Am I a good candidate for eyelid surgery?
If you are basically satisfied with your eyelids but one or more of the following situations apply to you, blepharoplasty surgery may be an option for you:

Loose or sagging skin that creates folds or disturbs the natural contour of the eyes
Excess fatty deposits that appear as puffiness in the upper eyelids
Bags under the eyes
Droopiness of the lower eyelids,
Excess skin and fine wrinkles of the lower eyelid

What happens when I see Dr Lim?
Your first consultation with Dr Lim will take around 45 minutes and you are most welcome to bring a friend or husband/partner along to your consultation. During the consultation, Dr Lim will take the time to discuss the procedure with you, the changes you desire and any other issues related to the appearance of your eyelids that you feel are important to you. This will help Dr Lim understand your expectations and determine if they are achievable. Dr Lim will explain the risks of surgery and discuss the methods of blepharoplasty surgery with you. During your consultation, your eyelids will be assessed and a few measurements and photographs will be taken to plan the procedure. You will be given a written quotation and information to take home to read. You do not have to make the decision to proceed with the surgery at this initial consultation.

How will Dr Lim evaluate me for surgery?
Dr Lim will examine your eyelids and consider such factors as the size and shape of your eyelids, the quality of your skin and the position. You should come to the consultation prepared to discuss your medical history. This will include information about any medical conditions you may have, any medications you are currently taking, any drug allergies you have, other medical treatments you have received and any previous surgery you may have had.

How should I prepare for surgery?
Products that contain Aspirin, vitamin E or Evening Primrose Oil should be avoided for four weeks before surgery. The use of Vitamin K is recommended for three days prior to the surgery. Alcohol should also be avoided prior to the surgery along with stop smoking two weeks before and for a week after surgery.

On the day of surgery, the patient should wear comfortable, loose clothing preferably not clothes that need to be pulled over the head and face. No make-up is to be worn on the day of surgery, including nail polish.

Where will my Blepharoplasty surgery be performed?
Dr Lim performs the surgery in fully accredited hospitals: Castle Hill Hospital, Holroyd Private Hospital, The Hills Private Hospital and Westmead Private Hospital. Blepharoplasty procedures are performed under general anaesthetic and you can expect to be in hospital for between one to two day.
