What is an oculoplastic surgeon? An
oculoplastic surgeon is an ophthalmologist who performs cosmetic
and reconstructive surgery on the eyelids, orbits and lacrimal system.
This field combines the precision and microsurgical techniques of
ophthalmology with the aesthetic and reconstructive concepts of
plastic surgery. An oculoplastic surgeon thinks like an ophthalmologist
and performs surgery like a plastic surgeon. This combination of
skills makes an oculoplastic surgeon a recognized expert in eyelid
and orbital surgery. .
