Frequently Asked Questions
Is the procedure painful?
How long is the recovery time?
Will my insurance cover this?
Are the results permanent?
Most patients experience very little discomfort during and after the surgery. We use local anesthesia to ensure the area is completely numb, and any post-operative soreness is typically managed easily with standard over-the-counter relief.
Recovery is relatively quick. Most patients return to their normal daily activities within 7 to 10 days. Swelling and minor bruising usually peak at day two or three and fade significantly by the end of the first week.
In many cases, if the drooping lids significantly impair your vision, insurance or Medicare may cover the procedure. Our clinical team performs specific vision tests during your consultation to determine if you meet medical necessity criteria.
While blepharoplasty cannot stop the natural aging process, the results are very long-lasting. Most patients enjoy the functional benefits of improved vision and a rested appearance for many years, often for the rest of their lives.
