Oculoplastic Surgery Sunshine Coast

Oculoplastic Surgery combines elements of both ophthalmology and plastic surgery, allowing for comprehensive care that addresses both aesthetic and functional concerns.

Oculoplastic surgery, also known as ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery, is a specialised field that focuses on the surgical and non-surgical treatment of conditions affecting the eyelids, tear ducts, and the surrounding facial structures.

Oculoplastic surgeons are trained to perform a variety of procedures aimed at correcting abnormalities, restoring normal function, and enhancing the appearance of the eyes and surrounding areas.

Oculoplastic Surgery Treatments

This surgical field treats a wide range of conditions, including eyelid malpositions such as ptosis (droopy eyelids) and ectropion (outward-turning eyelids), which can cause discomfort and impair vision. Oculoplastic surgery also addresses issues related to tear duct obstructions, which can lead to excessive tearing or chronic eye infections.

In addition, it encompasses cosmetic procedures like eyelid lifts (blepharoplasty) and brow lifts, aimed at rejuvenating the appearance of the eyes and upper face. By offering both reconstructive and aesthetic solutions, oculoplastic surgery plays a vital role in improving patients’ quality of life.

Patients seeking oculoplastic surgery often experience a combination of medical and cosmetic concerns. For instance, individuals with eyelid tumours or skin cancers may require reconstructive surgery to remove the affected tissue and restore normal eyelid function. Similarly, those with ageing-related changes, such as sagging skin or excess fat around the eyes, may pursue oculoplastic procedures to enhance their facial harmony.

With a focus on safety, precision, and individualised care, our oculoplastic surgeon Dr Sergio Sara strives to provide optimal outcomes, ensuring that both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the eyes and surrounding structures receive the highest level of attention.
