Dramatically Improve the Way You Look—And See

The quality of your vision is directly related to the function of the skin and structures surrounding your eyes. By combining ophthalmic and plastic surgery principles, oculoplastic surgery can not only improve the clarity and overall quality of your vision, but it can also improve your appearance, leading to a more rejuvenated appearance.

 

What Is Oculoplastic Surgery?

Oculoplastic surgery focuses on functional and reconstructive treatments for the eyelids, tear ducts, and ocular orbits, as well as cosmetic procedures for the eyelids, eyebrows, and face. As the regional leader in eye care, Wilmington Eye provides specialty care in oculoplastic surgery, as well as the nonsurgical management of many conditions affecting the tissues and structures surrounding the eyes.

Our oculoplastic surgeons also perform aesthetic procedures of the face with injectable treatments, such as BOTOX and Dysport, and facial fillers like Restylane, as well as laser and light procedures aimed at improving the pigment, tone and texture of your skin.

Improving Your Vision

If you feel that your eyelids are obstructing your vision, experience any growths or developments around your eyes or have a disruption in your body’s natural production of tears, it may be time to schedule an appointment with an oculoplastic surgeon. Problems with eyelid function and appearance or tear production can occur at any age, from birth until late into adulthood.

While eyelid procedures such as upper and lower eyelid lifts are some of the most common procedures performed by an oculoplastic surgeon, Wilmington Eye’s expert team of providers offer a range of oculoplastic procedures that include:

  • Blepharoplasty
  • Upper & lower eyelid lifts
  • Plastic and reconstructive surgery of the face and eyelids
  • Ocular orbits
  • Ptosis
  • Tear systems
  • Brow lifts
  • Forehead and mid-face lifts
  • Cancer reconstructions
  • Cosmetic lower eyelid surgery

  • "Every person in the office was friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Escaravage asked me what I knew about blapharoplasties & I explained that I was a retired OR nurse, therefore I had a pretty good idea! I have nothing but the highest recommendations for my entire experience, from the initial consult to my post op check. "
    Marilyn O.
  • "Dr Escaravage is one of the best doc's we've ever had. Some of his best features are that he is personal and compassionate. He surgically removed my wife's left eye because of a rare form of cancer in the eye lid and tissues surrounding the eye ball. He could not have shown more compassion if she had been his own mother. We love him and highly recommend him to anyone."
    Elizabeth & Earl
  • "I live an hour away from Wilmington, but it was worth the drive. I was able to get in for a minor procedure, (opening tear ducts) by agreeing to see the PA, Mackenzie. She was very thorough and explained the procedure. The day of the procedure, I was in and out in 30 minutes. I have healed nicely and I am very happy with the results. I will use Wilmington Eye for all of my future eye care needs. "
