Blepharoplastyin Portland, OR

Eyelid surgery costs will vary based on whether you’re getting a lower eyelid lift, upper, or both. Once your surgical plan is created in your initial consultation, Dr. Aghayan can talk to you about cost estimates. For results that look natural and last for many years, it’s better to concentrate on finding an experienced plastic surgeon whom you are comfortable with, like Dr. Aghayan, rather than looking for the lowest cost. To help you afford great results, Après Plastic Surgery takes several payment methods, including low-interest medical financing.

Blepharoplasty doesn’t just help to rejuvenate your face, but it can also give you other benefits. You may discover your vision field is greater once hanging skin on your upper eyelid is gone. It is also much easier to put on eye shadow and other makeup once your upper lid is smooth. Getting rid of fine lines, paper-thin skin, dark circles, and puffy bags on your lower eyelid may help your eyes appear fuller and brighter without a lot of makeup.

Nonsurgical skin tightening plus injectable wrinkle treatments (like Restylane, Juvéderm, and BOTOX) may give you mild improvements. Although, if you want to fix moderate to severe loose skin or would like to see results that last a long time, eyelid surgery is better for your needs. Once you tell Portland eyelid lift expert, Dr. Aghayan, about your needs and goals, he will give you his suggestions for a surgical or nonsurgical treatment plan. He might also recommend combining both nonsurgical and surgical procedures for ideal results.

When excess skin is compromising your sight, your health insurance might cover some of your blepharoplasty. Please talk to Dr. Aghayan in your initial consultation if you may be applying for an insurance claim. A team member at Après Plastic Surgery can help you submit the required paperwork and information to your provider to consider your claim. In most cases, you will require a letter from an ophthalmologist or optometrist stating that blepharoplasty is medically necessary to restore your field of vision.

Crow’s feet and forehead wrinkles might be better treated with a brow lift or facelift as the improvements of blepharoplasty are limited to the upper or lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty may also be performed with a nonsurgical treatment, like BOTOX, which can smooth wrinkles around the eyes and on the forehead. Wrinkle fillers, like Juvéderm or Restylane, may help to add volume for a softer, smoother appearance. In your initial consultation, Dr. Aghayan will develop your unique treatment plan to fit your needs and goals.
