Eyelid surgery in Medellín

Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) removes excess skin and, when needed, fat from the upper or lower eyelids. It can give a more rested look and, for heavy upper lids, improve the field of vision.

Who is eyelid surgery for?

Often a good fit if

  • You have sagging or heavy upper eyelids
  • You have under-eye bags or loose skin on the lower lids
  • Excess skin affects your vision
  • You’re in good general health with realistic expectations

May not be right if

  • You have certain eye conditions, such as severe dry eye, which your surgeon will evaluate first
  • You want to change the shape of your eyes beyond what this surgery does
  • You have conditions that affect healing

Only your surgeon can confirm whether you’re a candidate, after reviewing your health and goals.

How eyelid surgery works

  1. 1

    Planning

    Your surgeon examines your eyelids and brow position, and plans upper lids, lower lids or both.

  2. 2

    Surgery

    Incisions are placed in the natural crease of the upper lid or just below the lashes on the lower lid. Excess skin and fat are removed.

  3. 3

    Healing

    Cold compresses and eye care help reduce swelling. Stitches are removed after about a week.

Recovery after eyelid surgery

  1. First days

    Swelling, bruising and a tight feeling. You’ll use cold compresses and keep your head elevated.

  2. Week 1

    Stitches are removed at your check-up. You avoid contact lenses and eye makeup for a while.

  3. Week 2

    Bruising fades and most patients return to normal routines.

  4. Month 2–3

    Scars soften and the final result appears.

Timelines are typical and vary from person to person. Your surgeon gives you a plan for your own recovery.

Risks and what to know

Every surgery carries risks. These are the main ones for eyelid surgery; your surgeon will explain them in detail and how they’re reduced.

  • Swelling, bruising and temporary dry or irritated eyes
  • Temporary difficulty closing the eyes fully
  • Asymmetry or small scars along the lid
  • Infection or bleeding, which are uncommon
  • Rare vision problems, which your surgeon will discuss with you
  • Risks linked to anesthesia, reviewed with your anesthesiologist

FAQ

Eyelid surgery in Medellín: your questions

Straight answers to what patients ask us most.

Is eyelid surgery cosmetic or medical?

It can be both. Removing excess skin can give a more rested look, and when the upper lids hang over the eyes it can also improve vision.

Where are the scars?

Upper lid incisions lie in the natural crease, and lower lid incisions just under the lashes, so scars are usually very discreet once healed.

How long should I stay in Medellín?

We recommend 7–14 days after surgery, plus 3–5 days before it, to remove stitches and follow your healing. Your surgeon confirms the exact time.

How much does eyelid surgery cost in Medellín?

Reference range is USD $2,500 – $3,400 (about COP 8,000,000 – 10,700,000), depending on whether upper, lower or both lids are treated, the surgeon and the clinic. The final price is confirmed after your surgeon’s evaluation.

Can eyelid surgery be combined with a facelift?

Yes, they are often done together. Your surgeon will advise whether that is right for you.
