Upper Blepharoplasty in Austin for a Natural Refreshed Result
Drooping, puffy eyelids can alter your expression, making you look tired or sad; in some cases, they can even obstruct your vision. Eyelid lift surgery, medically known as blepharoplasty, repairs the form and function of eyelids affected by ptosis (drooping eyelid muscle) or sagging skin. An upper eyelid lift, often combined with a brow lift for optimal results, restores a youthful, vibrant look and widens the patient’s peripheral vision. The first signs of aging on the face often occur around the eyes resulting in sagging or wrinkling of skin, if you’ve been told that you look tired and upset, or you feel like you look older than your years, it may be time to consider an upper eyelid lift in Austin with Dr. Malena Amato or Dr. Marie Somogyi.
Is my eyelid lift covered by Insurance?
Blepharoplasty can be performed for cosmetic purposes, but also in some circumstances, it can be considered a medically necessary procedure if the extra skin overhangs your eyelids and reduces peripheral vision. This condition, called dermatochalasis, can be commonly caused by age, heredity and chronic inflammation. Eyelid ptosis is a condition that also causes a drooping upper eyelid, usually caused by a laxity or weakness of the eyelid lifting muscles and can also affect vision. Other symptoms may include headaches, dimming of vision, heaviness and forehead fatigue. If you need an eyelid lift for medical reasons, we can provide the necessary documentation during your exam to submit to insurance who will decide if you are a candidate. We will help you decide which is the best procedure for you. An upper eyelid lift can reduce eye strain and make it easier for you to drive safely and widen peripheral vision.
