| Special skills for special areas |
|
| Oculoplastic surgery is specialized plastic and
reconstructive surgery, dealing with the eyelids, the tear (lacrimal)
system and orbital regions of the face. An oculoplastic surgeon is an
ophthalmologist (medical doctor and eye surgeon) with additional
in-depth training and knowledge of the eyelid area. |
|
| In recent years, many more people have become aware of
the need for cosmetic eyelid surgery, or 'Blepharoplasty'. This popular
and relatively simple procedure recontours the upper face by removing obvious
signs of sagging and ageing. An increasing number of patients consider
Blepharoplasty before undertaking a full face-lift. Blepharoplasty is a
less invasive procedure and has many positive and long-lasting results. |
|
| The need for a specialist |
| The eyelid and other areas around the eye are delicate
structures that need special understanding and care. Very often the
problem at issue is not just cosmetic but interferes with visual function,
comfort and well-being. It therefore
makes sense to entrust such work to a specialist who has completed
years of additional training in plastic surgery as it relates to the
eyes and their surrounding facial structures. |
|
| For you this will be a one-time operation. But for
your medical practitioner it should be a very familiar routine that
has been perfected over time. |
|
| A sense of aesthetics |
Every plastic surgeon has to be part doctor and part
artist. Having a well-developed aesthetic sense and finely-honed surgical
skills are critical requirements in achieving a successful result.
