Eyelid Surgery in San Francisco By Bay Area Surgeon, Dr. Aycock

Eyelid lift (also called blepharoplasty) is commonly performed to remove bags under the eyes or correct drooping eyelids, conditions that can make you look years older than you really are. Sometimes, droopy eyelids can and even impair your vision.

Eyelid lift surgery may be recommended for anyone with baggy eyes or drooping eyelids who wants to look younger and more alert. It is also helpful for patients whose vision is impaired by droopy eyelids.

Eyelid Lift Procedure Information

Eyelid surgery may be performed under local anesthesia in our fully accredited surgical facility. San Francisco surgeon Dr. Aycock will make tiny incisions along the natural lines of your eyelids to lift and tighten the skin around the eyes. Scarring is minimal.

Recovery from Eyelid Surgery

You can expect to be back to work within a few days of surgery, although complete recovery from an eyelid lift may take a few weeks. Bruising, swelling, and some discomfort are part of the recovery process, and can typically be relieved with cold compresses and oral medication prescribed by Dr. Aycock.
