When performed by a qualified, experienced surgeon like Dr. Grant, eyelid surgery is very safe. Temporary aftereffects of surgery include bruising, swelling and soreness in the eyelid area.
As with any surgery, there is the risk that eyelid surgery can result in cosmetic or medical complications, particularly if the surgeon performing the operation does not have the experience or skill of Dr. Grant. Possible complications include the following:
Blindness
Double vision
Infection
Bleeding
Dry eyes
Skin discoloration
Eyelid numbness
