What is Oculofacial Plastic Surgery?

• Training Requirements in Oculofacial Plastic Surgery
  Training in oculofacial plastic surgery requires a one-year internship in surgery, a three-year residency in ophthalmology, and a two-year fellowship in oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Fellowship training is devoted to mastering the techniques and principles of oculofacial plastic surgery. This requires additional training with general plastic surgery, dermatology, otolaryngology and cosmetic/aesthetic plastic surgery. These fellowships are limited throughout the country and are governed by the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.


• Certification in Oculofacial Plastic Surgery
  Certification in oculofacial plastic surgery is administered by The American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. In addition to completing the six years of post-doctoral training above, fellowship in the Society requires a physician to complete a peer-reviewed thesis, and pass a written and oral examination. This rigorous training produces some of the most skilled plastic surgeons in the world, and makes sure that the surgeon you are seeing is properly credentialed, experienced, and qualified.
