Blepharoplasty Benefits
& Risks Explained By
Certified Eyelid Surgery
Expert
Over the past decade, blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, has seen a
surge in popularity around the globe. It has become one of the top 5 most
commonly performed cosmetic operations in the U.S., U.K., and
elsewhere. 
 To help combat misinformation about the
risks and complications, a new awareness
and education campaign created by Dr.
Harvey “Chip” Cole III, MD, FACS, Quadruple
Board Certified Surgeon, highlights important
information from several recent studies.
After more than 33 years of experience, and 33,000 operations, Dr. Chip Cole
has become internationally recognized as an expert in ocular operations, and
become more commonly known as “The Eye Guy.”
His new educational campaign
focuses on several thorough and
recent studies, which have all
come to the same conclusion.
As one paper concluded, "The complications of blepharoplasty are
infrequent, most often minor and transient, and rarely major and
permanent with functional or aesthetic consequences." 
The common conclusion among recent
studies has been that while risks and
complications exist, as they do with any
procedure, an experienced practitioner
can vastly reduce your chances of
complications in several ways.
The most effective method one study found was pre-screening
patients with a high risk of complications, due to other factors.
While these high-risk patients can still
undergo the procedure, they should
have the potential complications
explained in-depth before they make a
final decision. 
The research found that while there are many possible complications,
most of the potential issues are either extremely unlikely with
thorough pre-screening, temporary, or minor and reversible.
One common example is a
change in the frequency of
blinking and partial blinking of
patients during post-operative
healing.
The study found that these changes were only temporary, and
patients’ blinking returned to normal within one month after the
procedure.
In an age of misinformation and out-of-context
quotations, it can be hard to make sure what
you're learning is truly accurate. The best option
is always to go straight to the source, and get
your facts directly from the best experts in the
field.
