I have had cataract surgery in both eyes. Will surgery in upper and lower lids be safe?

 It’s common to perform Blepharoplasty after cataract surgery. However,
one should wait at least 6 months and consult with an ophthalmologist to prevent or minimize a
dry eye problem. This should be done in the

hands of a Board Certified Plastic
Surgeon with expertise in cosmetic surgery.

Yes it is ok to proceed with upper and lower blepharoplasties as long as your opthamologist has cleared you. It is vital to do your research prior to proceeding with your procedure. One way to start is to visit ASPS website which will provide you with board certified plastic surgeons in your region. Good luck.

 Upper and lower blepharoplasty can be done usually 4 to 6 weeks after cataract surgery. Check with your ophthalmologist to be certain. Make sure you see a very experienced blepharoplasty surgeon for your eyelids.
