While eyelid surgery and brow lifts are generally safe, like any surgical procedure, they do carry some risks. Potential complications include infection, bleeding, scarring, and reactions to anesthesia. You might also experience temporary or permanent changes in sensation, dry eyes, or difficulty closing your eyes. Rarely, there can be more serious issues such as vision changes or nerve damage. Dr. Brownlee will thoroughly discuss these risks with you during your consultation and take every precaution to minimize them, ensuring your safety and satisfaction.
