Asked By:Jay7032 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I am looking into getting upper blepharoplasty for my right eye (local anaesthesia) because the eyelid is fairly droopy and I want them to match. I am just wondering how safe the procedure is? Specifically in terms of blindness? Is blindness a risk and how likely is it? What would cause blindness after this procedure?
