I had a stent put in 1 year ago but am off the plavix. Now on the aspirin , lisinopril and carvedilol. Can I have upper and lower eyelid surgery?
Answer: Medications and eyelid surgery You can have eyelid surgery but you must stop your aspirin 10 days prior to your operation. It would be wise for your plastic surgeon to discuss your case with your primary care doc of cardiologist. Earl Stephenson Jr MD DDS FACS

Answer: Eyelid surgery following stent placement One can have eyelid surgery if your blood pressure is under control with medication, and your cardiologist will allow you to stop your aspirin 2 weeks before and after surgery. I suggest you discuss this with cardiologist prior to seeking consultation with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery Many asymptomatic patients with stable cardiac issues can have elective aesthetic surgery, but only under the following conditions: 1) cardiac clearance from your Cardiologist, 2) Hypertension that is under control, 3) ability to remain off of anicoagulant medication and/or anti-platelet medication. The critical factor will be in the hands of your Cardiologist. Good Luck!

Answer: Eyelid surgery possible? Certainly you may be able to have eyelid surgery, but you will need medical clearance from your cardiologist. You will also need to be off of Aspirin for about a week. Sometimes the procedure can be done with local anesthesia also, which would make the procedure more safe for you.
