Blepharoplasty in Astana · eye microsurgery and aesthetic medicine clinic
RB CLINIC performs 7,840+ surgeries a year. Every third eyelid surgery we do corrects work from another clinic
list price 500,000 ₸ special price 400,000 ₸ for two eyelidswith Darbuzov and Nasipov
Why here
That’s why it’s operated on at an eye microsurgery clinic, not at a beauty salon
The clinic has 70,000+ operations behind it — which is why people come here to fix what didn’t work out elsewhere
How we count: each eyelid is a separate surgery (a full-circle procedure counts as 4), cataract in both eyes counts as 2.

Choose what bothers you — and you’ll see here which eyelids are operated on in that case and which of our surgeons does it.
Work out your priceUpper blepharoplasty removes excess skin from the upper eyelid that has settled on the lashes and made your look heavy. Lower blepharoplasty deals with under-eye bags: the fat that has pushed out from under a weakened membrane is put back in place, or just the excess that has bulged out is removed. Full blepharoplasty means both upper and lower eyelids are done in one operation — all four.
A separate case is double-eyelid surgery and epicanthoplasty: the upper eyelid crease isn’t “cut in” but shaped by fixing the skin at the right height, and the inner corner of the eye is opened up. If the eyelid hasn’t just hooded but has dropped on its own, that is upper eyelid ptosis — it’s operated on differently, and at the clinic only Dr. Bigeldiyev does it.

Threads don’t remove excess skin or fat bulges — they only lift what’s there. They’re easier to sell, but they don’t solve the problem.

If the eyelid hasn’t hooded but has dropped on its own and covers the pupil, removing skin won’t help: the muscle that lifts the eyelid needs to be shortened. That is eye surgery, not aesthetics, and at the clinic only Dr. Bigeldiyev performs it.

The price list doesn’t split blepharoplasty into upper, lower and full: there is one price per eyelid, and full blepharoplasty is four eyelids. The “for two eyelids” line means both eyes, upper or lower. The price list is not a public offer; the exact amount is given at the consultation.
Safety without big words
Blepharoplasty is surgery two millimetres from the eye, and we treat it as surgery. Beauty clinics take patients for the same blepharoplasty after an examination and a basic blood test. Compare the lists.
There, the eyelid is operated on by a cosmetologist, not by a surgeon who works with the eye every day.

