Common Oculoplastic Procedures
Ptosis Repair
Correction of drooping upper eyelids.
Entropion Repair
Fixes eyelids that turn inward.
Blepharoplasty
Removal of excess eyelid skin and/or fat from the upper eyelids (functional or cosmetic).
Ectropion Repair
Fixes eyelids that turn outward.
Eyelid Lesion Removal
Excision of cysts, benign growths, skin cancers, or other eyelid masses.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Blepharoplasty, when done for cosmetic purposes, can rejuvenate puffy, sagging or tired-looking eyes by removing excess fat, skin and muscle from the upper eyelids.
Eyelid surgery incisions are hidden in the creases of the eyelids. The surgeon removes excess tissue through these incisions and then stitches them closed with fine sutures. These sutures are then removed after several days.
The effects of eyelid surgery can last for many years.
Medical Necessity & Insurance
Blepharoplasty may be considered medically necessary if your sagging or drooping eyelids interfere with your vision. In such cases, insurance may provide coverage, depending on your plan and clinical documentation.
