Here's the answer to question "What's the difference between an oculoplastic surgeon and plastic surgeon"


"An oculoplastic surgeon and a plastic surgeon are both medical professionals who specialize in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, but they differ in their areas of expertise.

An oculoplastic surgeon is a specialist who has received additional training in surgery of the eye and surrounding structures, including the eyelids, brows, tears ducts, and face. Oculoplastic surgeons focus specifically on the cosmetic and functional aspects of the eyes and face. They have the skills and knowledge to perform a range of procedures, including eyelid ptosis repair, eyelid lifts, brow lifts, and reconstructive surgery after trauma or cancer.


On the other hand, a plastic surgeon is a generalist who has received training in a broad range of cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedures. They typically perform surgery on all parts of the body, including the face, breasts, body, and extremities. While a plastic surgeon may have some experience with procedures in and around the eyes, they are not necessarily experts in this area.


In summary, if you're seeking surgery in and around the eyes, it's important to consider an oculoplastic surgeon, as they have specialized training in this area and are best equipped to achieve the best possible results."
