What is Oculoplasty ?
Oculoplasty refers to a range of surgical procedures aimed at correcting and enhancing the appearance and function of the eyelids, tear ducts, and surrounding facial structures. These procedures address both functional and aesthetic concerns, helping to improve vision, comfort, and appearance. Oculoplasty is often sought for issues such as drooping eyelids, eye socket deformities, and tear duct obstructions.
Key Oculoplasty Procedures Include:
- Blepharoplasty: This procedure involves the removal of excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper or lower eyelids to correct drooping or puffiness. Blepharoplasty not only enhances the appearance of the eyes but also can improve vision obstructed by sagging eyelids.
- Ptosis Repair: Ptosis, or drooping of the upper eyelid, can impair vision and affect facial aesthetics. Ptosis repair surgery aims to lift and reposition the eyelid to restore proper function and a natural appearance.
- Eyelid Reconstruction: This procedure is performed to repair and reconstruct eyelids damaged by trauma, cancer, or congenital issues. Eyelid reconstruction helps restore normal function and appearance, ensuring the protection of the eye and surrounding structures.
- Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR): DCR is a surgical procedure to treat blocked tear ducts. By creating a new drainage pathway, this procedure helps alleviate symptoms of chronic tearing and eye infections caused by tear duct obstructions.
- Orbital Decompression Surgery: This surgery is used to treat conditions affecting the eye socket, such as thyroid eye disease. It involves removing bone or tissue to relieve pressure on the eyes and improve symptoms like bulging or discomfort.
- Lacrimal Sac Surgery: This procedure addresses issues with the lacrimal sac, such as inflammation or infection, to improve tear drainage and alleviate symptoms of dry eyes or excessive tearing.
