Eyelid Lift in the Greater Sacramento Area

A tried-and-true solution to restore a more open, refreshed look to your eyes

When you’re awake, well-rested, and alert, you have a right to look awake, well-rested, and alert! So, if sagging skin on your upper and lower eyelids is causing you to appear half-asleep all day long, we understand your frustration. We can also help end it.

Cosmetic eyelid lift surgery (a.k.a blepharoplasty) removes sagging skin and repositions fat and muscle around the eyelids to restore a more youthful, refreshed look. Our facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Haley Bray, applies her advanced training and years of experience to ensure your eyes look totally natural after surgery—and much better.

How eyelid surgery can help

If you lead a healthy lifestyle and get plenty of sleep, but still have a chronically tired appearance to your eyes, chances are it’s caused by excess, sagging skin on your eyelids. Blepharoplasty corrects these issues, allowing you (and the world) to see the real you, not the “gee, you look tired” you.

Dr. Bray specializes in eyelid lift procedures, which involve removing excess, sagging skin and sometimes excess fat from the upper and lower eyelids to restore a more natural shape and open look to the eyes.

What upper eyelid surgery can treat

Dr. Bray uses an upper blepharoplasty procedure to address cosmetic and functional eye concerns:

  • Refines definition to the upper eyelid crease
  • Corrects a heavy, hooded look to the upper eyelids
  • Restores a more open, alert appearance to the eyes
  • Improves vision if sagging skin is obstructing your sight

What lower eyelid surgery can treat

Dr. Bray uses a lower blepharoplasty procedure to address cosmetic eye concerns:

  • Treats under eye bags or “puffiness” from excess fat deposits
  • Tightens droopy eyelids for a lifted, smoother under-eye contour
  • Complements an upper blepharoplasty for complete aesthetic eye rejuvenation

All the key facts you need

Dr. Bray performs eyelid lift procedures at our private, on-site surgery center. Depending on procedure specifics, you may have general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.

Upper eyelid surgery

Dr. Bray places incisions inconspicuously in the upper eyelid crease—once healed, no one will know you had surgery. Excess skin and fat are removed from the upper eyelid, which may involve removing or repositioning some of the muscle tissue as well. Once the excess skin and fat have been removed and Dr. Bray has achieved a natural-looking appearance, she will carefully close the incision with sutures. About one week after your surgery, these sutures are then removed.

Lower eyelid surgery

Incisions are placed either on the inside of the lower eyelid or just below the lower lash line to minimize scarring. Dr. Bray will then remove excess skin and fat from the lower eyelid, and tighten the remaining muscles and tissues for a smoother, refreshed appearance. This may involve removing or repositioning some of the muscle tissue as well. In some cases, an incision is made inside the lower eyelid if no skin needs to be removed to achieve your aesthetic goals.

Dr. Bray will close the incision with sutures.

Expect a 1 to 3-hour procedure. Upper eyelid surgery on its own using local anesthesia takes around 1 hour, while a combined procedure with upper and lower eyelid surgery can take around 3 hours. Then you can go home to rest and recover. Get more info on eyelid lift recovery »

How much does eyelid surgery cost?

During your consultation with Dr. Bray, she will be able to provide a more precise cost estimate for your procedure. We also have financing options which can help you pay for your procedure at an affordable monthly installments.
