Eyelid Surgery

Also known as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery improves the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. It gives a rejuvenated appearance to the surrounding area of your eyes, making you look more rested and alert.

Treatable conditions:

• Upper eyelid surgery can remove excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the upper eyelids.
• Loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the upper eyelid, sometimes impairing vision, can be treated by eyelid lift surgery.
• Lower eyelid blepharoplasty can remove excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid.
• Bags under the eyes can be corrected by blepharoplasty.
• Lower eyelid surgery can correct droopiness of the lower eyelids, showing white below the iris (colored portion of the eye).

Insurance Coverage
In some cases, where it has been determined by specific ophthalmic tests that the excess upper eyelid skin significantly impairs vision, then blepharoplasty could be considered for insurance coverage. Dr. Ashruf and his team will be able to further discuss potential insurance coverage, in those cases which are medically necessary upon consultation.
