Can cataract surgery of one eye be performed at the same time as an upper blepharoplasty?

Asked By:mbwoods

I’ve had cataract surgery of my Left eye and now need my right and am curious if I could do eye lid surgery of the upper lids at the same time to avoid two surgeries! If so, is an ophthalmologist or plastic surgeon the one I should see as I went to an ophthalmologist for the first cataract surgery. I know he doesn’t do eyelid surgery and I’m having a hard time finding a doctor that would do both at the same time, so I’m not sure if it’s possible! Thanks!!!
