Eyelid Belpharoplasty Risks, Problems, What to Know in Advance

Q: In preping myself for eyelid blepharoplasty procedure i'd like to know what to expect beforehand.  Am I taking risks? what problems are possible? help me calm down!


A: There are more than 50 different ways to perform an eyelid surgery. Depending on you, your needs and your anatomy your surgeon should come up with a specific treatment plan to meet your needs. Unfortunately some surgeons only know of one or two ways of doing these procedures and they use that on every patient they see.

So I would say make sure you do your homework before choosing an eyelid surgeon because revisional surgery (fixing previously poorly performed surgery) is more challenging and costs much more than primary surgery. Make sure you at least you ask for an oculoplastic surgeon.
