Ohio has 15 fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeons listed on EyePlastics, 6 of whom list blepharoplasty (eyelid lift, also searched as eyelift or eye lift) among their procedures. Every surgeon here completed an ophthalmology residency followed by an accredited fellowship in eyelid, orbital and lacrimal surgery; all are ASOPRS members. Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. It treats both cosmetic concerns (hooded or puffy lids) and functional problems (drooping skin that obstructs the visual field).
"Lists blepharoplasty" marks the surgeons who name it among their procedures; every listed surgeon is fellowship-trained in eyelid, orbital and lacrimal surgery.

Blepharoplasty is most safely performed by an oculoplastic surgeon — a physician with dual training in ophthalmology and plastic surgery of the eye and orbit. Oculoplastic surgeons who are ASOPRS fellowship-trained have the deepest expertise in eyelid anatomy and function.
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty may be covered by insurance when it is functionally indicated — meaning the drooping skin is obstructing the superior visual field, as documented by a visual field test. Purely cosmetic lower eyelid surgery is typically not covered. Note: when blepharoplasty is performed at the same time as ptosis repair, the blepharoplasty (skin) portion is always considered cosmetic and is not covered by insurance.
Look for three things on any Ohio surgeon's profile: an accredited oculoplastic fellowship (ASOPRS is the recognised US credential), board certification in ophthalmology, and current hospital or surgery-centre privileges. Then ask how many of this specific procedure the surgeon performs a year and to see before-and-after photographs of similar cases.
