Schedule A Cosmetic Evaluation
What is a cosmetic blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is a surgery that removes excess eyelid skin and/or fat from the upper or lower lids. If the excess skin significantly blocks your vision, insurance may often cover the cost of the procedure (functional blepharoplasty). Otherwise, the procedure is considered cosmetic and insurance will not pay (cosmetic blepharoplasty).
What are the benefits of blepharoplasty?
