Can you be awake during eyelid surgery? For a small number of ptosis surgery patients, yes, and on purpose. Dr. Kian Eftekhari, board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon at the Eyelid Center of Utah, explains why waking a patient up mid-surgery during anterior ptosis repair can be the difference between a perfect result and eyelid retraction or a botched outcome, what being awake actually feels like, and why the most common surgery in the world, cataract surgery, is performed on patients who are awake 99% of the time.
