Functional Blepharoplasty

Functional blepharoplasty is related to the vision of eyesight. The primary goal of functional blepharoplasty is to improve the vision of eyesight. At an older age, the eyelid skin becomes overhanging and narrows the field of eyesight vision. So, in functional blepharoplasty only the overhanging eyelid skin in removed. During functional blepharoplasty, surgeon will not remove fat pockets and deep fixation. Because this results in hollow space in eyelids and give ugly looks.

Results of functional blepharoplasty are not comparable with the full blepharoplasty surgery. Your insurance company will pay for functional blepharoplasty if it is really necessary and recommended by your blepharoplasty surgeon. Otherwise it is considered as a cosmetic surgery and no insurance company pay for that.
