Our oculoplastic and facial plastic surgery team treats abnormalities that affect the eyelids, eyebrows, cheeks, orbital tissues, bones, and tear drainage system. We specialize in both functional facial reconstructive surgery and cosmetic facial plastic surgery.
Functional Oculoplastic & Facial Reconstructive Surgery
Functional oculoplastic and facial reconstructive surgery involves repairing areas that are blocking or otherwise impairing vision. These can include:
- Congenital defects
- Eye/facial disorders
- Aging
- Burns
- Tumors
- Other traumatic injuries
Any of these conditions may require functional reconstructive and plastic surgery on and around the eye or eyelids.
Cosmetic Facial Plastic Surgery
With cosmetic facial plastic surgery, we understand that although surgery is not need to improve your vision, you may elect to have surgery to help improve your self image by enhancing facial features such as the eyelids. We can discuss your vision with you and work towards helping you look your best.
Because we are a part of University of Utah Health Care, we have an extensive team that includes other specialists in otolaryngology, neuro-radiology, neurosurgery, dermatology, and craniofacial structure.
