First you should know if you are a good candidate for blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). Anyone who has dry eyes should have an ophthalmologic evaluation to determine the degree of dryness as it can worsen in the postoperative phase.

A patient should have specific goals in mind regarding how you hope blepharoplasty will change the appearance of your eyes and if you want both upper and lower blepharoplasty done at the same time.

It is wise to do some research for a surgeon who is board certified and experienced in performing successful blepharoplasties.
