Oculoplastic surgery or reconstructive surgery
or ophthalmic plastic surgery manages problems
primarily related to the tissues around
the eyes encompassing eyelid surgery to
change the structure and function of the
lids, the tear duct system, the eye socket
and orbitofacial.
A wide array of surgical procedures
is included in this area, but among the
most common are surgeries to correct loose,
droopy or baggy eyelids, re-establish drainage
for watery eyes due to tear duct blockages,
reconstruct eye sockets and improve cosmetic
appearance through Botox injections and
oculoplastic procedures.
A key element of oculoplastic
surgery is surgical repair of injuries,
not only to improve the appearance of the
eyelid, but more importantly, to allow the
eyelids to protect the eye adequately.
The ever-rising demand for
improved cosmetic appearance of the face
has resulted in increased numbers of oculoplastic
procedures. Botox injections, mini-incision
periorbital rejuvenation for areas above
and below the eyes for cosmetic improvement
as well as functional restoration are commonly
provided.
Conditions like eye allergies,
eye infections and dry eyes are also addressed.
