What does this service offer?
Ophthalmology Service
Eye plastic surgery, known as oculoplasty, is the specialized field that combines ophthalmology with plastic and reconstructive surgery. The eyelids and surrounding areas are extremely delicate and complex structures, vital for protecting the eye and very important for the normal appearance of the face. Oculoplasty treats deformities and disorders of the eyelids, the lacrimal (tear) system, the orbit (the bony cavity around the eye) and the surrounding facial structures. It may be performed for medical reasons, as a consequence of diseases or trauma, but also for aesthetic reasons, for patients who wish to remove excess wrinkles and bags that give the eyes a tired appearance, aging the features of the face and sometimes also affecting vision.
Why Choose This Service?
Oculoplasty offers personalized solutions for both functional and aesthetic problems.
Functional procedures restore the normal position of the eyelids and tear ducts, eliminating obstructions to vision and chronic discomfort.
Aesthetic procedures, such as blepharoplasty, remove excess skin and fat, refreshing the appearance of the face with natural results.
Modern techniques allow minimal incisions, discreet scarring and fast recovery, with individual planning for each patient.
