Are the results of blepharoplasty permanent?
Is eyelid surgery covered by insurance?
If your vision is obscured, eyelid surgery can be performed for medical reasons and may be covered by your health insurance. However, insurance will typically not cover the procedure if it’s being performed purely for cosmetic reasons.
How soon after eyelid surgery will I see the full results?
You will see changes in your eyelids soon after surgery. Shortly after the procedure, though, swelling will obscure the new contours of the eyes. It can take one to two weeks for the swelling and redness to subside enough to begin seeing significant effects of the procedure. Usually, the complete results of the surgery are visible after about four to six weeks.
Are the results of blepharoplasty permanent?
Although the results of eyelid surgery aren’t necessarily permanent, they are typically very long-lasting. With upper blepharoplasty, the results usually last for around five to 10 years. However, the results of lower blepharoplasty can often last for decades or even a lifetime.
