Oculoplastic Surgery

Why It's Done

Oculoplastic surgery addresses cosmetic or functional issues affecting the eyelids, tear ducts, and surrounding structures. Common reasons for oculoplastic surgery include eyelid drooping (ptosis), eyelid malpositions (entropion or ectropion), tear duct blockages, or removal of eyelid lesions.

Procedure Explanation

Oculoplastic surgery involves precise surgical techniques to enhance eyelid appearance, restore eyelid function, or improve tear drainage. Procedures may include eyelid lifts, eyelid repositioning, tear duct surgery, or eyelid lesion removal, depending on the patient’s needs.

Step-by-Step

Pre-operative assessment: The surgeon evaluates the patient's eyelid condition and discusses treatment goals and expectations.
Anesthesia administration: Local or general anesthesia is administered based on the complexity of the procedure and patient preference.
Surgical intervention: The surgeon performs the necessary oculoplastic procedures, such as eyelid repositioning, tissue excision, or tear duct repair, with meticulous attention to detail.
Closure: Surgical incisions are carefully closed with sutures or surgical adhesive to promote optimal healing and cosmetic outcomes.
Post-operative care: Patients receive instructions for post-operative care, including eye care, wound management, and follow-up appointments to monitor recovery progress.

Insurance and Empanelment

Oculoplastic surgery may be covered by insurance if deemed medically necessary for functional issues. Cosmetic procedures are typically not covered by insurance. Patients should verify coverage and payment responsibilities with our billing department.

We accept a wide range of insurance plans and are empanelled with CGHS and ECHS for eligible patients undergoing medically necessary oculoplastic procedures. Patients are encouraged to confirm insurance coverage and empanelment status before surgery.

EMI and Payment Options

For patients seeking alternative payment arrangements, EMI options are available to help manage surgical expenses. Our billing team can provide information on payment plans and financing options tailored to individual needs.
