Risks of Blepharoplasty
Like other surgical procedures, Blepharoplasty has its risks. The common risks of the procedure include bruising, infection, and bleeding. Blood clots are an example of a rare side effect.
Other complications and risks associated with the procedure include:
- Muscle damage [3]
- Blurry vision [4]
- Damage from excessive sun exposure
- Dry eyes [5]
- Scars [6]
- Itchiness around the eye area
- Inability to close your eyes
You can speak with your doctor about these complications before the procedure begins. It would also help to tell your surgeon about any complications that you experience with any surgery in the past.
