Will Cheek Filler Interfere with the Success of a Lower Lid Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty?

plasticsurgeryquestionMar 1, 2013
I am scheduled to have cheek filler done next week, but I am also interested in having lower lid transconjunctival blepharoplasty several months from now when I have more time available for the recovery. Will the cheek filler interfere with a surgeons perspective as to how much fat needs to be removed/repositioned in the blepharoplasty surgery. Ideally, I would like to proceed with the filler for now, but not if it will negatively affect my future blepharoplasty results in any way.

It is important that healing after surgery be allowed to proceed normally. Some facial surgeries take longer than others to safely heal & it is best to be cautious with travel. For example, when on a plane that descends and produces increased pressure in the ears, it is sometimes necessary...
