Can eyelid surgery (for droopy eyelid) be done at the same time or after tear duct cauterization?
Yes, these two procedures may be safely done at the same time... or one and then the other. If you have cosmetic blepharoplasty, you are at less risk for exacerbating dry eye than if you are having ptosis repair. If there is any concern that your dry eye(s) situation may become worse after surgery, then it makes perfect sense to have them done at the same time. Best wishes.
