I just have my Lasik done in Jan 09, currently planning for the upper blepharoplasty in May 09? It is around 4 months interval. What are the risks that I should be aware of? What is the worst complication?
Answer: No major risks but a few things to be aware of In general, there are no major problems with blepharoplasty after lasik. However, dry eye syndrome is beleived to be more common, particularly after lower eyelid bleph following lasik. The usual recommendation is to wait 6 months.

Answer: Usually there is no problem with blepharoplasty after Lasik There is a very small chance that your prescription can change ever so slightly after blepharoplasty and this is due to a change in tear film. If your eyes are dry, you want to be cautious after LASIK, because blepharoplasty too soon after can have this effect. If your eyes are well lubricated, then there shouldn't be a problem.

Answer: Proceed when Lasik surgeon assesses it's safe A question more commonly asked nowadays, but there are few scientific papers that address when it safe to proceed and what complications may be more prevalent if blepharoplasty is done too soon. If your eyes are "not dry" and your lasik surgeon gives you the go ahead, it is most likely safe to proceed. The actual blepharoplasty surgery will not affect the lasik surgery but the timing of such is important to avoid eye complications or side effects.

Answer: Few precautions for Blepharoplasty Lasik surgery could increase your chances of having dry eye syndrome if you undergo lower lid surgery. If you have no symptoms of dryness now you should be fine with an upper bleph. Make sure you inform your plastic surgeon regarding the lasik surgery.More conservative skin removal is always safer in this case.

Answer: Beware of dry eye syndrome Lasik surgery will cause your cornea to dry somewhat. It takes several months to heal and return to your normal tear film. Follow up with your Lasik surgeon for a clearance to proceed with blepharoplasty. Good luck!
