What are the possible risks

Risks include temporary swelling, bruising, asymmetry, dry eyes, and mild irritation. For upper blepharoplasty, temporary difficulty closing the eyes fully (lagophthalmos) may occur in the early healing period. For lower blepharoplasty, ectropion (lower lid pulling) is a rare but known risk. Serious vision-threatening complications are uncommon. Your surgeon will assess your individual risk factors during consultation.
