Are There Risks And Complications?

As with any surgical procedure, there are possible risks and complications. For eyelid surgery, the following are possible:

• Bleeding

• Infection

• Blood clots

• Visible scars

• Tightness in lids

• Drooping lower lids

• Dryness

• Partial vision loss in one eye (extremely rare)

• Blindness (extremely rare)

Usually, these conditions improve within weeks. Occasionally, however, these conditions are permanent, or further surgical procedures are necessary to correct them.
