Oculoplastics in San Francisco
Medical Precision and Natural-Looking Eyelid Results
At Mosaddegh Eye Institute, our team provides oculoplastics in San Francisco for patients who need medical, functional, or cosmetic care for the eyelids and surrounding eye structures. Dr. Lillie Mosaddegh combines ophthalmic expertise, surgical precision, and an artistic eye to evaluate concerns such as drooping eyelids, eyelid laxity, eyelid irritation, tear duct concerns, and cosmetic eyelid changes.
Because oculoplastic surgery involves delicate anatomy around the eyes, care should be guided by an eye physician who understands vision, eyelid function, ocular surface health, and facial balance. Our goal is to help patients achieve safer, natural-looking outcomes while protecting long-term eye health.
What Is Oculoplastic Surgery?
Oculoplastic surgery is a specialized area of ophthalmology focused on the eyelids, tear ducts, orbit, and structures surrounding the eyes. These procedures can address medical issues, such as ptosis, eyelid malposition, irritation, blocked tear drainage, or impaired peripheral vision, as well as cosmetic concerns such as excess upper eyelid skin and under-eye changes.
At Mosaddegh Eye Institute, Dr. Lillie Mosaddegh evaluates both the visual and aesthetic impact of eyelid concerns. Treatment recommendations are based on eyelid position, ocular surface health, facial anatomy, symptoms, and patient goals. The emphasis is on precise, conservative planning that supports eye health, function, comfort, and natural-looking results.
