Non-Surgical Eye Lift in San Diego with Dr. John Hilinski
As we age, the delicate skin around the eyes often begins to sag, wrinkle, or develop under-eye bags, resulting in a tired or aged appearance. For those who desire a more youthful look but wish to avoid surgery, a non-surgical eye lift offers a minimally invasive option. Dr. John Hilinski, a renowned board-certified facial plastic surgeon in San Diego, specializes in non-surgical procedures that can rejuvenate the eye area without the need for extensive recovery or invasive techniques.
Dr. Hilinski, Nicole, and team are absolutely amazing! Dr. Hilinski is very knowledgeable, takes the time to thoroughly explain procedures, and has gone above and beyond with patient care during my procedure and throughout all of my follow-ups.
What Is a Non-Surgical Eye Lift?
A non-surgical eye lift refers to a series of cosmetic treatments designed to lift and rejuvenate the area around the eyes without the need for traditional surgical incisions. These treatments help tighten skin, reduce puffiness, smooth wrinkles, and refresh the eye area. Dr. Hilinski utilizes advanced non-invasive techniques that can yield natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

Non-Surgical Eye Lift Techniques Offered by Dr. Hilinski
Dr. Hilinski offers several cutting-edge non-surgical techniques to address common signs of aging around the eyes:
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers such as Restylane® and JUVÉDERM® can be used to smooth out hollow areas under the eyes (tear troughs) and reduce the appearance of dark circles. These injectables restore volume, creating a more refreshed look.
Botox
Botox injections are a popular choice for smoothing out crow’s feet and fine lines around the eyes. Botox works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, resulting in smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.
Profound RF (Radiofrequency Microneedling)
Profound RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, which tightens and lifts the skin around the eyes. This treatment is ideal for patients with loose or sagging skin.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to tighten the skin by stimulating collagen production at deeper layers. It’s a great option for those seeking to lift the brow or reduce under-eye sagging without surgery.
Plasma Pen
The Plasma Pen uses plasma energy to tighten and lift skin, especially around the eyelids. This treatment helps smooth wrinkles and reduce sagging skin, providing a lifted, more youthful look.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser treatments, such as CO2 laser resurfacing, can help improve skin texture and reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. By promoting collagen renewal, laser skin resurfacing enhances the appearance of the skin, giving it a smoother and firmer look.
What to Expect During a Non-Surgical Eye Lift
During your consultation with Dr. Hilinski, he will assess your concerns and develop a customized treatment plan based on your unique needs. The non-surgical procedures are typically performed in-office and can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the techniques used.
You can expect minimal discomfort during the treatment, with most procedures requiring only topical anesthesia or light sedation. Following the procedure, you may experience mild redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours to a few days.
Recovery and Results
One of the primary benefits of a non-surgical eye lift is the quick recovery time. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities the same day or shortly thereafter. Results can be seen immediately in some cases, and improvements continue over the following weeks as collagen production increases.
The results of a non-surgical eye lift can last anywhere from several months to a couple of years, depending on the treatment. Regular maintenance treatments may be recommended to prolong the effects.
