Candidate for Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery):
If you have any of the following conditions:

- Diabetes.
Patient's Expectations from Blepharoplasty Surgery Should Be Realistic
Regarding your aspirations regarding blepharoplasty, be reasonable. You might feel more confident and look better with eyelid surgery.
However, you shouldn't anticipate a significant change in appearance following surgery. Many people have eyes that seem to be of various sizes or that are not precisely aligned.
Early in the developmental process, asymmetrical traits appear. Your facial structure won't change after a blepharoplasty. Knowing your face well is crucial before deciding to have surgery. Consider your expectations carefully and share them with your surgeon.
How long does a blepharoplasty correction last?
Blepharoplasty does not stop your eyes from aging. But the results usually last a long time. While upper eyelid surgery can last anywhere from five to seven years to a lifetime, lower eyelid surgery rarely needs to be done more than once.
