Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) timing with extractions
Definitely, a close coordination with your surgeon who performed you surgery is recommended. Depending on where around the eyes the surgery was performed and the positions of the teeth to be exracted, timing would be important. If there are infections in the gums, this can also complicate things. Also dangers of over pulling on healing eyelid tissues are a concern. Have the dentist and you physician work close. Good luck!

There should not be contraindications to dental procedures after blepharoplasty
As long as there are no other medical contraindications there should not be an issue with dental procedures after eyelid surgery.
I would recommend to wait until she has comfortably recovered from the surgery and the incisions are no longer painfull. Probably around one month or so.
Hope this helps
