I have 15 years old, and I have ptosis, can I have a Eylied Surgery, with parent control? What is the price of the surgery?

Thank you for the question. Ptosis repair is common for children. If it can be shown that the eyelid is obstructing your vision, insurance covers the procedure. See an experienced oculoplastic surgeon to evaluate the cause of your condition and discuss potential treatments. Good luck,

If you do have ptosis, then you can have a surgery to elevate the lid.  See an oculoplastic surgeon to determine which type of repair would be best for you.

Yes, you should be able to have eyelid ptosis surgery with parental consent. Best to see an oculoplastic specialist for evaluation.

With parental consent you may be a candidate for surgery  of the upper eyelid. You will need visual field testing and a determination of levator function as well as a determination of dry eye problems if any. Insurance will cover this surgery if there are medical indications .A comprehensive examination will be necessary.Michael Eisemann M.D.Plastic SurgeonHouston, Texas

With permission from your parents, ptosis can be treated on patients who are your age.  For insurance to cover the procedure, you would need documentation of visual field loss due to the ptosis.  This evaluation is traditionally performed by an optometrist or ophthalmologist.  Repair of the ptosis is usually performed by a plastic surgeon, ENT surgeon, or occuloplastic surgeon.   Cost varies depending on surgeon, facility, and geographically.  Best of luck to you. 

Thank you for your question and if you indeed have ptosis it should be covered by your insurance so see an expert with your parents and be evaluatedDr Corbin
