Eye Socket Reconstruction Surgery in Houston
Eye Socket Reconstruction is one of the many cosmetic and reconstructive procedures now offered to our patients at the Berkeley Eye Center of Houston.
Skilled in the latest eye socket reconstructive procedures, our Houston oculoplastic surgeon has achieved excellent results when it comes to recreating and restoring the normal eye appearance of patients who have lost an eye as a result of trauma, disease, or birth defects, or those who have experienced damage to the orbit due to injury.
The Eye Socket or “Orbit”
In addition to the eye, the eye socket (also known as the orbit), contains the extraocular eye muscles that move the eye, the optic nerve, blood vessels and smaller nerves, which are important to eye, eyelid, and the surrounding facial tissue function. It also includes the bones that form the walls surrounding the eye. Their delicate nature and complex arrangement requires treatment by a specialist trained in diagnosing and treating oculoplastic conditions.
Eye Socket Restoration and Reconstruction
The goal of orbital reconstruction surgery is to restore the eye socket to as normal a function and appearance as possible. We employ a number of techniques, including:
- Repairing orbital bone fractures;
- Restoring eyelid contour and position;
- Augmenting orbital volume with implants or fat grafts;
- Ensuring the reconstructed socket is symmetrical with the other eye; and
- Ensuring realistic appearance and motility after surgery.
We also treat other orbital problems such as enophthalmos (backwards displacement of the eye), exophthalmos (protrusion of the eye) and eye bag reduction, as well as the assessment and treatment of growths/tumors inside and outside the socket.
