Oculoplastic Surgery

Ophthalmic plastic surgery is a specialized area of Ophthalmology that deals with cosmetic, plastic and reconstructive problems related to the eyelids the lacrimal (tear) system and the orbit (the bony cavity around the eyeball). These structures can be affected by normal aging changes as well as by injuries, birth defects, tumors, inflammatory (thyroid) or inherited abnormalities. Ophthalmic plastic surgeons are ophthalmologists who have had at least one year of specialized training in plastic and reconstructive surgery around the eye in addition to board certification in ophthalmology.

Most of our ophthalmologists perform a variety of plastic surgery procedures on the eyelids including removal of excess skin, lifting of drooping lids, or repairing inward and outward turning lids. More complicated and many other cosmetic procedures are performed by our fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeons, Dr. Rodney McCarthy and Dr. Michael Abowd.
