What is Oculoplastic Surgery?
Simply put, oculoplastic surgery is any reconstructive or cosmetic procedure that is performed on or near the eyes. However, not every surgeon who performs these types of procedures is trained as an Oculoplastic Surgeon. Oculoplastic Surgeons are specialists who combine ophthalmology (eye care) skills with plastic surgery skills in order to care for both the function and aesthetic form of the eyes and face.
Examples of oculoplastic procedures:
- Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) smooths and rejuvenates the lower lids. Learn more about Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
- Brow Lift Surgery to lift a drooping brow and restore a youthful look, which can be performed as a standalone procedure or as part of a facelift
- Orbital Surgery to repair injuries such as orbital fractures or deformities to the underlying bones of the eye area
- Skin Cancer Treatment to remove orbital tumors or growths from the eyelid skin or around the eyes
- Reconstructive Surgical Procedures to correct conditions such as ptosis or other medical conditions of the eye area
Non-surgical Cosmetic Procedures including injectables such as BOTOX to address crow’s feet and fine lines and dermal fillers to restore lost volume and smooth away deep wrinkles.
Why Choose an Oculoplastic Surgeon?
The fact is that any cosmetic or medical procedure carries some risk of side effects or complications, and you owe it to yourself to minimize these risks by choosing the most qualified surgeon possible. How do you know if your facial plastic surgeon is an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon? The American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) only accepts members who are board-certified with a minimum of four years training in ophthalmology and additional fellowship training in aesthetic and reconstructive oculoplastic procedures, so we recommend checking if your surgeon is a member of ASOPRS.1 Contact us today to schedule your consultation appointment.
