Oculoplastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Oculoplastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Oculoplastics is a specialized branch of ophthalmology focused on the medical and surgical treatment of eye-related abnormalities. These procedures address various conditions affecting the eyelids, tear ducts, and the structures surrounding the eyes, offering both functional and cosmetic solutions.
What Are Oculoplastic Procedures?
Oculoplastic procedures include both surgical and non-surgical treatments for the areas around the eyes, such as the eyelids, tear ducts, and orbits (eye sockets). These procedures can also extend to the cheeks, eyebrows, and forehead.
Also known as ophthalmic plastic surgery, these treatments may be performed for cosmetic enhancement or to address medical issues like eyelid cysts, tumors, thyroid eye disease, or orbital conditions.
Only a trained ophthalmologist should perform these delicate procedures. At Oculase, Dr. Hassan is a Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon specializing in both cosmetic and reconstructive eyelid surgery.
Which conditions can we treat?
We may perform oculoplastic procedures for various reasons, such as correcting eye bags, hooded eyelids, or addressing issues with the tear ducts.
At Nesc Aesthetics, we treat the following conditions:
- Ectropion: Outward sagging or turning of the eyelid
- Entropion: Inward turning of the eyelid
- Functional Essential Blepharospasm
- Ptosis: Drooping of the upper eyelid
- Thyroid Eye Disease
- Blocked Tear Ducts
- Facial Nerve Palsy
We also offer treatments to correct various vision issues under the expert care of Dr. Arooj.
- Wrinkles and fine lines, including crow’s feet and laugh lines
- Contour deficits and indented scars
- Dark circles under the eyes
- Facial hollowness
Ptosis Surgery
Ptosis is the drooping of the upper eyelid, which can obstruct vision and affect appearance. Ptosis surgery corrects this condition by tightening the muscles responsible for lifting the eyelid. The procedure not only improves vision but also enhances the overall appearance of the eyes, providing a more youthful and alert look.
Squint Surgery (Strabismus Surgery)
Squint surgery is performed to correct the misalignment of the eyes (strabismus), where one or both eyes do not point in the same direction. The surgery involves adjusting the muscles that control eye movement, helping to align the eyes and restore proper vision and coordination

Complex Oculoplastic Procedures
For patients requiring more intricate treatments, we offer complex oculoplastic surgeries that address severe or rare conditions involving the eyelids, tear ducts, and surrounding structures. These procedures can treat issues like eyelid deformities, trauma, tumors, and other advanced ocular conditions.
DCR (Dacryocystorhinostomy)
DCR is a surgical procedure used to treat blocked tear ducts. This procedure creates a new pathway for tears to drain into the nose, alleviating the problem of excessive tearing (epiphora) and preventing recurrent eye infections.
Jaw Winking Surgery
Jaw winking is a rare congenital condition where the upper eyelid moves in sync with the movement of the jaw, causing an involuntary twitch or movement. Jaw winking surgery corrects this condition by addressing the abnormal connection between the jaw and the eyelid muscles, improving both function and appearance.
These oculoplastic procedures are crucial for restoring both the functional and cosmetic aspects of the eyes and surrounding areas, offering patients improved vision and appearance while addressing medical issues effectively.
