What is an Oculoplastic Surgeon?
An oculoplastic surgeon is a highly specialized physician trained to perform both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures around the eyes and face. Unlike general plastic surgeons, oculoplastic surgeons undergo extensive training in ophthalmology, followed by advanced fellowships in oculoplastic and orbital surgery. This unique combination of skills allows them to expertly address both the functional and aesthetic concerns of the delicate eye area. They possess an intricate understanding of the eye’s anatomy and are skilled in procedures ranging from eyelid surgery to the reconstruction of facial structures affected by trauma or disease. Choosing an oculoplastic surgeon ensures that you receive care from a specialist who can achieve superior aesthetic results while prioritizing the health and function of your eyes.Eye and Eyelid Rejuvenation
As the central feature of the face, the eyes play a crucial role in conveying emotions and expressions. However, the natural aging process can lead to changes around the eyes, resulting in a tired or weary appearance. Issues such as sagging upper eyelids, puffiness under the eyes, and drooping eyebrows can contribute to a look that doesn’t reflect how you feel inside. Our skilled oculoplastic surgeon at NY LASIK specializes in rejuvenating the eye area, offering both cosmetic and functional improvements. Through various procedures, we can:
- Enhance the youthful appearance of the eyes by making them look more open and alert
- Minimize the appearance of sagging skin between the eyebrow and eyelid
- Reduce the prominence of under-eye bags
- Remove excess skin and tighten the upper and lower eyelids
- Correct eyelid drooping (ptosis) to restore a more natural eye shape, potentially improving vision
- Perform xanthelasma removal
- Sculpt and lift the eyebrows for a revitalized expression
By addressing these concerns, our specialist can help restore a vibrant, refreshed look that better reflects your inner vitality while also addressing any functional issues that may affect your quality of life.
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid surgery, is a transformative procedure designed to address the effects of aging around the eyes. As skin loses its elasticity over time, the upper eyelids may droop, and the lower eyelids can develop puffiness, making the eyes appear tired and aged. Our skilled oculoplastic surgeon at NY LASIK performs both upper and lower blepharoplasty to rejuvenate the eye area.
Upper blepharoplasty focuses on lifting and tightening drooping eyelids, which can also help improve vision in cases where sagging skin obstructs the visual field. Lower blepharoplasty targets puffiness and under-eye bags, smoothing out wrinkles and providing a refreshed, youthful appearance. Whether performed individually or in combination, these procedures can enhance the natural beauty of the eyes, giving you a brighter, more alert look.
In addition to aesthetic benefits, eyelid surgery can also offer functional improvements, such as alleviating the discomfort caused by excess skin. Our dedicated surgeon will work closely with you to understand your goals and create a personalized treatment plan that enhances both the appearance and function of your eyes.

The combination of these technologies ensures a comprehensive approach to skin care, addressing multiple concerns with precision and care.
