Seb Derm and Blepharoplasty

December 18, 2014
Asked By:tamersbing in Castro Valley, CA

I have seborrheic dermatitis under my eyes and use Protopic to control it. Although the area is a little red, it isn't usually swollen (unless I drink even just a little red wine). The initial seb derm outbreak, 5 years back, caused wrinkles and loose skin under my eyes. Would transconjunctival blepharoplasty be safe under these conditions or would it likely cause a huge flareup that re-creates the original problem? Thanks in advance.
