Steven Wallach, MD answers: Laser eye correction before or after Blepharoplasty?

When is it better to have eye laser correction before or after Blepharoplasty? I have a bags on a lower eyelid and thinking to have a plastic surgery. Also I need to do eye laser treatment. Which surgery should be first?

Laser eye treatment can promote dry eye.  Blepharoplasty patients with dry eye issues raise red flags. It is best to have the laser eye treatment after the blepharoplasty( once it heals).
