Common Oculoplasty Procedures

1. Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty, Ptosis Repair)

   • Corrects droopy eyelids, removes excess skin or fat

   • Improves vision and aesthetics

2. Tear Duct Surgery (Dacryocystorhinostomy – DCR)

   • Creates a new drainage pathway for blocked tear ducts

   • Relieves chronic tearing and infections

3. Orbital Surgery

   • Treats orbital fractures, tumors, or deformities

   • Post-trauma or post-tumor repair of eyelids and surrounding tissues

5. Cosmetic Oculoplasty

   • Eyelid lift, eyebrow lift, and correction of under-eye bags

Procedure Overview

1. Pre-operative Assessment

   • Eye examination and imaging (CT, MRI, or ultrasound for orbital cases)

   • Assessment of tear function and eyelid anatomy

   • Review of medical history and anesthesia suitability

2. Surgical Procedure

   • Performed under local or general anesthesia depending on procedure

   • Minimally invasive techniques preferred for faster recovery

   • Surgery duration: 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on complexity

3. Post-operative Care

   • Short hospital stay or outpatient procedure

   • Pain management, cold compresses, and eye drops

   • Avoid strenuous activity and follow wound care instructions

   • Follow-up for suture removal, healing, and functional outcome
