Do your eyes look tired, puffy or droopy even after a good night's sleep? Eyelid surgery can remove the wrinkled drooping skin on the eyelids and sagging eyebrows. You'll look refreshed and years younger as well as restore blocked vision from this extra sagging skin. This procedure, called BLEPHAROPLASTY, is virtually painless, and recovery time can be minimal.
Blepharoplasty
This procedure is designed to remove excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. The procedure usually takes about an hour and can be performed using local anesthesia. Blepharoplasty can be done as a single procedure, or in conjunction with other facial surgery such as a brow lift.
Blepharoplasty surgery, in addition to improving appearance, also can make it easier to open the eyes, and improve the upper and outer portions of the side or peripheral vision, thereby improving ocular fatigue. Oftentimes it is done for reasons other than cosmetic. In those cases, blepharoplasty can be a service covered by Medicare and other insurances. In order to check whether the surgery would be covered by insurance, documentation of side vision loss is done and, along with photographs of the condition. The insurance company is then sent a letter and prior approval is obtained. In many cases, we can proceed with the surgery without prior approval. The procedure is generally done in a surgical suite with an anesthesiologist available.
