Could this be from damage to the cords caused by the ET tube used in anesthesia? My Dad has offered to pay for me to have a blepharoplasty (plastic surgery, an eye job, he feels like the droopy eyelid gene came from him and that he should pay for it) but I am dragging my feet. The surgeon likes to do them under general anesthesia but I don't really want to be intubated unless it is an emergency. Hmmmmmm.
