Radio frequency after upper blepharoplasty

Question

Would radio frequency therapy reduce swelling and even out lines after upper blepharoplasty? Is it safe to do this therapy on the eyelids?

Caner Kacmaz, MD · Answer

Radio frequency does not even out lines after blepharoplasty surgery. I wouldn’t recommend it for you

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

From your photograph, you appear to have asymmetry of the eyebrows, one eyebrow is lower than the other.  The wrinkles of the skin in the upper eyelid area is from your eyebrows hanging downward.  You would benefit from a brow lift, not from radio frequency to the eyelids.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

I don’t think radio frequency treatment is going to do much for your upper eyelids.
I’m not sure if anybody can tell you if there is a risk to your eyeball but considering the proximity I would probably stay on the side of caution
Especially since the benefit is virtually nothing.
Other providers may have different views on this.
