Ocuplastic surgery is used to repair the eye after it is damaged by disease or trauma. Ocuplastic surgeons also assist other specialists, such as oncologists or plastic surgeons, as they treat the eye area. Ocuplastic surgeons at UT Southwestern Medical Center have vast experience in medically and surgically treating a variety of eye conditions.
These surgeons also provide elective cosmetic repair such as Botox treatments, laser resurfacing, power peels and plastic surgery to remove furrows on the forehead and around the eye.
