An eyelid lift is a very individualized procedure in which your goals should be realistically determined and discussed with San Francisco physician Dr. Roy Kim. Together you will determine what specific procedures will be performed. An Eyelid lift is often performed in conjunction with other procedures such as collagen or BOTOX® injections. Once your goals have been determined, you will set a date for this procedure in San Francisco and will be given instructions about how to prepare.

When the date for your eyelid lift in San Francisco has arrived, you should plan on the surgery taking several hours or more depending on which procedures you are having performed. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Kim will make incisions that follow the natural creases in your upper eyelids and just below your lashes on the lower eyelids. This will help to keep the incisions less visible. Plastic surgeon Dr. Kim will then separate the skin from the other tissues so that the fat below it and the excess skin can be removed. The incision is then secured back into place.

All procedures are performed with anesthesia to minimize any discomfort or pain. The eyes may feel tight or sore for a period of time following the procedure, but these effects can be minimized by medications prescribed by your doctor. Patients can anticipate that a week to ten days of recovery time will be required before returning to full activity. Please visit our home page to learn more about eyelid lifts in San Francisco.
