"All-inclusive" means operating theatre and facilities, pre-operative laboratory work, the post-surgical recovery package and follow-up until discharge — not the surgeon’s fee alone. Approximate figures in Mexican pesos, current for 2026; results may vary from person to person. Every figure published on this site is approximate and is not a quote. Any procedure or treatment first requires a private assessment consultation with Dr. Arístides Arellano —$800 MXN, charged separately— and it is at that consultation that the definitive cost of your case is determined.
How much does eyelid surgery cost in Mexico?
From $40,000 MXN approx. with Dr. Arístides Arellano in Puebla, a plastic surgeon holding Mexican specialty licence 0002008. That is the figure for the upper lid, for the lower lid, and for surgery done with the CO₂ laser.
It is an all-inclusive figure, not a bare surgeon’s fee. That distinction decides comparisons: an estimate covering only the surgeon always wins the first reading and grows later, when theatre, labs and dressings appear.
Blepharoplasty price: what it includes and what it does not
Included: theatre and facilities, pre-operative labs, the post-surgical package —polarised light, cold laser, ultrasound and pulsed laser on the scar— and follow-up until discharge. Around the eyes those sessions matter: the skin is the thinnest on the body and bruising settles faster with support.
Not included: the assessment ($800 MXN, charged separately), hospital and anaesthetist fees if the case is done in a hospital theatre, and flights or accommodation if you travel in.
How much does surgery for droopy eyelids cost?
Same surgery, same figure: from $40,000 MXN approx. "Blepharoplasty" is the clinical name for what most people search as droopy eyelid surgery or an eyelid lift.
One distinction is worth making. If what hangs is skin of the eyelid itself, upper blepharoplasty removes it. If the brow has descended and is dragging the lid with it, removing lid skin does not solve the problem and can worsen the expression — that is corrected with a brow and forehead lift. Which one applies is established by examination, and it is one reason the figure cannot be closed from a photograph.
Upper or lower blepharoplasty: does the price change?
No. Both start from $40,000 MXN approx., though they are different operations. The upper removes the excess skin weighing on the eye. The lower treats the bags — fat herniating beneath the lid — which is sometimes repositioned rather than removed, so as not to leave a hollow a few years on.
When both are done in one operation the estimate is made together and is not a simple sum, which is why that row says "set at your assessment" instead of an invented number. In lower lids with laxity of the margin a canthopexy may also be indicated to tighten the outer corner: decided by anatomy, not by catalogue.
How much does CO₂ laser blepharoplasty cost?
From the same figure: $40,000 MXN approx. It is not billed as a separate package, because it is not a different product but the tool the surgery is done with — and here it is a real device, a CO₂ AcuPulse laser, not a marketing label.
What it adds is twofold: CO₂ cuts and coagulates at once, which usually means less bleeding during surgery, and the same device allows resurfacing of the eyelid skin — working the fine lines a scalpel does not touch. It does not suit every case and does not replace surgical judgement. Technique detail is on the blepharoplasty page.
Why can an exact price not be given without examining you?
Because the cost depends on whether it is one lid or both, how much skin and fat there is, whether the brow is involved, and whether the lid margin needs tightening. None of that is measured in a photograph. The assessment costs $800 MXN, is charged separately, and you leave it with the surgical plan and the definitive cost in writing.
