The clinic will confirm the appropriate oculoplasty clinician before the appointment.

What people usually ask

These answers are general. Your examination determines what applies to you.

Is this cosmetic or medical?

It can be either, and the assessment is the same. The clinician will discuss what is affecting comfort or function and what is not.

Will I need a procedure?

Not necessarily. A consultation is an assessment, and it may conclude that no procedure is appropriate.
