Darbuzov Ruslan Nurlybekovich
Eye surgeon · operating since 2018
Orenburg State Medical University, residency there too. Operates on eyelids, entropion and ectropion, and performs eyelid reconstruction.
Hooded eyelid or ptosis — check in 10 seconds
When upper-lid skin rests on your lashes, you look tired and may even see less. Upper blepharoplasty removes the excess skin in 60–70 minutes, and the stitch hides in the lid crease.
Special price with Dr Darbuzov and Dr Nasipov: 400,000 ₸ for two eyelids. List price: 250,000 ₸ per eyelid; with Dr Kerimzade, 300,000 ₸ per eyelid.
Two photos on WhatsApp — the surgeon will tell you if it’s hooding or ptosis
At RB CLINIC (12 Orynbor St, Astana — the clinic’s own building), upper blepharoplasty is performed by Dr Ruslan Darbuzov and Dr Kirman Nasipov — 250,000 ₸ per eyelid on the price list, special price 400,000 ₸ for two eyelids — and by Dr Daniz Kerimzade, 300,000 ₸ per eyelid. Westernisation and epicanthoplasty are in the same price line. The operation takes 60–70 minutes under local anaesthesia, and you go home the same day. Back to work in 2–3 days, stitches out on day 12. Upper eyelid ptosis is a separate operation; at the clinic only Dr Rishat Bigeldiyev performs it (500,000 ₸ per eyelid). Booking: +7 771 848 00 00 (WhatsApp), Mon–Sat 9:00–19:00.
Hooding or ptosis
If skin has settled on your lashes but the lid edge is where it should be, it’s hooding. If the lid edge itself has dropped and covers the pupil, it’s ptosis. Removing skin for ptosis is like trimming the curtains when the rail is broken.
You can have both at once. Then removing skin alone won’t help: the lid will stay low. That’s why the surgeon checks the lid-edge height and muscle strength before surgery.
Marked hooding blocks the upper and side parts of your field of vision: people raise their eyebrows or tilt their head back to see. This is measured with a visual field test. In that case blepharoplasty is more than cosmetic.
Perimetry at RB CLINICSurgery
The surgeon removes a strip of excess skin above the crease and, if needed, a little fat. The stitch sits in the natural lid crease. You spend about two and a half hours at the clinic; no hospital stay.
The surgeon draws the lines on your lids personally while you watch in a mirror what will be removed.
A quick injection in the first seconds, then the lid feels heavy. You’re awake and feel touch, not pain.
Excess skin is removed, and excess fat if the upper lid has fat pads.
A fine stitch hides in the lid crease.
Don’t drive — ask someone to collect you. Stitches come out on day 12.
The operation is two millimetres from the eye. Before blepharoplasty, one of Dr Darbuzov’s patients was found to have a pre-glaucoma condition and had laser iridotomy first (Dr Zhukeev). No aspirin-containing drugs for a week before; no make-up or contact lenses on the day.
Why each check matters
Westernisation
Yes. At RB CLINIC, westernisation and epicanthoplasty are in the same price line as blepharoplasty: 250,000 ₸ per eyelid with Dr Darbuzov or Dr Nasipov, 300,000 ₸ per eyelid with Dr Kerimzade.
Westernisation changes the shape of the eye opening and creates an upper lid crease where it is faint or absent. Epicanthoplasty removes the skin fold at the inner corner of the eye. The surgeon will tell you at the exam which of these suits you.

Surgery in an eye microsurgery clinic, not a beauty salon. Three surgeons — choose by their results, by price, or by who you feel most at ease with. Ptosis — only with the clinic’s founder, Dr Bigeldiyev.

Reviews on Yandex Maps
People left these reviews themselves, on Yandex Maps — we can’t delete or change a single word there. First about eyelids and eyelid surgeons, then about the clinic in general. Quoted in full, as written (translated from Russian).
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.

Questions
The price is per eyelid on the surgeon’s price list: 250,000 ₸ per eyelid with Dr Darbuzov and Dr Nasipov, 300,000 ₸ per eyelid with Dr Kerimzade. Dr Darbuzov and Dr Nasipov have a special price of 400,000 ₸ for two eyelids. Westernisation and epicanthoplasty are in the same price line.
Blepharoplasty removes excess skin, while ptosis surgery shortens or reattaches the muscle that lifts the lid. If the lid edge itself has dropped and covers the pupil, skin isn’t the issue. At RB CLINIC only Dr Bigeldiyev operates on ptosis, 500,000 ₸ per eyelid.
Yes. On RB CLINIC’s price list, westernisation and epicanthoplasty share a line with blepharoplasty: 250,000 ₸ per eyelid with Dr Darbuzov or Dr Nasipov, 300,000 ₸ per eyelid with Dr Kerimzade. The surgeon will tell you at the exam whether it suits you.
Removed skin doesn’t grow back, but the eyelids keep ageing along with the face. The final look is assessed 12–18 months after surgery. How many years it lasts depends on your skin, age and lifestyle, and an honest estimate is only possible after an exam.
On day 12. You can go back to work earlier, after 2–3 days.
The operation itself — no. You’ll feel the anaesthetic injection for the first few seconds, then only touch. There’s no general anaesthesia: you’re awake and can talk to the surgeon. About under-eye bags — see the lower blepharoplasty page.
Booking
Two photos on WhatsApp: eyes open and closed, no make-up, by a window. The surgeon will tell you whether it’s hooding or ptosis and which operation you need.
If it’s ptosis, we’ll tell you so.
