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 a “redo”. Prior I had found a Doctor that did perform it looked okay for a couple of months but by third month it failed, she then re did it within the first 6 months looked like it was going to work but failed again. Very disappointing on top of it was left with a fold over scar.
I was going to just accept it as it is and try not to think about it anymore. But after a year and two and so forth it just kept bothering me.
I search again and was turned down until I found Dr. Melanie :)
Dr. Melanie explained everything thoroughly and all the bad and positive possibilities, super knowledgable and I seriously thought she was going to turn me down too but…..she said it can be done! :) :) :) We made the decision to do one eye at a time although I did have the option to do both at the same time but from my history we thought this was the way for best results. Since congenital ptosis is extremely tricky I wanted to guarantee the best results.
Immediately after my right eye ptosis surgery was performed I can completely tell the difference even with the swelling. I was ecstatic! I just looked and felt so refreshed and took years off my face! It's amazing how literally a slight drop that doesn't match your other eye can make a huge difference in your face and confidence.
I am around almost 3 months post and will be having surgery on my left eye probably in the next few weeks just waiting for all to balance out, then I will post another update.
Currently, my right profile is my favorite side :) funny to say since my whole life it was my left.
I have full confidence in the Doctor that my other eye will just be as perfect.
I Highly recommend Dr. Melanie for congenital Ptosis, it is an extremely difficult procedure. Those who have my issue know exactly what I’m referring too, it may not be a big deal to others but to yourself looking in the mirror it just bugs!
Save yourself time and consultations fees! And visit Dr. Melanie Ho Erb you will not regret it! She’s amazing, talented and just lovely, thank you Dr. Melanie!
