Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery pivotal for facial rejuvenation with aesthetic connections to the brow and the cheek.1 Excess skin and orbital fat are treated with upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty.1 Several blepharoplasty patients have dry eye disease (DED). Most surgeons avoid blepharoplasty on these patients for fear of exacerbating their condition.2 Surgery guidelines for these patients are scarce.
Preoperative evaluation and perioperative care are the foundation of DED risk reduction.2 Patients with DED should have their symptoms evaluated before surgery to lessen postoperative effects.3
