Tips for local anesthesia in blepharoplasty.
Successful local anesthesia depends on many factors, but the most important is patient confidence in the surgeon and surgical team.

This requires that the local infiltrative anesthetic injection with Wydase and epinephrine be given prior to preparing, draping, and marking the patient.
