Larissa Habib, MD, at Northeast Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, in Fairfield, Connecticut, is a board-certified Oculofacial surgeon, specializing in the form, function, health, and the beauty of eyes. Why choose an Oculofacial Surgeon? Your eyes not only give you sight, but are also what scholars have long acknowledged to be a focal point of your facial features. They are the first thing people will notice about you, and as multiple studies show, significantly influence first impressions. Your eyes and the structures around them form a complex yet delicate ecosystem, going beyond the scope of general plastic surgery. Dr. Habib completed her Ophthalmology residency at Columbia University. She went on to complete an Ocular Oncology fellowship at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

She is also one of the first doctors to offer a groundbreaking - treatment for thyroid eye disease (TED), TEPEZZA®. Dr. Habib serves as teacher and mentor at Yale School of Medicine for physicians completing their Ophthalmology residency, and was awarded Yale School of Medicine's Best Surgical Teacher. Logging thousands of hours in the operating room, she strives to advance her surgical techniques and perfect her craft. She has over thirty peer reviewed publications, and is continuously invited as a speaker and instructor to local, national, and international medical conferences. In a rapidly evolving field, Dr. Habib prioritizes remaining current, and prides herself as an ongoing learner. She often engages with the latest studies and treatments for a wide range of eye disorders and cosmetic renewals. Regardless of the severity of the condition, Dr. Habib approaches all her visits with the same professionalism, and priority. She not only cares for you as a patient, but also sees you as a person.
