About Oculoplasty Surgery

Oculoplasty surgery treats problems around the eyes, eyelids, tear ducts, and eye socket. People with droopy eyelids, eye injuries, blocked tear ducts, or eye tumours often need this surgery. An eye specialist called an oculoplastic surgeon performs the procedure. The oculoplastic surgery procedure helps improve both function and appearance. It also supports vision in many cases. Some patients may need eyelid reconstruction surgery after trauma or tumour removal. Many people choose it for its medical and cosmetic benefits.

Advanced Oculoplasty Surgery Options

Pristyn Care in Delhi provides advanced oculoplasty surgery options for those seeking medical and cosmetic improvements around the eyes.

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR)

Dacryocystorhinostomy, commonly referred to as DCR, is a surgical procedure aimed at treating blocked tear ducts. This condition can cause excessive tearing or frequent eye infections. 

During the procedure, the surgeon creates a new channel between your tear sac and the inside of your nose. This helps tears drain properly, bypassing the blockage. Typically performed under local or general anaesthesia, DCR is often recommended when other treatments fail to alleviate symptoms. 

Most individuals find relief from tearing after the surgery, experiencing improved comfort and reduced risk of infections.

Ptosis

Ptosis surgery is designed to correct drooping eyelids, a condition which can affect vision and appearance. This procedure involves tightening the muscles that lift the eyelids or reattaching them if they have become stretched or detached. 

People of all ages can undergo ptosis surgery, depending on the severity of their condition. Typically performed under local anaesthesia, this surgery helps restore a natural eyelid position, significantly enhancing both the functionality and aesthetics of the eyes. 

Recovery usually involves mild swelling and bruising, with most individuals resuming normal activities within a couple of weeks.

Blepharoplasty

Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, is a popular procedure focusing on removing excess skin, fat, or muscle from either the upper or lower eyelids. It’s often sought for aesthetic reasons but can also be necessary when droopy eyelids obstruct vision. 

The surgery involves making precise incisions along the natural creases of your eyelids to ensure minimal visible scarring. After removing or repositioning tissues, the incisions are closed carefully. 

Most patients notice immediate improvement in their appearance and experience long-term benefits in terms of clearer vision and a refreshed look. Recovery involves some bruising and swelling which typically subsides within a few weeks.

Eyelid Repair / Reconstruction Punctoplasty

Eyelid reconstruction surgery is essential for correcting malpositions like entropion (inward-turning eyelids) or ectropion (outward-turning eyelids). These conditions can cause irritation and damage to the eyes if left untreated. 

Eyelid repair typically involves repositioning or reconstructing the affected eyelid for proper alignment and functionality. Punctoplasty may be performed if tear duct openings need adjustment. 

Surgery is usually quick, with most patients experiencing significant relief from symptoms once healed. Post-operative care is crucial, with follow-up visits for optimal recovery.

Orbitotomy

Orbitotomy refers to surgical procedures involving the orbit—the bony cavity surrounding your eye. It may be necessary to address conditions like tumours, cysts, or injuries within this area. 

During an orbitotomy, surgeons access the orbit to remove lesions or repair damage while taking care to protect surrounding structures like nerves and muscles. Depending on its complexity, the procedure can be done under either local or general anaesthesia. 

Recovery times vary based on the specific treatment but generally involve a period of swelling and discomfort before full recovery and return to everyday activities.

How is Oculoplasty Surgery Performed?

Oculoplasty surgery includes different treatments for eye-related conditions. Eye surgeons in Delhi follow clear and safe steps for each type of surgery. They use modern tools and advanced techniques.

Here’s how doctors perform each oculoplastic surgery procedure:

  1. Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR)
    Doctors treat blocked tear ducts with this surgery. They make a small cut near the nose. Then, they create a new path for tears to drain. The patient gets local or general anaesthesia.
  2. Ptosis Surgery
    This corrects drooping eyelids. The surgeon shortens or tightens the eyelid muscles. This helps lift the eyelid. It improves vision and appearance. The surgery is safe and quick.

Eligibility For Oculoplasty Surgery

Oculoplasty is a specialised procedure to improve the appearance and function of the eyes. To be eligible for this advanced oculoplasty treatment, several factors are considered:

  • Good Overall Health: Candidates should be in good health, free from serious medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or high blood pressure that could complicate surgery.
  • No Severe Eye Conditions: Those with significant eye issues such as glaucoma or retinal detachment might not qualify for the surgery.
  • Non-Smoker Status: Smoking affects healing. Non-smokers are generally better candidates as they heal more efficiently post-surgery.
  • Cosmetic or Medical Need: The procedure can address both cosmetic and medical issues, such as droopy eyelids (ptosis) or excess skin.

How To Prepare For Oculoplasty Surgery?

Proper preparation can help with a smooth surgery and recovery. Here are some steps to take before your procedure:

  • Stopping Smoking: It’s advisable to quit smoking a few weeks before surgery as it improves healing significantly.
  • Avoid Certain Medications: Medications like aspirin should be avoided as they increase bleeding risk during surgery.
  • Discuss Medical History: Inform your surgeon about any allergies or past surgeries to avoid complications.
  • Follow Dietary Advice: Light meals are recommended before surgery; avoid heavy eating close to the procedure time.

Post-Procedure Care After Oculoplasty Surgery

After undergoing an oculoplastic procedure, knowing what to expect can ease your recovery process. Here’s how you can care for yourself post-surgery:

  • Rest and Hydration: Adequate rest and keeping yourself hydrated help speed up recovery.
  • Cold Compresses: Applying cold compresses reduces swelling and bruising around operated areas.
  • Avoid Strenuous Activities: Refrain from heavy exercise or bending for a few weeks post-surgery.
  • Follow-Up Appointments: Attending follow-up visits with your surgeon ensures proper healing progress.
  • Medication as Prescribed: Take all prescribed pain relief and antibiotics as directed by your doctor.
