Possible Complications with Connecticut Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

Possible Complications

Eyelid Lift rarely produces a serious complication. Any form of surgery will leave scars. With an Connecticut eyelid lift in our Westport medical offices, the scars are placed within natural eyelid folds and facial lines so that they are inconspicuous and rarely detectable. Nevertheless, you should be aware that scars are permanent, and their width, height, and color are not totally predictable.

Westport, Connecticut, patients occasionally ask if blindness can result from this procedure. While this complication has been reported, it is exceedingly rare. Lesser complications include improper closure of the eyes during sleep (lagophthalmus), dryness of the eyes, light sensitivity and sagging (ptosis) of the upper eyelids. It is important to enter into your procedure aware not only of the benefits, but also of the possible complications. You can talk to Board Certified Connecticut Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Singer, about every question and concern you may have during your consultation.
