Reduce redness, sun spots, and uneven tone with BBL. Performed in NYC by Dr. Schwarcz’s trusted team. Book a session today. BBL Laser in NYC Brighten, Clarify, and Rejuvenate Your Skin BBL laser—short for BroadBand Light therapy—is a powerful, non-invasive treatment that targets sun damage, redness, pigmentation, and early signs of aging while improving skin tone and texture. This light-based technology delivers precise pulses of energy to the skin, gently stimulating collagen production and addressing discoloration for a clearer, more radiant complexion. Whether you're looking to reverse years of sun exposure or simply restore your skin’s glow, BBL laser is a go-to solution with minimal downtime and noticeable results. At our Manhattan office, BBL laser is performed by Dr. Robert Schwarcz, a double board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon, as well as Nurse Leanne Jones and Aesthetician Silvana Mos. Consultations and follow-ups are also available in Rye, NY. If you’re searching for expert BBL laser treatments in NYC, trust our skilled team to help you achieve luminous, natural-looking skin. What Is BBL Laser and How Does It Work? BBL (BroadBand Light) therapy uses advanced light energy to target pigmented spots, redness, and uneven skin tone. The pulses of light are absorbed by melanin (pigment) and hemoglobin (in blood vessels), which the body then naturally clears away, revealing healthier, more even-toned skin underneath. This versatile technology is effective for treating: Sun damage and age spots Redness and rosacea Uneven pigmentation and discoloration Fine lines and textural irregularities Acne scars and active acne Large pores and dull skin BBL can be used on the face, neck, chest, hands, and other areas of the body—making it ideal for comprehensive skin rejuvenation with minimal disruption to your routine. Who Is a Good Candidate for BBL Laser in NYC? You may be an excellent candidate for BBL laser if you: Have visible signs of sun damage or skin aging Struggle with redness, pigmentation, or uneven tone Want to improve skin texture without surgery or extensive downtime Are looking for a maintenance treatment to preserve youthful skin Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations BBL is especially effective for lighter skin types and is often part of a long-term skincare plan to maintain a radiant, even complexion. When BBL Laser May Not Be the Right Fit BBL is safe and well-tolerated for most patients, but it may not be appropriate if you: Have very dark skin tones, which carry a higher risk of pigmentation changes Have active acne outbreaks, skin infections, or significant inflammation Are pregnant or breastfeeding Are currently taking photosensitizing medications Have a history of poor healing or keloid scarring Our team will assess your skin during a consultation and recommend the best treatment path based on your unique concerns and skin type. How to Prepare for Your BBL Laser Treatment A few easy steps before your appointment can help optimize your results and make the experience as smooth as possible: Sun Protection: Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least 2–3 weeks prior Stop Certain Products: Discontinue use of retinoids, exfoliants, and any skin-sensitizing products several days before treatment Avoid Self-Tanners: These can interfere with laser accuracy and increase risks Clean Skin: Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the day of your appointment Discuss Medications: Let us know about any medications or supplements you are taking Our team will provide personalized instructions before your session based on your skin’s needs. What to Expect During a BBL Laser Treatment BBL laser is a comfortable and relatively quick procedure performed in our Manhattan office, typically taking 30 to 45 minutes depending on the size of the treatment area. Here’s how it works: Before Treatment: Your skin will be cleansed, and a cooling gel may be applied. Protective eyewear will be provided. During Treatment: The device emits pulses of broad-spectrum light. You may feel a mild snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band. Most patients find it very tolerable. After Treatment: Your skin may appear pink or flushed, similar to a mild sunburn, and dark spots may temporarily darken before fading. You’ll be given aftercare instructions to support your healing process. There’s no need for downtime, and most patients return to normal activities the same day. BBL Laser Recovery Timeline Though there’s little to no downtime, it’s important to follow your provider’s aftercare advice for optimal results: 24–48 Hours: Mild redness and warmth may linger. Avoid hot showers, steam, and strenuous exercise Days 3–7: Pigmented spots may darken and flake off, revealing clearer skin underneath Weeks 2–4: Skin clarity and tone continue to improve as collagen production ramps up Long-Term: With consistent skincare and sun protection, you’ll maintain a more even and youthful complexion over time We recommend a series of 3–5 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for the best outcome, followed by maintenance treatments as needed. Results You Can Expect from BBL Laser BBL laser delivers beautiful, visible results after just one session, with optimal outcomes after a full series. Patients commonly see: Brighter, more even-toned skin Reduction in sun spots, freckles, and redness Improved skin texture and smoother appearance Fewer fine lines and signs of aging A healthy, radiant glow With continued treatments and proper sun protection, results can last for months—and get even better over time. Complementary Treatments to Enhance Your BBL Results BBL laser pairs beautifully with other skin treatments for even greater rejuvenation: Moxi Laser: A gentle, non-ablative laser perfect for treating early signs of aging and boosting skin tone and texture Facials or Microneedling: These can help improve skin texture, hydration, and post-laser healing Injectables: Combine BBL with neuromodulators (like Dysport) or fillers for a more comprehensive facial refresh Alternatives to BBL Laser for Skin Rejuvenation If BBL isn’t the right fit or you’re looking for a more aggressive solution, you might consider: CO2 Laser: A deeper, more intensive resurfacing treatment ideal for wrinkles, scars, and advanced sun damage Chemical Peels: Great for brightening the skin and improving mild pigmentation or texture with little downtime Your provider will help you weigh the pros and cons of each based on your concerns and goals.

