Over time, excess skin or puffiness around the eyes can cause you to look more tired or stressed than you feel. Intense upper eyelid sagging can even negatively affect vision. Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that targets the upper and lower eyelids, removing excess skin and under eye pockets to restore a more rested and youthful appearance.

## Blepharoplasty FAQ

### How painful is blepharoplasty surgery?

Blepharoplasty is considered one of the least painful surgical procedures. You will likely experience swelling and mild discomfort for a few days post-surgery that can be alleviated using iced compresses and over-the-counter pain relievers.

### What is the best age for blepharoplasty surgery?

The most common age for blepharoplasty surgery is 40 and up. However, anyone over the age of 18 is eligible for eyelid surgery.

### How long does blepharoplasty last?

Generally, anyone who has received lower blepharoplasty will not need to repeat the procedure. Upper eyelid surgery results last at least 15, up to a lifetime.

### Will insurance pay for blepharoplasty?

Unlike most surgical procedures, it is possible in medically necessary situations for blepharoplasty to be covered by insurance. This is generally only true for upper eyelid surgery on individuals whose vision is impaired by drooping eyelids. This option can be discussed in greater detail with Dr. Palmer and his team during your private consultation.

### Is blepharoplasty a big surgery?

Blepharoplasty is one of the least invasive surgical procedures you can get. Both in terms of the surgery itself and recovery time post-surgery, blepharoplasty is known for delivering life-changing results with minimal downtime, making it a highly sought-after procedure.

### Is blepharoplasty worth the money?

Although there are no guarantees with blepharoplasty, most people are satisfied with their results and report having a youthful, alert and rested appearance after surgery.
