Oculoplasty Surgery

Introduction

Oculoplasty refers to surgical procedures designed to improve the function and appearance of the eyes and surrounding areas. It includes surgeries for eyelid reconstruction, tear duct surgery, orbital surgery, and treatments for conditions like ptosis (drooping eyelids), eyelid tumors, and eye socket problems.

Who Can Get It?

Ideal for individuals with eyelid abnormalities, drooping eyelids, or orbital issues affecting vision or appearance.
Often sought by those with eye injuries, congenital deformities, or medical conditions impacting the eyes or eye socket.

How Safe Is It?

Oculoplasty surgeries are generally safe when performed by a skilled specialist. Risks include infection, scarring, dry eyes, or complications from anesthesia, but these are rare.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Improves eye function and appearance; restores vision in some cases; can enhance quality of life.

Cons: Requires post-surgery care; potential for scarring or temporary discomfort; longer recovery for some procedures.

What is the recovery time?

Recovery varies depending on the type of surgery. For minor procedures, recovery can take 1-2 weeks, while more extensive surgeries may require 4-6 weeks for full healing.

Are the results permanent?

Many oculoplasty procedures offer long-lasting or permanent results, though some may require touch-ups over time, especially in cases of aging or new medical conditions.

How much does it cost?

Costs vary based on the complexity of the surgery and the surgeon’s expertise, typically ranging from moderate to mid-range. Some procedures may be covered by insurance if medically necessary.