These injuries can involve one or more of the following: Orbital fractures (bones around the eye socket) Nasal fractures (broken nose) Zygomatic fractures (cheekbone) Maxillary fractures (upper jaw) Mandibular fractures (lower jaw) Frontal sinus or brow fractures Depending on the location and severity, the goal of treatment is to restore the natural contours of the face , protect vital structures like the eyes and sinuses, and ensure proper function of the mouth, nose, and vision .

Who Should Delay or Avoid Surgery? Surgical repair may be postponed or adjusted for individuals who: Have severe swelling that needs to subside before reconstruction Are medically unstable or not cleared for anesthesia Are recovering from active infections Have complex, non-displaced fractures that may heal with observation Dr. Schwarcz will review your imaging and medical history to determine the safest and most effective approach. How to Prepare for Facial Fracture Surgery Your surgical plan will depend on the injury, but general preparation includes: Medical Clearance : Bloodwork and medical evaluations may be required Imaging : A CT scan helps define the extent and location of the fracture Medication Review : Stop blood thinners, aspirin, and supplements that increase bleeding risk Smoking Cessation : Smoking impairs healing and should be avoided Arrange Transportation : You’ll need a responsible adult to take you home and assist afterward Dr. Schwarcz and his surgical team will provide comprehensive pre-operative instructions and support.

Facial swelling gradually improves. 3–6 Weeks : Return to normal activities, though strenuous activity should be avoided until cleared. 3–6 Months : Final healing and resolution of swelling; any residual scars continue to mature and fade.

Lift sagging eyelids and restore bright, youthful eyes with upper blepharoplasty in NYC by Dr. Robert Schwarcz. UPPER BLEPHAROPLASTY IN NYC Refine, Rejuvenate, and Brighten Your Eyes with Dr. Robert Schwarcz Your eyes are one of the first places to show signs of aging—and one of the most powerful areas to transform your entire appearance. If drooping eyelids, excess skin, or a “hooded” look is making you seem older, tired, or less alert than you feel, upper blepharoplasty in NYC may be the most effective way to restore a refreshed, natural appearance. Also known as an eyelid lift or cosmetic upper eyelid surgery , this procedure removes excess skin and repositions or trims fat and muscle in the upper eyelids. The result? A brighter gaze, smoother contours, and enhanced symmetry—without looking like you’ve had “work done.” Performed in Dr. Robert Schwarcz’s JCAHO-certified private surgical suite on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, upper blepharoplasty is one of the most requested procedures for both men and women in their 30s through 70s. Consultations and follow-ups are available in both our Manhattan and Rye, NY offices. What Is Upper Blepharoplasty? Upper blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects excess skin, puffiness, and muscle laxity in the upper eyelids. It is often used to treat: A heavy, drooping eyelid fold that makes you look tired or aged Interference with vision caused by overhanging skin Difficulty applying makeup due to a loss of lid space A lack of symmetry between the two eyes This procedure involves making a discreet incision in the natural crease of the upper eyelid. Through this incision, Dr. Schwarcz removes excess skin, conservatively trims or repositions fat, and adjusts the muscle if needed. Once healed, the scar is virtually invisible. More than a cosmetic enhancement, upper blepharoplasty often improves day-to-day function for those whose vision is affected by sagging lids. Patients frequently report that they not only look more youthful, but also feel more awake and expressive. What Causes Sagging Eyelids? There are several reasons why the upper eyelids may begin to droop or appear heavy. Aging is the most common, as skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity over time. The levator muscle, which lifts the eyelid, may weaken or stretch with age, leading to a lower eyelid position. Genetics also play a role—some people are born with a more hooded or low-set eyelid crease that becomes more noticeable over time. Environmental factors like sun exposure and smoking contribute to skin damage and loss of firmness, and chronic stress or fatigue can exaggerate puffiness or asymmetry. In some cases, true ptosis (muscle-related eyelid droop) may also be present, and Dr. Schwarcz will determine whether blepharoplasty or ptosis repair is the better option—or if a combination is needed. Who Is a Candidate for Upper Eyelid Surgery? You may be a candidate for upper blepharoplasty if you have sagging, heavy upper lids that make you look more tired or aged than you feel. This