Hello, I have done glaucoma and cataract surgery before and I had a tube shunt in the eye, I have severe droopy eyelid on the eye that has the issue. And it’s kinda blocking my eyes, I have tried raising the excess skin up to see how I would look if I had the upper eyelid surgery and the tube shunt isn’t showing and I don’t have dry eyes at all. Will I be able to get it.
Answer: Potentially but you will need opthalmology clearance You will potentially benefit from Upper Blepharoplasty but you will need clearance from opthalmology clearance in order to be considered for the surgery

Answer: Eyelid surgery after cataract and glaucoma surgery There is no clear reason why having cataract and glaucoma tube shunt surgery should preclude you from an upper blepharoplasty. However, there is a strong chance based on your description that you also have a weakness in the muscle that holds the upper eyelid up, and you may also need a ptosis repair, where in addition to skin removal, the muscle the lifts the eye is also tightened. Best to visit an oculoplastic surgeon for more personalized advice.Dr Samimi

Answer: Upper blepharoplasty It is very difficult to comment on this problem without photos and full info about your eye issues. It is very likely that upper blepharoplasty would be possible in your case but it should be discussed between your plastic surgeon and treating ophthalmologist. Hope this helps.

Answer: I've had cataract and glaucoma surgery. Will I be able to get upper eyelid surgery? Whether you can undergo upper eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) after having cataract and glaucoma surgery depends on several factors, including your overall health, the specific surgical techniques used in your previous eye surgeries, and the recommendations of your eye specialist or ophthalmologist.
