Blepharoplasty, also called eyelid surgery, is a procedure that removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. It's designed to correct hooded, drooping upper lids and puffiness or "bags" under the eyes, giving the face a more refreshed, rested, and youthful appearance. At Go Fillers Tijuana, blepharoplasty is performed by qualified surgeons in a professional medical setting, and can be done for cosmetic reasons or to improve vision when sagging upper eyelid skin blocks the field of view.
Blepharoplasty in Tijuana costs a fraction of U.S. and European prices, which is why so many patients travel to Baja California for eyelid surgery. The exact price depends on whether you're treating the upper lids, lower lids, or both, and whether it's combined with other procedures.

Most patients return to normal activities within 7 to 10 days. You can expect some swelling and bruising around the eyes in the first week, which fades gradually, and stitches are typically removed within a few days to a week. Cold compresses, keeping your head elevated, and avoiding strenuous activity help you heal comfortably. Final results settle in over several weeks as the tissue fully recovers, revealing brighter, more open eyes that can last many years.
Good candidates are generally healthy adults who are bothered by drooping upper eyelids, excess eyelid skin, or puffy bags beneath the eyes, and who have realistic expectations. You should be a non-smoker or willing to stop before surgery, and free of medical conditions that impair healing or serious eye conditions. The best way to know is a consultation at Go Fillers Tijuana, where your surgeon evaluates your eyelids, discusses your goals, and confirms whether blepharoplasty, or a non-surgical alternative, is right for you.
Blepharoplasty is designed to keep scars hidden. For the upper lids, the incision is placed in the natural crease of the eyelid, and for the lower lids it's set just below the lash line or on the inside of the lid, so any scarring is discreet and typically fades to a fine, barely noticeable line over time. Following your surgeon's aftercare instructions, including sun protection, helps the incisions heal as cleanly as possible.
Blepharoplasty results are long lasting and, for many patients, essentially permanent. Upper eyelid surgery often lasts a decade or more, and lower eyelid surgery rarely needs to be repeated. Your eyes will continue to age naturally, so skin may relax gradually over the years, but the improvement from surgery does not simply reverse. Protecting your skin from the sun and maintaining a healthy lifestyle help your results last as long as possible.