procedure is especially well-suited for individuals who experience eyelid “hooding,” reduced upper lid visibility, or have to lift their brows or forehead to see clearly. Good candidates are typically healthy non-smokers who do not have uncontrolled medical conditions or active eye diseases. Having realistic expectations is key. The goal is to restore and refine—not create a dramatic or unnatural change. Dr. Schwarcz often uses reference photos of you taken 10–15 years ago to guide your surgical plan. The objective is to bring you back to your original structure, not to create an entirely new version of your face. When Might It Not Be Right for You? Not everyone is a good match for surgery right away. Patients with severe dry eye syndrome, certain autoimmune disorders, or active infections may need additional screening or alternate treatment options. If you're currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or undergoing treatment for a systemic illness, it’s best to wait until your health is stable. People with a tendency for poor wound healing or hypertrophic scarring may be advised to take a conservative approach. And if you're expecting to look dramatically different—or hoping to "fix" unrelated facial concerns with an eyelid lift alone—Dr. Schwarcz will help guide you toward the procedures that truly align with your goals. How to Prepare for Upper Blepharoplasty Planning ahead helps ensure a smooth experience and optimal healing. Dr. Schwarcz will provide a customized plan during your consultation, but here’s what to expect. You’ll be asked to stop taking blood thinners, NSAIDs, and certain supplements (like fish oil or vitamin E) two weeks prior to surgery. Smoking should also be discontinued well in advance, as it significantly increases healing complications. Plan for about two weeks of social downtime, though bruising may subside sooner. You’ll need someone to drive you home after surgery and stay with you for the first day. It’s best to schedule surgery at least 2–3 months before any major events to allow for full healing and scar maturation. What to Expect on Surgery Day Your eyelid lift surgery will take place in our state-of-the-art surgical suite on the Upper East Side, which is fully accredited by JCAHO for safety and privacy. On the day of surgery, Dr. Schwarcz will mark your eyelids to confirm the surgical plan, then perform the procedure using local anesthesia with optional sedation. The surgery typically takes about one hour. Incisions are made along the natural upper eyelid crease, allowing access to remove or reposition fat, trim skin, and adjust muscle as needed. Once complete, the incisions are closed with tiny sutures, which will be removed during your post-op visit about five to seven days later. Because the incisions are hidden in the eyelid crease, most patients find that their scars are invisible once healed. What Is Recovery Like? Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, and tightness in the days following surgery. These side effects peak within the first few days and begin to subside by the end of the first week. Cold compresses, rest, and head elevation can all help speed the process. You’ll be able to resume light activities within five to seven days, though you may prefer to wait 10–14 days before returning to work or social events. Makeup can typically be applied after suture removal to help conceal any lingering discoloration. Final results continue to refine over the course of several weeks, and most swelling resolves by the six-week mark. How Long Do Results Last? Results from upper blepharoplasty are long-lasting—typically 10 years or more—depending on your genetics, lifestyle, and skincare habits. The excess skin and fat that’s removed won’t regenerate, though natural aging will continue. Many patients enjoy their results for well over a decade, and some never require a second procedure. The biggest change? You’ll look rested, more awake, and like a more vibrant version of yourself. And if your vision was previously affected by sagging skin, you may also notice significant improvement in how clearly and comfortably you can see. Complementary Procedures Upper blepharoplasty often works best when part of a comprehensive plan. Consider pairing it with: Lower Blepharoplasty Fat Transfer Endoscopic or Temporal Brow Lift Dysport or Botox These combinations can help harmonize the entire upper face, providing a more lifted, cohesive result. Alternative Procedures If you’re not ready for surgery or want to explore non-invasive options first, the following treatments can offer short-term improvement: Dermal Fillers (for upper eyelid hollowing) CO2 Laser Resurfacing AccuTite Skin Tightening These alternatives may be effective for mild concerns but will not achieve the long-lasting or structural improvements that blepharoplasty can provide.

