Disease description:

I already have double eyelids, but possibly due to aging, my eyelids have become slightly droopy. I'm considering going to the hospital for liposuction and would like to ask: are there any side effects or complications associated with double eyelid liposuction?

Eyelid liposuction may lead to complications. For example, during the liposuction procedure, excessive removal of fat from the eyelids can cause local indentation or even adhesions, which may affect the formation of the eyelid crease. Additionally, after undergoing liposuction, patients may experience localized swelling. If proper care is not taken and an infection occurs, it could compromise the surgical outcome, potentially resulting in asymmetrical eyes.
