While not all orbital tumors are a significant health risk, it is still important to treat them as soon as you detect them. Otherwise, they may continue to grow and pose a greater risk in the future. This is why Chicago Oculofacial Consultants is proud to offer our patients the option for dependable orbital tumor surgery in Chicago.
Orbital tumor surgery is a procedure performed to remove orbital tumors, which are abnormal growths that occur in the orbital cavity. Orbital tumors can be malignant (cancerous) or benign (non-cancerous). This type of surgery involves identifying and removing these orbital tumors safely and efficiently with minimal damage to surrounding tissue. In many cases, this can be the best solution to getting rid of a tumor and protecting the health of your eye area (and your overall health as well).

After orbital tumor surgery, patients typically take part in a recovery period to ensure proper healing of the treated area. This will involve follow-up appointments with our eye surgeon and may include orbital imaging if necessary. During your recovery period, we’ll monitor your orbital health closely in order to make sure that you are healing properly and that your tumor is gone for good. Most patients can expect to take a week or two off from regular activities to recover, but this largely depends on your individual procedure. For surgeries that remove more progressed tumors, there may be a more extended recovery period.
At Chicago Oculofacial Consultants, orbital tumor surgery can provide many patients with improved orbital health and vision. This procedure is also used to decrease the risk of orbital cancer from spreading to adjacent areas of the body. In some cases, orbital tumor surgery may even improve facial symmetry or correct an orbital deformity. Patients can expect to see some immediate results once the swelling subsides, as we fully remove the tumor during the procedure. However, it is important to remember that it can take time for swelling to go away entirely, after which you will see your results settle.