Tighten skin and contour your face with FaceTite in NYC. Dr. Robert Schwarcz offers minimally invasive facial rejuvenation with long-lasting results. FACETITE IN NYC Refine, Tighten, and Rejuvenate—Without a Traditional Facelift As we age, the skin loses elasticity, collagen production slows, and fat begins to shift or accumulate in unwanted areas. The result? Jowls, loose skin along the jawline, and diminished facial definition. While a traditional facelift remains the gold standard for severe laxity, not everyone is ready—or needs—surgery to achieve a younger, more sculpted look. That’s where FaceTite in NYC offers a game-changing solution. FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that harnesses the power of radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to tighten skin, contour the face, and reduce stubborn fat—all in one session. Performed by Dr. Robert Schwarcz, a double board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon with offices on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and in Rye, NY, FaceTite delivers transformative results with less downtime than traditional surgery. It’s the perfect bridge between non-invasive treatments and full surgical correction, offering dramatic tightening and contouring for the right candidate. What Is FaceTite? FaceTite is an advanced facial rejuvenation treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat the underlying tissues of the face, stimulating collagen production, contracting skin, and melting small pockets of fat. Through a small, hidden incision, a tiny cannula delivers heat below the skin’s surface while a sensor on the outside monitors temperature in real time. This dual-layer heating process tightens the skin from the inside out, resulting in a firmer, more youthful appearance. Unlike traditional facelifts, FaceTite doesn’t involve pulling, cutting away large areas of skin, or repositioning muscles. It’s best suited for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who want to firm the jawline, reduce a double chin, or address early jowling—all with a single treatment and minimal disruption to their routine. Because the results build gradually and are long-lasting, FaceTite is often called the “non-surgical facelift.” However, it does require sedation anesthesia and incisions, so while it’s less invasive than a facelift, it’s still a surgical procedure—just one with faster recovery and fewer risks for the right patient. How It Works FaceTite uses a technology called RFAL (radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis) to deliver heat to both the skin and the underlying fat and connective tissues. A thin probe is inserted beneath the skin through a tiny incision, often located just below the chin or behind the ears. As the internal probe delivers thermal energy, a matching electrode on the surface of the skin tracks temperature to ensure safe, consistent results. The heat causes two things to happen simultaneously. First, it melts small pockets of fat, which are then gently suctioned out using a microcannula. Second, and more importantly, it stimulates the contraction of collagen and elastin fibers, initiating a firming process that continues for up to 12 months after treatment. Over time, the skin becomes smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking, all without the appearance of being pulled or overdone. FaceTite allows Dr. Schwarcz to precisely sculpt and define areas like the jawline, lower cheeks, and neck with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues. It’s especially effective for patients who are noticing laxity but aren’t yet ready for a full facelift. Benefits of FaceTite What makes FaceTite such a standout in the world of facial aesthetics is the unique combination of fat reduction and skin tightening—something that many non-invasive treatments cannot achieve simultaneously. It offers the ability to reshape the face and rejuvenate the skin in one session, with results that continue to improve over time. Patients love that FaceTite: Targets multiple concerns in one treatment—sagging, fat accumulation, and laxity Requires only a few small incisions that heal without visible scarring Has minimal downtime compared to a traditional facelift Stimulates collagen for continued skin improvement over the course of a year Offers a more natural look without abrupt changes to your appearance It’s the ideal option for people who want visible improvement but aren’t ready for extensive surgery—or who want to maintain previous surgical results with a lower-impact refresh. Who Is a Good Candidate? FaceTite is best suited for patients in their late 30s to