Is Upper and Lower Eye Lid Surgery Dangerous for a Person Who Has a Dry Eye Condition and High Blood Pressure?

If you suffer from dry eye syndrome, eyelid surgery could be dangerous, especially the upper lid if too much skin and muscle are removed. The eye may not close completely. Lower lid surgery, if overdone can create a problem of scleral show or worse ectropion with the same result. A very experienced plastic surgeon may be willing to discuss your options. As far as your blood pressure is concerned, your internal or family doctor would need to clear you for surgery. At PREMIERE Center, we have been practicing the blepharoplasty surgical procedure for over 19 years with our board certified plastic surgeons on staff ready to consult with you at either our Coral Gables / Tampa locations. Best of luck
