Oculoplastics

The oculofacial plastic surgeons at the Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye Institute specialize in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures designed to improve the appearance and function of the eyelids and face, allowing patients to look and feel natural again.

The eyelids and structures around the eyes are critical for vision. Injuries, congenital defects, aging changes and tumors can cause pain, eye damage, vision loss and disfigurement. Changes in the eye's appearance or the loss of an eye can decrease one's ability to interact in social settings and in the workplace.

Along with a variety of cosmetic procedures, our surgeons can insert implants, reconstruct eyelids and eye sockets, correct eyelid-position abnormalities, remove growths and rebuild critical ocular structures.
