Answer: Dr Taban is correct. No these surgeries are never performed together. It sounds great. However, it is strongly advised that they not be done together. If you are speaking to a surgeon who is proposing to do these surgeries together, you are in the wrong office. Have the cataract surgery. Once you have healed at least 6 months, you can consider having the eyelids surgery performed. Seek a fellowship trained oculoplastic surgeon for this work.

Answer: Combined eyelid and cataract surgery ? There is no surgeon that will combine both procedures, although technically it is possible. The reason is simple: it is not safe to do so. It is best to separate the two procedures, even by a few weeks.

Answer: Blepharoplasty and cataract surgery This is not a good combination perform, so separate to 2 procedures at least a month between them. It is a good idea to look for a very experienced cataract surgeon and a very experienced blepharoplasty surgeon for best results
