Is It Safe to Have Blepharoplasty After Juvederm Injection?

April 15, 2009
Asked By:Apple123 in Toronto, KS

Can you have an upper Blepharoplasty done if you have undereye/eye contour filler, such as Juvederm in place? The filler is in the tear trough area but extends outwards under the eye. Should I mention this to my surgeon?
