FAQ
-
What inspired you to become an oculoplastic surgeon?
I’ve always been fascinated by the delicate structure of the eyes and the way they define a person’s appearance. My interest in surgery naturally led me towards ophthalmology, but I was particularly drawn to the precision and artistry involved in eyelid surgery. It’s an area where function and aesthetics come together, allowing me to help patients both see better and feel more confident in their appearance.
-
What types of eyelid surgery do you specialise in?
My expertise covers a wide range of procedures, from functional surgeries like ptosis correction, which helps improve drooping eyelids, to cosmetic treatments such as blepharoplasty. I also perform reconstructive surgery for conditions like eyelid tumours and trauma-related injuries. Whether a procedure is carried out for medical or aesthetic reasons, my goal is always to achieve natural-looking results that enhance both vision and facial harmony.
-
What should patients consider before undergoing eyelid surgery?
Anyone thinking about eyelid surgery should start by understanding their own reasons and expectations. It’s important to have a clear idea of what can realistically be achieved. A detailed consultation helps assess whether surgery is the right option and ensures that the patient is in good health for the procedure. Choosing a surgeon with extensive experience in oculoplastic surgery is also crucial, as eyelid surgery requires precision and a deep understanding of both form and function.
-
What can patients expect during recovery?
Recovery varies depending on the type of procedure, but in most cases, swelling and bruising are common in the first week. Many patients find that they can return to their normal activities within ten to fourteen days. I always provide detailed aftercare instructions to support healing and minimise discomfort. It’s important to rest, follow the advice given, and attend follow-up appointments to ensure everything is progressing as expected.
-
What do you find most rewarding about your work?
Seeing the positive impact my work has on patients’ lives is incredibly rewarding. Whether it’s restoring someone’s ability to see clearly or enhancing their confidence with a well-performed aesthetic procedure, the difference surgery can make is remarkable. Every case is unique, and I take great satisfaction in tailoring treatments to each individual’s needs, helping them achieve the best possible outcome.
