In my experience patients have done it both ways. You just want to check with each surgeon that the first surgery is completely healed before undertaking the second.
Cataract surgery has gotten much less traumatic. Still, upper eyelid ptosis after cataract surgery still is seen. For that reason, if you are on the cusp of needing cataract surgery, have it first. If any ptosis does develop after surgery that does not resolve on its own, it can be addressed at the time of the blepharoplasty. Now it is notoriously difficult to predict when someone is really ready for cataract surgery. So if this remains simply something that your ophthalmologist mentioned and not really a clinical issue at the moment, it is reasonable to proceed with eyelid surgery.
Thank you for sharing your question. The order of surgery does not matter. Make sure experienced specialists perform each procedure. Good luck,
In general, I would recommend having the intraocular lens surgery first. However, it would be prudent to see both your plastic surgeon and your ophthalmologist before either surgery so that they can communicate and then coordinate the best surgical plan for you.
Hello,Neither of your surgeries should have a significant impact on the other, assuming you are fully healed and recovered from the first surgery. You should discuss each operation with your respective surgeons and make a decision based on the timing of your recovery as it relates to your personal/social schedule, as the recovery from these two surgeries will be different for each. Good luck.
I recommend seeing an oculoplastic surgeon unrelated to your surgeon for a second opinion. No one should be nonchalant to this. While you may heal beautifully, it is also possible that you will have permanent damage from this infection. The American Society for Ophthalmic Plastic and Re...

Thank you for sharing your question. You probably would benefit with injection of fillers in the depressed area. See a specialist in this region of the face. Good luck,
Hello, It's normal to have some level of anxiety about your results after undergoing surgery. Two weeks just too early to evaluate what type of result you're going to have. You should have a good sense of your eyelid position after about 10-12 weeks, although your wounds will continue to heal...
Thanks for posting GREAT Photos! Look in the mirror and lift you skin above your brow. If that looks good to you you need a brow lift and Not a blepharoplasty. It will eliminate the skin excess, raise your brow and can be done thru a small scar which will not be seen.
Thank you for sharing your question. The eyelids you prefer have eyebrows which are ptotic (droopy). Lowering your eyebrows to the position shown would be inappropriate. From the photos, your eyelids look fine. See an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and discussion...
