Have you ever wanted more beautiful eyes? Orbital surgery may be the solution for you. Oculoplastics range from a variety of procedures revolving around the eyes and face. The more common procedures are blepharoplasty and ptosis. In blepharoplasty procedures, or eyelifts, plastic surgery is performed to remove excess skin from around the eye lids or excess fat is removed to beautify the eye and facial features. Ptosis procedures are performed to repair droopy brows or eyelids. Both procedures will enhance or repair the eyes.
Blepharoplasty procedures can be performed on the upper or lower eyelids. For upper lid blepharoplasty, excess skin or fat pockets are removed to lift the eyelids and also the brow line to give a more youthful appearance. It can also fix the occurrence of droopy eyes (ptosis). In lower lid blepharoplasty, the skin and fat under the eyelids is removed to help reduce sagging and heavy set eyes. Before performing any procedures in oculoplastics Beverly Hills surgeons recommend a thorough consultation and review of all areas of the eyes. This helps reduce any complications from occurring by identifying any abnormalities or symptoms.
For ptosis procedures, the eyelids or brows are repaired to lift the skin and enhance the facial appearance. Ptosis happens in rare cases, sometimes known as lazy eye, where a procedure will be required to fix. Most ptosis issues are related to age and the natural sagging of facial features.
Another eyelid procedure that can help repair facial features is tear duct surgery. In tear duct surgery, or dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), the tear ducts are repaired and restore the flow of tears into the nasal passages. The traditional dacryocystorhinostomy procedure requires a small incision to be made on the side of the nose to gain access to the nasal passage. This procedure can lead to scarring which is where the endoscopic DCR can help prevent. In endoscopic DCR, a small scope is inserted into the nasal passage to open a path for the tear ducts. This procedure has become the standard over the traditional incision method. The endoscopic procedure is less invasive and produces no scarring, greatly benefiting the patient.
