Cosmetic Surgery at Shiley Eye Center

The way you feel about yourself has a great impact on how you think, act, and interact with others. It can also affect the way you are perceived by others. When you feel good about yourself, your self confidence shows.

The eyes are termed "the window to the soul,” as they reveal much about a person’s personality, feelings, and mood. Restoring the youthfulness around your eyes can have a great impact on your overall appearance.

At the UCSD Shiley Eye Center, we offer an array of aesthetic procedures that can help rejuvenate your appearance. Shiley’s surgical suite, one of the newest and pre-eminent in North America, is designed for and completely devoted to surgeries of the eye. Specialized equipment and efficient in-room layout create an ideal environment to ensure the best possible results for patients. Further, we provide a discreet location, offering our patients privacy and confidentiality.

Aesthetic procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis, under local or sometimes general anesthesia. Most patients can resume normal activities over the next couple of days. Mild swelling and bruising gradually disappear in one or two weeks with most patients describing their total experience as completely painless.
