Oculoplastic Surgery is a subspecialty of ophthalmology that focuses on the eyelids, the tear ducts, and the face around the eyes.It is a combination of ocular surgery and plastic surgery, with the goal of safely improving the appearance and health of the eyes, eyelids, and surrounding structures.
Common procedures include eyelid lifts, eyelid reconstructions, and tear duct repairs.Oculoplastic Surgery can also treat medical conditions such as droopy eyelids, thyroid eye disease, and eyelid tumors.
Oculoplastic Surgery is minimally invasive and usually performed on an outpatient basis.The recovery time for Oculoplastic Surgery is typically short and patients can return to their normal activities soon after the procedure.
