Ann Arbor, Michigan has 5 ASOPRS fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeons listed on EyePlastics. They practise at 4 practices, including University of Michigan, Kellogg Eye Center and Kellogg Eye Center, University of Michigan. Between them, the listed surgeons offer care for the anophthalmic socket after eye loss, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lift, congenital eyelid and orbital conditions and tear-duct (lacrimal) surgery. 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 Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor practices quote it at consultation; many offer financing. Ask the practice to check your specific plan before scheduling.

Oculoplastic surgeons in Ann Arbor 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 →
