Oculofacial Plastic Surgery
Restoring Function, Refreshing Appearance
The area around your eyes is delicate, expressive, and central to both how you see and how you look. At Innovative Ophthalmology, our oculofacial plastic surgery services combine specialized surgical expertise with advanced technology to treat medical conditions, restore function, and refresh your appearance.
What is Oculofacial Plastic Surgery?
Oculofacial plastic surgery is a specialized field focused on the areas around the eyes. This can include the tear ducts, eye socket, and, of course, the eyelids. Because these tissues are among the most delicate in the body and sit so close to the eye itself, they call for a surgeon who understands both how the eye functions and how the face looks. Oculofacial procedures aim to restore comfortable, healthy function while preserving and often enhancing a natural, refreshed appearance. This is a discipline where precision matters in millimeters. Oculofacial plastic surgery brings medical expertise and surgical artistry together in one carefully trained hand.
Meet Dr. Tooley
At Innovative Ophthalmology, oculofacial plastic surgery is led by Andrea Tooley, MD, FACS, a fellowship-trained oculoplastic and orbital surgeon who has built her entire career around the eyelids, orbit, and the structures that surround the eye.
Dr. Tooley treats the full spectrum of oculofacial concerns, and she approaches every patient with the goal of finding the right solution for your specific anatomy, your health, and the results you’re hoping for. She combines deep surgical expertise with a genuine commitment to making patients feel heard, informed, and confident in their care.
When precision matters in millimeters and the stakes involve both your vision and your appearance, Dr. Tooley brings the training, the experience, and the thoughtfulness the area around your eyes deserves.
UltraClear Laser
Targeted Rejuvenation for Delicate Skin
At Innovative Ophthalmology, we use the UltraClear laser as our advanced technology for skin rejuvenation and resurfacing around the eyes.
UltraClear is the world’s first cold-fiber laser and is FDA-cleared and safe for all skin types. It is designed to resurface and rejuvenate skin with precision and minimal downtime. It works by gently removing damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen and elastin production deeper in the dermis, improving fine lines, pigmentation, texture, and overall skin quality from the inside out. Because it delivers results without the intensity of traditional lasers, it is especially beneficial for the thin, sensitive skin of the periocular region.
In Dr. Tooley’s hands, it becomes a powerful complement to surgical care or a standalone treatment for patients seeking meaningful rejuvenation without surgery.
Oculofacial Plastic Surgery at Innovative Ophthalmology
At Innovative Ophthalmology, oculofacial plastic surgery is led by Andrea Tooley, MD, FACS, a fellowship-trained specialist dedicated to the eyelids, orbit, and surrounding facial structures. Dr. Tooley cares for the full spectrum of oculofacial concerns from cosmetic and functional eyelid surgery to complex orbital and reconstructive conditions.
Our approach is built around you. Every consultation begins with understanding your concerns and goals, whether they are medical, cosmetic, or both, so we can recommend the treatment plan that fits your needs and delivers results that look and feel like you.
Eyelid Surgery
The eyelids do a great deal of work, and over time or because of an underlying condition, they can begin to interfere with comfort, vision, and appearance. Dr. Tooley performs both blepharoplasty, which is often referred to plainly as eyelid surgery, and ptosis repair, both of which can correct drooping upper eyelids.
At Innovative Ophthalmology, we offer both cosmetic and functional blepharoplasty. Functional eyelid surgery addresses heaviness or excess skin that obstructs the field of vision, while cosmetic blepharoplasty refreshes tired, aging eyes.
Many patients benefit from a combination of the two, achieving a result that is both healthier and more youthful.
Periocular Rejuvenation
The skin around the eyes is the first place many people notice signs of aging. Our periocular rejuvenation services are designed to restore a rested, natural appearance using both surgical and non-surgical options.
On the surgical side, Dr. Tooley offers upper and lower blepharoplasty, brow resets and brow lifts, and skin resurfacing with the UltraClear laser. For patients who prefer non-surgical refinement or who want to complement surgical results, we also offer injectables, including Botox and dermal fillers.
Because we provide both surgical and non-surgical treatments under one roof, we can tailor a rejuvenation plan to your goals, your timeline, and how much (or how little) intervention you’re looking for.
Advanced Treatments for the Delicate Skin Around the Eyes
What sets periocular skin care at Innovative Ophthalmology apart is the combination of Dr. Tooley’s surgical precision and the UltraClear laser in one practice. Whether you are addressing fine lines, pigmentation, acne scarring, uneven texture, or dull under-eyes, treatments are tailored to your skin and performed by a surgeon who understands exactly what lies beneath it.
Orbital and Functional Conditions
Beyond the eyelids, the orbit and surrounding tissues can be affected by a range of medical conditions. Dr. Tooley diagnoses and treats:
- Ectropion (outward-turning eyelid)
- Entropion (inward-turning eyelid)
- Trichiasis (misdirected eyelashes)
- Thyroid eye disease
- Orbital tumors
- Lacrimal (tear duct) obstructions
- Orbital inflammation
- Skin cancers around the eyes
These conditions can affect comfort, vision, and appearance, and several require the specialized knowledge that comes with oculofacial training. Our goal is accurate diagnosis followed by treatment that protects both the health of your eyes and the function of the tissues around them.
Reconstructive & Inflammatory Care
Some of the most rewarding oculofacial work involves restoring form and function after injury, surgery, or disease. Dr. Tooley provides expert reconstructive and inflammatory care, including treatment of orbital myositis and orbital inflammatory disease.
On the reconstructive side, her areas of focus include:
- Eyelid reconstruction after skin cancer removal surgery
- Eye socket reconstruction after eye removal surgery
- Eye socket reconstruction after trauma
This work demands meticulous technique and a deep understanding of how the eyelids and orbit are meant to look and move. Patients facing these challenges can trust that they are in experienced, compassionate hands.
