Upper Eyelid Surgery Cost in Colombia

Upper eyelid surgery cost in Colombia compared with US prices. What upper blepharoplasty involves, what changes the price, and written quotes from Dr. Diego Franco.

What upper eyelid surgery costs

An upper blepharoplasty in Medellín runs from $1,200 to $2,000. In the United States the same procedure runs from $4,000 to $6,000. The range is all-in: the surgeon's fee, the anesthesia, the facility, and your follow-up visits.

What the procedure is

Upper eyelid surgery removes the loose skin and small fat pockets that hang over the eye. The incision hides in the natural crease of the lid, so once it heals the scar is hard to see. It is a short procedure, often under an hour, and it is one of the highest-value facial procedures because a small change opens the whole eye.

What moves the price

The main factor is whether skin only needs to be removed or whether fat and muscle work are also needed. The second is whether both lids or just one are treated. The third is whether it is paired with a brow lift or a lower lid, which changes the operating plan and the quote.

Upper lid vs a brow lift

A heavy lid and a low brow often look like the same problem. If the brow is the cause, a brow lift may be the better fix, and doing an upper blepharoplasty alone would leave the brow where it was. Dr. Franco looks at the brow and the lid together before he quotes either one.

Why Colombia costs less

The savings come from lower operating costs in Colombia, not lower standards. Salaries, real estate, and facility fees are less in Medellín, so the same surgical time costs less without cutting corners. Your written quote is based on your photos and anatomy, and it does not change after you approve it.
