Can One Get a Blepharoplasty After Fillers?

September 28, 2011
Asked By:Tretion in Morristown, NJ

Is it possible to get a blepharoplasty after fillers? Fillers are the less drastic option so I'd prefer to see what effect they have first before I consider a blepharoplasty, but I don't know if the injection of fillers then makes surgery in that area impossible or more complicated. Note that the issues with my eyes are significant excess skin causing deep folds/wrinkles (visible even when not smiling), and somewhat sunken eyes. Both of these have only developed in the last couple years.
