Eyelid/Orbital Trauma Treatment
Eyelid or orbital trauma can happen without warning. But when it does, working with the right surgeon can help you overcome the experience. From reconstructive work to cosmetic restoration, our board-certified oculoplastic surgeon specializes in procedures to address orbital trauma from a range of causes.
Common Causes of Orbital Trauma
- Violence
- Motor vehicle collisions
- Sporting or recreational accidents
Who Will Treat Your Orbital Trauma?
As an oculofacial plastic surgeon, Dr. Renelle Lim specializes in treating emergency eyelid and orbital trauma. This can include eyelid lacerations (cuts or tears) and orbital fractures (injuries to the bones around the eye). Dr. Lim is well-trained and has extensive experience surgically repairing these traumatic injuries around the eye.
Preventing Eyelid and Orbital Trauma
While there is no guaranteed way to avoid any kind of injury, certain precautions can minimize your risk. These include:
- Wearing a seatbelt whenever in a moving vehicle
- Wearing proper protective equipment when playing sports
- Avoid high-risk activities such as extreme sports
What Will the Results Look Like?
Preserving patient well-being is always our first priority in any case of orbital or eyelid injuries. However, having the result look natural is also essential. These injuries are often traumatic, so we take every measure to allow patients to see results that minimize any visual impact of the damage. The severity of injuries can vary significantly, and results depend on the extent of damage and reconstruction required.
We provide an honest and accurate estimate of what your results will look like ahead of time so you can have realistic expectations.
