Summary
- Dr. Melanie Ho Erb is a leading expert in Orange County and Los Angeles in non-invasive botox, fillers, lasers, and advanced plastic surgery to the delicate eyelids and face. She is one of very few surgeons double certified as an Oculoplastic Surgeon and an Ophthalmologist. She has performed thousands of oculoplastic procedures, injections, and laser treatments over the course of her career.
