Upper Blepharoplasty: 3 Questions About Eye Protectors/Shields During the Operation
779296anonSep 26, 2012
1) Do eye protectors have to be used during the upper blepharoplasty operation? (mainly skin will be removed/paid by insurance) 2) If so, will they be uncomfortable for the patient with having only local anesthesia along with oral sedation? On youtube Blep videos, they seemed awkward and that they may hurt. 3) If they are not used, is there a safety issue? If they are uncomfortable, I am thinking that that may be a factor in choosing to have the IV versus what I desire as noted above.
