Ophthalmic plastic surgery
Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery is a relatively newer branch that encompasses Oculoplastics (disorders of the eyelids and tissues around the eyes), Orbital surgery (full range of disorders affecting the orbit including tumors, fractures, thyroid eye disease, etc), Facial aesthetics (science to improve your facial appearance), Dacryology (tear duct problems) and Socket reconstruction (blind eye cosmetic rehabilitation, mucous membrane grafts, etc).
An Ophthalmic Plastic/Oculoplastic Surgeon is a surgeon who is an Ophthalmologist who has been specially trained in the plastic surgery of the face and periocular region and is an expert in the diagnosis and management of the range of subjects mentioned above.
