Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Einstein, Dr. Melanie Ho Erb — Wow!
I had an upper blepharoplasty done by Dr. Melanie Ho Erb early in March 2026. I’m an Asian male, mid-fifties. I asked for really high and deep creases, and to remove some fat. I’ve shown her a few highly edited photos of myself with my desired results. Her staff was very accommodating, friendly and comforting (Gina is a riot!). They made me feel at ease before and after the surgery. Dr. Erb is extremely skilled in what she does, and she has great bedside manners. She truly

A Stellar Surgeon
After searching over the course of a year and consulting with at least two other surgeons, I chose Dr. Melanie Ho Erb. Dr. Erb's work is stellar. In June of 2025 I underwent an upper and lower blepharoplasty as well as a brow-lift. Now, about eight months later, I could not be happier with the results. My results are truly a major refresh. Dr. Erb's process is very focussed and steady, she will give 100% of her attention from start to finish. I had a few follow-up visits over

Genetic Eye Bags Corrected
Dr. Erb is the most skilled and honest doctor I could have hoped for. I had a lower blepharoplasty and her staff were helpful and communicative before and after the procedure. I was excited and relaxed rather than anxious because she prepared me every step of the way. I am extremely happy with the results from my surgery 6 weeks ago and look forward to working with her further through some injectables to refine my cheeks once swelling is completely gone. I am in my early 30s and

Dr Erb is THE BEST!!!
Just had my upper bleph with Dr Erb in April. From the moment I met Dr Erb, I knew she was the one. I didn't even bother considering other surgeons. The whole experience was amazing, Dr Erb really understood what my goals were. My main concerns were just tired looking eyes, and my results came out so natural but also made a huge difference! Dr Erb, Gina, and Anika were so awesome throughout the whole process. They were always there, provided super clear instructions and care,

Eyelid surgery journey - well worth the surgery! I had hooded lids
Just wanted to post this journey im on as I was on the other end reading everyone’s experiences with eyelid surgery which was very helpful to me. I decided to get the procedure due to hereditary hooding. My recovery was slow as I did get major swelling (but no bruising). I took 2 weeks off work which was necessary in my case. Attached are photos from Day 1 til now(6 weeks post op) and so far so good. I still have residual swelling on my lids but not too bad. Waiting patiently

Excellent surgeon - absolutely thrilled with my results
Dr. Erb is an artist with a medical degree! I selected Dr. Erb after consulting with two other doctors and I am so thankful I did. Dr. Erb is a true perfectionist in every possible way. I knew this the moment I completed her thorough intake questionnaire. Each and every question is thoughtful and deliberate, and she actually reads all of the answers and provides personalized care based upon the patient’s unique needs. I am a member of a blepharoplasty Facebook group and I constantly

I look and feel so refreshed - it took years off my face
Extremely happy with my results. Dr. Melanie Ho Erb is an extremely talented Surgeon! Wow! A brief background on my eyes. I have congenital ptosis on my right eye (or had?) and acquired ptosis on my left. I have consulted with many top surgeons in different areas in regards to my eyes and was turned down quite a bit as “they stated my eye is too difficult” Since, “it appeared “ I had slight ptosis. Doctors did not want to take the risk, I found it even harder to find someone for

Made my eyelid lift & under-eye procedure turn out exactly as I wanted
Dr. Erb is an amazing surgeon who has a passion for helping her patients. She has THE best technical ability with those magical hands! She was able to make my eyelid lift and under eye procedure turn out exactly as I wanted it. Her assistant Gina, who has been with her for 15 years, is a real expert in helping her patients. She made sure I had everything I needed and even follow up with a phone call to be sure! Dr. Erb is highly skilled and an obvious perfectionist. I was
