Bleph:

We perform all ranges of droopiness of the upper eyelids, as well as drooping or sagging skin and prolapsed puffy pouches under your eyes, which can be corrected by a procedure called blepharoplasty. When these conditions are present, patients often complain of reduction of their upper visual field, especially towards the end of the day when they are fatigued. The eyes feel droopy, and patients often have to use their forehead muscles, or raise their brows, in order to lift their upper eyelids. They may also have a tired look to their eyes and face. Our goal is a result that looks natural and provides good function of the eyelids.

Paying for Eyelid Surgery

Droopiness of the upper eyelids, if significant, is considered a medical necessity which may be covered by medical insurance. Diagnostic testing will be required prior to obtaining insurance approval for coverage. A visual field test and photography are required for documentation. Pre-authorization of the procedure with your insurance company is required to clear you for the procedure.

Cosmetic Eye Lid Surgery

If you are considering Blepharoplasty for cosmetic reasons, medical insurance will not be filed as cosmetic procedures are considered elective, and are not covered by medical insurance. Financing options are available through Care Credit. For more information or to determine candidacy, please contact our office to schedule a cosmetic consultation.
