Does Blepharoplasty Require General Anesthesia?

Good day,I have a question. I'm interested in getting blepharoplasty but am wondering if it requires general anesthesia? I really want to undergo the procedure, but I'm scared of being put under.

Hello,Blepharoplasty can indeed be performed under local anesthesia, which is often sufficient for this type of procedure. This allows for a more comfortable experience without the need for full unconsciousness. If you have concerns about anesthesia, it's important to discuss them with your surgeon who can explain the process and help determine the best approach for your specific situation.

Hi! Blepharoplasty can often be performed under local anesthesia, especially if it's just the eyelids being worked on. Many patients opt for this if they're anxious about general anesthesia. You'll be awake but the area will be numbed, so you shouldn't feel any pain during the procedure. It's a common choice for those who prefer to avoid general anesthesia.

Hello! From my experience, you don't necessarily need general anesthesia for blepharoplasty. The procedure can be done under local anesthesia with sedation. This means you'll be relaxed and pain-free, but not completely unconscious. It's less daunting than general anesthesia and recovery is usually quicker.

That’s a valid concern! Many clinics offer blepharoplasty under local anesthesia with or without sedation, depending on your comfort level and the extent of the procedure. This way, you can avoid the risks and side effects associated with general anesthesia. Make sure to discuss all anesthesia options with your surgeon to find what best suits your needs.

Hi, I also had concerns about general anesthesia. For blepharoplasty, surgeons often use local anesthesia, sometimes combined with mild sedation. This keeps you comfortable and alert without the deeper unconsciousness that comes with general anesthesia. Talk to your doctor about these options, as they can tailor the sedation level based on your anxiety and health needs.

What is the cost of a deep plane facelift combined with an upper eyelid blepharoplasty? I’m curious about the pricing for both procedures together and whether combining them affects the overall cost. Could you provide an idea of the typical price range for these surgeries

Please help, I'm really stressed out about this. It’s been two months since I had upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Now, I feel like my eyes are uneven. Is this even possible, or am I just imagining things? No one has mentioned it because I always wear eyeliner, so it’s not very noticeable.
