I really want to get a blepharoplasty, but I am nervous of stroke risk. My mom had a bleph at 52 & a severe debilitating stroke soon after. Now paralyzed and in a nursing home. Stroke risk is high in my family having my aunt and grandmother also having had one. I'm very unhappy with the heaviness of my eyes, but have kids & don't want to end up like my mom. Although I'm not a smoker, it's a high genetic risk. Please advise.
