Question 5

tell me about ocularplastic doctor?

Accepted Answer

An Ophthalmologist: Who has additional training in cosmetic surgery of the periorbital area. Oculoplastic surgeons typically would perform blepharoplasties (eyelid lifts), but may not have complete training in forehead (bicoronal, endoscopic, or trichophytic) lifts, and probably little rhinoplasty or facelift training--though some think they are sufficiently capable to provide these operations without full training!

Question 6

will  lazer surgery/intraocular lens fix strabismus/cross eyed?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Laser eye or implant surgery will correct your prescription but strabismus will likely persist.  Muscle surgery may be needed.  On the other hand, if glasses or contacts correct your eye misalignment, laser or implant surgery may fix both problems.

Question 7

whats cosmetic vs reconstructive surgeon or plastic surgeon?

Accepted Answer

Confusing, huh?: Most plastic surgeons do both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Reconstructive surgery starts with an abnormal feature and attempts to bring it closer to normal. Cosmetic surgery starts with a normal feature and attempts to make it better. A plastic surgeon is one certified by the american board of plastic surgery.

I hope that makes sense!
