Drooping upper eyelid skin and lower eyelid bags can be corrected by removal of redundant tissues (skin, muscle and/or fat).
All four eyelids can be corrected in a single procedure or upper/lower pairs can be done separately.
If visual restriction is attributed to redundant upper lid skin by an ophthalmologist, an upper blepharoplasty may be covered by insurance.
Local anesthesia with light sedation is usually utilized for this procedure.
