Eyelid surgery is a relatively minor procedure, but highly sensitive because it involves the eye area. The patient and the surgeon should have a good rapport and clear communication in order to achieve safe and desirable results with eyelid cosmetic surgery.

A committed surgeon will encourage the patient to ask questions and clear all their doubts and concerns during the pre-op consultation. The patient should ideally have a list of questions ready for asking during this consultation.
