Eyelid surgery is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of your eyelids. It helps reduce the look of tired eyes from your lower lids and removes drooping skin from your upper lids.
Eyelid surgery in Tijuana, Mexico is a cosmetic surgery procedure that reduces or repositions excess fatty deposits and/or sagging skin and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. It gives a rejuvenated appearance to the surrounding area of your eyes, making patients appear more rested and alert. Dr. Illich Navarro from Tijuana Facelift Our has performed numerous eyelid surgery procedures, and is regarded as one of the most experienced eyelid surgeons at Mommy Makeover Tijuana.
Eyelid surgery, is a procedure that removes sagging and drooping skin from the upper and lower eyelids. According to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, it was the fourth most common plastic surgery procedure in the United States in recent years. Most people desire eyelid surgery to make their eyes look younger and well-rested, but this procedure also has some functional advantages.
If you are experiencing heaviness of the upper eyelids that is blocking vision or makes your eyelids look aged, tired, or sad then upper blepharoplasty is an excellent option. If you have lower eyelid bags (prominent fat pads), dark circles, prominent tear troughs, excessive skin, or deep wrinkles around the eyes then lower blepharoplasty is an excellent option.
The first 3 days after eyelid surgery will involve regular icing over the operated area to decrease inflammation. We also recommend no heavy lifting or physical exertion (i.e. working out) for the first 7 days. By the end of the 2nd post-operative week, the bruising and swelling has typically decreased by 80-90%. The final 5-10% of healing can take up to 3-6 months. Certainly, the case complexity and patient medical history will impact the recovery period.
Blepharoplasty, like any eyelid surgery, inherently carries the risk of potential trauma to your eyes and vision. We perform a high volume of eyelid surgery cases, so have developed skill set mastery in this area. Other risks include under-treatment or over-treatment as well as potential scarring and eyelid asymmetry. Once again, these types of risks are mitigated if the surgeon has advanced training with high-volume clinical experience.
If you are aged 18 and over, you are a potential candidate for eyelid surgery. However, the procedure is recommended for those aged 30 and above.
Your eyes are one of the first things others notice about you. They’re also one of the first facial features to reveal signs of aging. If your eyes make you look older or more tired than your years, you may be a good candidate for eyelid lift surgery.

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape your upper and/or lower eyelids. Your skin loses elasticity, and your muscles weaken when you age, causing excess skin around your eyes to form.
The procedure involves removing excess skin and reducing or repositioning the fat and/or muscle around the eyelids.
The procedure is performed for cosmetic or functional reasons, such as improving the appearance of sagging or puffy eyelids and addressing vision problems caused by excess skin or fat.
Blepharoplasty is considered a cosmetic and functional procedure, while ptosis surgery is primarily functional to help improve your vision.
Ptosis surgery tightens or shortens the eyelid muscle so the eyelid can lift and open again, unlike before the procedure. Blepharoplasty removes excess skin to help enhance the appearance of the eyes.
Often, ptosis surgery is combined with blepharoplasty to give you a refreshed and youthful look while improving your vision.
During the surgery, you will either be under local or general anaesthetic. Typically, blepharoplasty is done under local anaesthetic if just the upper eyelid is being operated on.
General anaesthetic may be recommended if you have severe anxiety about the procedure or are having just lower eyelid or combined upper and lower eyelid surgery.
In the expert hands of our specialists, we will ensure this process is as painless as possible so you have the best experience during your procedure.
If you are aged 18 and over, you are a potential candidate for blepharoplasty. However, the procedure is recommended for those aged 30 and above.
