FAQs
Oculoplasty surgery or treatment may be necessary for individuals experiencing any of the conditions mentioned above. Individuals with eyelid skin cancers and eyebrow issues may also require treatment.
An Oculoplastic surgeon is an ophthalmologist specializing in procedures like plastic and reconstructive surgeries on periorbital and facial tissues, including eyelids, eyebrows, orbits, lacrimal (tear) systems, and more.
Preventing eyelid surgery is always superior to treating it later. Drinking plenty of water, eating a well-balanced diet rich in fiber and minerals, sleeping in a consistent and regular pattern, wearing high-quality sunglasses, keeping your eyes clean, and caring for your environment are all strategies to avoid eye surgery.
This procedure corrects drooping eyelids. We have seen people with their upper eyelids slide down, and this procedure can be performed on one or both eyes. This is a natural anomaly in certain people and may develop as they age. Droopy eyelids can potentially cause serious visual problems or eyelid swelling, as well as appear cosmetically unpleasant, making you feel less confident walking in public.
Probing yields the best results when performed around one year of age, with nine out of ten babies experiencing corrected issues. Success rates decrease as the child ages, with approximately 7 or 8 out of 10 achieving successful outcomes.
Major surgery around the eyes can lead to various adverse effects, including excessive bleeding, scarring, eyelid deformity, brief vision loss, blood clots, injury to eye tissue, and infection.
Less-invasive oculoplastic procedures typically have a maximum recovery period of 14 days for most patients, allowing them to return to work thereafter. However, if complications arise post-surgery, recovery may take longer until the underlying issue is managed by your doctor.
The cost of the procedure varies depending on the state and the specific condition(s) requiring treatment. For detailed information about the cost, please consult our experts.
For information on the causes and other details regarding eyelid bags or droopy eyelids in individuals of any age, refer to our blogs on Blepharochalasis and Dermatochalasis.
The most common outcome of orbital and ocular trauma is bruising (black eye). It can also cause fractures of the orbital bone, most notably the orbital floor (known as an orbital blowout fracture) and/or the orbital medial wall. The orbital bones "blow out" into the surrounding sinuses.
The initial surgical step is probing, a safe procedure that can be performed on a day-care basis without the need for overnight hospital stays. There are no external wounds or stitches, no bandages required, and normal activities can be resumed the next day.
These procedures are usually quite safe. Drishti Eye Hospital provides experienced and highly competent medical experts, cutting-edge technology, and outstanding infrastructure to ensure the safety of your procedures. We also take great care to guarantee that the procedures are safe for you.
While the length of stay varies each procedure, the majority of them do not require an overnight stay. Several therapies can be administered on the day of the consultation. Some outpatient procedures may require more than one session.
This varies widely depending on specific individuals, operations, and procedures.
During your pre-operative visit, you will be given pre-and post-operative instructions to ensure that you have all of the necessary information, medication, and assistance to make your recovery as comfortable as possible.
