Surgical procedures around the eye, such as the eyelid, under the eye, and tear duct, are called oculoplastic surgery, also known as "eye plastic surgery." Some of these treatments are purely cosmetic, which helps in improving the appearance, while others provide a secondary benefit to the patient's health or comfort. They may, for example, enhance the patient's field of vision or reduce eye-watering.

How To Prepare For Oculoplastic Surgery?
Your surgeon will discuss the specific steps you should take to prepare for surgery. On the other hand, most oculoplastic surgeries need the same preparation.
- A week before surgery, stop taking blood thinners. To put it differently, no aspirin and no liquor.
- You should quit 2 to 3 weeks before surgery if you smoke, and smoke may quickly enter the eyes and obstruct the healing process.
- Schedule routine testing with your doctor to verify that surgery is a safe choice for you which typically involves getting blood tests and an EKG
- Make arrangements to have someone drive you home after your procedure. It's not a good idea to push yourself too hard.
