Can I have a blepharoplasty under local anesthesia in Costa Rica?

Patients who will benefit from an upper eyelid blepharoplasty in Costa Rica can have the procedure done in the surgeon’s office under local anesthesia. However, a trip to the operating suite and intravenous sedation is required for lower eyelid blepharoplasty to remove bags from under the eyes. Whether with local or sedation, blepharoplasty procedures are outpatient.
