Eyelid Surgery & Injectable Fillers with Myasthenia Gravis

June 24, 2011
Asked By:hibiscus42

I have had Myasthenia Gravis for about 15yrs and have not been on any medication for over 3yrs. Back then I did have some eyelid drooping, facial slackness & limb weakness. Symptoms now mild & just some limb weakness. I am 42 & interested in eyelid surgery and fillers but wondered about risks. My MG doctor is a bit vague (am the only MG patient he has!) so I wanted to get a surgeon's perspective. thanks :)