early 60s with mild to moderate skin laxity in the lower face and neck. If you’ve started to notice a soft jawline, early jowls, or heaviness under the chin but still have good skin quality, you may be an excellent candidate. Ideal patients are healthy nonsmokers with realistic expectations. During your consultation, Dr. Schwarcz will evaluate your skin, bone structure, fat distribution, and facial balance to determine whether FaceTite can achieve your desired goals. In cases where laxity is more severe, he may recommend a traditional facelift or neck lift instead. How the Procedure Is Performed FaceTite is performed in Dr. Schwarcz’s private JCAHO-certified surgical suite in Manhattan. The procedure takes approximately 1 to 2 hours, depending on the number of areas treated. Patients receive local anesthesia combined with sedation to ensure comfort and safety throughout the procedure. After a small incision is made (usually hidden beneath the chin or behind the ears), the FaceTite probe is inserted beneath the skin to deliver controlled radiofrequency energy to the treatment area. Simultaneously, any liquefied fat is gently removed with a small cannula, further improving contour. Once the entire area has been treated, the incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures or Steri-Strips, and you’ll be fitted with a compression garment to wear during the initial healing phase. Because the treatment is focused and the thermal energy promotes coagulation of small blood vessels, there is minimal bruising or trauma to the tissue—especially compared to traditional surgical lifting. What to Expect During Recovery The recovery from FaceTite is relatively short and mild compared to a surgical facelift. Most patients experience mild to moderate swelling and possible bruising for the first few days. A compression garment is typically worn for the first 3 to 5 days around the clock, and then at night for the next week or two, depending on Dr. Schwarcz’s guidance. Most people return to work and normal activities within 5 to 7 days. While some initial improvement is visible immediately, the true magic of FaceTite happens gradually. Collagen production continues for 6 to 12 months after treatment, which means your results will subtly improve over time. Patience pays off. The final results are well worth the wait—refined contours, firmer skin, and a smoother, more youthful jawline that still looks like you. How Long Do Results Last? The results of FaceTite can last five years or more, depending on your age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Because the treatment works by stimulating your body’s own collagen, it creates natural changes that continue to support youthful firmness over time. To maintain your results, Dr. Schwarcz may recommend touch-up treatments with Morpheus8 or laser therapy, as well as a consistent skincare routine that includes sun protection and collagen-supportive products.

Whether the marks were caused by injury, surgery, acne, or other trauma, this treatment aims to refine the area’s appearance, reduce irritation, and restore comfort and confidence.

Known for his artistic approach and meticulous attention to detail, he performs scar and keloid revision at his Manhattan office’s private, JCAHO-certified surgical suite. Consultations and follow-ups are also available in Rye, NY, providing accessible care to patients across the region. What Is Scar and Keloid Revision? Scar and keloid revision is a personalized surgical procedure that addresses unwanted or problematic scars. The goal is to make the scar less visible while improving the skin’s overall function and aesthetic. Scars are a natural result of the body’s healing process and may appear raised, sunken, discolored, or tight. Keloids are a specific type of raised scar that grows beyond the boundary of the original wound, often thick, hard, and darker in color due to excessive collagen production. Dr. Schwarcz offers several revision techniques, each customized to the patient’s skin type, scar location, and goals: Excision and Reclosure: The scar is surgically removed, and the area is carefully re-sutured using layered closure techniques for minimal tension and scarring. Z-Plasty or W-Plasty: Geometric closure techniques that reposition scars into natural skin folds to make them less noticeable. Keloid Excision with Adjunctive Therapy: Removal of keloid tissue followed by steroid injections, pressure therapy, or silicone dressings to prevent recurrence. Are You a Candidate for Scar or Keloid Revision? You may be a strong candidate for scar or keloid revision if: You have scars or keloids that affect your