Eyelid correction

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a procedure in which excess skin, muscle and/or fat are removed from the eyelids. There are both cosmetic and functional reasons for this operation. A frequently asked question from patients is: “When is blepharoplasty a medically necessary procedure?” The first aspect to consider is the motivation for seeking a surgical consultation.

If the motivation is cosmetic, the operation is unlikely to be medically necessary. If you are considering surgery because you have vision problems, there is a possibility that it is a medically necessary procedure, which may be covered by statutory health insurance.

We would be happy to provide you with detailed information about the surgical options available.
