The most frequently performed aesthetic procedure by oculoplastic surgeons is blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). This procedure targets the visible signs of aging around the eyes to achieve a more rejuvenated and youthful appearance. Eyelid surgery can effectively address:
* Loose, sagging, or wrinkled skin on the upper or lower eyelids
* Puffiness or 'bags' in the lower eyelids caused by displaced fat
* Hollowing or dark circles beneath the eyes (tear troughs)
* Drooping eyelids (ptosis) and eyelid asymmetry
* Excess eyelid skin that may obstruct peripheral vision, a functional concern
Beyond blepharoplasty, oculoplastic surgeons also provide a variety of other aesthetic treatments, including:
* Brow lifting
* Excision of growths and lesions around the eyes and face
* Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections to smooth dynamic wrinkles such as crow's feet and forehead lines
* Dermal filler treatments for volume restoration
* Chemical peels for skin rejuvenation
