In consideration of Blepharoplasty surgery, my doctor suggests using a cocktail of Valium, Demerol and Xanax for the in office procedure, along with local anesthetic. Does this sound like too much of the same type of medication?

Answer: Medication for Blepharoplasty 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. Dr. P

Answer: Oral medication for blepharoplasty
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!
