About Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure to reduce or remove excess skin, fat, and even muscle tissue around the eyes. Do your eyes detract from the look of your face, making you appear old, tired, and worn out? Over time, upper eyelids droop and sag, sometimes even impairing your peripheral vision. Or maybe, the lower eyelids puff out with bags and dark circles. It is for this reason that many women and men want to regain that youthful, refreshed look in Boca Raton with blepharoplasty. You can visit Dr. Steven Schuster or Dr. Daniel Kovacs when you request a FREE consultation in Boca Raton to find out if eyelid surgery can improve your look. Before anything else, our surgeons listen to your concerns and give you the information you need to decide whether surgery is the right option for you.
The Basics – Boca Raton Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery, technically known as blepharoplasty, is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, making you look younger and more rested. Adults of all ages choose eyelid surgery from their plastic surgeons in Boca Raton, Florida for both aesthetic and functional improvements.
Aesthetic eyelid surgery effectively corrects:
- Loose skin and fine wrinkles on the upper and lower eyelids that make you look older
- Fatty deposits on the upper and lower eyelids that make eyes look puffy
- Bags under the eyes that make you seem tired or unhappy
- Droopy lower eyelids
Who Is a Good Candidate for Blepharoplasty?

YOUR PROCEDURE, YOUR NEW LOOK
Such surgery can also restore peripheral vision impaired by loose, sagging eyelids. Since this procedure restores obstructed vision, in some cases insurance companies may provide coverage for a portion of the cost. Many patients elect to complete their facial rejuvenation by including a brow lift, nose surgery, or a facelift.

Eyelid Surgery FAQs
How much does eyelid surgery cost?
Eyelid surgery costs vary depending on whether you need upper lids, lower lids, or both treated. Our surgeon will provide specific pricing during your consultation.
Does insurance cover blepharoplasty?
Insurance may cover eyelid surgery when drooping eyelids block your vision. You’ll need documentation from an eye doctor showing visual field impairment. Purely aesthetic procedures are typically not covered by insurance plans.
What's the difference between upper and lower blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from your upper eyelids. Lower blepharoplasty addresses puffiness and bags beneath your eyes. Some patients need both procedures for complete rejuvenation. Our surgeon will assess your specific concerns and recommend the right approach.
Can I combine eyelid surgery with other procedures?
Yes, many patients combine blepharoplasty with other facial surgery options. Common combinations include brow lifts, facelifts, or injectable treatments. Combining procedures can save time and create more balanced results. Discuss your goals during your consultation to explore all options.
Am I too young or too old for eyelid surgery?
Most eyelid surgery patients are between 35 and 65 years old, but age alone does not determine eligibility. Your overall health and eyelid concerns matter more when deciding whether surgery is right for you.
