Blepharoplasty in Colombia
Brighten Your Gaze, Renew Your Expression.
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a delicate procedure that restores the eyes’ youthful vitality by removing or repositioning excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper or lower eyelids.
It softens puffiness, lifts sagging skin, and smooths under eye bags revealing a brighter, refreshed, and naturally expressive look.

Recovery & Aftercare (Managed by iMedara)
Patients typically remain in Colombia for 7–10 days after blepharoplasty to allow for proper healing and follow-up care.
Early recovery focuses on rest, head elevation, and cold compress application to reduce swelling and bruising. Strenuous activity, eye strain, and sun exposure are avoided.

Common Concerns & Tailored Approaches
Upper Eyelid Surgery (Upper Blepharoplasty)
Upper blepharoplasty gently removes excess skin and fat from drooping upper lids, restoring a brighter, more open gaze and improving vision when sagging skin obstructs sight.
This refined procedure creates natural-looking eyelid creases and restores symmetry between the eyes, enhancing both beauty and comfort.
Minimal scarring discreetly hidden within the eyelid fold.
Lower Eyelid Surgery (Lower Blepharoplasty)
Lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags, puffiness, and excess skin, revealing a smoother, rested, and youthful appearance.
Using either a transconjunctival technique (from inside the eyelid) or a subtle external incision, your surgeon repositions or removes fat deposits and gently tightens the skin.
This approach effectively reduces dark circles and creates a soft, refreshed contour beneath the eyes — all while preserving natural expression.
Combined Upper & Lower Eyelid Lift
For a complete eye rejuvenation, combined blepharoplasty addresses both upper and lower lids in a single, balanced procedure.
By correcting drooping upper lids and under-eye puffiness simultaneously, this approach achieves a harmonious, youthful transformation with just one recovery period.
The result: a radiant gaze that beautifully frames your expression and restores facial harmony.
Functional Blepharoplasty for Vision Improvement
When excess upper eyelid skin interferes with vision, functional blepharoplasty restores clarity and comfort.
This medically indicated procedure removes the tissue obstructing the visual field, often improving both sight and appearance.
Our surgeons provide comprehensive documentation and visual field testing, collaborating with insurers to support coverage for qualifying patients always with safety, ethics, and patient well-being at the center of care.

Q&A – Frequently Asked Questions
Is blepharoplasty painful?
Discomfort is minimal and typically limited to mild tightness or swelling. Most patients manage well with simple pain medication and cold compresses.
What type of anesthesia is used?
Most eyelid surgeries are performed under local anesthesia with light sedation, though general anesthesia can be used for combined procedures or patient preference.
Can blepharoplasty improve vision?
Yes when excess upper-eyelid skin droops over the lashes, blepharoplasty can improve peripheral vision while rejuvenating the aesthetic appearance.
Can I combine this with other procedures?
Absolutely. Many patients pair blepharoplasty with facelift, brow lift, or fat grafting for comprehensive facial rejuvenation and balanced results.
Will there be visible scarring?
In upper blepharoplasty, the incision follows the natural crease of the eyelid, allowing the scar to blend invisibly with your skin over time.
In lower blepharoplasty, the incision is placed just below the lash line or inside the eyelid (transconjunctival approach), remaining discreetly hidden within the eye’s natural contours.
As healing progresses, any trace of scarring becomes virtually imperceptible, leaving only a refreshed, luminous gaze.
When can I wear makeup or contact lenses again?
Your eyes will need time to heal before makeup or contact lenses can be used comfortably.
Most patients can apply light eye makeup after 10–14 days, once incisions have closed and swelling has subsided.
Contact lenses can typically be worn again after 2–3 weeks, depending on your surgeon’s evaluation.
At iMedara, your care team will guide you through each recovery milestone to ensure your eyes heal beautifully and safely.
How long do the results of blepharoplasty last?
Blepharoplasty offers long-lasting rejuvenation, with results that typically endure for 10 years or more.
While natural aging continues, most patients enjoy a permanently refreshed and youthful appearance around the eyes.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, hydration, and sun protection helps extend your results and preserve the brightness of your gaze for years to come.
