First off, before deciding on eyelid surgery, get in touch with a cosmetic surgeon who specialises in blepharoplasty and an ophthalmologist or eye specialist. During the initial consultation, the doctor will ask for the following:

• Your Expectations: One of the first things the doctor will talk to you about is your expectation from the surgery. They will also ensure that you have not decided to opt for this procedure under someone else's influence.
• Existing medical conditions: The doctor will see if you suffer from any chronic condition by checking your medical history. It is one of the significant aspects of ensuring you are suitable for this procedure.
• Ongoing medications: You will have to tell your doctor about any ongoing medications or supplements you might be taking. You may even have to temporarily stop some of them to ensure there are no complications from the surgery.
• Diagnosis: After the consultation, the doctor will perform a physical and vision examination. In the physical examination, the doctor will measure the different parts of your eyelids and test the tear production. Then, there will be a vision examination, in which the doctor will check your eyes and your vision (especially the peripheral vision). Lastly, there will be eyelid photography, in which the doctor will take some pictures of your eyelids from different angles to devise the best course of treatment.

If you are thinking of claiming insurance for this blepharoplasty, having vision examination results and eyelid photography will be necessary. The doctor may ask you for certain medications and supplements to improve the procedure's effectiveness and ensure little to no complications. Also, it would be best to have someone with you during the procedure as you won't be able to drive back home.

Here is what to expect before, during and after the procedure:

• Before: This procedure is usually conducted at the doctor's office in around 1 to 2 hours. Before starting the surgery, the doctor will numb your eyelids and administer IV medication to ensure there is no pain and discomfort during the procedure.
• During: During the procedure, the doctor will first go for the upper eyelids. They will cut along the fold of your eyelid, extract the excess skin and fatty tissues, and close the incision. The doctor may even perform a ptosis procedure to provide additional support to your eyebrows.
• After: After the procedure, you will have to stay in the recovery room, where the doctor monitors your condition and checks for any complications. You will be able to leave for home the same day after a few hours.

Like any other surgical procedure, the total price of blepharoplasty includes several aspects of the surgery. Here are a few components of the price of eyelid surgery:

• Hospital, clinic or surgical facility costs
• Medications (both prescribed and over-the-counter)
• Surgeon's fees
• Diagnostic test charges
• Anaesthesia fees

The fees charged by the surgeons usually depend on their skills and experience. But you need to understand that having a good understanding and comfort level with the doctor is just as much, if not more important, than the cost of the procedure.

Whether or not your insurance policy will cover the costs of blepharoplasty may depend on the reason for the surgery. Sometimes, if the surgery has been opted for as a cosmetic procedure, it may not be covered by insurance. But it would be best to consult about it with your insurance provider.
