Are you awake during blepharoplasty surgery (upper eyelid)?

June 22, 2020
Asked By:travisssfrommaryland in Maryland, MD

I heard that blepharoplasty is usually done with local anesthesia. I'm concerned because I definitely don't want to see anything during this type of surgery. Can I do it while sleeping? If yes, how do I not see anything if (I suppose) my eyes are exposed?
