Oculoplastic surgery, also known as ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery, focuses on procedures involving the eyelids, tear ducts, orbit (eye socket), and surrounding facial structures. Here at Milan Eye Center, we offer a variety of surgical and non‑surgical options that can be considered medically necessary or strictly cosmetic. When our team of board‑certified oculofacial plastic surgeons sees you, they will determine if the procedure is deemed functional or not. If so, you may be able to submit it for insurance coverage.
An example of a cosmetic procedure would be lower eyelid surgery. Lower eyelid surgery can improve the appearance of under-eye bags and help create a smoother, more refreshed look. For others, surgery serves a different function to improve eye health. Some patients experience heavy or drooping eyelids (ptosis or dermatochalasis), which can make the eyes feel tired and may even interfere with vision. For some, this is an everyday occurrence, even with adequate sleep, but oculoplastics can help.
Having surgery is always a big decision. Along with research about the procedure, you also look at recovery times and physicians’ surgical experience. Some oculoplastic procedures may overlap with those offered at a plastic surgeon’s office.
Oculoplastic and plastic surgeons perform reconstructive surgeries and cosmetic procedures on the face. However, there are notable differences you should take under consideration when choosing the physician and surgery. The oculoplastic surgeons at Milan Eye Center undergo a significant amount of training in eye surgery and the surrounding eyelids and face. Since we have multiple locations across Atlanta, you’re never too far from an experienced doctor who can answer your questions, put you at ease, and provide you with the best eye‑care possible.
Our Oculoplastic specialists provide advanced surgical and non-surgical treatments to improve eyelid function, facial balance, and eye health.
Everyone’s skin loses elasticity and can become less firm and supple as we age. The constant pull of gravity can cause eyelids to droop and show signs of wrinkles and fine lines – but, oculoplastics can help us feel and look younger and more vibrant. Our ophthalmic plastic surgeons offer many surgical (i.e., brow lifts and eyelid surgeries) and non-surgical treatments for patients who want to fight the signs of aging and achieve a more youthful, refreshed appearance. We also offer laser skin treatments to reverse damage and make your skin glow with little to no downtime.
Many factors such as trauma, diseases, genetic predispositions, and other causes can make reconstructive or corrective surgery or treatments of the eyelids necessary for better health and improved quality of life. We offer surgical and non-surgical treatment options for people who have eyelid deformities, lesions around the eyelids, eyelid closing or blinking issues, and other issues requiring corrective or reconstructive work.
We also offer comprehensive treatment options that can help people who suffer from watery eyes, orbital tumors, facial paralysis, and other diseases and conditions that can negatively affect eye’s natural function.
Wrinkles, frown lines, and loss of fullness in the face can make you look tired and less alert. We offer minimally invasive injectable and filler solutions to patients seeking a non-surgical solution to these common age-related eye and face concerns. From Botox for wrinkles in the brow for thicker, longer eyelashes that you have always wanted, our vast selection of cosmetic injectables and fillers give patients a wealth of options to help them achieve their beauty and anti-aging goals.
To make quality care accessible to everyone, Milan Eye Center offers financing through a patient payment program. Unlike traditional lenders, this program approves nearly all applicants regardless of credit score and does not conduct hard credit checks, ensuring no damage to the patient’s credit. We also accept FSA/HSA plans.
