Cosmetic/Aesthetic Botox
Ophthalmologists use injectables such as Botox to reduce the looks of under eye wrinkles, eye bags and more.
Oculofacial and orbital surgery (also known as ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery) treats conditions of the eyelids, eye socket and tear drainage system.
While surgeons from many specialties can perform surgery of the eyelids and eye socket, oculofacial surgeons devote their entire practices to treating this small but vital area. The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center's oculofacial surgeons have training in both ophthalmology and reconstructive surgery, giving them the expertise to provide the best possible outcomes.
Often, conditions of the eye requiring oculofacial surgery involve other systems of the body. The oculofacial and orbital surgery team at the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center works closely with experts in other specialties — such as dermatology; neurosurgery; ear, nose and throat (ENT); and The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute — to provide comprehensive care to patients.
