I'm not concerned about the day of as I can hold off on breastfeeding for one day but, any medications that might be prescribed after. Is this possible to do now?

Answer: Upper eyelid lift Most of the time, this is done in the office with local anesthesia and most of our patients never end up needing prescription medication afterwards, but unless there's a really good reason, you might want to wait to be less involved in the care of the baby so that in case there's a problem or a complication from the surgery, the baby's needs will not be affected.

Answer: Upper eyelid surgery while breastfeeding You can have an upper blepharoplasty under local anesthesia while you are breastfeeding. I see no issues with this procedure. The day of the surgery you should have enough breast milk pumped so that you will not need to breast feed until later that day or the next day. I know of no contraindications to the procedure. We do not put our patients on any pain medications after the procedure and our restrictions are to not lift greater than 20 pounds. I am sure you can find a surgeon in your area. I have had patients have nose procedures in the past while breastfeeding while they are off from work on medical leave so I think it is a reasonable procedure for you to do.
