Obese and want a blepharoplasty. Would I be a good candidate?

Before surgery, you will need a pre surgical clearance.  The elevated blood pressure may require medical management.  Given your weight you may also have sleep apnea which is associated with obesity and hypertension.  Some individuals who are obese develop type II diabetes.   These are all medical conditions that can be managed prior to surgery.  Depending on the precise medical issues, this will have a bearing on your tolerance to surgery.  Having said that, it is improbable that these medical issues will prevent you from having eyelid surgery.  The next issue is what type of double fold surgery do you need. Some surgeons perform these in their office under local anesthesia and no monitoring.  I highly recommend that you only have surgery in an accredited surgery center with an anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist in attendance where you can be carefully monitored during surgery and medical issues that might emerge during surgery can be effectively managed.  

Thank you for sharing your question. Obesity is not a contraindication to blepharoplasty, but blood pressure should be under control prior to surgery. Good luck,
