Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is used to improve the appearance of the eyelids. Eyelid surgery removes excess skin, eliminates bags and restores firmness to the area surrounding the eye for a more youthful and alert appearance. Upper eyelid surgery may be covered by insurance if vision is impaired by the sagging eyelids.

Considerations
