Surgery Questions
-
What is oculoplastic surgery?
Oculoplastic surgery is a specialized field of medicine focused on the treatment of the eyelids, tear ducts, eye socket (orbit), and surrounding facial structures. It includes both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures to enhance function, appearance, and comfort.
-
What conditions do oculoplastic surgeons treat?
Oculoplastic surgeons treat a variety of conditions, including:
- Drooping eyelids (ptosis)
- Excess skin on the eyelids (dermatochalasis)
- Blocked tear ducts
- Eyelid malpositions (entropion or ectropion)
- Orbital fractures or tumors
- Thyroid eye disease
- Eyelid cancers and reconstruction after removal
-
Am I a candidate for eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)?
You may be a candidate if you have:
- Excess skin or puffiness around the eyes.
- Drooping upper eyelids affecting your vision.
- Desire for a more youthful appearance.
A consultation with Dr. Selena Fu will help determine if this procedure is right for you.
-
How long is the recovery after oculoplastic surgery?
Recovery time varies depending on the procedure. Most patients can return to light activities within 5–7 days and experience full recovery within 2–4 weeks. Swelling and bruising are common initially but improve significantly during the first two week. We recommend surgery 3-6 months ahead of time if you are planning family photos or special events.
-
Will insurance cover my oculoplastic surgery?
Insurance may cover procedures deemed medically necessary, such as those to improve vision or treat conditions like a blocked tear duct or eyelid malposition. Cosmetic surgeries, like those performed for aesthetic purposes, are typically not covered.
-
Are there risks associated with oculoplastic surgery?
All surgeries carry some risks, but complications in oculoplastic procedures are rare. Potential risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, or asymmetry, etc. Your surgeon will discuss these risks and how they are minimized during your consultation.
-
How long do results from cosmetic procedures like blepharoplasty last?
Results from blepharoplasty are typically long-lasting. Upper eyelid surgery can last 10–15 years, while lower eyelid surgery results last longer. Aging and lifestyle factors may influence longevity.
-
Can I combine multiple procedures in one surgery?
Yes, many patients choose to combine procedures, such as upper and lower blepharoplasty with laser resurfacing and chemical peels, to achieve comprehensive results. Your surgeon will assess your goals and health to determine if combining procedures is appropriate.
