What is oculoplastic surgery?

Oculoplastic or oculo-facial surgery is often performed by eye surgeons who have undergone specialist training in eyelid and facial plastic surgery. An oculoplastic surgeon understands the complex relationship between the eye and the surrounding structures, which is particularly important when undergoing treatment in this region. Oculoplastic surgeons are also trained to consider the aesthetic aspects of the procedures they perform.
