There are many long-term effects of having lower blepharoplasty, but it is still unclear whether there are any long-term effects on the eyesight. The most common long-term result of lower blepharoplasty is dry eye syndrome. It can lead to corneal ulcers, inflammation, and scarring. Other possible side effects include recurrent corneal erosions, keratitis sicca, and limbal stem cell deficiency.
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin from around the eyes and reshapes the eyelids. This procedure may be for cosmetic or medical reasons. While these procedures are typically safe, some patients may develop complications such as dry eye syndrome or other eye problems after undergoing this surgery.
