What are the risks or complications associated with blepharoplasty?
Patients should be informed that every surgical procedure carries certain risks and the potential for complications. Potential complications associated with blepharoplasty may include the following: bleeding, difficulty in completely closing the eyes, dry eyes, infection, pulling down of the lower lids, slight asymmetry in healing or scarring, swelling at the corners of the eyelids, temporary blurred or double vision, and whiteheads. To help ensure a good outcome, it is important to select an experienced facial plastic surgeon such as Dr. Clevens. Dr. Clevens performs over 250 sets of eyelid procedures each year.
