Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery Cosmetic eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) treats sagging and/or puffy skin around the lower and upper eyelid. Sagging skin on the upper eyelid often occurs as a natural part of aging. However, some people are more prone to it, and it can make a person seem older than they really are. In some cases, sagging lids can inhibit proper vision and the operation may be considered medically necessary rather than cosmetic. Call your insurance to see if they might cover your treatment if you think you qualify as a severe case. The procedure is a simple one, and involves incisions that follow the natural lines and creases of the eye area; any scars will be hidden naturally. During the procedure excess fat is removed or redistributed, while skin is trimmed and tightened, and in a few cases the underlying muscles are tightened. A blepharoplasty is an outpatient procedure and takes from one to two hours, depending on the number of lids undergoing treatment. Patients should expect to be out of work for about a week, after which, though bruising and slight swelling will remain, they can expect to return to normal non-strenuous activity.
