Oculoplastic Surgery

What is Oculoplastic Surgery?

Oculoplastic Surgery is a subspecialty within the area of ophthalmology that treats diseases related to the lids, orbital region and the lacrimal system.

Oculoplastic Surgery

This subspecialty includes lid malposition problems such as droopy lid, tumors, lid reconstruction, tearing problems among other pathology.

This area of ophthalmology deals with various aesthetic treatments such as facial rejuvenation which can include blepharoplasty or topical treatments such as botulinum toxin (Botox) or hyaloronic acid (Juvaderm, Restylane).

Only an oculoplastic surgeon has a complete understanding of the complex anatomy of the lids and its close relationship with the eye, and as such, the person most suited to handling these anatomical structures during surgery.
