How soon after cataract surgery can a facelift with eye lift be performed?

Question

Just a random question that I would really like an answer to! If a person has cataract surgery, how long must they wait until a facelift with eyelift can be performed?

Dear ShouldI,Thank you for your question. An eyelift can produce changes such has swelling and dryness that could potentially impact a cataract surgery. Obtain clearance from your ophthalmologist before undergoing additional surgery.Best regards,Nirmal R. Nathan, M.D.

Hi,It is best to ask the ophthalmologist (cataract surgeon) for clearance prior to eyelid surgery. There are instances where patients experience temporary dry eyes with eyelid surgery so it is important to give yourself some time in between to avoid complications. Best,

Dear ShouldiThank you for your question!  The answer really should come from your cataract surgeon. Normal healing time on various body parts is different, and each surgeon has their preferences .With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD
