Blepharoplasty
in Mexico

Blepharoplasty is designed to correct excess eyelid skin and under-eye bags, not pigmentation. It can soften the shadow cast by puffy lower lids, which improves the appearance of dark circles, but true pigmented dark circles are better addressed with skincare, peels or fillers. Your surgeon will advise the most suitable approach at consultation.

Upper blepharoplasty removes redundant, hooded skin (and sometimes a strip of muscle or fat) from the upper eyelid to open the eye. Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags and puffiness by removing or repositioning fat and, when needed, tightening loose lower-lid skin. Many patients combine both in a single procedure.

Most blepharoplasties are performed under local anaesthesia with light sedation, which is comfortable and allows rapid recovery. When combined with other facial procedures, general anaesthesia may be preferred. A certified anesthesiologist is present for every case.

No — upper-eyelid incisions are hidden within the natural crease of the lid, and lower-lid incisions sit just below the lash line or entirely inside the lid (transconjunctival). Once healed, the fine scars are very difficult to see.

Results are long-lasting — upper blepharoplasty commonly lasts 10 years or more, and lower-lid fat removal often does not recur. The eyes continue to age naturally, but most patients never need a second procedure.

Most bruising and swelling settle within 1 to 2 weeks. Sutures are removed around days 5 to 7 and many patients return to desk work in about a week. Cold compresses in the first days speed recovery.

No — discomfort is mild. Patients describe tightness, swelling and temporary dry eye rather than pain. Simple analgesics are usually enough for the first day or two.

A good candidate is a healthy adult, usually from their mid-30s onwards, bothered by heavy or hooded upper lids, under-eye bags or crepey lower-lid skin, with realistic expectations and no active eye disease. During your consultation a board-certified surgeon confirms whether the upper, lower or both lids should be treated.

Yes. Because the eyes, brow and midface age together, blepharoplasty is frequently combined with a brow lift or facelift for a balanced, natural result. Performing them in one session means a single anaesthesia and a single recovery. Your surgeon advises the right combination at your consultation.
