Dr. Melanie Erb, MD

Amazing doctor! Amazing results! Could not be happier!

Dr. Erb is a wonderful surgeon and I feel very fortunate to have chosen her. All my questions and concerns were fully explained. I knew what to expect during the entire process. She and her entire staff are so enthusiastic! I give her the highest recommendation- you will not be sorry.

I had an upper blepharoplasty done by Dr. 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. I originally chose Dr. Erb because her before / after results were the best I’ve seen. And after meeting with her via Zoom, I knew I’d found my Oculoplastic surgeon. She was extremely thorough during the interview, answering questions I’ve not even asked yet, and knew what I was going for. She went through the procedure with a fine-toothed comb, ensuring that I understood fully what to expect. Every question was answered, absolutely NOTHING was rushed. I felt extremely comfortable knowing I was in good hands. And Dr. Erb was so personable; I felt like I was the only patient in the world! On the day of surgery, I met with her staff, who were very accommodating, friendly and comforting (Gina is a riot!). They made me feel at ease before… and after the surgery. Dr. Erb gave me some medication to induce sleep, and before I knew it, I was out. The procedure itself was pain-free. I was pretty groggy after surgery, and I can’t remember too much. My healing from Day 0 was uneventful: no problems and no complications, just normal bruising and swelling, typical for someone my age. I’m pretty much a slow healer; I iced for the first week and a half to two weeks until I returned to Irvine for suture removal. The stitches were removed without a hitch (and felt amazing!), and now let the true healing begin! I’m now at one month+, and the results are incredible. The results look EXACTLY like my projected photos. I have zero complaints! I understand its only been a month, and my lids will continue to heal and de-swell. But if these results are any indication of what the final results will be, man oh man, I will re-name my first-born “Melanie”! Dr. Erb is extremely skilled in what she does, and she has great bedside manners. She truly listens to your wants and needs, and will do her best to keep you happy. Choosing Dr. Erb was a life-changing decision —- I can’t recommend her enough!! I was always self-conscious of my eyes, and now I’ve never been happier. My only regret is that I wish I’ve gotten this done in my younger years. That, and I wish I had more eyes so she can do those, too! Michelangelo, Shakespeare, Einstein, Dr. Erb — wow!

After several consultations with plastic and ocular plastic surgeons I selected Dr. Erb. She was attentive and accessible throughout the entire process and the results were better than anticipated. She is a skilled clinician and I highly recommend her for ocular plastic surgery.

I recently had eyelid surgery with Dr. Erb and I could not be happier with my decision. The scheduling process was efficient, and the procedure itself, was surprisingly pain-free. Remarkably, Throughout the entire process, Dr. Erb and her staff ensured I felt supported and cared for. From pre-operative preparations to post-operative check-ins, their dedication to my well-being was unwavering. Her unparalleled dedication, precision, and attention to detail have not only improved my quality of life but have also left me profoundly grateful to her and her team for their exceptional service. Dr. Erb herself was a pleasure to interact with, always patient and attentive, with a genuine passion for her work evident in every conversation. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Erb to anyone considering an eyelid or cosmetic procedure.

I had upper and lower blepharoplasty surgery done by Dr. Erb. I found her to be attentive to what my concerns were. Dr. Erb then made recommendations as to my treatment, was very thorough in her explanation, and very accessible throughout the whole process. I am very pleased with the care I received from Dr. Erb and would highly recommend her.

Dr. Erb does magical work. I had eyelid surgery (upper) and I think I look 10 years younger already. The procedure when exactly as Dr. Erb explained. It’s been only 35 days since the surgery and I have gotten so many compliments and friends have asked for her information. Best of all is that nobody asks me anymore if I am “tired!” Thank you Dr. Erb and the outstanding team.

Dr. Erb was excellent in her delicate surgery on my eyelid without any pain. Her after surgery treatments were also meticulous. She is very pleasant and kind. She really takes care of her patient. Her office is nice and clean and her staffs are all suave and pleasant. I thank you and all your staff !!!

Dr. Erb is an absolute dream come true. I searched for a long time for the best Oculoplastic Surgeon in my area. When I listened to her video and found that she is one of six Oculoplastic Surgeons in the world and looked at her before and after photos. I had to meet her. During my 1st consult, I was a nervous wreck but Dr. Erb was very comforting, gentle and explained everything that she wanted to achieve, in what I was wanting to have done. She made me feel very comfortable. I had the Brow Left, and upper and lower Blepharoplasty, eyelid surgeries. I feel and look amazing, younger and not afraid to look in the mirror. Dr. Erb and her assistant Gina are the Best. Best decision I’ve ever made!

Dr. Erb was highly recommended by some colleagues that had the same procedure that I did. They both had beautiful results and I felt confident with my decision to have my procedure with her. Her gentle touch and honest assessment was very appreciated and her follow up from her and her staff was excellent. Thank you Dr. Erb!!!
