Eyelid surgery with dry eyes
Question asked: - 14. 09. 2024
Good day, I am 46 years old and I am thinking about eyelid surgery due to loose skin. However, I have a problem with dry eyes, which are often red and itchy. Should I consult an eye specialist before deciding on surgery?

Good day! Dry eyes can be a problem during eyelid surgery, as additional irritation may occur after the procedure. I recommend that you first consult with an ophthalmologist so that he can assess the condition of your eyes and recommend the appropriate treatment. If the eyes are stable and well treated before surgery, blepharoplasty can be safe. Also, inform me of any health problems before the operation, so that we can ensure the best possible result and minimize the risk.

I broke my nose as a child, which is now crooked and makes it difficult for me to breathe on the right side. I am 25 years old and I am thinking about surgery. Is the surgery painful? Can you tell me more about the postoperative course and how long I will have to stay in the hospital?
