Frequently Asked Questions

Do you fix eyelid problems?

Yes we do! Woolfson Eye Institute has oculoplastic doctors who specialize in oculoplastic cosmetic and reconstructive procedures.

The cosmetic surgical procedures focus on upper and lower lid appearance and function, restoring a youthful refreshed appearance without compromising the natural position and closure of the eyes.

Our oculoplastic doctors also restore function and appearance in patients who have had prior unsuccessful cosmetic surgery.

Our doctors have much experience with medical and surgical management of the eyelids and lacrimal (tear) system. We are skilled at reconstructing the periocular (surrounding the eye) area after Mohs surgery for the treatment of skin cancers, as well as cosmetic eyelid surgery, Botox injections and facial fillers.

What does Dr. Walrath charge for cosmetic consultation?

Pure cosmetic consultation costs $100. This fee is discounted from your office or surgical procedure should you elect to proceed with a treatment. Consultation to evaluate true eyelid malposition and to determine if the patient meets insurance requirements requires clinical evaluation and occasionally special testing — these consultations are billed to insurance at the standard rate.

What insurances are accepted?

Please contact (866) 527-3722 to see if your insurance is accepted. Nearly all insurance plans are.

How do I know if my eyelid surgery will be covered by insurance?

Our oculoplastic doctors will be able to tell you if they believe your condition meets the criteria for insurance reimbursement. In the case of upper eyelid surgery, each insurance carrier has slightly different criteria. These criteria are published and available, and based on your examination and insurance, Our oculoplastic doctors can usually predict when the insurance company will pay for your upper lid surgery. In plans that preauthorize, you will have the insurance company decision before your surgery, so that there are no surprises.
