Oculoplastics

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.

Is oculoplastic surgery painful?

The tissues in your face, especially around your eyes, are very sensitive to touch and pain. Anesthesia is part of these surgeries, preventing you from feeling pain during these procedures. General anesthesia, which puts you into a deep sleep so you don’t feel pain, is usually the preferred method. But there are many reasons why local or regional anesthesia, which numb specific areas of your face, would be the best choice for your case.

Is it safe to have oculoplastic surgery?

Generally speaking, oculoplastic surgery is safe. But it does come with some unavoidable risks, which are the same with any type of surgery. Those include: Complications, reactions and side effects from anesthesia, infection, bleeding, pain.
