Before the operation.

A consultation is necessary to find out whether the problem involves the upper or lower lids, or both.

As well as establishing what will be the best procedure for you, complications and risks are discussed during this consultation which will take around half to three quarters of an hour. The consultation will also cover the 'mechanics' of the procedure, what anaesthetic will be best for you, and any questions you may have regarding the procedure.

You will also be given written pre-operative instructions.
