What my patients say after their oculoplastic surgery in Valencia
Frequently asked questions about oculoplastic surgery
What is oculoplastic surgery?
Oculoplastic surgery refers to any surgical procedure within the subspecialty of ophthalmology that treats both functional and aesthetic conditions affecting the area around the eyes. These procedures are performed by ophthalmologists specialising in oculoplastic surgery, ensuring a precise and safe approach to the delicate structures that surround and protect the eye and may directly affect vision.
What is the difference between an oculoplastic surgeon and a plastic surgeon?
An oculoplastic surgeon is an ophthalmologist with specialised training in surgery of the eyelids, orbit, and tear drainage system, combining both functional and aesthetic expertise in the eye area. A plastic surgeon, on the other hand, specialises in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures across different parts of the body, including the face, but does not necessarily have specialist training in the delicate structures surrounding the eyes.
Who is oculoplastic surgery suitable for?
Oculoplastic surgery may be recommended for conditions such as drooping eyelids that affect vision, excess skin or under-eye bags that create a tired appearance, blocked tear ducts causing excessive tearing, or eyelid malpositions that irritate the eye. It is also used to treat injuries or tumors affecting the periocular area. In addition, it is an excellent option for those looking to achieve a safer, more natural-looking rejuvenation of the eyes.
How long is the recovery after oculoplastic surgery?
Recovery time depends on the type of oculoplastic procedure performed. In most cases, patients can resume light daily activities within a few days. Stitches are usually removed between 7 and 10 days after surgery, although strenuous exercise and sun exposure should be avoided for the first two weeks. Swelling and bruising improve significantly during the first few weeks, while the final results are typically visible after around three months. Scars continue to mature and improve for up to a year after surgery.
Can multiple oculoplastic procedures be combined in a single operation?
Yes, in many cases several oculoplastic procedures can be performed during the same operation. For example, it is common to treat both the upper and lower eyelids at the same time or combine additional procedures involving the periocular area. This can help optimise results while reducing the overall recovery time. However, the decision is always based on the specialist’s assessment and each patient’s individual needs.
How much does oculoplastic surgery cost in Valencia?
The cost of oculoplastic surgery in Valencia varies depending on the type of procedure and each patient’s individual needs. During your initial consultation, I carry out a comprehensive assessment of your case and provide a personalised treatment plan along with a quotation tailored to your specific goals and requirements.
