Eyelid surgery is considered elective if it is performed solely for cosmetic purposes and is therefore not covered by health insurance. If the procedure is deemed medically necessary to alleviate some vision-related issues or if vision is impaired due to a medical condition that can be corrected by blepharoplasty, insurance may cover all or part of the cost of the procedure. Our team at Memorial Plastic Surgery is ready to help you obtain the necessary documents for insurance coverage.
