Plastic surgery is an exceptional surgical specialty in that it treats disease but also helps to improves an individual’s appearance. That is to say, plastic surgery may be reconstructive in nature or it may have an aesthetic objective. This is true of plastic surgery in general, but especially of eyelid plastic surgery. Eyelid plastic surgeons, also known as oculoplastic surgeons, are eye specialists who, after two years or more of training, dedicate themselves to plastic surgery of the structures around the eye, including the forehead, eyelids, and midface.
Oculoplastic surgeons perform diverse operations around the eyes that aim to improve the function and appearance of this area as a whole. Any aesthetic or reconstructive treatment is done taking into account, first and foremost, the health of eyes. In fact, visual health is the first priority of an eyelid surgeon when performing any cosmetic or reconstructive surgery on the face.
A significant proportion of the treatments offered by this surgical specialty deals with age-related changes in the periocular area, such as droopy eyelids and bags under the eyes. However, there is a plethora of procedures that are done for reconstructive or functional reasons that also achieve a cosmetic result. In either case, the goal of the eyelid surgeon is to improve the function and appearance of the eyes and recover a youthful look.
