What is Oculoplastic Surgery?
Oculoplastics is a field of ophthalmology that focuses treatment of conditions that affect the eyelids, eye socket, tear drainage system and other structures around the eyes. Oculoplastic surgeons are board-certified ophthalmologists who have completed additional fellowship training in plastic surgery.
They are experts in treating many different conditions like drooping eyelids, blocked tear ducts, and eyelid cancers. However, they don’t only treat issues that affect the function of your eyes and eyelids.
Oculoplastic surgeons also offer cosmetic treatments for the eyelids and eyebrows. At Central Florida Eye Specialists, our oculoplastic surgeons always prioritize the health and proper function of the eyes.
Since they have a deep understanding of how important the eyelids are for good vision, our specialists work to enhance both the look and performance of the eyes and the area around them.

What Oculoplastic Procedures Are Available at Central Florida Eye Specialists?
At Central Florida Eye Specialists, our oculoplastic surgeons are dedicated to providing a wide variety of treatments and procedures to help improve the function and look of your eyes.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty, also known as eyelid surgery, is a procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper or lower eyelids. This procedure can help improve vision obscured by drooping eyelids and create a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
Our oculoplastic surgeons use advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results that enhance your eyes without compromising their function.
Request AppointmentUpper Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty focuses on removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids. This procedure can help correct drooping upper eyelids that may impair your vision or make you appear tired or older than you feel.
Our oculoplastic surgeons carefully remove the excess tissue and sculpt the remaining skin and muscle to create a more open, alert appearance while maintaining your natural eyelid contours.
Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty targets the excess skin, wrinkles, and puffiness beneath the eyes. This procedure can help alleviate the appearance of under-eye bags, dark circles, and fine lines, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed look.
At Central Florida Eye Specialists, we use techniques that redistribute or remove excess fat, tighten the lower eyelid skin, and smooth out wrinkles to achieve a natural-looking result that complements your facial features.
Ptosis
Ptosis is a condition that causes drooping upper eyelids due to laxity or looseness in the eyelid
muscle. This condition can affect your field of vision and cause a tired or aged appearance.
Our oculoplastic surgeons specialize in treating ptosis through surgical techniques that tighten or
reposition the eyelid muscles. This procedure can help restore proper eyelid function and improve
your field of vision while also giving your eyes a more alert and open look.
Brow Lift
A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, is a surgical procedure that raises the eyebrows to a more youthful position. This procedure can help correct the appearance of a heavy or sagging brow, which can make you look tired, angry, or older than you feel.
Our oculoplastic surgeons use minimally invasive techniques to reposition the brows, resulting in a more refreshed and approachable appearance.

Skin Cancer Removal/Mohs Reconstruction
Lesions, growths, and skin cancers around the eye are common, especially in sunny Florida. Our oculoplastic surgeons diagnose lesions based on their appearance and the patient's history of change and growth.
Treatment depends on the type of lesion and any noted changes. A changing lesion is more likely to be skin cancer and may require a biopsy or complete removal. Skin cancer removal typically involves simple excision or Mohs technique, performed by a skilled dermatologist.
After removal, our oculoplastic surgeons expertly reconstruct the affected area using techniques that prioritize both function and aesthetics, aiming to restore your eyelid's natural appearance while minimizing scarring.
Tear Duct Reconstruction
Blocked or damaged tear ducts can cause chronic tearing, leading to discomfort and irritation. Our
oculoplastic surgeons are skilled in performing tear duct reconstruction, a procedure that aims to
restore proper drainage of tears from the eye to the nose.
Correcting the tear duct's anatomy can alleviate symptoms and improve your eye comfort.
Ectropion
Ectropion is a condition where the lower eyelid turns outward, exposing the inner surface of the eyelid. This can cause irritation, dryness, and excessive tearing.
Our oculoplastic surgeons treat ectropion by tightening the eyelid and repositioning it to its normal position. This procedure helps protect the eye, alleviate discomfort, and restore a more natural appearance to the eyelid.
Request Appointment
Entropion
Entropion occurs when the eyelid turns inward, causing the eyelashes to rub against the eye's
surface. This can lead to irritation, discomfort, and potential damage to the cornea.
Our oculoplastic surgeons correct entropion by repositioning the eyelid and tightening the muscles
that support it. This treatment helps alleviate symptoms, protect the eye, and improve your overall
eye health and comfort.
