What is oculoplastics?
Oculoplastic surgery or oculoplastics generally covers a variety of surgical procedures and treatments for correction of eyelid abnormalities, tear duct problems, and orbital diseases. So, this surgery addresses the deformities of the structure around the eyes and does not address eyeballs. Cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the eye fall into this category as well.
Oculoplastic surgery is performed on people of all ages for a variety of reasons. Some types of oculoplastic surgeries are medically necessary. For instance, certain eyelid issues affect a person’s appearance as well as his or her eye vision and health.
Eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty (removing droopy skin around eyes), tear duct surgery, orbital surgery, entropion, and ectropion repair, pediatric oculoplastic surgery, eyebrow and forehead lift, facelift and implants are some of the main types of oculoplastics.
Oculoplastic surgery can restore the fresh-looking eyes you once had.
TYPES OF OCULOPLASTIC TREATMENTS
Depending on the issue and whether the treatment is for cosmetic or medical purposes, there are two approaches for oculoplastics:
- Non-surgical treatments:
They include laser skin treatments, chemical peel techniques, home skin care regimens, and facial filler injections with the intention of reducing facial wrinkles.
- Surgical treatments:
They consist of a wide range of procedures, including eyelid surgery for removing excess skin, muscle or fat, eyelid reconstruction for eliminating eyelid tumors, eyebrow and forehead lifting, facial rejuvenation, and implants.
It also involves commonly performed oculoplastic treatments which correct eyelids that fold inward or outward and procedures that correct drooping of the upper or lower eyelid. In addition, oculoplastic surgery includes procedures addressing tear ducts which restores the flow of tears, also, orbital surgery for managing eye disorders and traumas.
How is oculoplastic surgery done in Iran?
Most oculoplastic surgeries can be performed under local anesthesia and some with intravenous sedation. Depending on the type of surgery, an oculoplastic surgeon starts with making one or some small incisions in different areas of either face, eyebrow or skull.
For instance, eyelids surgery is done through lines of eyelids. Tear duct surgery is done through the nose or in the corner of the eye.
In the next step, the surgeon may separate the skin from the underlying tissue to remove the excess fat, skin or muscle. In case of tear duct surgery, a small opening is created from the blocked tear nasal duct, directly into the nose.
For eyebrow and forehead lifting, the incisions are made in the scalp to remove the excess fat. For facial lift, the incision is made around the ear for accessing the muscle, then the skin is lifted and the underlying muscle and connective tissue are repositioned and tightened.
The situation is more complicated for orbital surgery. Occasionally, large incisions are needed and may result in visible scars. Engaged or damaged tissues are removed as necessary or repaired carefully while eye function and vision are preserved.
After the positioning and alignment were done in all sorts of oculoplastics, if needed, the sutures or metal clips are placed.

- Relaxation and enough rest for the first few days after the surgery,
- Applying cold compresses on the eyelids when advised by the surgeon,
- Minimal activity to help with the healing and minimizing the swelling, bruising, discomfort, and post-operative complications, and
