Eyelid surgery while I'm awake? (Photo)

Almost any eyelid surgery can be performed under local anesthesia. In fact, it is a great way to perform eyelid surgery since the patient can open and close his/her eyes during surgery (as instructed) to provide best symmetric results.

Good morning!Upper eyelid surgery can and is done quite frequently while awake- ptosis surgery in particular is actually better when awake- it allow the surgeon to have you open your eyes and be sure the amount of lid elevation is symmetricI hope this helps
