Eye strain. Headaches. Obstructed vision. These are just some of the issues you may encounter if you have sagging eyelids. As we age, skin on our forehead and around our brows can loosen and begin to droop. Sometimes, the skin droops enough to partially cover your eyes and interfere with your vision. This is a problem that affects both men and women. Thankfully, there is a fairly simple procedure that can be done to correct the issue and make it easier for you to see. With an eyelid lift, also known as blepharoplasty, a plastic surgeon removes the excess skin from the eyelids. The procedure can sometimes be done using just local numbing medicine around the eyes. Eyelid surgery is often covered by health insurance as well. With eyelid surgery, in addition to improved vision and relief from excess eye strain, you often get cosmetic benefits too. Many patients find that their eyes look brighter, giving them a younger, more rested appearance. We can help you determine if blepharoplasty is right for you, and we can work with your insurance company to see if the procedure is covered under your current plan.
