Access, Insurance & Peace of Mind

Upper eyelid surgery may be covered by insurance if vision is impaired. Cosmetic goals, such as under-eye bags, are generally self-pay. Many patients find surgery better value than repeated temporary treatments. Today, blepharoplasty is a common outpatient procedure with a strong safety record.

Stress-reduction tips before surgery:
• Understand the plan to reduce anxiety
• Prepare recovery space at home
• Bring a support person for the first day
• Stay local for easy Brooklyn follow-ups
