This depends on whether, or not, your diabetes is controlled with diet and oral medication or you require insulin injections. Diabetes is a disease of small vessels and a s such delays healing and the blood supply to tissues that are dissected during any surgical procedure. Smaller areas of dissection, like eyelids are far less vulnerable than larger areas like face, neck and abdomen. Diabetics that are well controlled through diet, exercise and oral medication are consider less at risk than those requiring insulin. IMHO, in either case a lower eyelid surgery should not be contra-indicated however, the MD treating your diabetes will have to clear you for surgery most likely.
