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! 💫

Highlights included:

🧠 Moderating a full-house session on thyroid eye disease
🫀 Speaking on orbital vascular malformations at subspecialty day
💡 Leading a Hot Topics panel on lasers in oculoplastics

🔊 Hearing the incredible share some great life lessons & ofc lots of laughs
🎢 And exploring some of Epcot with the awesome crew!

But the best part? My parents drove down to stay the weekend with me — and I had my first-ever solo dinner date with them. ❤️

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!

Our eyes say so much about us! 💛 Pictured is my beautiful patient who was tired of looking & feeling tired. She is pictured 2 months after her upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty with ptosis repair and is so happy with her rejuvenated, yet natural appearance and happy patient = happy doctor 💫

Upper lid blepharoplasty is my 🥖 and 🧈 surgery, but also one of my favorites to perform because of the trifecta result of seeing better, looking better & feeling better. Pictured is my beautiful patient 4 weeks postop already thrilled with her gorgeous yet natural transformation! Upper lid blepharoplasty fun facts:

⏰ 30 minutes in office
💉 Awake surgery with local anesthesia
✂️ Incision hides in natural lid crease
🛏️ 1 week recovery w/o strenuous exercise
🧊 Cold compresses first 2 days to help swelling
🌟 Goal of brighter vision & eyes

Pictured is my lovely patient before & after upper & lower blepharoplasty. Her main complaint was being tired of looking & feeling tired. She’s pictured two months postop and is already thrilled with her natural transformation. The goal is always to look like a more refreshed version of yourself! 💫

I had a fantastic time at the Spring Scientific Meeting this past weekend! I presented our research on the development of a new and exciting app for the diagnosis of and enjoyed my first time visiting beautiful Napa! Aside from all the learning, the best part of the meetings is always seeing so many wonderful colleagues & friends! 💛

Part of the fun of being in medicine is still seeing new things after 10 years of practice! This is a case of my patient who presented with what was presumed to be acute cellulitis (infection) with few days of swelling, redness and pain. Imaging was performed with concern for orbital abscess, but when patient was taken for surgery, an actual mass was discovered ( ⚠️ swipe to see intraoperative photo) Biopsy result came back as pleomorphic adenoma with acute necrosis - very uncommon presentation of a common lacrimal gland tumor and was published in Orbit 📰 (thanks to the hard work of our medical student !) This type of tumor is benign, and patient did great after removal (pictured 1 week postop)! Love a job that keeps you learning & seeing new things! 💫
