Special Considerations
Other important things to consider are a history of dry eyes and prior eyelid surgery, both of which need to be evaluated carefully prior to any eyelid surgery by Dr. Zoumalan. Dry eyes must be managed properly by your eye doctor prior to surgery since dry eye symptoms can worsen after eyelid surgery. Dr. Zoumalan will generally not operate on a patient with active dry eye symptoms. Patients with prior eyelid surgery may also be at risk for dry eye symptoms and difficulty closing eyelids after surgery. Having prior eyelid surgery does not exclude you from further surgery, but it is important to see an eyelid specialist such as Dr. Zoumalan for a proper examination to make sure you will be a safe and appropriate candidate.
