Blepharoplasty

Do you think you are looking older? Do your friends tell you that you look tired? Then you may need blepharoplasty. Also referred to as an eyelid lift, blepharoplasty removes the skin from the droopy upper eyelids and bags and dark circles from the lower eyelids.

Besides providing a more youthful and rested appearance, blepharoplasty may improve your peripheral vision, allow you to read longer before getting tired, and remove the wrinkles on your forehead. If you are experiencing symptoms related to the heavy droopy eyelids, medical insurance may pay for all or part of your blepharoplasty procedure. The lower bag removal can now be done without any visible scarring and only takes about 20 minutes. If it is not visually significant, this is considered a cosmetic procedure and payment is made in advance.

Your eyelid surgery can be performed in the office or at the Healthsouth Grossmont Surgery Center, a Medicare certified and California state licensed surgery center.
