Will I have visible scars after Asian blepharoplasty?
In Asian blepharoplasty, the incisions are typically made along the natural creases of the eyelids, allowing for well-concealed scars. While there may be some initial scarring, with proper care and healing, the scars generally become less noticeable over time and can be easily hidden within the natural contours of the eyelids, resulting in a more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance. Your surgeon will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote optimal healing and minimize scarring.

Does insurance cover the cost of blepharoplasty?
In most cases, blepharoplasty is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not typically covered by insurance unless there is a documented medical necessity such as impaired vision due to sagging eyelid skin, so it’s important to check with your insurance provider to understand their specific coverage policies.

Can blepharoplasty fix asymmetrical eyelids?
Blepharoplasty can address asymmetrical eyelids to some extent, but it may not completely fix the asymmetry. The surgery focuses on removing excess skin and fat, and it can help improve the balance and symmetry of your eyelids. However, it is important to have a realistic expectation that perfect symmetry may not always be achievable due to underlying anatomical differences. Your plastic surgeon will carefully assess your specific case, discuss the potential outcomes, and provide personalized recommendations to achieve the best possible symmetry for your eyelids.

Are there any long-term side effects of blepharoplasty?
While blepharoplasty is generally considered safe, like any surgical procedure, there are potential long-term side effects to be aware of. These can include scarring, changes in sensation around the eyelids, dryness, or temporary or permanent changes in eyelid position. However, it is important to note that these side effects are relatively rare and are often outweighed by the positive outcomes of the surgery. Your plastic surgeon will thoroughly discuss the potential risks and benefits with you, ensuring that you have a comprehensive understanding of the procedure and can make an informed decision.
