Oculoplastic Surgery
About Oculoplastic Surgery
Oculoplastic surgery is a specialised area of eye care that involves surgeries and treatments to improve the health and appearance of the eyelids, eye area, and the structures around the eyes. It’s like a combination of medical and cosmetic procedures performed by skilled surgeons to help with various eye-related issues, from medical problems affecting vision to cosmetic concerns.
The Procedure
The exact details of what happens during the procedure can vary widely based on the specific surgery being performed, whether it’s for medical or cosmetic purposes, and the patient’s individual needs. It’s important to have a thorough consultation with the oculoplastic surgeon before the procedure to understand the process fully and to address any questions or concerns you may have.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the procedure take long?
The duration of an oculoplastic surgery procedure can vary widely depending on the specific type of surgery, its complexity, and the surgeon's experience. Some procedures can be relatively short and take less than an hour, while others may be more complex and take several hours to complete.
Is the procedure painful?
Oculoplastic surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the surgical area and prevents pain during the procedure. In some cases, general anesthesia may be used for more complex surgeries.
