Eyelid Surgery
- Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Lift)
- The operative goals of a blepharoplastic procedure are the restoration of the correct functioning to the affected eyelid(s), and the restoration of the aesthetics of the eye-region of the face, which are achieved by eliminating excess skin from the eyelid(s), smoothing the underlying eye muscles, tightening the supporting structures, and resecting and re-draping the excess fat of the retroseptal area of the eye, in order to produce a smooth anatomic transition from the lower eyelid to the cheek.
- Removal of eyelid tumors (such as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma)
Tear Duct Surgery
- Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR)
- DCR is a surgical procedure to restore the flow of tears into the nose from the lacrimal sac when the nasolacrimal duct does not function. A small incision is made on the side of the nose and some bone is removed to make a connection to the nose. Drains are left behind to prevent the gap from becoming closed and are removed after a few months.
Orbital Surgery
- Orbital Reconstruction
- Ocular Prosthetics (False Eyes)
- Orbital Decompression for Grave's Disease
- Grave's Disease is a condition (often associated with over-active thyroid problems) in which the eye muscles swell. Because the eye socket is bone, there is nowhere for the swelling to be accommodated and as a result the eye is pushed forward into a protruded position. In some patients this is very pronounced. Orbital decompression involves removing some bone from the eye socket to open up one or more sinuses and so make space for the swollen tissue and allowing the eye to move back into normal position.
Pediatric Oculoplastic Surgery
- Congenital Defect Correction
- Eye disorders (children)
