What is Oculoplastic Surgery
Oculoplasty is a type of surgery performed on the areas around your eyes—eyelids, tear ducts, and eye socket—by ophthalmologists specially trained in plastic or reconstructive surgery. You may elect to undergo an oculoplastic procedure for medical or for cosmetic reasons.
