The Best Candidates for Eyelid Surgery

The best candidates for eyelid surgery are men and women who are physically healthy and psychologically stable. Most of our Mississauga / Toronto eyelid surgery patients are 35 or older, but if droopy, baggy eyelids run in your family, you may decide to have eyelid surgery at a younger age.

Medical conditions such as thyroid problems, hypothyroidism, Graves' disease, high blood pressure or other circulatory disorders, cardiovascular disease or diabetes make blepharoplasty more risky. If you suffer from a detached retina or glaucoma you should check with your ophthalmologist before you have surgery.

While blepharoplasty can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, it may not change your looks to match your ideal. It is important that you carefully deliberate about your expectations and discuss them with your plastic surgeon before undergoing the operation.
