Eyelid plastic surgery is almost always performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia.  Before surgery, your North Iowa Eye Clinic surgeon will perform an eye examination and make recommendations.  Photographs and side-vision testing are often required by insurance companies before upper eyelid surgery.
