Using The Most Innovative Techniques and Technologies
Blepharoplasty is an eyelid surgery that tightens sagging eyelids and may involve removing excess skin, muscle, and fat. As you age, the muscles supporting the eyelids weaken. Some patients have excess fat above and below the eyelids, causing sagging eyebrows, droopy upper lids, and bags under the eyes.
This droopy or excess skin around the eyes can reduce peripheral vision, especially the upper and outer areas of the visual field. In many cases, Blepharoplasty can reduce or even eliminate these vision problems and make the eyes appear younger and more alert. Blepharoplasty can be completed on the upper and lower eyelids.
Blepharoplasty Q & A
One may consider Blepharoplasty if droopy eyelids keep the eyes from opening completely or pull down the lower lids. Removing extra tissue from the upper eyelids can improve vision. An upper and lower lid Blepharoplasty can make the eyes appear younger and more alert.
You should consider Blepharoplasty if you have:
- Droopy upper lids
- Extra skin on the upper eyelids that interferes with peripheral vision
- Excess skin on the lower eyelids
- Bags under your eyes
Insurance coverage often depends on if the Blepharoplasty is a result of impaired vision. If the Blepharoplasty is only to improve appearance, insurance likely won't cover it.
