Frequently asked questions about oculoplastic surgery
What is oculoplastic surgery?
Oculoplastic surgery refers to any surgical procedure performed within oculoplastics, a subspecialty of ophthalmology dedicated to the treatment of aesthetic and functional conditions of the periocular area. These procedures are carried out by ophthalmologists specialized in oculoplastics, ensuring a precise and safe approach to the structures that surround and protect the eye, which can directly affect vision.
What is the difference between an oculoplastic surgeon and a plastic surgeon?
An oculoplastic surgeon is an ophthalmologist with specific training to operate on the eyelids, orbit, and lacrimal system, combining both functional and aesthetic approaches to the eye area. A plastic surgeon, on the other hand, focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive surgery of different areas of the body, including the face, but does not always have specialized training in the structures surrounding the eye.
Who is oculoplastic surgery recommended for?
It is recommended in cases such as drooping eyelids that interfere with vision, excess skin or bags that create a tired appearance, lacrimal obstruction with constant tearing, or eyelid malpositions that irritate the eye. It is also useful after trauma or tumors in the periocular area. Additionally, it may be an option for those seeking to rejuvenate their appearance in a safe and specialized way.
What is the recovery time after oculoplastic surgery?
Recovery depends on the type of oculoplastic procedure, but patients can generally resume light daily activities within a few days. Sutures are usually removed between days 7 and 10, and it is advisable to avoid intense exercise and sun exposure during the first two weeks. Swelling and bruising improve significantly during the first weeks, and final results are usually visible after three months. Scars continue to improve for up to one year after surgery.
Can several oculoplastic treatments be combined in the same procedure?
Yes, in many cases several oculoplastic treatments can be combined in a single procedure. It is common, for example, to operate on the upper and lower eyelids at the same time or to associate other periocular procedures, as this helps optimize results and reduce overall recovery time. However, the decision will always depend on the specialist ophthalmologist’s evaluation and each patient’s individual needs.
What is the price of oculoplastic surgery in Valencia?
The price of oculoplastic surgery in Valencia may vary depending on the type of procedure and each patient’s specific needs. For this reason, in my practice I always carry out a personalized prior assessment, carefully analyzing each case and then providing a tailored quotation based on the characteristics and goals of each individual.
