Eyelid and Facial Reconstruction Now Available: Expanding Specialized Eye Care Services
Patients at our locations in Smyrna, Milford, Newark, and Dover now have access to comprehensive oculoplastic services. We are pleased to introduce Dr. Diana H. Kim, a board-certified ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgeon who provides highly specialized care for the eyelids, tear ducts, orbit, and surrounding facial areas.
What Is Oculoplastics and Why It Matters
Oculoplastic surgery is a specialized branch of ophthalmology that focuses on the structures around the eyes, such as the eyelids, tear drainage system, and orbital tissues. These procedures address both medical issues such as drooping eyelids, blocked tear ducts, orbital disease, and eyelid injuries, as well as cosmetic concerns related to aging changes around the eyes. The goal is to improve vision, comfort, function, and appearance while keeping the eyes protected.
With Dr. Kim now part of the team, patients can receive this advanced level of care close to home without the need to coordinate appointments across multiple offices.
Oculoplastic Services Now Offered
With this expansion, patients can now receive treatment for:
- Eyelid concerns including excess skin, drooping lids, asymmetry, or functional obstruction
- Reconstructive needs related to trauma, prior eyelid surgery, eyelid cancer, or congenital issues
- Tear duct blockages that cause constant tearing or infections
- Orbital issues such as tumors or inflammatory conditions
- Cosmetic eyelid rejuvenation to improve the appearance of tired or aged eyelids
What This Means for Patients in the Local Area
Residents in and around our Smyrna, Milford, Newark, and Dover offices now have easy access to a level of expertise that is not available in many general ophthalmology practices. Whether a patient needs improved eyelid function, relief from tearing, treatment for orbital disease, or a refreshed appearance, they can receive personalized guidance and surgical care from a specialist.
Why This Addition Is Important
- Oculoplastic surgery requires additional training beyond standard ophthalmology, which ensures highly precise and safe treatment of delicate eye structures.
- Having oculoplastics available within the practice improves continuity of care since patients can complete evaluations, surgery, and follow-up in a familiar setting.
- Patients benefit from integrated care that supports both functional and cosmetic goals.
Schedule an Evaluation
If you have concerns about your eyelids, tear drainage, or the area around your eyes, or if you are interested in cosmetic eyelid rejuvenation, you can schedule an evaluation at any of our locations in Smyrna, Milford, Newark, or Dover. Dr. Kim can assess your needs, explain your options, and help you determine the best treatment plan.
