Blepharoplasty in Mexico
Blepharoplasty
A blepharoplasty — or eyelid surgery — removes or repositions excess skin, muscle and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. It corrects hooded upper lids and under-eye bags, restoring a rested, alert and more youthful eye. Incisions are hidden in the natural crease of the upper lid or just below the lash line, so the fine scars are very hard to see.
Who is a good candidate?
Adults with heavy or hooded upper lids, excess eyelid skin (dermatochalasis) that may impair the field of vision, or persistent lower-lid bags and puffiness, in good general health and non-smokers. Realistic expectations and healthy eyes are essential.
Expected results
The upper lid is smoother and more open, and lower-lid bags are softened for a rested, alert and youthful eye. Patients often report that their gaze looks 'less tired'. The result is most natural at 2 to 3 months and is long-lasting.
How the Surgery is Done
Blepharoplasty is performed under local anaesthesia with light sedation, or general anaesthesia when combined with other procedures. The surgeon marks the excess skin precisely before beginning, so only what is truly redundant is addressed.
Step 1 — upper lid
The incision is placed within the natural upper-lid crease. Redundant skin, a fine strip of muscle when needed, and any bulging fat are removed or refined.
Step 2 — lower lid
Through an incision just below the lash line — or hidden inside the lid (transconjunctival) — excess fat is removed or repositioned to smooth under-eye bags. A conservative skin-pinch tightens loose skin when required.
Step 3 — closure
Very fine sutures close the incisions along the crease or lash line. Cold compresses are applied to limit swelling.
Incisions & Scars
The approach depends on whether the upper lid, lower lid, or both are treated:
1. Upper-lid crease
The incision follows the natural fold of the upper eyelid, so the healed scar is concealed when the eye is open.
2. Sub-ciliary (below the lashes)
A fine incision just under the lower lash line allows removal of excess skin and fat. It settles into an almost invisible line.
3. Transconjunctival
An incision made entirely inside the lower lid to remove or reposition fat — leaving no external scar at all.
