I have comorbidities. Can I have blepharoplasty surgery? This has been a frequent question on our social media and other service channels. The answer? Yes, comorbidities do not prevent the surgery.
Patients with hypertension, heart disease and, especially, diabetes can undergo blepharoplasty, as long as all of these conditions are treated with medication and kept under control.
It is worth noting that before any surgical procedure, we request preoperative tests, as well as a clinical assessment by the physicians who manage these patients and follow them on a day-to-day basis. These professionals send a letter to our team with information about their patients' surgical risks.
There is an international classification that determines, according to surgical risk, which precautions should be taken in each case. Thus, with their comorbidities well controlled, patients with hypertension, heart disease and diabetes can undergo surgery without major problems.
