Are You a Candidate for an Eyelid Lift?

Patients choose blepharoplasty in San Diego with Dr. Cohen for various reasons, including:

Sagging Upper Eyelids: Lifting and tightening the skin to eliminate drooping.
Puffy, Tired-Looking Eyes: Removing or repositioning fat deposits to reduce puffiness.
Congenital or Acquired Defects: Addressing eyelid irregularities appearing at birth or resulting from trauma or surgery.
Under-Eye Bags: Smoothing and tightening the lower eyelids for a refreshed appearance.

The Procedure: Blepharoplasty in San Diego

Dr. Cohen begins the blepharoplasty procedure by making precise incisions in the natural creases of the upper eyelids or just below or within the eyelash line of the lower eyelids. These hidden locations ensure that scarring is minimal and virtually invisible. He then removes or repositions excess skin, muscle, and fat to create a more youthful look, dramatically—but subtly refreshed. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation, allowing for a comfortable experience and a relatively quick recovery.

Your Eyelid Lift Recovery

After an eyelid lift, expect some swelling and bruising, which generally resolves within one to two weeks. Dr. Cohen will provide detailed aftercare instructions and will see you at follow-up appointments. You will need to avoid direct sunlight, rest, and allow the tissues to heal. Eat healthy foods, avoid any alcohol, and follow all aftercare instructions. You should be able to return to your regular activities after about 10 to 14 days, with the results improving as the days pass. The outcome is a naturally rejuvenated eye area that makes you look more awake, alert, and refreshed.
