There are several different anesthesia options for eyelid surgery. It depends on the preferences of the patient and the surgeon, and how complicated or lengthy the case may be. One option is local anesthetic with or without sedation. Another option would be to be asleep briefly while the surgeon injects local anesthetic into the surgical field. Another option would be a general anesthetic. You should discuss your preferences and concerns with your surgeon before you schedule the surgery to be certain that you understand each other. If you will need an anesthesia provider, it will of course also be necessary to include them in the discussion and scheduling. Good luck!
It can be done with sleep and without, with local anesthesia.
Yes you can be put to sleep or if you are confident, you could have sedation and local anaesthesia.
Eyelid surgeries could be done under local anesthesia only.
