Your surgeon will give you specific instructions on how to prepare for surgery, including guidelines on eating and drinking, smoking, and taking or avoiding certain vitamins and medications.  Carefully following these instructions will help your surgery go more smoothly.

While you’re making preparations, be sure to arrange for someone to drive you home after your surgery, and to help you out for a few days if needed.

Where your surgery will be performed

Eyelid surgery may be performed in a surgeon’s office-based facility, an outpatient surgery center, or a hospital.  It’s usually done on an outpatient basis; rarely does it require an inpatient stay.
