Eyelid Surgery FAQs
Is eyelid surgery covered by insurance?
Eyelid surgery is not covered by most health insurance plans when performed for purely cosmetic
reasons. However, if your blepharoplasty procedure is deemed medically necessary — such as when
drooping upper eyelids impair vision — insurance may cover some or all of the costs. Contact your
insurance company directly to inquire further about potential coverage for your procedure.
If your procedure is not covered by insurance and cost is an obstacle for you, discuss financing options
during your consultation to help ensure your procedure is as affordable as possible.
How do I choose the best eyelid surgery plastic surgeon near me?
When choosing an eyelid plastic surgeon in your area, ensure that each candidate is certified with the
American Board of Plastic Surgery and has ample experience performing facial plastic surgeries such as
blepharoplasty. Reading online reviews, viewing before and after eyelid surgery photos and asking
friends and family for referrals are great next steps to narrow your search. Finally, schedule a
consultation with your top one or two picks.
What is the best age for eyelid surgery?
While there is no single “best” age to get eyelid surgery, the majority of people who opt for this
procedure are over 40. Many people choose to wait until their 40s, 50s and 60s to get eyelid surgery
since nonsurgical treatment options like injectables can often be very effective for mild eyelid sagging
and eye-area wrinkles.
Is eyelid surgery painful?
Pain and discomfort after eyelid surgery are typically mild and easily managed with cold compresses and
over-the-counter or prescription pain medication. Swelling, bruising and temporarily blurred vision are
common side effects after blepharoplasty, though these effects generally dissipate fairly quickly over the
next several days.
How long does it take to recover from eyelid surgery?
Most swelling, bruising and discomfort associated with eyelid surgery should dissipate within a week
after your procedure. For this reason, most people plan to take 5 to 7 days off of work and social
activities. While you may notice gradual improvements over the next days and weeks, it can take around
three months for final eyelid surgery results to be visible.
How long do results from eyelid surgery last?
On average, upper eyelid surgery results can last up to seven years, while results of lower eyelid surgery
are very long-lasting and may never need to be revised. You can help to prolong your eyelid surgery
results by wearing daily SPF and avoiding prolonged sun exposure, managing stress, eating a healthy diet
and following a consistent anti-aging skincare regimen that has been customized for your skin’s unique
needs.
