Oculoplastic Surgery
Oculoplastic surgery is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the surgical and medical treatment of conditions affecting the eyelids, tear ducts, and the surrounding facial structures. This type of surgery can address issues such as droopy eyelids, eyelid tumors, and tear duct obstructions, improving both function and appearance.
Surgeons who perform oculoplastic procedures are often ophthalmologists or plastic surgeons with additional training in this area. Common procedures include blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), ptosis repair (lifting droopy eyelids), and dacryocystorhinostomy (creating a new tear drainage pathway).
