- Have puffiness or bags under the eyes that don’t go away
- Feel that your eyes make you look tired, angry, or older than you feel
- Are in overall good health with no unmanaged chronic conditions

Who May Not Be Eligible:

Understanding Upper vs. Lower Eyelid Surgery
Blepharoplasty procedures can target the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both depending on your anatomy and goals. While our team doesn’t perform these surgeries onsite, we provide expert evaluations to help determine which approach may be right for you.
Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Upper eyelid surgery is often recommended to address sagging skin that interferes with your field of vision or gives the eyes a tired or heavy look. The procedure typically involves removing excess skin, muscle, and fat to restore a more natural crease and brighter expression.
You may be a candidate for upper eyelid blepharoplasty if you experience:
- Hooded or drooping lids that obscure your peripheral vision
- Loss of upper lid definition or visible folds
- A tired, aging appearance despite feeling well-rested
Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Lower eyelid surgery is more commonly pursued for cosmetic reasons, especially when bags under the eyes, puffiness, or fine wrinkles are a concern. This type of blepharoplasty can remove excess fat and tighten sagging skin to create a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
Common reasons patients consider lower eyelid surgery include:
- Persistent under-eye puffiness or bulges
- Dark circles that don’t improve with skincare
- Wrinkling or loose skin beneath the eyes
In some cases, patients choose to treat the upper and lower eyelids together for a more complete facial rejuvenation. Whether the procedure qualifies for insurance coverage often depends on whether it’s being done for functional or cosmetic reasons. We can help clarify the distinction during your evaluation.
