Can I still have blepharoplasty if I have to wear glasses or contact lenses?

Absolutely. I actually recommend that people at least wear frames after surgery to help camouflage any redness, swelling or bruising in the undereye area. Usually, you would need to wait 2-3 weeks to wear contacts after surgery but you can wear your glasses in the recovery room immediately following surgery. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

The use of corrective lenses does not prevent you from undergoing a blepharoplasty.  In general, you will need to refrain from using contact lenses in the post-operative period but can use eyeglasses once the immediate swelling has resolved.  It is best to be evaluated by a surgeon who specializes in eyelid surgery and to undergo an examination so that they can better guide you on your specific case.      

It is perfectly acceptable to undergo a blepharoplasty procedure and wear glasses or contacts afterwards. It is important not to wear contacts for  at least 2 weeks after the blepharoplasty procedure. Glasses may be worn in the immediate postoperative period.
