What Does a Touch-up Correction Procedure Entail for Upper Blepharoplasty That Needs Some Repair? (photo)

April 8, 2013
Asked By:Roxanna3100

I had insurance-covered upper blepharoplasty done 11 months ago but the creases ended up asymmetrical and set too low. There's also hooding that remains making the eyelids literally sit on the lashes. I've three questions: 1) will insurance cover any corrective surgery needed (since it covered the first); and 2) if it's just excess skin that needs removing, can this be done in the doctor's office, not the OR? and 3) what exactly does a "touch-up" correction procedure entail?
