Question

Hi,

I am trying to decide whether to proceed with a transconjunctival blepharoplasty with fat repositioning surgery.

I have rosacea and sometimes my eyes are dry and burn a little. I had a chalazion two years ago, but none since.  I am concerned of making my eyes worse, or can I proceed safely.

I am really scared of something bad happening.

Thanks

 

Answer

Thanks for your Question

Most of the complications that can occur after transconjunctival blepharoplasty are transient and self limited which means they will disappear with time. Some of these complications are dry eye syndrome, subconjunctival haemorrhage with discoloration of lower eyelid and inability to completely close the eyelids.

Serious complications can occur but are rare especially under a good experienced surgeon. I think you should have a good discussion with your eye surgeon about your concerns.
