Oculoplastic Surgery
What is Oculoplastic Surgery?
Oculoplastic surgery is plastic surgery isolated to the areas around the eyes: the
eyelids, orbit (bones behind the eye) and lacrimal (tear drain) system. An oculoplastic
surgeon is an ophthalmologist who performs cosmetic and reconstructive procedures
on the eyelids, orbit (bones and anatomic structures behind the eyeball) and lacrimal
(tear drain) system. The field of oculoplastic surgery combines the precision and
microsurgery of ophthalmology with the aesthetic and reconstructive concepts of
plastic surgery. Oculoplastic surgery is a small, highly selective subspeciality
of ophthalmology.
