Laser Cosmetic and Oculoplastic Surgery

Dr. Melanie Ho Erb is a leading expert in Orange County and Los Angeles in eyelid surgery, fillers, botulinum toxins, and lasers. She is a double boardcertified eyelid expert in Oculoplastic Surgery and Ophthalmology. She has performed thousands of successful surgeries, injections, and laser treatments over the course of her career.

Dr. Erb exemplifies “A Surgeon’s Hands, A Woman’s Touch” with her approachability, honesty, gentle touch, and warm bedside manner. As a female surgeon, Dr. Erb understands the desires of female patients. As an Asian surgeon, Dr. Erb creates a natural-looking double eyelid. Many men visit Dr. Erb to continue to look masculine and youthful. Dr. Erb will reveal your inner vitality to the outside world. “I really strive to understand my patient’s goals,” she says. “I explain all of the possible options, and together we pick what works best for them.” Dr. Erb provides a natural, refreshed look by using a combination of surgery, injectables, and/or lasers, guided by her gentle touch, artistic eye, and perfectionism. Dr. Erb performs all of the lasers, injections, and surgeries herself. Most surgeries are done in her office procedure room with relaxing pills, lots of numbing cream, numbing eyedrops, and numbing injections – many patients fall asleep and later are astonished with how comfortable and relaxing the whole process was! “When patients are absolutely thrilled after their surgery or injectable, some cry tears of joy, others say that I have given them back their confidence back, and others say that I have truly changed their life. The patients’ joy is what I find most rewarding.”
