Can I have an upper bleparoplasty done if I have dry eyes that are controlled with retasis?

Hi, I’m 40 years old and I have developed dry eye syndrome in 2020. I’ve been on Restasis since and I really would like to have an upper bleph but I’m worried about post-op inflammation and worsening of my condition. Is it possible to have an upper bleph if my dry eye symptoms have been controlled with Restasis?
