As a central part of the face, the area around your eyes play an important role in your attractiveness and how others perceive you. Dr. Deepak Ramesh, your oculoplastic surgeon in New Jersey, provides many types of oculoplastic surgeries that help to correct certain types of medical conditions or cosmetic issues.
Here are a few of the most commonly performed types of oculoplastic surgery:
Orbital decompression is a type of surgery for the treatment of thyroid eye disease, medically known as Graves’s orbitopathy, and bulging eyes, medically known as proptosis. Dr. Ramesh performs this type of surgery with an innovative trans-eyelid technique that results in no scars.
Dr. Ramesh shifts the eyeball back within its socket using a technique that minimizes the chances of the patient developing double vision or other complications linked to conventional surgeries. A patient may choose to complement the results of orbital decompression with other procedures, like eyelid lifts or facial fat injections.
Medically known as blepharoplasty, cosmetic eyelid surgery helps address the shape and tone of the eyelids, which tend to sag due to the aging process. This can lead to a tired and haggard appearance that can leave the patient looking older than their actual age.
The results of cosmetic orbital surgery in New Jersey can help you appear more youthful and refreshed. Dr. Ramesh, performs this procedure by removing excess skin and fat, as well as sagging muscles, from the eyelids. The procedure is also very helpful in removing obstructions to the visual field caused by loose and sagging skin.
You may choose to have eyelid surgery performed on your upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both of them simultaneously. The skin found around the eyes is delicate and somewhat thinner than that found on the rest of the face. As a result, this area is often the first place where you will notice facial aging. This is normally seen as skin that loses elasticity and develops noticeable wrinkles.
Upper eyelid surgery and lower eyelid surgery are helpful in correcting drooping eyelid skin that can make you appear older or even have a negative effect on your vision. Some patients even find that their insurance plans cover orbital surgery in New Jersey such as, upper eyelid procedures that are considered to be functional and performed to improve one’s vision.
The face and neck are the most identifiable parts of a person. And unfortunately, they’re also the most susceptible to the aging process. As you grow older, your skin tissues droop downwards and excess fat cells accumulate in different parts of your face and neck, leading to jowls, nasolabial folds, neck banding, and deep creases. The onset of facial wrinkles and creases can make you look tired, exhausted, and sad, even when you feel radiant and joyful within.
Face and neck lifts are highly personalized procedures that reverse the signs of aging on your face and neck. Everyone is unique, and so every facelift and neck lift procedure must be personalized according to your unique needs. If you have extremely mild signs of aging, we may recommend a non-surgical facelift with fillers and botulinum toxin injections. And if you have moderate to severe signs of aging, we may recommend a mini facelift or full facelift, with or without a neck lift.
A traditional facelift involves making small incisions around the ears and along the hairline to trim away excess skin tissues, remove excess fat tissues, and tighten the underlying SMAS layer. The incisions are carefully and delicately placed along the natural folds of the skin, so they won’t be extremely visible to a casual observer. A full facelift can roll back the clock by a decade or more — we will select the ideal technique for you.
Issues related to the eyes, such as eye socket fractures and eyelid tumors, can be corrected with eye reconstruction.
Skin cancer of the eyelids can develop due to a combination of UV sunlight exposure and genetics. After the removal of these cancers, eye reconstruction can help improve the look and functionality of the eyes.
Dr. Ramesh, your oculoplastic surgeon in New Jersey, performs eye socket reconstruction for the repair and treatment of tumors, infections, and trauma of the eye socket. The procedure can also be employed for supporting an ocular prosthesis.
Eye socket surgery can be used for the restoration of function, rehabilitating the bone and soft tissues found around the eye, including the socket and eyelids. This type of surgery is commonly performed following some form of trauma or injury, scarring, or defects in the area of the eyes caused by an accident or disease.
Dr. Ramesh may use a variety of techniques to restore proper function to remaining eye structures so that a prosthetic eye can be placed. Some possible techniques that can be employed include fat grafts or implants, upper eyelid ptosis surgery and eyelid tightening.
The goal of reconstructive eye surgery is to restore normal eye function, preserve vision, and correct any problems with the eyelids.
Orbital surgery in New Jersey can treat various eye-related issues, including drooping eyelids (ptosis), eyelid malpositions (entropion, ectropion), tear duct disorders, orbital tumors, and cosmetic concerns like under-eye bags and wrinkles. It combines both functional and aesthetic improvements for the delicate eye area.
No, oculoplastic surgery is not solely for cosmetic purposes. While it can improve the appearance of the eyes, it also plays a role in addressing functional concerns such as vision obstruction due to eyelid abnormalities or correcting tear duct issues.
Oculoplastic surgery focuses exclusively on the structures around the eyes, and it must be performed by skilled oculoplastic surgeons with specialized training in ophthalmology and plastic surgery. Traditional plastic surgery encompasses a broader range of procedures for the entire body, making oculoplastic surgery uniquely tailored to address eye-related functional and cosmetic issues with precision.
