What is an Eyelid Correction or Blepharoplasty in the Dominican Republic?
The Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is an outpatient cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the eyes by removing excess skin, fat, or bags from the upper and lower eyelids. This procedure achieves a fresher, more rested, and youthful appearance, enhancing the natural expression of the eyes.
In addition to enhancing facial aesthetics, blepharoplasty can also provide functional benefits in cases where sagging upper eyelid skin restricts the visual field. In this way, it not only transforms the appearance of the eyes but also brings comfort and confidence to daily life.

What should I know and what should I expect from an Eyelid Correction or Blepharoplasty in the Dominican Republic?
Before the procedure
To ensure the best results, the surgeon will recommend discontinuing for 2 weeks prior to the procedure the use of medications that increase the risk of bleeding, such as aspirin, vitamin E, and ginseng. In addition, tobacco, alcohol, and ginger tea should be avoided. It is also important to inform the specialist if you are taking any other medications or if you have experienced any health issues, such as fever or diarrhea, in the days leading up to the procedure.
During the procedure
The procedure is usually performed with oral sedation or under local anesthesia, depending on the case. The surgeon makes very fine incisions in the natural folds of the eyelids so that the scars are virtually invisible. Through these incisions, excess skin and fat are removed, and the tissues are tightened, achieving a natural result that is harmonious with the rest of the face.
After the procedure
Recovery is outpatient and generally quick. Antibiotics, pain relievers, and local care are prescribed to reduce inflammation. During the first few days, it is recommended to apply cold compresses and avoid direct sun exposure; if necessary, sunscreen should be used. Most patients can return to their daily activities within a few days, enjoying a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
