Will I Be Able to Close my Eyes After Eyelid Surgery? does the eyelid surgery leave the lids pulled open more so, causing difficulty to close them?

A: Can I close my eyes after eyelid surgery?

No, you will be able to open and close your eyelids after eyelid surgery. It may be slightly more difficult initially due to swelling of the eyelids but should not prevent you from being able to fully open or close your eyes.

What Type of Anesthesia Do You Recommend for a Facelift/upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery? Is twilight anesthesia safe for a 4+ hour facelift, bleph. upper and lower

A: The person giving the anesthesia is more important than the type of anesthesia

The two sides, general vs. I.V. sedation, for facelift surgery will continue to argue with each other until long after I retire, which I don't plan on doing for many years. There are advantages to both and disadvantages to both. The most important consideration is not the type of anesthesia being given but who is delivering it. The anesthesia should be given by an experienced board certified anesthesiologist or certified nurse anesthetist (CRNA) who is being supervised by an anesthesiologist. There is actually very little difference between a 'light' general anesthetic and a 'heavy' I.V. sedation.

	“Upper Bleph - Concerned With Initial...” I had upper blepharoplasty done on 12/22 because I have always disliked the hooding and puffiness of my upper eyelids. The made me look tired when I was not. It has only been eight days, but I am beginning to regret having it done. The healing process has been different than I expected. I spent hours doing research and almost all of the reviews and photos of upper bleph spoke of and showed... more
	“Happy! Happy! Happy! - Columbus, OH” I'm at 5 weeks after upper eyelid surgery. I was awake and really didn't know I would be! Had muscle, fat, and skin (of course) taken. Eyelids came to the tip of my eyelashes and now my eyes are so open! (I'm 56.) Insurance paid. Had very little bruising and swelling except had allergic reaction at day 3 to my salve. Woke up with awful swelling and itching. Changed salve and ok... more
	“I Love Seeing my Eyes Again -...” I had both upper and lower eyelids done as part of a face and neck lift on May 23, 2011.
