Can Lasik surgery be combined with eyelid surgery? I would rather only have one surgery but I want both procedures...Would it be hard to find a doctor who can do both?

Answer: You cannot combine eyelid surgery with Lasik surgery in one sitting.
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.

Answer: Don't have concurrent Lasik and blepharoplasty
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.

Answer: LASIK and 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.
