Before Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
During your first consultation, your doctor will ask you about your general health, your vision, tear production, and use of glasses or lenses, and any specific conditions that might interfere with surgery. You'll discuss the details of the procedure (such as whether all four eyelids, or just the upper or lower ones, will be operated on), the type of anesthesia that will be used, what to do before and after the surgery. Together, you’ll develop a plan for surgery and healing.
You may not take aspirin or any non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory medicine (such as Advil or Motrin; Tylenol is acceptable) for about two weeks before the surgery.
