Blepharoplasty patients complain so much here. Any warnings for a patient before committing to this surgery?

On a site like this you are only going to find patients with problems looking for advice.  If they are healing well there is nothing to write about! Lower lid surgery is very tricky, and bad results can occur - especially with surgeons who don't do these cases often, or don't know the anatomy well.  They may also try to remove and wrinkles by puling the skin tight, which only creates complications. Any irregularity is easily seen, and not always easily fixed.For upper lids, in an attempt to tighten skin some surgeons take out too much skin preventing good closure.  You should get referrals from friends who have had a good result.  See a few different surgeons until you feel comfortable.  And make sure you go with someone who does a lot of eyelid surgery.   An oculoplastic surgeon is usually a good start since that is their specialty.  Other specialties also do eyelids, such as facial plastic and general plastic surgeons. Remember that just because someone is a board certified plastic surgeon does not make them a skilled surgeon.  Look at before and afters to see if you like their aesthetics.         

Performing a blepharoplasty procedure is  a delicate and  difficult procedure to  give natural results consistently. Look for a surgeon who has dedicated a significant component of their practice to the discipline eyelid surgery, performs them very often, and has an excellent  results in their before and after  eyelid photo gallery

Hello and thank you for your question.  I agree--lower eyelid blepharoplasty must be carefully considered and you must find a good surgeon.   It is very
important that you thoroughly research your surgeon before committing to
surgery. It is a good idea to research your surgeon's educational background,
online reviews, before & after pictures, and speak with anyone who you may
know who has had surgery with that surgeon. During your consultation, make sure
that you don't feel rushed and make sure that you have adequate time with your
surgeon and not just their patient coordinator or nurses. If the majority of
your consultation is spent with someone other than the surgeon, this is usually
not a good sign. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are
comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified
board-certified expert surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
