When people think of plastic surgery, they often picture full-body procedures. But did you know there’s a specialty dedicated solely to the eyes and surrounding structures?

The CHStoday team recently visited Charleston Oculofacial Plastic Surgery to learn what makes these surgeons unique — plus what a consultation and recovery typically involve.

Why choose an oculofacial surgeon

Unlike general plastic surgeons, oculofacial plastic surgeons are ophthalmologists first, then complete extra fellowship training focused entirely on surgery of the eyelids, tear ducts, and facial anatomy around the eyes. This ultra-specific expertise makes them the go-to option for procedures in refreshing and rejuvenating this delicate area.

What the consultation was like

Our visit included a thorough health history review and a discussion of personalized options, ranging from surgical (like as blepharoplasty) to nonsurgical treatments like lasers or fillers.

Recovery insights

We learned that recovery usually involves bruising and swelling for about 7–14 days, with gradual improvement each week. Stitches are typically removed within five toseven days, and patients are advised to avoid makeup, contact lenses, and heavy exercise for one to two weeks.

Light daily activities can resume sooner, and following post-procedure instructions helps ensure the best results. Most patients feel “socially presentable” within two weeks, with full healing continuing over several months.
