What are the possible risks or side effects

As with any surgical procedure, risks include temporary swelling, bruising, asymmetry, under- or over-correction, dry eyes, and mild irritation. More rare complications such as prolonged edema, contour irregularity, or lower eyelid retraction are uncommon but possible. Serious complications like retrobulbar hematoma are uncommon. Your surgeon will review your individual risk factors during consultation and take every precaution to minimize complications.
