🍎 Attending 3 international conferences, connecting and learning from colleagues around the world
📝 Continuing to publish research papers
✈️ Making memories with family travels across the globe
🤹‍♀️ Being present for school pickup & activities most days for my 3 amazing children

Feeling grateful for health, growth, community, and the people who made this year so meaningful. 🙏🏽
Here’s to a 2026 filled with more laughter, adventures, learning, love & of course eyelids! ❤️

Pictured is my patient who presented with a right lower eyelid lesion, which was biopsied as basal cell carcinoma. Following Mohs excision, reconstruction was performed using adjacent tissue. We are both thrilled with her excellent outcome - a functional, cancer free eyelid 💫

Basal cell cell carcinoma of the eyelid ✨

✔️ Most common eyelid malignancy
✔️ Slow-growing but locally destructive if left untreated
✔️ Best outcomes with early intervention

📍If you notice a non-healing eyelid lesion, lash loss, or a pearly growth on the eyelid, it’s important seek evaluation with an eyelid specialist!

Picture is my beautiful patient before and after upper and lower lid blepharoplasty. This transformative surgery rejuvenates all four eyelids by removing excess skin and fat for a refreshed, naturally restored look.
Results often include brighter, more open eyes and a smoother under-eye contour—without altering the natural appearance. She and I are both thrilled with her transformation 💫 Happy patient = happy doctor! 💛

Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving! Today (and everyday 🙃) I’m grateful for the trust of my patients, the unwavering support of my husband, the joy of good friends & the best kind of love from my children 💫 . Gratitude is always the best attitude, which is why Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays! 🙏🏽 🧡🦃 🍁

Pictured is my lovely patient who presented with right lower lid growth which she believed was a stye but was biopsied as basal cell carcinoma of the eyelid, the most common type of eyelid skin cancer. After the tumor was carefully removed by my Mohs dermatology colleague (swipe ➡️) the eyelid was meticulously reconstructed to restore both function and natural appearance. 💫

📸 Before: Basal cell cancer along the right lower lid
📸 Post-Mohs (defect): The area after complete cancer removal, showing the true size of what needed to be reconstructed.
📸 After Reconstruction: A beautifully healed eyelid with function, comfort, and confidence restored. ✨

Always grateful for the trust of my patients & find it so rewarding to be part of their care and healing journey. 💛

Thyroid eye disease is a complex, heterogenous disease that can change more than appearance — it can affect eye comfort, vision, and confidence. After undergoing left orbital decompression and eyelid retraction surgery for these symptoms, my patient is thrilled to have improved comfort and balance. Grateful to help my patients both see and feel their best! 💫

Work hard, play hard! ✨
Grateful for an amazing week that started in Prague at , learning from inspiring international colleagues 💫. From there, I spent a few magical days in Austria with my better half who flew across the pond to meet me 💕, and then had a quick stop in London where I shared my experience treating thyroid eye disease in the U.S. and gave a lecture on blepharoplasty with plastic surgery colleagues .

A whirlwind of learning, travel, and connection - I’m so grateful for all of it! But most of all I’m so excited to get back to my babies and the work I love most 🩷👩🏻‍⚕️🌍✈️

✨ Transformation Tuesday ✨

Thyroid eye disease (TED) can cause proptosis (eye bulging) and eyelid retraction, leading not only to cosmetic changes but also to discomfort, dryness, and even vision-threatening complications & a stepwise surgical approach is one of the options we can use to treat TED.

👁 Before: My patient can be seen to have R eye bulging and upper lid retraction from her TED.
🔨 Step 1 – Orbital Decompression: Surgery to create more space in the orbit by removing bone & fat, allowing the eyes to sit back in a more natural position.
🔧 Step 2 – Eyelid Surgery: Correction of upper lid retraction to restore symmetry, comfort, and a softer appearance.

🌟 After: The result is natural version of herself, with improved patient comfort, and confidence 💛

Treating TED is one of the most rewarding aspects of oculoplastic surgery—helping patients not only look better but feel better, too.

One of the most rewarding parts of my work is helping patients regain both comfort and confidence. ✨

This lovely patient developed facial nerve palsy, leaving her unable to fully close her eye. Beyond the cosmetic concerns, this caused dryness, irritation, and redness.

She underwent an upper eyelid platinum weight placement (swipe ➡️ to see the weight) along with lower eyelid tightening to restore her eyelid closure.

Here she is just 1 month after surgery—already so much more comfortable and thrilled with the improvement! 💫

Pictured is my patient who came in complaining that his eyes didn’t match how he felt or his energy level. Tired of having tired eyes, he underwent upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty. He is shown 2 months out from surgery (still in healing phase), but is already thrilled with his refreshed, natural eyes that match how he feels 💥. Our eyes say so much about our energy level!
