Rejuvenate Your Eyes with Expert Precision with Our Blepharoplasty in Medellin
Your eyelids are often the first to show signs of aging. And if you do not properly care for them, the effects of time can be even more disparaging.

Understanding Blepharoplasty with Dr. Juan Santamaria
The aging process has its effects, and every individual, regardless of gender, will have to deal with them. As we age, the facial muscles tend to weaken, and the skin loses its flexibility. Over time, you will notice wrinkling around the eyes and a decrease in elasticity. Your eyes will droop, and the facial fat around them will accumulate. Over time, they may give you a tired, aged appearance and even obstruct vision.
This is where a blepharoplasty in Colombia, also known as eyelid surgery, steps in. This is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin from around the eyelids, thereby restoring a youthful appearance. Additionally, it is highly recommended for individuals with impaired vision due to sagging eyelids, particularly those who are elderly.

Your Post-Operative Care Journey
1. Immediate Recovery Management
In order to maintain the full effects of your procedure, you should adhere to the post-operative guidelines provided to you by Dr. Juan Santamaria. Being aware of post-operative care in general is equally important. Please note that this is an outpatient procedure, and you will be directed to return home after the procedure has been completed. In some cases, overnight supervision might be necessary.
The first 48 hours after your procedure are extremely crucial to monitor. You will be provided with the necessary medical equipment to ensure optimal healing, along with instructional guides. Gentle cleaning techniques and timely medication are all necessary for the first week. During this time, if you notice any bleeding or excessive swelling, reach out to us immediately.
2. Weekly Progress Monitoring
The first week following your surgery requires the most attention. This is also the week in which the most healing takes place. Each day, follow a gentle cleansing routine to prevent infection and ensure the wound heals properly. If you adhere to your regular follow-up appointment, you will be able to address any immediate concerns and emerging problems.
At night, it is recommended to sleep with your head elevated. In the mornings, apply cold compresses to your eyes every 10 to 15 minutes to minimize swelling and bruising. Additionally, for the remainder of the week, avoid strenuous exercise, rubbing your eyes, and bending at the waist. If you are stepping out into the sun, ensure that you wear sunglasses. In the same way, you should avoid wearing contact lenses and any eye makeup until your surgeon gives you the go-ahead.
3. Long-Term Result Optimization
Note that the final results of your eyelid surgery in Colombia will not be visible for at least 3 to 12 months, depending on your case. In the long term, you should continue to apply sun protection consistently and wear sunglasses when stepping out into direct sunlight. Additionally, avoid harshly rubbing your eyes and refrain from wearing contact lenses.
When it comes to healing after any surgery, you will also be expected to make certain lifestyle changes. Firstly, you will need to exercise regularly, eat a balanced and nutritious diet, and maintain adequate hydration. All of these are key to quicker recovery. Your progress will be tracked via our follow-up appointments. With the right care, we guarantee that your results will last for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions About Blepharoplasty Colombia
We understand that you may have several questions pertaining to the nature of this cosmetic surgery and whether it is the right choice for you. Understanding your concerns is paramount to us and is considered an essential step in delivering exceptional patient care. Explore our FAQs below to learn more about potential risks, realistic outcomes, and whether this procedure is right for you.
1. Am I A Good Candidate for Eyelid Surgery?
Ideal candidates have realistic expectations, good overall health, and concerns about sagging eyelids, under-eye bags, or vision. The surgery is further recommended for individuals who are above the age of 35. However, individual anatomy certainly matters, and we will review your case thoroughly to determine if you are the right fit.
2. How Long Do Blepharoplasty Results Typically Last?
Blepharoplasty results typically tend to last at least 10 to 15 years. However, individual factors such as your lifestyle and genes will impact the longevity of your procedure. Keep in mind that it only addresses existing effects of gravity and does not fully prevent future effects. This is why postoperative care is necessary to maximize the benefits of your procedure.
3. What Should I Expect During the Blepharoplasty Recovery Period?
You may experience mild swelling and bruising for 7 to 10 days. However, most discomfort is managed easily with prescribed medications. Most patients return to work within one week and resume normal activities within two weeks.
4. Can Blepharoplasty Be Combined with Other Procedures?
Yes, blepharoplasty combines beautifully with facelifts, brow lifts, or injectables for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Combination procedures often provide superior results while reducing overall recovery time compared to staging procedures separately over multiple sessions.
