Blepharoplasty Complications?
Blepharoplasty complications include problems such as excess bleeding, infection, undesirable
scarring, vision loss and double vision just to name a few.
Eyelid surgery complications can not only affect your appearance but can also affect
the health of your eyes.
It is also important to define what is a complication.
If for example after having upper or lower eyelid surgery, the surgeon needs to address
extra skin or more fat pockets, these are considered enhancements and not complications.
In my practice people come for revision surgery for what can be defined as complications.
For example, one of the most common reasons people come to us is for lower eyelid retraction
after lower eyelid blepharoplasty.
For many of these patients, their eyes become irritated from exposure of areas on the eye
previously protected by the normal position of the lower eyelids.
Review with your surgeon the potential complications of blepharoplasty and discuss how these complications
are managed.
