Typically, blepharoplasties are considered cosmetic surgery and are not paid for by medical insurance. However, if there is approximately 30% of visual field obstruction of the entire field of view, some insurance companies may consider paying for this as a functional problem. Always be prepared to pay for this surgery in case your insurance denies the claim.

There is no insurance coverage for Blepharoplasty surgery unless it affects the field of vision; even then it may not be covered. If not, it is considered cosmetic and elective surgery.
