Oculoplastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Enhancing Vision, Comfort, and Aesthetics
What is Oculoplastic Surgery?
Oculoplastic surgery encompasses a range of specialized surgical procedures designed to treat the eyelids, tear ducts, and facial structures surrounding the eyes.
These procedures can improve both vision and appearance, helping to restore function and enhance overall facial aesthetics.
Whether addressing drooping eyelids, tear duct blockages, or cosmetic concerns, oculoplastic surgery offers transformative solutions tailored to individual needs.
Eyelid Surgery Treatment Options
Most eyelid surgeries are minimally invasive, performed under local anesthesia, and typically take about an hour. To reduce visible scarring, surgeons make precise incisions along the natural folds of the eyelids, carefully closing them with fine sutures. Recovery is usually swift, with many patients returning to work within a week and experiencing only mild discomfort.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift Surgery)
Drooping eyelids can not only create an aged appearance but also obstruct vision.
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid revision surgery, removes excess tissue from the upper or lower eyelids to restore a youthful, refreshed look while improving sight by eliminating obstructions caused by sagging skin.
Ptosis Surgery (Eyelid Lifting Procedure)
Ptosis occurs when the levator muscle in the eyelid weakens, causing the lid margin to droop into the field of vision.
Ptosis surgery strengthens or repositions the muscle to lift the eyelid, enhancing both appearance and function.
Entropion and Ectropion Repair
- Entropion: A condition where the eyelid turns inward, causing the lashes to rub against the cornea, leading to irritation and potential damage.
- Ectropion: A condition where the eyelid turns outward, exposing the inner surface and causing dryness, irritation, and an increased risk of infection. Both conditions can be corrected with a minor surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia to restore the eyelid’s natural position and function
Lid Lesion Removal
Eyelid lesions are small growths that can appear on or around the eyelids. While many are benign, some may interfere with vision or cause cosmetic concerns.
Surgical removal is a quick and effective procedure that ensures both functional and aesthetic improvements.
