The cataract surgery was done on both eyes in 2015.
Answer: Blepharoplasty can be performed on an older patient with cataracts. Cataracts are not a contraindication to blepharoplasty. The big issue would be the integrity of the support for the lower lid as well as adequate lubrication for the eyes. The plastic surgeon would do this with the advise and consent of the ophthalmologist.

Answer: Cataracts and blepharoplasty Prior cataract surgery will not effect your ability to get a blepharoplasty. One is in the eyeball, and the other is the eyelid. I personally perform almost all of my eyelid surgery in the office using local anesthetic.

Answer: The important issue with eyelid surgery is not the cataract. The important issue is dry eye. Eyelid surgery will affect eyelid closure. Specialized techniques are generally beneficial in the design of eyelid surgery in the setting of dry eye. I encourage you to find an eyelid surgeon who is also a board certified ophthalmologist to is able to assess the health of the eyes and determine if surgery is appropriate for you.