I want to leave a review of the clinic and thank Dr. Ruslan Nurlybekovich Darbuzov for a professionally performed blepharoplasty. The clinic is modern and well equipped, very clean and comfortable. The staff are polite, attentive and always ready to help. I especially want to mention the caring attitude and support at every stage — from the consultation to the surgery itself and recovery. I’m very happy with the result and with my choice of clinic. Thank you so much!
I sincerely thank ophthalmologist Ruslan Nurlybekovich for his high professionalism, attentive care and the successful operations, Femto LASIK and blepharoplasty😍. Thanks to your skill and care, everything went calmly and confidently. Thank you for the chance to see the world more clearly and to feel better🙏.
I also want to thank the whole clinic team for the warm welcome, kindness, support and comfortable atmosphere. My special, deepest thanks go to Gulime Serikovna❤️🤗🙏. From the very first minutes I felt her attention, care and a genuine wish to help patients. I wish you good health, well-being and continued success in your noble work🙌!
A well-known private eye clinic in the country, with outstanding doctors in blepharoplasty. I was a patient here myself. I’ll say straight away: it isn’t cheap, but it’s high quality. The staff, which matters a lot, are professional. You can trust them with your eyes, but follow all the clinic’s instructions. Good health to everyone, and if you can, only go to medical facilities when you really need to — well, and for ageing facial skin))))))
An impressive clinic. Dr. Nasipov has hands as light as a butterfly. I recommend it. I’ve been coming here for years
A truly superb clinic. Doctors who know their job. Excellent service, starting with the girls at reception. I’m very grateful to you, especially to Dr. Danis Jafarogly — you’re the best
I recommend this clinic for surgery, and I especially want to mention Moldir, Assel and Khirimzade Danis. The best of the best, the best service in the city.
An excellent clinic, very friendly and professional doctors: Kerimzade D. D., Bigeldiyev R. K., Dr. Zhukeyev; the girls at reception are always very polite, and the equipment is state of the art
RB Clinic is the very best clinic for vision and eye aesthetics! Choose this clinic and you’ll definitely forget about vision problems! The best🔥🔥🔥
This is one of the best clinics in the capital of Kazakhstan. They give many people their sight and beauty back. Of course it isn’t free, but what wouldn’t you do for yourself. The staff here are good. Attentive doctors and modern equipment. Most importantly, they explain everything very well, which matters for older patients.
Surgery day
You spend two and a half hours at the clinic. No general anaesthesia, no hospital stay: blepharoplasty is done under local anaesthesia, and you’re home by lunchtime. Swipe the timeline sideways — every step was filmed here.
Walk through the clinic — 8 rooms in a minute Starting with the operating room
The administrator shows you to your room. Bring your own change of clothes and slippers.
No make-up or contact lenses, jewellery off. Then — your room and waiting for the surgeon.
The lines on the eyelid are drawn by the person who will operate. You see in the mirror exactly what will be removed.
Local anaesthesia. You stay awake and feel only touch. Lower eyelids take 30–45 minutes, upper — 60–70.
A fine stitch line hides in the eyelid crease. A sterile dressing — and you’re taken back to your room.
Home. Don’t drive — ask someone to pick you up. Stitches come out on day 12.
A prick, then heaviness — that’s it. The first few seconds are a prick, much like at the dentist. Then the eyelid feels heavy, as if it has drifted away. You feel the instrument touching you, but no pain: touch and pain are carried by different nerve endings, and it’s the pain ones that are switched off.
You’re awake and can talk to the surgeon. No general anaesthesia means none of its risks.
Pain relief: lidocaine 2 % (Belarus), Ubistesin forte 4 % (Germany), articaine 4 % (Korea). The drug is chosen based on your tolerance test.
After surgery
You can go back to work after two or three days; the stitches come out on day 12. Most of the result shows almost straight away, but the final result of blepharoplasty is judged after 12–18 months — that’s how long the tissues need to fully settle.
When to see a doctor straight away: a large haematoma or a stitch coming apart. Call +7 771 848 00 00.
Tests: blood test for immunoglobulin E to the anaesthetic that will be used (lidocaine 2 %, Ubistesin forte, novocaine; a skin test is not accepted); coagulogram, full blood count, syphilis test; hepatitis B and C, HIV; biochemistry — cholesterol, glucose, urea, creatinine; ECG with interpretation; thyroid hormones — TSH, T3, T4, anti-TPO.
Avoid before blepharoplasty: blood-thinning medicines (with acetylsalicylic acid) — stop them only as agreed with your doctor; alcohol; lots of fluids, citrus fruit, coffee; botulinum toxin injections; make-up and eyelash extensions on the day of surgery; contact lenses — take them out.
Bring with you: slippers, a change of clothes, the painkiller and eye ointment your doctor prescribes (we will tell you the names when you book). Take off jewellery. If the day of surgery falls during your period, let the administrator know.
Surgery is not possible with: pregnancy; inflammatory diseases of the eyelids or the eye; a severe uncontrolled general illness.
Possible after preparation: high blood pressure — once it’s controlled; diabetes — once it’s controlled; other accompanying conditions that respond to treatment.

