Surprisingly, cosmetic procedures on the eyelids are still widely performed by general plastic surgeons, despite the fact that it is commonly accepted in Europe and America that procedures involving the eyelids should be performed by surgeons who are specialized and trained in eye diseases and procedures. The reason for this common assumption is that the eyelids are essential for the protection and proper functioning of the eye and therefore any surgery on them can have immediate and serious consequences for the eye. The general plastic surgeon cannot assess the health of the ocular surface and is therefore unable to account for potential complications by selecting the right candidates for surgery.\r\n\r\nOphthalmic plastic surgeons have completed years of basic training in ophthalmology and are familiar with the use of ophthalmic equipment. The table summarises the differences between general plastic and oculoplastic surgeons.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221;
