How time affects your eyes
Your eyes are often the first place where time leaves its mark. As the years pass, you may notice changes in your eyelids, including looser skin, puffiness, and shadows, which can shift how others perceive your energy. The muscles and tissues supporting your eyelids naturally weaken, making the area more vulnerable to drooping or heaviness. You might also notice that makeup no longer sits the same way, or that your eyes look more tired, even when you feel rested. These changes can affect how you express yourself, which is why many patients consider an eyelid lift in the Bay Area at Lunata Eyelid and Cosmetic Surgery to restore a brighter, more refreshed appearance..
What is Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift)?
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that refreshes the eyelids by addressing excess skin, puffiness, or drooping that can alter the shape and expression of your eyes. At Lunata Eyelid and Cosmetic Surgery, blepharoplasty in the Bay Area and Berkeley is approached with a light touch to enhance your natural anatomy rather than change it.

The steps involved in your blepharoplasty
Your blepharoplasty, or eyelid lift, begins with a consultation, during which Dr. Eliasieh evaluates your eyelid anatomy, listens to your goals, and designs a plan that reflects your unique features. On the day of surgery, you will receive local anesthesia with optional sedation to help you feel comfortable. Dr. Eliasieh makes precise incisions along the natural folds of the upper eyelid or just beneath the lash line or inside the lower eyelid, depending on your procedure. He then adjusts or removes excess skin, fat, or tissue using his light touch to refine the area, an approach that has made him a trusted choice for blepharoplasty in the Bay Area.
After surgery, you will rest in a recovery area before heading home the same day. You can expect temporary swelling, bruising, or dryness, which gradually settles over the following days and weeks. Dr. Eliasieh provides clear instructions to support swift healing. As the tissues settle, your eyes appear more energized, and the results continue to evolve and age naturally. Most patients resume light activities, such as driving within 2 to 3 days. For upper eyelid lift surgery, we recommend 5 to 7 days off from work. If both upper and lower eyelid lift surgeries are performed, recovery may extend 10 to 14 days. The extent of swelling and bruising is highly individual as is the nature of your work, and may influence your decision on when you are ready to return.
If you’re considering an eyelid lift in Berkeley, our team is here to provide expert care and natural-looking results.
When will I see the final results?
You will notice an early change in your eyelids within the first few weeks as swelling subsides, but your results continue to refine over time. Most of the visible healing happens within a few months, allowing your eyes to appear clearer and more rested.
The final outcome gradually takes shape as the tissues settle into their new positions.