Some eyelid operations are done for vision, not for looks: a hooded lid blocks the upper and side field of vision, ptosis lowers the lid over the pupil, with trichiasis the lashes grow towards the eye, and an in-turned or out-turned eyelid harms the cornea. In these cases blepharoplasty is ophthalmology, and it’s good when it’s done where eyes are treated.
If you want to understand it
Fear of eyelid surgery is almost always about one thing: “what if they damage something”. The eyelid is five layers thinner than two millimetres, and each has its own job. Below are four diagrams: what the surgeon touches and what he doesn’t touch at all. It doesn’t affect your decision — you’ll be shown all the same at the appointment.
The thinnest skin on the body — less than a millimetre. That’s why it’s the first to give way under its own weight and the first to show your age.
That excess is what the surgeon removes during blepharoplasty. He doesn’t pull it tight — he cuts away exactly the surplus you see in the mirror.
Like a sleeve that has become too long: you shorten it, you don’t stretch it back.It closes the eye and blinks more than ten thousand times a day. It isn’t removed: without it the eye simply wouldn’t close.
The surgeon passes through it and leaves it as it was.
This is where “removing more” leads straight to complications.The fat under the eyelid isn’t surplus. It’s a cushion: it holds the eye in its socket and absorbs knocks.
Only the volume that has pushed forward and formed a bag is removed. Scraping it all out means a sunken eye and a face that looks older than before surgery.
That’s why a good blepharoplasty result looks as if nothing was done.A firm plate inside the eyelid that holds its shape — like the stiffener in a shirt collar.
It isn’t touched at all. That’s exactly why, after careful surgery, the eyelid doesn’t sag and the shape of your eyes stays your own.
Blepharoplasty doesn’t change the shape of your eyes. It removes what was covering them.
The muscle that lifts the eyelid sends thin fibres upwards and attaches them to the skin. Where they attach, the skin is drawn inwards — and a crease forms.
The fat sits high and doesn’t get in the way of the lid margin.
It isn’t a sign of youth or anyone’s merit. It’s simply the anatomy you were born with.The skin isn’t drawn in anywhere, so it runs smoothly from brow to lashes without a fold. The fat layer sits lower and makes the eyelid fuller.
This is how the eyelid is built in most people in Asia.
It’s normal, not a defect. And if you want a crease, it is shaped, not “corrected”. That’s how double-eyelid surgery is done.The crease isn’t cut in. The surgeon repeats what nature does with the fibres: he fixes the skin at the right height.
A thin membrane — the septum — is stretched between the fat and the skin. While it’s firm, the fat stays in the eye socket and the lower eyelid runs smoothly into the cheek, without a step.
That’s how it looks at twenty and in people who are lucky with their genes.Over time it stretches — like elastic worn for years. The fat moves forward, and what you see in the mirror in the morning isn’t puffiness or “not enough sleep”.
It’s fat that has come out from under the membrane.
That’s why bags don’t go away with sleep, water or eye patches: no cream can put the fat back in place.Only lower blepharoplasty removes bags — not by “sucking out” the fat, but by returning it to where it should be, or removing just the excess that has come out.
The anaesthetic is injected with a fine needle into the skin and the layer beneath it. It spreads outwards and switches off the nerve endings that carry pain.
The blue area on the diagram shows how far the anaesthetic reaches. It doesn’t reach the eye at all — the eye stays outside this zone.The first few seconds are a prick, much like at the dentist. Then the eyelid feels heavy, as if it has drifted away.
You feel the instrument touching you — that’s how it should be. Pain — no: touch and pain are carried by different nerve endings, and it’s the pain ones that are switched off.
You’re awake and can talk to the surgeon. No general anaesthesia means none of its risks.You feel touch. Not pain.
Questions
At RB CLINIC — 400,000 ₸ for two eyelids at the special price with Dr. Darbuzov and Dr. Nasipov, 500,000 ₸ on the price list. Per eyelid: Darbuzov and Nasipov — 250,000 ₸, Kerimzade — 300,000 ₸, Bigeldiyev — 400,000 ₸, Nurmagambetov — 175,000 ₸. Upper or lower blepharoplasty on both eyes is two eyelids; full blepharoplasty is four. A revision after another clinic costs more: from 350,000 ₸ per eyelid. You can work out your own price in the “How much blepharoplasty costs” section.
Not the surgery itself. You’ll only feel the anaesthetic prick in the first few seconds, much like at the dentist. Then the eyelid feels heavy: you’re awake, but you feel only the doctor’s touch, not pain. No general anaesthesia means none of its risks.
It’s when both upper and lower eyelids — all four — are done in one operation. There’s no separate technique, just the amount of work: upper blepharoplasty removes hooded skin, lower removes under-eye bags, and full does both at once.
You don’t. You arrive at nine and are discharged at half past eleven. No hospital stay is needed: the operation is done under local anaesthesia and you go home the same day.
After two or three days. There may be mild swelling and small bruises for the first few days, but most patients are back at work by then. The stitches come out on day 12.
After 12–18 months. Most of it shows much earlier — once the swelling goes down — but the tissues take exactly this long to fully settle.
Surgical blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat bulges. Threads only lift what’s there, and “laser blepharoplasty” is skin resurfacing, not surgery: neither removes excess skin or fat. We don’t do thread or laser blepharoplasty, but we do remove threads put in elsewhere.
Yes, that’s a third of our eyelid surgeries. First we work out exactly what went wrong: scars, a shortage of skin, too much fat removed, an in-turned or out-turned eyelid. Revisions are done by Kerimzade, Darbuzov and Nasipov — from 350,000 ₸ per eyelid — and by Dr Bigeldiyev — 1,100,000 ₸ for both eyelids.
From 16–17 for medical reasons, with the consent of a parent or guardian. Whether you personally can have surgery is decided by your tests and the surgeon’s examination.
If excess skin rests on the lashes but the lid margin itself stays in place, it’s hooding, and upper blepharoplasty removes it. If the lid margin has dropped and covers part of the pupil, it’s ptosis, and removing skin won’t help: the muscle that lifts the eyelid needs surgery. At the clinic only Dr. Bigeldiyev operates on ptosis. The surgeon will tell you for sure at the consultation — send two photos of your eyelids and he’ll reply.
