For example, eyelids may droop so much that they restrict your vision, and heavy brows may force your eyelids down into your field of sight. Our surgeon carefully works to correct these abnormalities, helping to improve both your vision and overall look. While health insurance may help defray the cost of functional surgery, they will not cover the cost of cosmetic procedures. Our surgeon will conduct an evaluation of your unique needs and goals, which is the first step toward determining whether you have a functional condition and if insurance will help pay for surgery.<\/p><p>Cosmetic oculoplastic surgery, on the other hand, focuses primarily on altering your appearance. You might elect to have oculoplastic lower eyelid surgery to make the lids smoother, reduce puffiness, excess skin, and dark circles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9431483 elementor-alert-info elementor-widget elementor-widget-alert\" data-id=\"9431483\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"alert.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-alert\" role=\"alert\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-alert-title\">LONG-TERM ESTHETICS<\/span>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-alert-description\">Medical Eye Center is home to Renew Medical Spa.
