Valium, Demerol and Xanax: Too Much Medication for Blepharoplasty Surgery?

Hi Helen,
The Valium and Xanax are similar drugs.  I would suggest one or the other.
We usually give our patient Xanax 1 mg and either oral Vicodan or an injection of Demerol if they prefer.  Enjoy your more youthful eye lids.
Good luck and be well.

I usually give patients a 10mg Valium and they do fine. It sounds a little much for my tastes but if your surgeon is comfortable with this dosage and has worked for him or her, it should be ok. You can ask for less of course!
