At Mehta Facial Plastics, tear duct obstruction is evaluated to determine the cause and level of blockage within the tear drainage system. Dr. Mehta recommends the most appropriate approach based on your findings, which may include stent placement to support patency during healing. Care is tailored to restore functional tear drainage and reduce recurrence.
Before beginning the procedure, anesthesia is selected based on your needs and the specific treatment plan. Tear duct stent placement may be performed under local anesthesia, and in some cases sedation or general anesthesia may be recommended. The surgical area is carefully cleansed and prepared, and Dr. Mehta reviews the plan with you before starting.
Stent placement can help restore tear drainage and reduce symptoms related to obstruction, such as excessive tearing and recurrent irritation or infection. By supporting tear outflow during healing, the procedure may lower the likelihood of recurrent blockage and the need for additional intervention.
Mehta Facial Plastics provides specialized evaluation and treatment for tear duct obstruction, with careful attention to both function and patient comfort. Dr. Mehta has advanced training in oculofacial surgery and uses precise, conservative techniques to address tear drainage issues while minimizing disruption to surrounding structures. Each treatment plan is individualized based on the location and severity of the obstruction, ensuring appropriate use of stent placement when indicated. Patients benefit from thorough preoperative assessment, clear postoperative guidance, and close follow-up to support proper healing and long-term tear duct patency.
