Whether or not a brow lift is covered by insurance is based on the amount of brow droop and the amount of tissue blocking the vision. Dr. McDevitt and Dr. Sweeney will evaluate you for the degree of brow droop and perform standardized photography and visual field tests to help determine if you meet the criteria of your insurance company for an insurance-covered surgery. If you do not meet the criteria for insurance-covered surgery, you can either wait until the brows age to meet the insurance criteria or you can proceed with surgery covering the costs of surgery yourself. When the surgery is paid for by the patient rather than an insurance company, this is considered a cosmetic brow lift.
