There may be some instances in which a blepharoplasty is not only cosmetically, but medically, necessary. For example, if your upper eyelid skin has become lax enough to obscure your vision, it could be dangerous for you to drive. In that case, you may be able to use your health insurance to pay for part or all the costs of your eyelid lift surgery. However, we suggest you contact your insurance provider to verify what they will cover. If your blepharoplasty is for purely cosmetic reasons, it’s likely you’ll need to pay for your surgery yourself.
