What Is Oculoplastic Surgery?
Oculoplastic surgery, also known as ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery, is a specialized field of medicine that combines ophthalmology (eye care) with plastic and reconstructive surgery techniques. An oculoplastic surgeon focuses on the structures surrounding the eyes, including the eyelids, tear ducts, eye socket (orbit), eyebrows, and upper face.
An oculoplastic surgeon is first trained as an ophthalmologist and then completes additional fellowship training in plastic and reconstructive procedures involving the delicate tissues around the eyes. This specialized expertise allows Dr. Lisa Bunin to address both functional and cosmetic concerns while protecting the health and vision of the eyes.
