Dr. Rona Silkiss is an expert in oculofacial plastic, reconstructive and orbital surgery. Oculofacial plastic surgery is a highly specialized area of plastic surgery that focuses on the area around the eyes, forehead and midface. Many of her patients request cosmetic eyelid and forehead surgery. She specializes in eyelid and facial rejuvenation using the most sophisticated minimally-invasive and non-invasive state-of-the-art techniques available. In addition, she performs skin resurfacing as well as Botox, Dysport, and the full range of filler services. She provides reconstructive surgery for people with age-related eyelid conditions. These include drooping eyelids (ptosis), eyelid malpositions (entropion, ectropion), and eyelash abnormalities. And she treats tumors of the eyelids and orbit, trauma, congenital abnormalities, thyroid eye disease, tearing problems, and blinking difficulties (blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm).
As an oculofacial plastic surgeon (also commonly referred to as oculoplastic surgeons), Dr. Silkiss is part of a handful of plastic surgeons who are both diplomates of the American Board of Ophthalmology (ABO) and members of the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS).
She strives to give her patients the best possible results while treating them with compassion and respect.
WHY CHOOSE AN OCULOFACIAL PLASTIC SURGEON
Oculofacial plastic surgery (also called oculoplastic surgery) is a subspecialty that focuses on the eyelids, orbits (eye socket), lacrimal (tear duct) system, and surrounding face. An oculofacial plastic surgeon is a specialist who has completed a 4 year residency in ophthalmology, focusing on the delicate and meticulous surgical procedures of the eye and surrounding structures. Members of the prestigious American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS) go on to complete an additional 2-years of subspecialty fellowship training focusing exclusively on surgery of the eyelids, orbits (eye socket), lacrimal (tear duct) system, and surrounding face. The level of training of an oculofacial plastic surgeon is unparalleled when it comes to the complex issues that are involved in this most delicate area of the face. Choosing an oculofacial plastic surgeon ensures the most natural surgical results while maintaining vital eye health.
