Surgery for eyelid ptosis!? PLEASE HELP!?

Okay so I have ptosis, which is where an eyelid is kinda droopy, I absoloutely hate it! I've had it since I was born, it's mild, but it still bugs me so much to look at picture of myself or in the mirror. I am considering surgery? I'm still young , I'm 15, but I really want it. I was wondering if it is considered cosmetic? Or would it be covered by insurance for some kind of medical surgery? Roughly how much would it cost?

1. It can be covered by insurance for interference with vision. costs are variable, some opthamologists do this surgery and some ENT docs also, not just plastic surgeons. You'd have to negotiate a cost or have insurance cover it. I think insurance is your best course. You'll be happy with results, as this simple eye surgery is the longest lasting and best results in competent hands.
2. I think that in the US most insurances will cover it if it is obstructing your vision by 30%. You should go to an ophthalmologist that does blepharoplasty and have them give you a health exam for your eye, and a consultation for the proceedure and then see what it would cost. You might be surprised as it might be a bad thing for you in the next couple of years to be driving at night and have your pupils dilate and get less light becuase of the ptosis. It is not just a cosmetic deal here, it can cause you trouble. Check it out.
3. Cosmetic Surgery can really enhance the overall look. I always contemplated getting eyelid surgery and finally decided to get the Surgery in India, Getting cosmetic surgery at really low prices, plus enjoying a vacation to a beautiful destination is what made me travel to India for getting this surgery. It was a wonderful experience and I am extremely happy with the results. I got it done through Tour2india4health Consultants. Tour2inida4health Consultants is very famous in India. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. http://www.tour2india4health.com
