What is Oculoplasty?
Oculoplasty (also called Oculoplastic Surgery) is a specialised branch of eye care that focuses on treating problems related to the eyelids, tear ducts, eye socket, and surrounding facial structures. These conditions may affect comfort, appearance, and vision. Oculoplasty helps restore normal function, appearance, and confidence.
Treatment may include medications, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery depending on the condition. Oculoplastic surgery is typically quick, safe, and often done as an outpatient procedure. Advanced techniques ensure natural-looking results, faster recovery, and improved vision and comfort.
Drooping or sagging eyelids affecting vision
Excessive tearing or constant watery eyes
Frequent eye infections or irritation
Eyelids turning inward (entropion) or outward (ectropion)
A visible lump or swelling on or around the eyelid
Difficulty closing the eyes completely
Facial asymmetry due to injury, nerve weakness, or aging
Cosmetic concerns such as under-eye bags or hollow eyelids
Ptosis Droopy eyelid affecting vision and appearance.
Entropion Eyelid turns inward causing irritation and redness.
Ectropion Eyelid turns outward causing watering and discomfort.
Blocked Tear Duct Excess tearing due to poor tear drainage.
Eyelid Tumors or Lumps Benign or cancerous growths requiring removal.
Thyroid Eye Disease Bulging eyes, irritation, or eyelid retraction.
Orbital Trauma Injury to bones around the eye needing repair.
Facial Nerve Palsy Weak eyelid muscles affecting blinking and closure.
Cosmetic Eyelid Changes Age-related sagging, wrinkles, or fat deposits.
Age-Related Structural Changes With age, the eyelid muscles and tissues weaken, leading to droopy eyelids (ptosis), excess skin or fat, eyelid malpositions (entropion or ectropion), and narrowing of tear ducts. These changes may affect appearance, comfort, and even block vision.
Injury, Trauma, or Surgical After-Effects Accidents, falls, sports injuries, or previous surgeries can damage the eyelids, orbital bones, and tear drainage pathways, causing fractures, scarring, blocked tear ducts, or deformities that often require reconstructive oculoplastic care.
Medical Conditions, Tumors, and Infections Chronic inflammation, autoimmune disease, thyroid eye disease, or benign/malignant tumors involving the eyelids, orbit, or lacrimal system can lead to swelling, eye bulging, infections, tearing issues, or noticeable growths that need medical or surgical management.
Congenital or Cosmetic Concerns Some individuals are born with abnormal eyelids, tear duct defects, or eyelid positioning issues, while others seek blepharoplasty, Botox, or fillers to correct sagging, asymmetry, or signs of aging—combining both functional and aesthetic goals.

Clear Answers for Better Vision
What is Oculoplasty?
Oculoplasty, or ophthalmic plastic surgery, is a specialized branch of ophthalmology that focuses on the structures surrounding the eye. This includes the eyelids, the tear drainage system (lacrimal system), and the eye socket (orbit). It combines the precision of eye surgery with the aesthetics of plastic surgery.
What are the common conditions treated in Oculoplasty?
Our specialists at ASG Eye Hospital treat a wide range of conditions, including:
Ptosis: Drooping of the upper eyelids.
Entropion/Ectropion: Inward or outward turning of the eyelids.
Dacryocystitis: Blockage or infection of the tear ducts causing watery eyes.
Blepharospasm: Involuntary tight closure of the eyelids.
Orbit Tumors: Abnormal growths in the eye socket.
Eye Injuries: Fractures or soft tissue trauma around the eye.
What is Ptosis surgery, and when is it needed?
Ptosis surgery is performed to lift drooping eyelids that may be obstructing your vision or affecting your appearance. If the eyelid droops enough to cover the pupil, it can cause “hooding” of vision. At ASG, we perform advanced levator resection or sling surgeries to restore a natural eyelid position.
Why do my eyes water constantly?
Constant watering (Epiphora) is often caused by a blocked tear duct. If the “drainage pipe” of the eye is clogged, tears overflow onto the cheeks. We perform a procedure called DCR (Dacryocystorhinostomy) to create a new channel for tears to drain into the nose, permanently solving the watering issue.
Can Oculoplasty improve my facial appearance?
Yes. We offer several aesthetic procedures, such as Blepharoplasty (removal of excess fat or skin from the eyelids) and Botox injections for wrinkles or spasms. These procedures are performed by eye surgeons who have a deep understanding of the delicate anatomy around the eyes.
What are "Socket" surgeries?
If an eye is lost due to severe injury or disease, our oculoplasty surgeons perform socket reconstruction. We use high-quality integrated implants and custom-made Prosthetic Eyes (artificial eyes) that look and move very similarly to a natural eye.
Are these procedures painful?
Most oculoplastic procedures are performed under local anesthesia with sedation, meaning you will be awake but relaxed and feel no pain. For complex orbital surgeries or pediatric cases, general anesthesia is used to ensure complete comfort.
How long is the recovery period after eyelid surgery?
Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising for 1 to 2 weeks. You can usually return to light work within a few days. We provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure the scars are minimal and fade quickly.
Will there be visible scars after the surgery?
Our surgeons are trained to hide incisions within the natural folds of the eyelids or inside the eyelid itself (transconjunctival approach). This ensures that once healed, the surgical marks are virtually invisible.
Why should I choose an Oculoplastic surgeon over a general plastic surgeon?
An Oculoplastic surgeon is first an ophthalmologist. This means they are experts in the health of the eye itself. When performing plastic surgery around the eye, their primary goal is to protect your vision and the surface of the eye, which a general plastic surgeon may not be as specialized in.
