I’m thinking about getting eyelid retraction correction surgery, but I’m nervous about the risks. Can things like infection, scarring, or the eyelid being too high or too low happen.

I had eyelid surgery for retraction, and recovery was mostly smooth. The eyelids were a bit puffy and dry at first, but that went away. Over- or under-correction is something to be aware of, but it’s usually minor. Complications like infection or vision issues are very uncommon.
I had eyelid retraction surgery last year. The main things I noticed were swelling and some dryness for a few weeks. My eyelids ended up exactly where they should, but there’s always a small risk of over- or under-correction. Infection or scarring is pretty rare, and I didn’t experience any vision changes. Overall, it was a smooth recovery.
Eyelid retraction correction surgery is generally safe, but like any procedure, it has potential risks such as infection, swelling, and scarring. There can also be cases of under-correction or over-correction, where the eyelid position may end up slightly too low or too high. Most of these issues are uncommon and depend on surgical technique and healing response. A detailed evaluation by an experienced oculoplastic surgeon is important before deciding on surgery.
