What is Oculoplastic Surgery?

Oculoplastic surgery, or ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery, focuses on the delicate structures around the eyes and face. It involves cosmetic and functional procedures to improve the appearance and function of the eyelids, brows, tear ducts, and surrounding facial tissues. Oculoplastic surgeons undergo specialized training in ophthalmology and plastic surgery to provide comprehensive care for conditions affecting the eyes and surrounding areas.

Oculoplastic Services Offered:

  1. Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): Eyelid surgery is a standard oculoplastic procedure aimed at rejuvenating the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. Upper eyelid blepharoplasty can improve hooded eyelids and sagging skin, while lower eyelid blepharoplasty can reduce under-eye bags and puffiness, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
  2. Ptosis Repair: Ptosis, or drooping of the upper eyelid, can affect the appearance and function of the eyes, leading to visual obstruction and eye strain. Ptosis repair surgery involves lifting the drooping eyelid to improve vision and restore eye symmetry.
  3. Entropion and Ectropion Repair: Entropion and ectropion are eyelid conditions characterized by inward or outward turning of the eyelid margin, respectively. These conditions can irritate, tearing, and discomfort. Oculoplastic surgery can correct entropion and ectropion, restoring normal eyelid position and function.
  4. Eyelid Reconstruction: Oculoplastic surgeons perform eyelid reconstruction procedures to restore the appearance and function of the eyelids following trauma, tumor removal, or congenital abnormalities. These procedures aim to preserve vision, protect the eye, and improve facial aesthetics.
  5. Orbital Surgery: Orbital surgery involves procedures to address conditions affecting the eye socket (orbit), such as orbital tumors, fractures, and thyroid eye disease (Graves' disease). Oculoplastic surgeons work closely with ophthalmologists, neurosurgeons, and other specialists to provide comprehensive care for orbital disorders.
  6. Tear Duct Surgery: Tear duct surgery, or dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), treats blocked tear ducts, which can cause excessive tearing, eye discharge, and recurrent infections. Oculoplastic surgeons use minimally invasive techniques to create a new drainage pathway for tears, restoring normal tear flow and relieving symptoms.
