Good Eye Surgeons Can Assist With Many Conditions

1. Good Eye Surgeons Can Good Eye Surgeons Can Assist With Many Conditions Assist With Many Conditions It is almost impossible to imagine a world without doctors and other medical professionals that help thousands of patients every day to get better, to improve their lives and to regain those capabilities they once had but then lost – until the intervention of a dentist, a doctor or eye care professional such as the ophthalmologist, the eye specialist that ensures your vision is as good as can be. Some of these specialists may even specialize further in their chosen field. For example, the ophthalmologist may decide to only undertake operations to ensure vision is repaired so that the patient sees well again. Others may concentrate on surgeries to save lives by removing cancerous growths; others, still, may offer cosmetic surgery, the so-called oculoplastic surgery, which concerns itself more with appearance than only medical or functional surgeries – and others may decide to combine all of these disciplines and offer all of them. For the surgeon it would often depend on choice of the area they prefer to work in – whether they want to specialize in one or more areas, or offer their services across a wide spectrum. Looking at the ophthalmologist, for example, it has to be noted that these specialists are medically trained doctors that, after having done their first degrees and training, opt for further, specialist training to become eye specialists –

Some prefer to concentrate on cosmetic and plastic surgeries for the area around the eye, and not necessarily those conditions that refer eye disease, surgery to the inner eye and research that specifically concerns itself with diagnoses of disease, of areas that directly affect vision – even if they can if they want to, or in combination with their function as a cosmetic eye surgeon. Looking more closely at the work the cosmetic eye surgeon does, it is mentioned that he/she may have a special interest in oculoplastic surgery, that field that shows a preference of ophthalmologists to work in plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery to the areas surrounding the eyes such as all periorbital and facial tissues such as eye lids (both upper and lower), the brows, forehead, cheeks and the lacrimal (tears) system. These specialists offer the best ability and skills to work in these areas and are the ones to approach if you need either corrective, cosmetic procedures – or surgeries to repair certain areas around the eyes. It should also be remembered that there is a distinction between the functions of a plastic surgeon, who is the professional that concentrates, in addition to basic surgery, also on, for example, tissue transfer, body contour and other surgeries to improve the face and various other body parts. The oculoplastic surgeon is the one that specifically targets the areas around the patient’s eyes, either for medical reasons or purely to improve appearance to help the patient to look more youthful again. Eyelid surgery is also referred to as the blepharoplasty that removes unsightly bags under the eyes, or corrects a droopy upper eyelid by performing a surgery to remove excessive fatty deposits and making sure the area is tightened so muscles will function well again. This is one of those procedures that is done all the time to help patients improve their appearance. Very often the oculoplastic surgeon may also decide that other treatments, such as Botox, are a great addition. It depends on individual cases and the surgeon’s opinion, which will be discussed with the patient before any work is done to the eyes or face. Of course a good eye surgeon will certainly offer other procedures and surgeries to make sure the whole facial area around the eyes is looked at. Therefore the best of these eye surgeons will often perform other surgeries in addition to cosmetic services, for instance retraction repair to eyelids that are pulling away from the eyes, or conditions that cause eyelids to turn inward, for example. This is one of the areas that a good oculoplastic surgeon will indeed look at and repair.
