We offer a comprehensive range of eyelid surgery and cosmetic treatments to address both medical and aesthetic concerns:
What is Oculoplastic Surgery?
Oculoplastic surgery is a specialized branch of ophthalmology focused on the eyelids, tear ducts, orbit (eye socket), and surrounding facial structures. Unlike general plastic surgery, oculoplastic procedures are performed by ophthalmologists with advanced training in both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the eye area.
Many eyelid conditions affect both function and appearance. For example, severely drooping upper eyelids can block your peripheral vision while also making you look tired or older than you feel. Our comprehensive approach addresses both aspects, ensuring optimal visual function and aesthetic results.
Oculoplastic surgery can help accomplish a range of goals, such as:

What to Expect During Your Eyelid Surgery and Cosmetic Service Experience at OVA
Consultation and Evaluation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history. We perform a thorough examination of your eyelids, eye position, tear production, and overall ocular health. This evaluation helps us determine the best treatment approach for your specific situation.
Customized Treatment Planning
Based on your evaluation, we develop a personalized treatment plan. This may involve surgical procedures, non-surgical treatments like BOTOX®, or a combination approach. We explain each option in detail, including what to expect during treatment, recovery time, and anticipated results.
Professional, Compassionate Care
Our team is committed to making your experience comfortable and stress-free. We answer all your questions, address your concerns, and provide clear instructions for preparation and aftercare. Most eyelid procedures are performed on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia and sedation, allowing you to return home the same day.
Recovery and Results
Recovery varies depending on the specific procedure, but typically involves minimal discomfort managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Swelling and bruising are normal and usually subside within 1-2 weeks. We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure optimal results.
