Boston, Massachusetts has 7 ASOPRS fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeons listed on EyePlastics. They practise at 5 practices, including Boston Medical Center, Mass Eye and Ear/Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary/ Harvard Medical School. Between them, the listed surgeons offer care for the anophthalmic socket after eye loss, congenital eyelid and orbital conditions, tear-duct (lacrimal) surgery, orbital tumour treatment and thyroid eye disease care. Every surgeon here completed an ophthalmology residency followed by an accredited fellowship in eyelid, orbital and lacrimal surgery — the training that distinguishes an oculoplastic surgeon from a general plastic surgeon or a dermatologist.
As listed by the surgeons themselves — the number is how many of them list it.

Look for three things on any Boston surgeon's profile: an accredited oculoplastic fellowship (ASOPRS is the recognised US credential), board certification in ophthalmology, and current hospital or surgery-centre privileges. Then match the surgeon to the problem — eyelid, tear duct, orbit and thyroid eye disease are all oculoplastic, but individual surgeons list the procedures they focus on. At a consultation, ask how many of that specific procedure the surgeon performs a year and to see before-and-after photographs of similar cases.
It depends on why the surgery is being done, not where. Functional procedures — ptosis repair when a drooping lid blocks vision, upper-eyelid blepharoplasty when excess skin obstructs the visual field (documented by a visual-field test and photographs), eyelid lesion removal, and tear-duct surgery — are usually covered. Purely cosmetic eyelid surgery is self-pay, and Boston practices quote it at consultation; many offer financing. Ask the practice to check your specific plan before scheduling.

Oculoplastic surgeons in Boston offer both cosmetic and medical procedures — including blepharoplasty (eye lift), ptosis repair, thyroid eye disease treatment, blocked tear duct surgery (DCR), eyelid laxity repair (ectropion/entropion), brow lift, and eyelid skin cancer excision with reconstruction.
ASOPRS fellowship training is the gold standard credential in oculoplastic surgery. It requires completion of a full ophthalmology residency followed by a 1–2 year accredited fellowship specifically in eyelid, orbital, and lacrimal surgery. Learn more about oculoplastic surgeons →