appearance, self-esteem, or cause discomfort You’ve experienced tightness, irritation, or restriction of movement due to scarring You’re in good overall health and have no active infections in the area You understand that scar improvement—not total removal—is the goal Ideal candidates are committed to healing properly and following through with any post-surgical or maintenance treatments recommended. When Scar Revision May Not Be Recommended Scar or keloid revision may not be appropriate if you: Have uncontrolled medical conditions such as diabetes or autoimmune disorders Are currently experiencing inflammation, eczema, or infection near the scar Have a history of forming thick keloids or hypertrophic scars after every injury Expect the scar to disappear completely Dr. Schwarcz will thoroughly review your health history and skin type before recommending the best approach. How to Prepare for Scar and Keloid Revision Surgery Although this is a minimally invasive procedure, preparation is key to optimal healing and outcomes. Here’s how to get ready: Schedule Accordingly: Choose a time when you can rest and recover without interruption Medication Management: Avoid aspirin, blood thinners, and supplements like vitamin E at least two weeks prior Quit Smoking: Smoking reduces oxygen supply to tissues and can delay healing Arrange Support: Have a friend or family member escort you on the day of the procedure if sedation is used During your consultation, Dr. Schwarcz will create a customized pre-op plan based on your health and treatment goals. What to Expect During Scar or Keloid Revision Scar and keloid revision is performed in our Upper East Side surgical suite, usually under local anesthesia with or without light sedation. The entire procedure typically takes between 1 to 2 hours depending on the complexity and size of the scar. Before Surgery: Dr. Schwarcz will mark the treatment area, discuss expectations, and confirm your surgical plan During Surgery: The scar or keloid is carefully removed or modified using advanced closure techniques. If treating a keloid, steroid injections or pressure dressings may be applied to reduce recurrence risk After Surgery: You’ll receive full aftercare instructions and may be advised to use silicone sheets or undergo additional treatments like CO2 laser or Morpheus8 to further refine your results Healing and Recovery Timeline Recovery from scar or keloid revision is typically smooth and straightforward. Here’s a general timeline: First Few Days: Mild swelling, redness, or tightness is expected. Use ice packs and take prescribed medications if needed. Keep the area clean and protected. 1–2 Weeks: Sutures (if non-absorbable) are removed in 7–10 days. You may begin using silicone scar sheets or compression garments if advised. 2–3 Months: Scars begin to fade and soften. Complementary treatments such as CO2 laser resurfacing or Morpheus8 microneedling may be scheduled to continue refining the area. Long-Term: With sun protection and skincare maintenance, the results improve over time. Final appearance is typically seen around 6–12 months. Results: What You Can Expect from Scar Revision While no surgical treatment can completely erase a scar, Dr. Schwarcz’s advanced techniques can significantly improve the appearance, size, color, and texture of your scar or keloid. The skin will appear more even, less raised, and better integrated with surrounding tissue. Patients often report increased confidence, comfort, and satisfaction—especially when scars are in visible or sensitive areas. Complementary Treatments to Maximize Your Results To enhance the outcome of your scar or keloid revision, Dr. Schwarcz may recommend one or more of the following: CO2 Laser: Resurfaces the top layer of skin, smooths texture, and improves pigmentation Morpheus8 Microneedling with Radiofrequency: Stimulates collagen, tightens the skin, and helps reduce thick or bumpy scars Steroid Injections: Used to flatten raised scars or keloids and prevent recurrence after surgical excision Silicone Sheets or Gels: Promote hydration and minimize new scar formation Non-Surgical Alternatives for Mild or Early-Stage Scars In some cases, a non-surgical approach may be considered before or after surgery: CO2 Laser Alone: Ideal for superficial scars or minor pigmentation issues Steroid Injections: Often used for keloids or hypertrophic scars that are too small to require surgical excision Topical Therapy: Includes silicone-based gels, retinoids, and other prescription options to improve texture and color over time These options can be effective for early intervention or as maintenance treatments following surgical revision.

