Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of the eye is also known as oculoplastic surgery. It involves surgery of the periorbital and facial tissues including eyelids and eyebrows, orbit (socket), and lacrimal (tear) system. These procedures are typically performed in an outpatient setting. Our oculoplastics surgeon, Fred S. Bodker, MD, has completed extensive post-residency training in this unique subspecialty. His fellowship was completed in Chicago, IL, under the direction of Dr. Allen Putterman. He was accepted for membership in the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, an honor society of approximately 450 surgeons, in 1996.
