Oculoplasty Treatment
Occular plastic surgery is mainly concerned with the management of eyelid
deformities and abnormalities like lacrimal (tear) systems, orbit (bony socket) and
surrounding areas to retain, restore or enhance functions and appearance. The
operation is also called ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive eye or oculofacial
surgery. At KABERA, the Oculoplasty specialist deals with different eye-lid and
lacrimal system and are highly trained in the field.

1. Eyelid Surgery
In case of blepharoplasty, incisions are made following the natural lines of the
eyelids. After making the incision, the surgeon removes the excess fat, skin, and
muscle by removing the skin and underlying tissue from the body. Finally, stitches
are used to close the incisions on the eyelids. Depending on the technique used, the
lower eyelids might not require stitches. In the majority of cases, the procedure
takes approximately two hours if both upper and lower eyelids are done
simultaneously.
2. Tear Duct Surgery
When your surgeon makes an incision to perform a dacryocystorhinostomy, he or
she will make an incision in your nose or inside corner of your eye. The blocked sac in
the nose is opened, directly into the tear drain. While the new tear duct remains
open, a stent may be left in the drain to keep it open. A removable medical drain is
sometimes implanted under the corner of the eyelids, keeping the obstruction from
occurring.
3. Orbital Surgery
Radiographic testing, such as a CT scan, will be required before your orbital surgery,
and your surgeon will perform fine-needle aspiration. The findings will provide
important information about which surgical technique will be employed. Orbital
surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures, and the method used in your case
depends on the location, size, and severity of the disease. No incision is required in
some cases, although additional methods, such as sutures, are sometimes required.
For others, larger incisions are needed, and people who have these surgeries may be
left with noticeable scars. Even while carefully preserving eye function and vision,
your surgeon will remove or repair damaged tissues as necessary.
4. Eyebrow And Forehead Lift
Through on longer incision concealed in the hair of the scalp, the procedure can be
performed in several smaller incisions in the scalp. To raise the forehead and
eyebrows, excess skin is removed. Upper eyelid blepharoplasty may be performed at
the same time as eyebrow and forehead enhancement surgery.
