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.
Common Conditions Treated with Oculoplastic Surgery
- Botox injections and Fillers: Non-surgical facial rejuvenation using Botox and dermal fillers.
- Ptosis (Droopy Eyelids): Lifting of the upper eyelid to improve vision and appearance.
- Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery): Removal of excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids.
- Ectropion and Entropion Repair: Correction of eyelid malpositioning that can cause irritation.
- Tear Duct Obstruction (Lacrimal Surgery): Tear duct surgery to restore proper tear drainage.
- Eyelid and Facial Reconstruction: Restoring function and aesthetics after trauma or tumor removal.
- Thyroid Eye Disease Surgery: Managing bulging or misaligned eyes caused by thyroid disorders.

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.
Procedure and Recovery
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:
- First 48 Hours: Swelling and bruising peak; use cold compresses and rest.
- One Week: Stitches are removed; most patients can return to normal activities.
- Two to Three Weeks: Swelling and bruising subside; final results begin to appear.
- One to Three Months: Full healing with optimal aesthetic and functional results.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ideal candidates are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcome. If you experience droopy eyelids, excessive tearing, or under-eye bags, a consultation with our specialists can determine the best treatment for you.
- Blepharoplasty & Ptosis Repair: 1-2 weeks for swelling and bruising to subside; full recovery in 4-6 weeks.
- Brow Lift: 2-3 weeks for swelling to diminish; final results visible in a few months.

Surgical results are long-lasting, with blepharoplasty and ptosis repair offering improvements for 10+ years. Non-surgical treatments, like Botox and fillers, require periodic maintenance.
As with any surgery, risks include swelling, scarring, and temporary discomfort. Our expert surgeons minimize risks through advanced techniques and comprehensive aftercare.
Functional procedures (such as ptosis repair or tear duct surgery) may be covered by insurance if they impair vision. Cosmetic surgeries are typically not covered but financing options are available.
