ICD-10 Code H02.832 – Dermatochalasis of right lower eyelid (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code H02.832 – Dermatochalasis of right lower eyelid
What it is
Dermatochalasis of the right lower eyelid means excess, loose eyelid skin on the lower lid. It is a localized eyelid condition, not a general skin disorder.
Clinical signs
You may see redundant or sagging skin on the right lower eyelid, sometimes with a heavy or puffy appearance. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use H02.832 when the provider documents dermatochalasis limited to the right lower eyelid. This code fits office notes, specialist assessments, or preoperative evaluations that identify the exact eyelid involved. If the record only says “eyelid droop” or “baggy eyelids,” check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for ptosis, blepharitis, or generalized facial skin laxity. If the condition is on another eyelid or side, select the more specific code.
Coding tip
Always code the documented eyelid and laterality exactly as written; laterality errors are common.
