blepharoplasty

What is a blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift?

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as an eyelid lift, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids. This procedure can rejuvenate tired-looking eyes, improve vision impacted by drooping lids, and restore a more youthful appearance.The goal is always to enhance the natural contours of your eyes, ensuring subtle, balanced results that leave you looking refreshed—not “overdone.
insurance

Will insurance cover my blepharoplasty?

Insurance coverage for blepharoplasty depends on whether the surgery is deemed medically necessary. If drooping eyelids are impairing your vision or causing discomfort, your procedure may be partially or fully covered by insurance.

A consultation and specific visual field testing can determine if you meet the criteria for coverage. Cosmetic blepharoplasty, however, is typically considered an out-of-pocket expense. Learn more about insurance and financing options for eyelid surgery.
