What is blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery?
Medical science and cosmetic surgeries have advanced so much that even the extra skin of the eyelids can be removed. As the eyelids stretch and the muscles that support them weaken with age, many people consider changing the shape of their eyelids as they age. The solution to this problem is also called blepharoplasty, during which the excess skin and fat collected above and below your eyelids are removed.
Needless to say, this surgery will not only help your appearance, but will also prevent the formation of cysts under the eyes. Therefore, if you are unhappy with the drooping of your eyebrows or upper eyelids, it is better to see an expert in this field. In this article, we will introduce you to the benefits and care of this simple surgery.
Why blepharoplasty?

Is blepharoplasty covered by insurance?
You undoubtedly know that cosmetic surgeries are not considered part of insurance services because they are not considered necessary. But since eyelid treatment also helps to strengthen people’s vision, insurance services can also be used for this cosmetic procedure.

With age, the skin gradually loses its elasticity. The lack of elasticity plus the constant pull from gravity causes excess skin to collect on the upper and lower eyelids. The excess skin of the lower eyelid creates wrinkles, folds and bulges.
In the upper eyelids, the presence of an extra skin fold can cause the skin on the eyelid to hang over the eyelashes and obstruct vision. Fat that separates the eyeball from the skull can cause bumps on the upper and lower eyelids. The thin membrane that holds the fat in place weakens with age, allowing the fat to advance on the eyelids.
By performing eye lift surgery, you will not get rid of dark circles under the eyes and other facial wrinkles. Therefore, it is better to perform this surgery together with other treatment methods such as laser exfoliation, filler injection and forehead lift.

Improve vision
You may be asked how blepharoplasty can help your vision? Sagging skin around the eyes can limit your vision from the corner of the eye. In medical science, this problem is called peripheral vision limitation. At the same time, this same problem can reduce your field of vision from the upper corner of your eye.

What to do before blepharoplasty?
Before you make a detailed plan for eyelid surgery, you should meet with a cosmetic surgeon and get complete information about this surgery. Keep in mind that specialist ophthalmologists can also perform this surgery for you, but plastic and cosmetic surgeons will be a better option.
During this meeting, the selected specialist and surgeon will learn about your medical history and ask questions about your previous surgeries. You should also answer questions about your current and past eye conditions such as dry eyes, allergies, circulation problems, thyroid problems, and diabetes.
In addition, the manner and conditions of your use of medicines, vitamins, herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drugs will be very important in performing this surgery. After this step, it's time to state your purpose for this surgery. You will talk to your surgeon about the outcome of the operation and aftercare
At the same time, based on numerous tests, these specialists determine whether this surgery is a good option for you or whether you are not a good candidate for eyelid surgery. Finally, before blepharoplasty, the eye specialist will examine you completely.
For example, it checks your tear volume and measures different parts of your eyelids. Meanwhile, to check the percentage of your vision in the blind spots, a visual field test is performed. This issue will be more related to insurance services, which we will explain below. Do not forget to take warfarin, aspirin, ibuprofen and other drugs or supplements that can increase bleeding before eyelid surgery. Get help and guidance from your surgeon to use any type of medicine and supplement.
According to the obtained statistics, the result of upper eyelid surgery usually remains for 5 to 7 years, and lower eyelid surgery rarely needs to be repeated. Do not forget that even after eyelid surgery, the aging process of your eyes continues and does not stop. If you suffer from drooping eyelids over time, you can get help from forehead lift instead of eye lift. The important thing is that you should not expect the best appearance immediately after eyelid cosmetic surgery because you will have bruising and swelling for about 2 weeks. A complete and good rest can be the way to speedy recovery of your surgical skin.
