Blepharoplasty San Francisco | Eyelid Surgery by Dr. David Sieber

Understanding Blepharoplasty in San Francisco

Aging often manifests first around the eyes, with concerns like dark circles, sagging skin, or eyelid bags, imparting a tired or sad appearance. While these aesthetic issues frequently relate to aging, they can also be hereditary in certain patients.

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. This surgical technique can be performed on upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both, depending on the patient's specific aesthetic goals.

Surgical Techniques

• Upper Eyelid Surgery: Removes excess skin and fat through an incision hidden within the natural eye crease
• Lower Eyelid Surgery: Repositions fat and removes excess skin to create a smooth transition from eye to cheek
• Performed under local or general anesthesia based on patient needs

Candidate Qualifications for Blepharoplasty

Ideal candidates for eyelid surgery may experience:

• Drooping or sagging eyelid skin
• Puffiness or under-eye bags
• Vision impairment due to excess upper eyelid skin
• Desire to address signs of aging around the eyes

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect mild swelling and bruising following the procedure. Sutures are typically removed 5-7 days post-surgery, with final results developing over several months. Dr. Sieber emphasizes natural-looking outcomes that preserve youthful eye characteristics.
