What Is Oculoplastic Surgery?

Oculoplastic surgery (also known as periocular or oculofacial surgery) is a specialized branch of reconstructive surgery that addresses problems around the eye area, eyelids, tear ducts, and eye socket.

The eyelids and the area surrounding the eyes are much more delicate than other tissues in the body. The muscles that open and close the eyelids, along with the fat tissues, tear glands, tear drainage system, skin, and supporting tissues, form a complex structure. In oculoplastics surgery, it is crucial to pay special attention to those structures for preserving overall health of the eyes.

It is of great importance that surgeries in this field are performed by ophthalmologists or oculofacial or facial plastic surgeons who have undergone training in oculoplastics surgery and have experience in surgical procedures, as they possess a deep understanding of eyelid anatomy and the principles of aesthetic surgery. 

In the oculoplastics surgery department, various treatments and reconstructive surgeries are performed, ranging from restoring the natural appearance of drooping eyelids to removing under-eye bags, fitting prosthetic eyes, and performing eye tumor surgeries.

Aesthetic periocular operations can be applied to individuals of any age when recommended necessary by a specialist doctor.
