Expert Reconstruction for Eyelid Function and Ocular Protection

Reconstructive eyelid surgery at Cosmetic Eye Surgery in NYC focuses on repairing structural, functional, and trauma-related concerns that affect eyelid position, eye protection, tear flow, and visual comfort. As an ASOPRS fellowship-trained oculofacial plastic surgeon, Dr. Anna Ginter specializes exclusively in the anatomy of the eyes and surrounding structures, offering precise correction for conditions caused by trauma, nerve weakness, prior surgery, scarring, or congenital differences.

What Is Reconstructive Eyelid Surgery?

Reconstructive eyelid surgery addresses conditions that impair the eyelid’s ability to protect the eye, move comfortably, and maintain normal tear function. These procedures restore natural eyelid position, symmetry, and function, helping patients avoid chronic irritation, dryness, tearing, exposure, or changes in appearance. Treatments may involve repairing trauma, correcting malposition, revising prior surgery, or resolving inflammation-related issues.
