As you age, your eyelids can start to droop or look heavy. As a result, you may look older or more tired than you feel. This condition can also affect how well you see.

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, can give your eyes a younger, more refreshed appearance while also improving your range of vision. Health insurers often cover the procedure when it’s needed to correct visual impairment.

Benefits of eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty

During this procedure, your surgeon removes excess skin, muscle and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery can:

  • Redefine the eyes
  • Eliminate a hooded or droopy look
  • Diminish puffiness under the eyes
  • Smooth wrinkles around the eyes

What you should know about eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty at LVHN

You receive excellent care.

Our experienced medical team performs all cosmetic surgeries requiring anesthesia in a fully equipped operating room.

Your procedure may be covered.

If drooping eyelids impair your ability to see, your health insurer may cover some costs for this corrective procedure.

You may want additional procedures.

To achieve desired results, your doctor may recommend getting a facelift or brow lift.

 

Barbara Schenk

Eyelid Surgery Patient

"When you’re older and have heavy eyelids, it doesn’t mean you need a nap. It means you need to see a doctor, especially if your heavy lids affect your ability to see well.
