What Is Oculoplastic Surgery?

Oculoplastic surgery refers to surgery around your eye and facial area. Some common oculoplastic surgeries include:

Blepharoplasty
Ptosis Repair
Entropion or Ectropion Repair
Botox
Orbital Tumors

Oculoplastic surgery deals with a wide range of conditions that can affect the structure around your eyes, including your eyelids, eye sockets, and tear drainage systems.

Exploring Common Oculoplastic Surgeries

At Central Texas Eye Center, we provide comprehensive consultation services for a variety of common oculoplastic surgeries. Our goal is to ensure our patients are informed and prepared for surgical procedures.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Blepharoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that repairs droopy eyelids and can involve the removal of excess skin, muscle, and fat. Due to how thin the skin is, your eyelid can be the first facial area to display signs of aging.

Eyelids that are sagging or drooping can also be dangerous and reduce peripheral vision. Blepharoplasty may be a good option for you if:

You have baggy or droopy upper eyelids
You are struggling with excess skin on the lower eyelids
Excess skin interferes with your peripheral vision

Book your consultation today to see if blepharoplasty is right for you.

Ptosis Repair

Ptosis is the drooping of your upper eyelid over your eye and is usually caused by the aging process. Ptosis can also develop following eye surgery or injury. When the eyelid droops too much, it can cover your pupil and impair your vision.

Ptosis may signify a more serious issue, and it’s recommended that you contact our team to book a comprehensive eye exam to determine what treatment is best for you.

Entropion or Ectropion Repair

Entropion and ectropion are conditions that usually target your lower eyelid.

Entropion is when your eyelid turns in and causes your eyelashes to rub against your cornea.
Ectropion is when your eyelid turns out and droops away from your eye.

Both of these conditions can cause irritation and discomfort while altering your appearance. Both conditions may require surgery to adjust to avoid potential vision loss.

BOTOX®

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a procedure to smooth and reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles.

BOTOX® is used to smooth frown and worry lines through an injection under the skin in areas surrounding the eyes, forehead, and mouth. BOTOX® is made from purified protein and temporarily prevents a muscle from moving to prevent wrinkle lines.

BOTOX® injections can also be used to treat conditions such as:

Lazy eye
Chronic migraines
Hyperhidrosis
Eye twitching

Orbital Tumors

Orbital tumors are abnormal tissue growths in structures surrounding your eyes and can occur in both adults and children.

Patients may experience pain, double vision, and decreased vision when dealing with an orbital tumor. Orbital tumors are most often diagnosed and differentiated with imaging tests such as CT Scans and MRIs.

To help diagnose and manage orbital tumors, book a consultation with our team at Central Texas Eye Center today.
