What risks or complications are associated with eyelid surgery?
The results of eyelid surgery are generally long-lasting. Upper eyelid surgery can last 5 to 7 years or more, while lower eyelid surgery often has more permanent results. Although aging will continue naturally, most patients see a significant improvement in their appearance for many years. Good skincare and sun protection can help prolong the results.
Eyelid surgery performed by an experienced, board-certified surgeon is designed to preserve natural eye function, so issues like difficulty blinking or closing the eyes are rare. However, over-removal of skin can cause complications, which is why selecting a skilled surgeon is essential. Some temporary tightness is normal and usually resolves as the area heals.
Scars from eyelid surgery are generally minimal and well-hidden. For upper eyelid surgery, incisions are typically placed within the natural crease of the eyelid, and for lower eyelid surgery, they are often located just below the lash line or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach). Over time, these scars fade significantly, and with proper care, they become nearly invisible.
Yes, eyelid surgery is often combined with other procedures like a brow lift, facelift, or non-surgical treatments like Botox and dermal fillers for a comprehensive rejuvenation. Combining procedures can provide a more balanced, refreshed appearance and may reduce the need for multiple recovery periods.
Eyelid surgery is generally safe when performed by a qualified surgeon, but like any surgery, it carries some risks. Potential complications include infection, dry eyes, difficulty closing the eyes, scarring, and, rarely, changes in vision. Following pre- and post-operative instructions and choosing a skilled, board-certified surgeon can significantly reduce these risks.
