CONTACT US TODAY Book a FREE Consultation Financing For All Apply Now OVERVIEW STEPS COST FAQ BEFORE/AFTER EYELID SURGERY (EYELID LIFT) Eyelid lifts (Blepharoplasty) can rewind time by removing excess skin and bags that can cause a stressed, aged, and tired appearance. Enjoy eye shadow again and look like you are rested, not aged and tired. This procedure can transform your face - imagine having no more eye shadow smear when you blink and no more trying to hide bags that simply cannot be covered by makeup. A small investment in time and in yourself can result in a powerful, rejuvenative outcome. DISCOVER THE JW DIFFERENCE Plastic surgery on the face requires years of surgical experience and judgment honed most appropriately through a plastic surgery training program. We created our “Dare to Compare” Scorecard to educate patients about surgeons' qualifications and to help our patients make an informed decision when selecting their surgeon. Eyelid surgery is a procedure where many doctors who are not plastic surgeons attempt to provide this service. Use the Dare to Compare to learn how to find a true plastic surgeon. UPPER EYELID LIFT vs. LOWER EYELID LIFT Eyelid procedures can be broken up into two groups - upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery. Upper eyelid lifts remove excess skin on the upper eyelid that makes your eyes seems smaller and “hooded." With lower eyelid surgery, excess skin and fatty tissue that create bags are removed and the skin is redraped. Each of these surgeries can be done under IV sedation in under two hours. We consider this a weekend recovery procedure where you can have the surgery on a Thursday and be back to work on Monday. EYELID LIFTS AND INSURANCE Does insurance cover eyelid lift procedures? The simple answer is: not often. Many patients have stories of family members who have been able to have insurance cover upper eyelid lifts. If the surgery is deemed medically necessary, then it may be covered under your insurance plan. However, you must fail a visual fields test (administered by an optometrist) and meet other additional criteria to show that excess upper eyelid skin is interfering with your vision. Lower eyelid surgery, a procedure commonly combined with upper eyelid surgery, is only potentially covered by insurance if you walk on your head. We are an ethical practice that would rather tell you that this procedure is not often covered upfront. We find that our patients appreciate our honest and integrity.
