FAQs

Oculofacial plastic surgery is a specialized field of plastic surgery focused on the eyes, eyelids, brows, forehead, and face. This includes cosmetic and reconstructive procedures to enhance aesthetics, restore function, and address medical conditions affecting the delicate structures around the eyes.

An oculofacial plastic surgeon undergoes additional specialized training in ophthalmology and plastic surgery, focusing exclusively on procedures around the eyes and face. This ensures a deep understanding of eyelid anatomy, eye function, and facial harmony, leading to natural-looking results with optimal safety.

Most patients experience:

• Mild swelling and bruising for 7–10 days
• Returning to work within 1–2 weeks (depending on the procedure)
• Final results appearing within a few months as healing completes

We provide customized aftercare instructions to ensure the best healing process.

Some of the most sought-after procedures include:

• Upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) – Removes excess skin, fat, and puffiness for a rejuvenated look.
• Brow lift – Lifts sagging brows and reduces forehead wrinkles.
• Facelift and neck lift – Tightens sagging skin for a youthful appearance.
• Eyelid ptosis repair – Corrects droopy eyelids that obstruct vision or cause tired-looking eyes.
• Under-eye filler or fat grafting – Improves hollows and dark circles for a refreshed look.

Surgical results typically last years to a lifetime, depending on factors like genetics, lifestyle, and skincare. Procedures like blepharoplasty or a brow lift offer long-term improvements, while non-surgical treatments may require maintenance touch-ups.

Ideal candidates:

• Are in good health
• Have realistic expectations
• Want to enhance their appearance while maintaining natural results
• Experience signs of aging such as droopy eyelids, under-eye bags, or sagging skin
