Can Both Upper and Lower Eyelids Be Done at the Same Time?
Answer: Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty
When a patient is a good candidate for upper and lower blepharoplasty, I recommend that they have the surgeries done at the same time as recovery is simultaneous not sequential for the most part. Most patients actually prefer to have the procedures done together because it saves them time; they will have only one recovery period as opposed to two and it costs less as there is a savings on the OR and anesthesia costs, and it provides balance to the appearance of your eyes as both upper and lower will be healing together

Answer: Upper and lower eyelid surgery can be done at the same time Both upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) can be done at the same time, assuming the patient is a candidate for both procedures. The benefit to having the two procedures done at the same time is one recovery period and a reduction in cost. The primary goal for upper eyelid surgery is to remove excess eyelid skin creating the tired look. The primary goal for lower eyelid surgery is to remove the fat bags creating the puffy look.

Answer: In short: Yes
It surely can be done at once. In fact, if the patient is a good candidate for both upper and lower blepharoplasty, it is best for the patient to get the surgeries done at once. This not only drops the patient's post op recovery from 2 episodes to 1, it may also decrease the total cost of anesthesia, since its only one operative setting instead of two.

Answer: Yes to upper and lower eyelid at the same time.
Both upper and lower blepharoplasty are rountinly and safely done at the same surgery. Combining them reduces the cost, results in 1 recovery, not 2, and improves the balance of the result as both lids are rejuvenated at the same time. If you are considering doing both, it's an excellent option.

Answer: Combined upper and lower eyelid surgery #blepharoplasty are routinely performed together, safe Combined upper and lower eyelid surgery #blepharoplasty are routinely performed together, safe. An advantage of performing these procedures together is that you need only undergo a single surgical procedure and a single instance of IV sedation (twilight anesthesia). The other upside is that rejuvenating both the upper and lower eyelids provides balance. If a board-certified plastic surgeon has recommended upper and lower eyelid procedures, rest assured that they are routinely and safely performed together.
