Our partner clinics offer comprehensive blepharoplasty options tailored to your specific needs. From functional improvements to cosmetic enhancements, each procedure is performed with precision and care.
Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from drooping upper eyelids, restoring a more youthful appearance and improving vision when sagging skin obstructs sight. The procedure creates natural-looking creases and can address asymmetry between eyes. Recovery typically takes 7-10 days with minimal scarring hidden in the eyelid fold.
Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags, puffiness, and excess skin, creating a refreshed appearance. Using either a transconjunctival approach (inside the eyelid) or external incision, surgeons remove or reposition fat deposits and tighten loose skin. This procedure effectively reduces dark circles and creates a smoother under-eye contour.
Combined blepharoplasty addresses aging concerns around the entire eye area in one procedure. This comprehensive approach corrects drooping upper lids and under-eye bags simultaneously, providing dramatic rejuvenation. Patients benefit from a single recovery period and harmonious results that frame the eyes beautifully.
When excess upper eyelid skin blocks peripheral vision, functional blepharoplasty becomes a medical necessity. This procedure restores the visual field by removing obstructing tissue, often covered by insurance. Our surgeons document visual field testing and work with insurance providers to support coverage for qualifying patients.
Your eyelid surgery takes place in our outpatient clinic under local anesthesia with sedation – which means you’ll be relaxed but not fully asleep. Here’s what your surgeon will do:
Let’s walk through what to expect as you heal:
You’ll head home the same day as your surgery. Expect some bruising around your eyes – kind of like a black eye. We’ll give you cold packs to help with swelling, and eye drops to keep your eyes comfortable. Sleep with your head propped up on an extra pillow, and try to take it easy. Most people say it’s more uncomfortable than painful.
The bruising starts fading now (concealer is fine to use at this point!), and most folks feel comfortable enough to return to work. Your eyes might still feel a bit tight or watery – that’s normal. The stitches are usually out by now, and you’re starting to see your new look, though some swelling sticks around.
Now you’re getting back to your normal routine. The big changes are visible, but your eyes keep settling into their final shape. You can wear contact lenses again if you use them, and exercise is usually okay. Most people say their eyes feel much more open and bright.
By 3 months, you’re seeing the full results – eyes that look naturally refreshed, not “worked on.” Those tiny incision lines keep fading until they’re practically invisible. The best part? Results typically last for years, especially if you’re good about sun protection.
The results of blepharoplasty can last for many years. Upper eyelid surgery results typically last about 5-7 years, while lower eyelid surgery results are usually permanent.
Blepharoplasty can significantly improve the appearance of your eyes by removing excess skin and fat, leading to a more youthful and rested look. It can also improve vision if sagging skin was obstructing your sight.
Blepharoplasty is typically an outpatient procedure, so most patients can go home the same day. However, you will need someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours.
Initial recovery usually takes about 1-2 weeks. Swelling and bruising should subside significantly within this period, but complete healing can take a few months.
Most people can return to work and normal activities within 7-10 days, depending on the nature of their job and their personal recovery progress.
Blepharoplasty is generally not very painful. Most patients experience mild discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication.
Blepharoplasty is generally safe when performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon. As with any surgery, there are risks and potential complications, which should be discussed with your surgeon.
Many patients find blepharoplasty worth it due to the significant improvement in their appearance and self-esteem. The decision is personal and should be made after thorough consideration and consultation with a qualified surgeon.
Blepharoplasty does leave scars, but they are typically well-hidden in the natural creases of the eyelids or along the lash line and tend to fade over time with proper care.
Yes. Our partner clinics in Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama are accredited facilities with board-certified plastic surgeons who follow international safety protocols. All surgeons have extensive experience in oculoplastic surgery and cosmetic procedures.

Yes. Functional blepharoplasty removes excess upper eyelid skin that blocks peripheral vision. Many insurance plans cover this when medically necessary.
Absolutely. All patients receive virtual consultations with their surgeon to discuss goals, review medical history, and plan their personalized surgical approach before traveling.
