Restoring comfort and confidence through advanced eyelid surgery techniques.
By Dr. Hossam Elbarbary, Consultant Ophthalmologist & Oculoplastic Surgeon in Dubai
Oculoplasty is a specialized field of eye surgery that focuses on the structures around the eyes — including the eyelids, tear ducts, and orbit. At NMC Specialty Hospital in Al Nahda, Dubai, Dr. Hossam Elbarbary offers expert surgical and non-surgical care to restore both appearance and function, including oculoplasty surgery in dubai.
What Is Oculoplastic Surgery?
Oculoplastic surgery treats a wide range of functional and aesthetic conditions such as:
- Eyelid malpositions (entropion, ectropion)
- Drooping eyelids (ptosis)
- Tear duct obstruction (blocked tear drainage)
- Eyelid or orbital tumors and reconstruction.
- Eyelid cysts or chalazion
- Cosmetic enhancements like blepharoplasty
- Orbital floor fractures
These surgeries are often performed under local anesthesia and have quick recovery times, especially when done early.
Conditions We Treat and How We Treat Them
✅ Entropion & Ectropion
Malposition of the eyelids can lead to irritation, tearing, and exposure. Surgery corrects the lid position and restores function.

✅ Ptosis (Drooping Eyelids)
Caused by aging, nerve injury, or congenital weakness. Ptosis can interfere with vision and affect appearance. Surgical tightening of the eyelid’s levator muscle corrects the droop.

This educational video is perfect for patients considering ptosis repair or wanting to understand their condition better. 👉 Clear medical explanation in this video.

✅ Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
This enhances vision and appearance by removing excess eyelid skin and fat. It also reduces puffiness and tired appearance.

✅ Blocked Tear Duct (NLDO)
If you suffer from constant tearing or infection, we may recommend a DCR (dacryocystorhinostomy) to restore tear drainage.

This trusted video clearly shows the steps, instruments used, and expected outcomes for treating blocked tear ducts—commonly performed when tear drainage fails.