Trust Dr. Schwarcz for expert orbital tumor removal in NYC. Safe, effective treatment for tumors around the eye with personalized surgical care. Orbital Tumor Removal in NYC Expert Surgical Care for Orbital Masses Orbital tumor removal is a delicate and highly specialized surgical procedure that involves removing abnormal growths within the eye socket (orbit). These tumors—benign or malignant—can cause symptoms such as eye bulging (proptosis), pain, double vision, or even vision loss. Successful treatment requires expert anatomical knowledge, surgical precision, and aesthetic sensitivity to preserve both eye function and facial appearance. Dr. Robert Schwarcz , a double board certified oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgeon in NYC, is a leading authority on orbital tumor removal. With over 20 years of experience in treating complex orbital conditions, Dr. Schwarcz performs this procedure with the precision of a microsurgeon and the finesse of a facial aesthetics expert, ensuring safe, effective outcomes for every patient. What Is Orbital Tumor Removal? Orbital tumors are abnormal growths found in the tissues surrounding the eye. They may be: Benign tumors , such as dermoid cysts, hemangiomas, or lacrimal gland tumors Malignant tumors , including orbital lymphomas or metastatic lesions Inflammatory or infectious lesions , which may mimic tumors but require different treatment Orbital tumor removal involves a tailored surgical approach based on the tumor’s size, type, and location within the orbit. Depending on these factors, surgery may involve removal of only the tumor or a portion of the surrounding tissue as well. Who’s a Good Candidate? You may be a candidate for orbital tumor removal if: You’ve been diagnosed with an orbital mass after imaging (MRI or CT scan) You’re experiencing bulging of the eye , double vision , eye pressure , or vision changes The tumor is affecting your eye movement, comfort, or appearance A biopsy has confirmed that removal is necessary for diagnostic or treatment purposes Dr. Schwarcz performs a full diagnostic evaluation, often in collaboration with radiologists and pathologists, before recommending surgery. When It Might Not Be Right for You In some cases, orbital tumors do not require immediate surgical removal, especially if: The tumor is small, benign, and stable over time You are medically unfit for surgery The tumor responds better to radiation, chemotherapy , or other non-surgical treatment If surgical removal is not the best option, Dr. Schwarcz will guide you toward alternative treatments and coordinate with specialists for comprehensive care. Preparing for Surgery Before surgery, Dr. Schwarcz will create a personalized plan and walk you through every step: Imaging Studies : CT or MRI scans will determine the exact location, size, and characteristics of the tumor. Medical Clearance : You may need bloodwork and clearance from your primary care physician. Medication Review : Blood thinners, aspirin, and certain supplements should be discontinued 1–2 weeks prior. Logistics : Surgery typically takes place in a hospital setting with access to multidisciplinary care. You’ll receive specific pre-operative instructions to ensure a smooth and safe procedure. What to Expect During Surgery Orbital tumor removal is performed under general anesthesia in a hospital operating room, especially when deep or complex structures are involved. Depending on the tumor’s location, Dr. Schwarcz may access it through: A transconjunctival incision (inside the lower eyelid) A transcutaneous incision hidden within the natural eyelid crease A lateral orbitotomy (through the side of the eye socket) for deep or posterior tumors The goal is to completely remove the tumor while preserving eye movement, vision, and aesthetics. If a biopsy is needed during surgery, frozen section analysis may be performed to guide further treatment. Surgery typically lasts 1 to 3 hours , depending on the complexity. Recovery & Healing Healing from orbital tumor removal varies by case, but most patients experience: First 3–5 Days : Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort around the eye, easily managed with cold compresses and medication. 1–2 Weeks : Bruising subsides. Most sutures are absorbable or removed within 5–7 days. 4–6 Weeks : Eye swelling and vision disturbances (if any) typically resolve. 3 Months+ : Final cosmetic and functional results become visible as the tissues fully heal. You’ll return for several follow-up visits to monitor healing and discuss pathology results if applicable. Results Depending on the tumor type and its impact on your eye and vision, outcomes of orbital tumor removal may include: Resolution of eye bulging (proptosis) Improved vision and/or reduced double vision Restored comfort and appearance of the eye Accurate diagnosis (via biopsy) to guide future treatment if needed Dr. Schwarcz’s meticulous technique ensures minimal scarring and optimized orbital symmetry, even in cases requiring deep dissection or reconstruction. Complementary Treatments Some patients may benefit from additional procedures post-recovery, including: Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) – If eyelid contour or position is altered by the tumor or surgery Strabismus Correction – If eye alignment is affected CO2 Laser or Fillers – To refine skin texture or restore lost facial volume after treatment These treatments are typically staged after initial healing is complete. Alternatives While surgical removal is often the best course for orbital tumors, some patients may benefit from: Steroid therapy or immunosuppressants – For inflammatory pseudotumors Radiation therapy – For orbital lymphomas or metastatic lesions Observation – For small, stable, benign tumors not impacting vision or function Dr. Schwarcz will help you weigh the benefits and risks of surgery versus nonsurgical management.
