Blepharoplasty Explained: How Eyelid Surgery Can Refresh Your Look

Introduction

Your eyes are one of the first places to show signs of aging. Droopy eyelids, puffiness, or under-eye bags can make you look tired even when you feel full of energy. Fortunately, blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, can help restore a bright, youthful appearance.

At Dra. Laura’s Plastic Surgery Clinic in Tijuana, Mexico, patients from the U.S. and Mexico choose blepharoplasty to refresh their look safely, affordably, and with natural-looking results.

‍

What Is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that removes or repositions excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids.

• Upper eyelid surgery lifts drooping lids that may cause a heavy or aged look.
• Lower eyelid surgery smooths bags and puffiness under the eyes.

Both can be performed alone or combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures like a facelift or Endolift® for comprehensive results.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?

You may be a good candidate for blepharoplasty in Tijuana if you have:

• Sagging or loose skin that droops over the eyelids
• Puffy bags under the eyes
• Tired or aged appearance despite rest
• Good general health and realistic expectations

During your consultation, Dra. Laura evaluates your anatomy, skin elasticity, and goals to design a personalized surgical plan.

Benefits of Blepharoplasty

‍Patients choose eyelid surgery in Mexico because it offers both aesthetic and functional improvements:

• Brighter, more youthful eyes
• Improved vision if drooping skin obstructs sight
• Smoother eyelid contour and refreshed expression
• Long-lasting results that can rejuvenate your appearance for years

Recovery After Eyelid Surgery

Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising for a few days, with a quick recovery timeline:

• 3–5 days: Resume light activities
• 7–10 days: Most swelling subsides
• 2–3 weeks: Return to normal appearance

Dra. Laura’s post-operative care team provides detailed instructions to ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery.
