I am looking for a surgeon that will once and for all help me correct my hooded upper eyelids. I'm not sure what the criteria is for insurance to pay full-on. I think it's been starting to affect my vision, and I hope that the surgery will help with this issue, along with the benefit if being able to see my actual eye shape. I am in the Pacific NW. Thanks!!

Answer: Upper eyelid blepharoplasty From your picture you have some hooding which would be improved with an upper lid blepharoplasty. Some insurance companies may cover the surgery if you can document a visual field loss. Not all doctors will do the surgery for the insurance reimbursement as it has dropped so much over the last few years. And the insurance companies are much more resistant to covering for eyelid surgery.

Answer: It is improbable that this issue would be covered by health insurance. There are a number of excellent oculoplastic surgeons in Portland. Try the Casey Eye Insititue. I believe there are a couple of oculoplastic surgeons in the community as well. I guess that Roger Dailey is a past president of the American Society for Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. The ASOPRS website has a regional directory that will help you.Just studying your photo, I think you would do well with an endoscopic forehead lift.
