Cosmetic and Insurance Blepharoplasty Eyelid Procedures

What is cosmetic eyelid surgery?
Cosmetic eyelid surgery refers to procedures that are used to smooth the eyelids, remove bulging or wrinkled tissues, and create a more natural and refreshed appearance. Most procedures are performed in an outpatient surgery center under twilight-sleep anesthesia using laser techniques.

Insurance will often cover upper eyelid surgery if all of the following are present:

• you notice the eyelids blocking your vision
• eyelids covering part of the pupil shows on a photograph
• enough loss of vision on a visual field testing
• visual fields and photos meet your insurance company’s specific criteria.

We will submit this information to your insurance company for predetermination if we feel you meet reasonable criteria. During your consultation, Dr. Khan can determine whether or not it is worthwhile obtaining testing for insurance coverage. Insurance will not cover puffy or wrinkled lower eyelids.
