Eyelid surgery - Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty- Eyelid Surgery
The first time I heard the word “Bleph” I thought it was a cuss word- not a procedure to improve my aging eyes. However, as I researched, I found that blepharoplasty, “bleph” or eye-lid surgery is a great way to improve vision and the cosmetic appearance of an eye.

As we grow older, our skin ages and loses its elasticity. The loss of elasticity and the pull of gravity cause excessive skin to collect in the upper and lower eyelids. These actions sometimes cause wrinkles and bulges on the eyelids. An extra fold of skin may develop that will hang over the eyelashes and obstruct vision.

What is Blepharoplasty – eyelid surgery?
Blepharoplasty is an outpatient eyelid surgery. It can be done in the doctor’s office and usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour. The procedure is done under a local anesthesia by injecting a painkiller around the eye and also providing an oral sedation. Sutures are put in the eyelids and remain for up to ten days.

Blepharoplasty- is it covered by insurance?
Most insurance companies cover eyelid surgery if the patient’s eyelids are drooping to a level that his or her vision is impaired. Your local eyelid surgeon will help determine if your procedure is medically necessary. If the procedure is not medically necessary, it will be considered a cosmetic procedure and insurance does not cover cosmetic procedures.

How do I find a surgeon who does Blepharoplasty?
Qualified ophthalmologists who perform Lasik eye surgery and Cataract eye surgery are very experienced and familiar with Blepharoplasty surgery. Consult your local Charlotte eye surgeon to determine if Blepharoplasty is a good option for you.

When you ask what the "big deal" is with advertising, that's an excellent question, because no matter how you want to view it there is one proven fact which is true of business owners and entrepreneurs worldwide... In today's recessionary spiral, every good entrepreneur wants to do more with less.
