Will it make any difference to the final result? I think I would find it easier to cope mentally with doing lowers first, then uppers. Obviously, I realise this will be more expensive and involve two recovery periods.

Answer: There should be no down side to have both the upper and the lowers at the same time. The downside for doing them separately is two recovery periods. Surgical closers don't like it because their job is to close you on as much surgery as possible. The best reason for doing the uppers and lowers separately is it is what makes you are comfortable. End of discussion. Do what you want. If the potential surgeon does not like it, they can get over it or better, consider finding a different surgeon.

Answer: Upper and lower bleph Thank you for your question. There really no benefit to doing an upper and lower bleph separately. As part of the lower bleph a small incision is often required in the upper eyelid to do a canthopexy to tighten the lower eyelid. That incision can be part of the incision for an upper blepharoasty. If you are planning to do both I would recommend doing both together. The addition of the upper bleph is really quite minimal and also allows you to group your recovery. All the best,
