FAQ
Common questions.
Will I have scars after my eyelid surgery?
The incisions for blepharoplasty will be hidden within the natural creases of the eyes, so they are easily camouflaged and rarely noticeable.
Will blepharoplasty change the shape of my eyes?
Blepharoplasty is designed to correct overly hooded eyes, and saggy or puffy eyes. We are careful to preserve your natural eye shape, including distinct ethnic aspects, to ensure that you look alert and rejuvenated without altering the fundamental characteristics that contribute to your unique look and identity.
Will health insurance cover blepharoplasty?
In most cases, blepharoplasty is considered a cosmetic procedure. However, some patients may have such severe drooping of the upper lids that it obscures vision (a condition called ptosis). In these cases, an ophthalmologist may perform a "visual field test" to determine that the procedure is medically necessary and insurance may provide coverage.
