Oculoplastics is a field of surgery devoted to the areas of your face around your eyes. It’s a field of surgery that can have a big impact on your life, both because it affects how your eyes work and your appearance. These surgeries can treat and prevent medical issues, repair damage and help you feel better about the way you look.
Oculoplastics can be cosmetic or medical. An important thing to remember is that cosmetic doesn’t mean unimportant or vain.
Oculoplastic surgeries, often referred to simply as oculoplastics, are procedures that repair or alter the appearance of parts of your face connected to and immediately around your eyes. These procedures can affect soft tissues like skin, fat and muscle, and the bones of your skull, too.
