What is an oculoplastic surgeon?
In the past ten years the art of plastic surgery has undergone dramatic changes. With advancements in medical knowledge and surgical techniques we have seen an emergence of sub-specialization. The anatomy around the eyes and orbit is both delicate and complex. An oculoplastic surgeon has training in both Ophthalmology and Plastic Reconstructive Surgery. The specialty of oculoplastics is an art that combines the meticulous detailed microsurgical techniques of ophthalmology with the aesthetic understanding of plastic surgery.

RHINOPLASTY: Dr. Lam discusses the art and science of rhinoplasty with an emphasis on understanding facial harmony. Dr. Lam is uniquely qualified to enhance your nose. He has written extensively in his two textbooks and in numerous scientific articles about his method of both cosmetic and functional (improving nasal airway) nose surgery. Dr. Lam also performs complicated, revision cosmetic nose surgeries in those individuals with an unsatisfactory prior result. He has knowledge and experience with the full gamut of nasal surgery, including repair of traumatic nasal injury, reconstruction of the nose after significant tissue loss from cancer, skin resurfacing of the nose, and complicated repair of the nasal airway. He has intimate knowledge of both the inside and outside of the nose, and every consultation involves a detailed examination of the nasal airway passages and the external anatomy of the nose. As the nose is first and foremost a respiratory organ, Dr. Lam’s objective in every surgical endeavor is to either preserve or enhance breathing besides simply cosmetic enhancement of the nose.

Dr. Lam is board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. He has authored three major facial plastic surgery textbooks, including Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation: A Practical and Systematic Guide to the Aging Face, Cosmetic Surgery of the Asian Face, and the recently published Complementary Fat Grafting. Dr. Lam has also published over 100 book chapters and scientific articles on the subject of facial plastic surgery and lectures nationally almost on a monthly basis on facial plastic surgery.

Dr. Kami Parsa an oculoplastic reconstructive surgeon talks to ABC news about a large reconstructive procedure that was featured on the Discovery Health Channel.

16-year-old Marlie Casseus has undergone four surgeries to remove an 16-pound tumor that covered almost her entire face and hampered her breathing. The entire process was chronicled on the Discovery Health Channel’s A New Face for Marlie.

Marlie suffers from McCune-Albright syndrome (polyostotic fibrous dysplasia), a genetic disorder of bones, skin pigmentation and hormonal problems, along with premature puberty. The growth completely disfigured her facial features, causing her to become reclusive to avoid scorn and repulsion in her native country of Haiti. Most people there believed Marlie’s disfigurement was the work of the devil.

With most of her mouth and nasal passages blocked, Marlie was only able to eat and breathe through one very narrow passage. The tumor began to close on her throat and made breathing difficult. It would have also eventually caused blindness.

All four surgeries were performed at the Holtz Children’s Hospital, at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center in Florida, and documented for the television program.

The International Kids Fund partnered with Good Samaritan for a Better Life to fund Marlie’s surgeries, which began when she arrived in Miami with a tracheotomy to insert a breathing tube.

After her surgeries, doctors indicated that Marlie might required further cosmetic surgeries at a later date, but said the growth would not return.

The first words Marlie uttered when the tracheotomy was removed were “thank you.”

“I have always believed that one of the most important things you can do with this life is serve others. This is the true passion that continues to drive me professionally and personally, and I feel so fortunate that I can work and make a difference as a surgeon. There are too many areas of the world and in our own country that do not have access to adequate medical care. My initial involvement was with International Kids Foundation at University of Miami. Through this organization I met exemplary people who have dedicated themselves to a lifetime of service and charity. It has been a humbling experience to work with such incredible people. These encounters have been instrumental in my growth as a physician and person. When I moved back to California, I helped to establish the Universal Children’s Fund. Our mission is to make people’s lives a little better in situations that otherwise may not seem possible. Children especially need sustainable hope, and our goal is to provide them with necessary medical and surgical care, helping them to grow into a brighter future.”
