Blepharoplasty (Eyelid) Surgery

Understand the Benefits of Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty is a type of surgery that repairs droopy eyelids and involves removing excess skin, muscle, and fat. As we age, our eyelids stretch, and the muscles supporting them weaken. As a result, excess skin or fat may gather above and below your eyelids, causing sagging eyebrows, droopy upper lids, and bags under your eyes.

Besides making you look older and tired, the sagging skin around your eyes can reduce your peripheral vision. Blepharoplasty can reduce or eliminate these vision problems and make your eyes appear younger and more alert.

To help decide if blepharoplasty is right for you, find out what you can realistically expect and explore the benefits and risks of blepharoplasty by making an appointment with board-certified ophthalmologist Dr. Kim Burrell.

Why You Should Choose Blepharoplasty

You might consider blepharoplasty if droopy or sagging eyelids keep you from enjoying daily activities. Removing excess tissue from your upper eyelids can improve your field of vision. In this way, blepharoplasty can improve the quality of your life.

In other cases, people may choose this surgery for cosmetic reasons. Upper and lower lid blepharoplasty can make your eyes appear younger and more alert.

Insurance coverage may depend on whether the surgery repairs a condition that impairs vision or just for cosmetic purposes.
