Plastic Surgery 2011
Eyelid Surgery Can Be More Than Cosmetic
Blepharoplasty, more commonly known as
eyelid surgery
, can have more than cosmetic benefits, according to a report published in the December 2011 issue of Ophthalmology.
Eyelid surgery
also provides marked improvement in overall vision, peripheral vision, and quality of life for some patients. In an interview with Medscape Medical News, one of the researchers in the study, Dr. Kenneth V. Cahill, commented that he conducted the study in order to verify what he had already seen in his surgical practice—that his patients often had improved vision and comfort following
eyelid surgery
.
This report is significant because for years, third-party insurance carriers have often denied payment for
eyelid surgery
due to the misguided assumption that such surgeries are only done for cosmetic purposes. According to another doctor interviewed by Medscape Medical News, the standards set by Medicare and many other third-party insurance carriers are much stricter than those from which most patients would benefit. Many patients who are denied coverage opt for the
surgery
anyway, paying for it out of pocket. These patients usually tell their doctors that it is the best investment they have ever made. Doctors say they hope the results of this research will compel insurance carriers to modify some of their policies regarding
eyelid surgery
.
In addition to the medical benefits of
eyelid surgery
, doctors and patients have long recognized the psychological benefits of an improved appearance following the procedure. Due to age and other factors, eyelids can frequently sag, giving individuals the appearance of tiredness, sadness or laziness. When droopy eyelids are repaired with
surgery
, the patient regains a more youthful and lively appearance. Not only does the patient feel better, but others are quicker to connect with him or her in conversation because he or she appears more alert and engaging.
If your eyelids tend to sag or droop, consider contacting a
Dallas
area Plastic Surgeon to discuss whether or not you may benefit from
eyelid surgery
. Be sure that your surgeon has you see an ophthalmologist to determine if you have experienced any vision loss due to drooping eyelids. If the need for
eyelid surgery
is medically indicated, your insurance may cover the cost.

Plastic Surgery $82.91 Plastic surgery has historically been used when medically necessary–for example, on burn or accident victims, and those born with cleft palates–or to repair extreme cases of cosmetic disfigurement, such as nose surgeries in India to fix amputations previously performed as a punishment for adulterous men. In today’s society, however, plastic surgery has become a common option for those seeking to modify their normal and uninjured bodies to conform to an unrealistic, idealized model of perfection. This book presents a fascinating history of how original therapeutic techniques were adapted to offer cosmetic changes to patients without disfiguring bodily changes. The second section of "Plastic Surgery" details the medical techniques and choices currently available, while the third part offers unbiased resources to potential plastic surgery patients. |
