Oculoplásticos

Oculoplastic Surgery

The Division of Ophthalmic and Facial Plastic Surgery at Montefiore Medical Center is dedicated to helping patients improve and maintain their vision. Common eye conditions include drooping eyelids and excess eyelid skin, which prevent clear vision. Our oculoplastic surgeons deliver innovative procedures that improve the function and appearance of upper and lower eyelids.
