What Is Cosmetic Eye Surgery?

Cosmetic eye surgery, often called oculoplastic surgery, involves procedures designed to improve the appearance and function of the eyes and surrounding structures. This specialized plastic eye surgery can address various concerns, from aging effects such as drooping eyelids and under-eye bags to congenital issues that affect vision and eye health. Our doctors are also talented at complementary procedures like brow lifts and facial fat transfer.

Benefits of Cosmetic Eye Surgery

The most obvious benefit of plastic eye surgery is aesthetic improvement. After undergoing one or more of these procedures, you should look younger, more attractive, and less tired. Cosmetic eye surgeries also offer numerous benefits beyond aesthetics. They can significantly enhance visual function, alleviate discomfort, and prevent long-term eye damage. You may also find that these procedures enhance self-esteem and quality of life.

How Do Oculoplastic Surgeons Differ from Ophthalmologists?

Both types of doctors are eye surgeons. However, oculoplastic surgeons undergo an extra two years of training once they have completed their opthalmological schooling, as mandated by the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS).  During these additional years of education, oculoplastic surgeons learn reconstructive and cosmetic surgery techniques to make positive improvements to the eyelids, eyebrows, tear ducts, and eye sockets.

Ophthalmic Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Inc.’s commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of our practice. Our skilled surgeons combine extensive experience with the latest advancements in eye surgery to provide personalized treatments that prioritize safety, effectiveness, and natural-looking results.

• Expertise: Our surgeons are oculoplastic specialists, ensuring that you receive care from professionals who are experts in the delicate structures of the eye and the surrounding skin and tissue.
• Advanced Technology: We utilize state-of-the-art surgical techniques and equipment, allowing more precise interventions and shorter recovery times.
• Patient-Centered Care: Every patient deserves a unique treatment plan. Our team spends time understanding your goals and concerns, ensuring that your enhancement journey is comfortable and fulfilling.

Our doctors strongly recommend that you choose an oculoplastic surgeon for any eye or eye-adjacent surgery you undergo. Traditional cosmetic surgeons are generally trained in various surgeries performed throughout the body (including the abdomen and breasts), and therefore, they lack specialized knowledge about ocular anatomy. Oculoplastic surgeons know the eye intimately and can ensure that functionality is not hindered — and, in many cases, is improved!
