Question:
I want to improve my eyesight as well as my eye appearance. Should I have Lasik prior to or after my blepharoplasty?
Answer:
Generally speaking, I recommend that people have any medical type procedures before they have cosmetic procedures to rule out any secondary complications from the cosmetic work. So I would tell you to go ahead and get the Lasik surgery and then within a month or two after, if that is successful, go ahead and have your blepharoplasty.
