Blepharoplasty in Tijuana, Mexico
Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids for a more rested, refreshed appearance — and, for the upper lids, to improve a field of vision blocked by sagging skin. At Russald Medical Center in Tijuana, Mexico, the approach is tailored to each patient.

Blepharoplasty
What Is Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)?
Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) in Tijuana, Mexico at Russald Medical Center reshapes the upper and/or lower eyelids by removing or repositioning excess skin, muscle, and fat — typically at 60–75% below US pricing, about 20 minutes from the San Diego border. It refreshes a tired or aged look and, for the upper lids, can restore vision blocked by sagging skin.
Upper blepharoplasty addresses hooding and heaviness of the upper lid; when drooping skin obstructs the upper field of vision, the procedure is also functional. Lower blepharoplasty targets under-eye bags, puffiness, and excess skin. The two can be done together (four-lid) or separately, under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia.
Incisions are placed in the natural upper-lid crease and just below the lower lash line (or inside the lid for fat-only correction), so scars are well concealed. Your surgeon confirms the plan, anesthesia, and recovery with you before anything is scheduled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Blepharoplasty in Tijuana — Common Questions
How much does blepharoplasty cost in Tijuana, Mexico?
Eyelid surgery pricing depends on whether the upper lids, lower lids, or all four are treated. At Russald Medical Center, the cost is 60–75% less than comparable US clinics. Contact our team with your goals for a personalized quote.
What is the difference between upper and lower blepharoplasty?
Upper blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat from the upper lids to correct hooding and heaviness, and can improve vision when sagging skin blocks it. Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags, puffiness, and loose skin. Many patients treat upper, lower, or all four lids depending on their goals — confirmed during your evaluation.
How long is recovery after eyelid surgery?
Most patients return to work and social activities in about 7–10 days, once the main bruising and swelling subside. Sutures are typically removed within the first week. Mild swelling can take a few weeks to fully settle, and final results continue to refine over the following months.
Does blepharoplasty leave visible scars?
Incisions are placed in the natural upper-lid crease and just below the lower lash line, so scars are positioned to be well hidden and typically fade significantly over time. When only fat is corrected on the lower lid, the incision can be made inside the eyelid, leaving no visible scar. Your surgeon explains the approach during your evaluation.
How long do the results of eyelid surgery last?
Blepharoplasty results are long-lasting. Upper-eyelid results often last many years and for some patients are effectively permanent, while the eyes continue to age naturally over time. Lower-eyelid correction of under-eye bags is also durable. Your surgeon discusses what to expect for your specific case.
Is it safe to get blepharoplasty in Tijuana, Mexico?
Blepharoplasty safety depends on the surgical team and the facility, not the destination. At Russald Medical Center, eyelid surgery is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons in an accredited surgical suite with anesthesiology on site. Tijuana sits about 20 minutes from the San Diego border, which keeps in-person follow-up accessible for U.S. patients. A pre-operative evaluation — including your eye health — is required before any procedure is approved, and the risks are reviewed with you beforehand. An English-speaking coordinator manages your case from first contact through post-operative follow-up.
