Your Blepharoplasty in San Miguel de Allende: Step by Step Process

1

Pre-Op Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including a physical and visual exam, eyelid measurements, visual field testing, and diagnostic photography to document your baseline and guide precise surgical planning.
2

The Procedure

Blepharoplasty procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia in 1-2 hours. Dr. Guevara makes incisions along the natural folds or lines of the upper or lower eyelid. Excess skin and fat are carefully removed, then closed with precision sutures — resulting in minimal to imperceptible scarring.

Follow-Up & Stay

Most patients are discharged the same day, with sutures removed within 5-7 days. We recommend staying in San Miguel de Allende for at least 7 days to attend follow-up appointments and ensure a smooth, supervised recovery.

Recovery & Results

First Week After Surgery

During the first week, your eyelids may feel tight, sore, or sensitive. Mild swelling, bruising, watery eyes, or light sensitivity are common. Vision may be slightly blurry at first, and sutures are usually removed within 5-7 days.

Weeks 2-4: Visible Improvement

Swelling and bruising gradually disappear, revealing a more refreshed and natural appearance. Most patients return to work and social activities within 10-14 days, although minor bruising may still be visible.

3-6 Months After Surgery

Final results are fully defined by this stage — residual swelling has completely resolved and incision lines are minimal to imperceptible. Maintain with a basic skincare routine, daily sunscreen, and dark glasses outdoors.
