Can I Combine a Blepharoplasty with Lasik in One Surgery?

Lasik surgery should not be performed with a blepharoplasty. In fact, patients who have undergone lasik surgery should undergo a more thorough preoperative evaluation if they are contemplating a blepharoplasty at a later time.
During your discussion with your physician, emphasize any visual symptoms including dry eyes, changes in vision, or allergic symptoms prior to any procedure on the eye.

Laser
refractive surgery aims to improve the refractive properties of an eye by making a flap in the front window (termed cornea) in the eye, followed by laser
treatment, the surgery often results in some dryness after the surgery and
contact lenses are often placed over the eyes to aid recovery in the short-term
period. I recommend that they
are not completed on the same day and a minimum of 6 weeks to 3 months interval
between the different procedures. 

It is not recommended to combine these two surgeries. LASIK surgery treats the cornea and it is important for the cornea to be well lubricated after LASIK in order to heal. Eyelid surgery, blepharoplasty, can lead to dry eye which can complicate your LASIK surgery. Wait at least 3 months after LASIK before eyelid surgery.

I do not recommend the two procedures be done at the same time. I usually recommend that my patients wait at least  six months after they have had Lasik to have eye lid surgery or after their ophthalmologist clears them medically.  Patients will often have dryness after Lasik surgery and should be well protected after their surgery.

It would be imprudent to try to accomplish both operations at the same time.  The eyelid surgery would have to be done second due to the traction needed to perform the Lasik operation.  Manipulation of the lids could jeopardize the corneal repair.

I would not recommend trying to have your Lasik surgery and blepharoplasty at the same time. You should wait at least 3 months after having had Lasik before considering blepharoplasty surgery. You need to make sure that the corneal flap heals. Also, dry eyes during the Lasik healing process would only be worse if you also had a blepharoplasty.

LASIK and Blepharoplasty should not be performed at the same setting.  Perform LASIK first and then wait a minimum of 3-6 months prior to having a blepharoplasty.

No. Both procedures need to be seprated by at least 6 months. Performing blepharoplasty too soon after lasik may damage the flap that is made durring lasik.

Many people ask about combining procedures. There can be one anesthesia and recovery time. Some combinations just don't work.
Lasik and Blepharoplasty should not be done at the same time. Use of corneal shields during Blepharoplasty may harm the flap done during the Lasik procedure.
After the Blepharoplasty, there is swelling that can interfere with the Lasik surgery.
The physical set up is very different and in most cases not practical.
Bottom line: Don't do them together. Talk with your plastic surgeon and eye surgeon. Together, a plan can be made to get the work done safely.

When considering multiple surgeries, safety trumps convenience; in this case, performing both surgeries at once would simply be unsafe. In fact, I don't know of anyone who would support doing Lasik and Blepharoplasty at the same time. I would recommend that you prioritize your concerns and proceed accordingly in a staged fashion.

The mechanics of the two procedures are in conflict with each other, making them unsafe to perform simulatenously.
Blepharoplasty requires manipulation of the eyelids and there can be post-op swelling which would compromise your ability to protect the eye as is critical post-Lasik.
Lasik surgery requires holding the eyelids open which would compromise the lid repair performed during blepharoplasty.
The risks of combining these procedures significantly increase the chances of blindness - an extremely serious complication.
In our practice we would not recommend combining these procedures.
I hope this helps.
