Suffer from droopy eyelids· A blepharoplasty might be for you!

If you have difficulty with your peripheral vision and feel like you have to lift your eyelids to see better, you may qualify for a blepharoplasty. This procedure removes excess fat and redundant skin that weighs down the eyelids. If it is deemed medically necessary, insurance usually covers this procedure.

Top Seattle Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Tarbet will take clinical photographs, and perform a visual field test to determine if the excess skin and tissue is impairing your vision.

Once a diagnosis is confirmed and your insurance has been authorized, our office will gladly schedule your surgery. It takes just about an hour in an outpatient surgical center, and the recovery time is remarkably quick. We have found that patients usually need three to five days off work or down time and experience zero to minimal discomfort.  Not only can you see and function better, but patients find that they look better, more rested and rejuvenated. 

If you have heavy eyelids, decreased visual field and feel like your lids are being weighted down, please call us today at 425-455-2131 or use our online contact form to set up an appointment to find out if you too could benefit from a blepharoplasty!
