What is Oculoplasty?
Also known as ophthalmic plastic surgery, oculoplasty is a term used for all kinds of surgical procedures that deal with the eye and its surrounding structures. Cosmetic eye surgery may be performed to improve the appearance of the eye, to provide comfort, or to improve the function of the eye.
One of the most common aesthetic eye surgery procedures is an eye lift, also know as a blepharoplasty. This surgical procedure is performed to remove the excess skin from the patient’s eyelid, with the aim of reducing that baggy appearance, which is a result of aging. A brow lift is another common type of aesthetic eye surgery.
Most cosmetic eye surgery procedures are done as an outpatient operation, which means the patient can usually leave the hospital on the day of the operation.
