Eye Lift (Blepharoplasty)
Give the eyelids a brighter livelier look

Upper eyelids may droop and lower lids become baggy leaving a dull, tired look. An eye-lift can remove the excess fat and skin from the eyelids giving a brighter livelier look, sometimes even improving vision.
Usually performed under a local anaesthetic. Incisions are made along the natural creases of the upper eyelid or beneath the lower lashes, minimising scaring. Skin is lifted from the underlying fat, areas of which are selectively removed together with excess, sagging skin. During the procedure it may also be necessary to support weak surrounding tendons or muscle through suturing.
The procedure is usually completed within 1 to 3 hours.

The head should remain elevated for several days after the operation with swelling being controlled through cold compresses. Bruising should subside after 2 weeks but may last up to a month. Stitches are removed after the first week. Eyes are subject to dryness, blurred vision and irritation. Eye drops may alleviate some of these problems. It may be several months before full normality is restored.
There are few risks associated with this procedure. Blurriness and dryness of the eyes may be temporary side effects but should soon disappear. There is a small chance that too much skin is removed making full closure of the eyes difficult.

The price of your cosmetic surgery abroad should include the cost of your surgery or procedure of course, but you also need to factor in the cost of your airfare, accommodation, meals and living expenses.

The best value can often be found close to home: a full face lift will cost you $15,000 in America for example, as opposed to $3,000 in Mexico. (^)
