Can I drive home after eyelid surgery?

Question:

Will I be able to drive home after my eyelid surgery?

Answer:

I would not suggest planning on driving home after your blepharoplasty procedure. If you have upper eyelid blepharoplasty performed under local anesthesia you will still have discomfort and swelling that will preclude you from driving home safely. I can arrange for a car service to bring you home and settle you in after your blepharoplasty procedure if that is necessary.
