Good anesthesia trumps pain in eyelid surgery

Under most circumstances a  patient under IV sedation will not recollect any pain for eyelid surgery. That  said, every person's threshold  for  good IV sedation differs  and that is why a dedicated person administrating the sedation is best. The dept of sedation will determine the perception of pain one realizes. Good local anesthesia, especially when manipulating the medial fat pads will minimize the amount of IV sedation  required. Overall, eyelid surgery is tolerated well even by the most  anxious of patients.
