Question:
If you completely remove the eyelids for blepharoplasty and then reattach them, do you then lose feeling in your eyelids after surgery?
Answer:
I am not certain why anyone would completely remove an eyelid during blepharoplasty or any other surgical procedure other than for the treatment of cancer. If in an unfortunate circumstance you were to lose your eyelid, if the eyelid was reattached you would regain sensation to the newly grafted eyelid over time.
