Oculoplastics
An Eye for Creating Beauty…
Really, it all comes down to a matter of trust.
Who do you trust more with your eyelids — an ophthalmologist, or a plastic surgeon? They both have their strengths — an ophthalmologist is trained specifically in the delicate details of the eye and has completed years of study devoted to that area. A plastic surgeon is trained in the aesthetic arts and is blessed with creativity and imagination, in addition to their surgical prowess. It is a difficult decision, and yet, there is a simple solution.
Oculoplastic surgery is a relatively new field that has been around since the late 1960s and combines the best elements of ophthalmology and plastic surgery. After completing an ophthalmology residency and gaining proficiency in microsurgical skills and ocular anatomy, an oculoplastic surgeon then completes a plastic surgery fellowship in order to hone their surgical skills of the eyelid, nasolacrimal system and orbit. This gives them a unique vantage point, since they have the advantages of both groups and the limitations of neither.
When looking for a plastic surgeon, board certification is always recommended. This requires passing a host of academic rigors, validation of surgical ability, and a promise of acting ethically. Keshini Parbhu, MD is board certified with the American Board of Ophthalmology and is a member of the prestigious American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. She has written numerous articles and helped teach other ophthalmologists oculoplastic techniques. Additionally, as a female, she brings a woman’s delicate touch and an unparalleled eye for creating beauty.
