes to $1,675, and anesthesia to $194 at the Arizona factor. MedlinePlus notes that eyelid surgery can be done with numbing medicine in a surgeon's office, in which case the anesthesia line may not appear at all. When drooping upper lids reduce vision, a plan may pay after an eye examination; the eyelid page explains how.

Surgery center or hospital in Phoenix
The Phoenix hospital index, 1.0741, is above the surgery center index, 0.9786, because hospitals receive the final index after floor and reclassification. On short operations such as eyelid surgery the difference is a few hundred dollars; on operations paid as comprehensive hospital packages, it grows. The facility page sets the two payment systems side by side.
Arm and thigh lifts
An arm lift room is $1,235 in a surgery center here and $3,100 in a hospital department. With a thigh lift in the same session, the pair comes to $2,267, the second room at half rate and one anesthesia session at the lower base units of skin procedures on the limbs. The thigh lift page compares the two operations.
