Brighten and refresh your eyes with eyelid surgery in San Francisco. Remove excess skin and fat to achieve a more youthful, alert appearance with natural results.
Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic and functional procedure that removes excess skin, muscle, and fat from the upper or lower eyelids to create a smoother, more refreshed look. In San Francisco, board-certified facial plastic surgeons and oculoplastic specialists use advanced techniques to rejuvenate the eye area while maintaining natural expression and eyelid function.
This procedure is commonly performed to treat drooping upper lids, under-eye bags, or vision obstruction. It can be done for cosmetic improvement or as a medically necessary correction, depending on the patient’s needs.
Eyelid surgery in San Francisco begins with an assessment of eyelid skin, fat pads, and surrounding structures. The procedure may involve removing or repositioning fat, tightening muscles, and trimming excess skin from the upper or lower eyelids, or both. It is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Surgery lasts one to three hours, depending on the areas treated. Most patients return to light activity within seven to ten days.
The procedure is generally outpatient. Patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, and sensitivity for one to two weeks. Cold compresses, eye drops, and elevation are often recommended to aid healing. Final results typically become visible within one to three months as swelling subsides and incisions fade.
Eyelid surgery in San Francisco typically costs between $4,000 and $9,000. Pricing depends on whether the upper, lower, or both eyelids are treated, the surgeon’s expertise, and whether the procedure is combined with other surgeries such as a facelift or brow lift. Most patients return to light activity within seven to ten days, with full healing and final results visible in one to three months.
