If you are considering an eyelid lift (Blepharoplasty) or specialized eyelid reconstruction, you already know how important it is to find a surgeon you can trust completely.
Today, more and more patients from the Middle East, East Africa, Europe, and Western countries are choosing to travel abroad for medical care. If you are looking for world-class, premium results without the incredibly high price tags of Western clinics, Mumbai Eye Plastic Surgery (MEPS) in India is designed just for you.
Here is a simple look at why international patients trust us with their eyes, and how easy we make the entire journey.
1. World-Class Quality at a Fraction of the Cost
Medical care in countries like the US, UK, or UAE can be incredibly expensive, often involving long waiting lists. By choosing MEPS in Mumbai, you can save up to 50 % on your surgical costs—without compromising on safety, hygiene, or clinical quality. We use the exact same approved technologies and high-end hospital environments that you would find in London, New York, or Dubai.
2. Elite Training You Can Verify
The biggest fear when traveling for surgery is the skill of the doctor. Our founding team completed advanced clinical fellowships at the world-renowned UCLA Stein Eye Institute in the USA and the LV Prasad Eye Institute, India.
Because our surgeons are USA-trained, there is absolutely zero language barrier. Our entire team speaks fluent English, and we follow strict international medical protocols to ensure your safety from start to finish.
3. We Specialize Only in Eyes
Unlike general plastic surgery clinics that perform body surgeries, MEPS is a highly specialized boutique center. We focus 100% of our work on the eyelids, face, and tear ducts. This micro-precision ensures your results look completely natural—never over-pulled or “surprised.”

International Patient FAQs: Travelling to MEPS Mumbai for Eyelid Surgery
Travel & Logistics
- Do I need a special visa to travel to India for surgery?
Yes. You will need an e-Medical Visa (M-Visa). This is an official visa category provided by the Indian government for medical tourists. Once you confirm your digital consultation, our team will issue an official Visa Invitation Letter to fast-track your online application.
- Which neighborhood in Mumbai is the clinic located in?
Our center is in Bandra West, often called the “Queen of Mumbai’s Suburbs.” It is a premium, safe, and highly vibrant coastal neighborhood popular with expats and international travelers. It features world-class hotels, international cafes, and beautiful seaside walkways.
- How far is the clinic from the international airport?
MEPS Bandra West is located approximately 25 to 35 minutes away from the Mumbai International Airport (BOM), depending on traffic. Taxis and app-based rides (like Uber) are easily available at the airport terminal.
- Where should I stay during my recovery week?
We recommend staying at premium hotels within the Bandra West or nearby Santacruz/Khar areas. This ensures you are only 5 to 10 minutes away from our clinic for your follow-up appointments. Our international patient desk will provide you with a curated list of trusted, medical-tourist-friendly hotel recommendations upon booking.
Medical & Surgical Doubts
- How can I get an evaluation if I live in another country?
We conduct seamless Virtual Photo Assessments. You simply email or WhatsApp us high-quality, clear photographs of your eyes from a few specific angles. Our UCLA-trained surgeons will review your case, arrange a video call to discuss your goals, and provide an accurate treatment plan and price quote before you book your flights [UCLA Stein Eye Institute].
- Will I have to stay in a hospital overnight?
No. Most aesthetic and reconstructive eyelid procedures (like blepharoplasty or ptosis correction) are performed as daycare procedures. This means you will walk into our clinic, undergo your precise surgery under comfortable local anesthesia/sedation, and return to your hotel room to rest the very same afternoon.
- How many days do I need to stay in Mumbai after my surgery?
For most standard eyelid surgeries, you will need to stay in Mumbai for 7 days. We perform your procedure on Day 2, allow you to rest for a few days, and remove your microscopic stitches on Day 7. Once your stitches are out and a final check is complete, you are fully cleared to board your flight home.

Not at all. Our founding surgeons completed advanced clinical fellowships at the UCLA Stein Eye Institute in the United States. Our entire medical team, coordinators, and nursing staff speak fluent, clear English.

We accept all major international credit cards, secure bank wire transfers, and digital international payments. We provide transparent, itemized invoices prior to your arrival so there are absolutely no hidden costs or surprises.
