It is important to understand that plastic surgery is not only reserved for people who are interested in appearing more youthful and vivacious.  There are many reconstructive plastic surgeries that are deemed medically necessary in order to improve and restore the function and look of the eyes and eyelids.  Some of the many oculoplastic surgeries are performed to repair ptosis (drooping eyelids that inhibit peripheral vision) or reconstruct lid deformities following trauma or removal of skin cancers or skin lesions. Reconstructive surgery can also apply to certain birth defects of the eyes or eyelids.
