What is Oculoplastic Surgery?

Oculoplastic surgery is a specific field within ophthalmology that focuses on the diagnosis and management of various conditions affecting the structures around the eyes. This includes the eyelids, eyebrows, tear ducts, and the surrounding facial tissues.

The oculoplastic surgeon at Reflections at St. Luke’s, Dr. Villanustre, is trained to perform both functional and cosmetic procedures to ensure optimal eye health and aesthetics. Oculoplastic surgery can accomplish a wide variety of functional and cosmetic goals, and your eye doctor can help you determine which procedures are best for your individual needs.

Also known as eyelid surgery, blepharoplasty aims to rejuvenate the appearance of the eyelids by removing excess skin, fat, and muscle. This procedure can help eliminate puffiness and drooping, giving the eyes a more youthful and refreshed look.

Blepharoplasty can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids. For the upper eyelids, the procedure can enhance the contour of the eye and remove any excess skin or fat that may cause drooping.

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty, on the other hand, targets under-eye bags and sagging skin.
