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.
Insurance applies only if it is medically necessary

A: Depends on visual field obstruction
10 months ago
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.
