About

Eyelid and facial aesthetics are part of a specialized field known as oculoplastics that focuses on enhancing the appearance and function of the eyelids, eyebrows, and surrounding facial structures.

Symptoms

Various eyelid and facial conditions can affect both your appearance and eye health. The following symptoms may indicate the need for oculoplastic treatment:

  • Ptosis (Drooping Eyelids): Excessive drooping of the upper eyelids that may obstruct vision or create an asymmetrical appearance.
  • Eyelid Malposition: Abnormal positioning of the eyelids, including ectropion (outward turning) or entropion (inward turning), causing discomfort, irritation, or excessive tearing.
  • Eyebrow and Forehead Ptosis: Sagging or drooping of the eyebrows or forehead, leading to a tired or aged appearance.
  • Eyelid Lesions: Unusual growths, such as eyelid tumors, cysts, or skin lesions, that may impact both appearance and eye health.
  • Tear Drainage Disorders: Problems with tear drainage resulting in excessive tearing or chronic eye irritation.
  • Orbital Conditions: Conditions affecting the bony socket surrounding the eye, including tumors, fractures, or thyroid eye disease, which may cause bulging eyes, double vision, or vision changes.

Diagnosis

We use advanced techniques to accurately evaluate and diagnose eyelid and facial conditions. 
The diagnostic process may include:

Our oculoplastic specialists will conduct a detailed examination of your eyelids, eyebrows, and surrounding facial structures to assess symmetry, positioning, and overall aesthetics.

This non-invasive imaging test captures high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina, providing detailed information about its structure and identifying any abnormalities.

If necessary, visual field testing may be performed to evaluate any potential vision obstructions caused by drooping eyelids or other conditions.

Advanced imaging technologies, such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), may be utilized to assess the underlying structures, identify tumors or abnormalities, and aid in treatment planning.

If suspicious or abnormal growths are detected, a biopsy may be recommended to determine their nature and guide appropriate treatment.

Treatment

Our oculoplastic specialists are skilled in both surgical and non-surgical techniques.

Treatment options may include:

 

Blepharoplasty

A surgical procedure to remove excess skin, fat, or muscle from the eyelids, enhancing both aesthetics and vision.

 

Ptosis Repair

Surgical correction of drooping upper eyelids, restoring a more youthful and alert appearance while improving vision.

 

Brow Lift

Elevating the eyebrows to a higher position, reducing forehead wrinkles, and restoring a more rejuvenated appearance.

 

Eyelid Reconstruction

Surgical repair of eyelid malpositions or reconstruction after trauma or tumor removal, ensuring optimal function and aesthetics.

 

Tear Duct Surgery

Procedure that aims to restore proper tear drainage by repairing or creating a new pathway for tears to flow from the eyes to the nose.
