What is Oculofacial Plastic Surgery?

Ophthalmic plastic surgery, also known as oculofacial surgery, is a specialized field that focuses on surgical and non-surgical procedures involving the eyelids, tear ducts, orbit (eye socket), and surrounding facial structures. These procedures can be medically necessary to improve vision and eye function or performed for cosmetic enhancement to refresh and rejuvenate your appearance.

What to Expect: The Surgical Process

Consultation and Evaluation

During your initial consultation, our oculoplastic surgeons will assess your concerns, discuss treatment options, and determine if surgery is necessary. We provide before-and-after photos to help visualize expected results.

Our minimally invasive techniques result in faster healing and reduced downtime. Most surgeries are performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you can return home the same day.

Typical Recovery Timeline:

  1. First 48 Hours: Swelling and bruising peak; use cold compresses and rest.
  2. One Week: Stitches are removed; most patients can return to normal activities.
  3. Two to Three Weeks: Swelling and bruising subside; final results begin to appear.
  4. One to Three Months: Full healing with optimal aesthetic and functional results.
