Meronk Eyelid Plastic Surgery

• A total focus on the delivery of high-quality eyelid surgery

Our practice was entirely devoted to cosmetic surgery on the adult eyelid. There is no higher level of specialization. We didn't spend our time performing breast augmentation or face lifts, liposuction or injecting temporary fillers. We did eyelid surgery and only eyelid surgery.

• A way of working where outstanding outcomes are common

Advanced procedures don't work if they're not performed skillfully. We knew what to do and exactly how to do it. We didn't need to practice on our patients, and we didn't need to consult a textbook before starting your operation.

• Training that set us apart from most other cosmetic surgeons

Not only is Dr. Meronk a Board-Certified ophthalmologist, but he is also one of less than five hundred surgeons worldwide to have completed a full fellowship devoted entirely to cosmetic and corrective eyelid surgery. Since the eyelids both protect the eyes and nurture the vision, many patients felt more comfortable knowing that their surgeon was not only uniquely trained in the subspecialty of eyelid surgery but was also very knowledgeable about the eyes.

• An uncommon understanding of eyelid structure and function

Having performed over 25,000 cosmetic and corrective procedures on the eyelids allowed Dr. Meronk to amass the knowledge, insight, and judgment necessary to thoroughly appreciate the nuances and subtleties of eyelid function. Be assured that he did and still does understand all about the eyelids, from top to bottom and inside and out.

• At the forefront of treating the most difficult problems in cosmetic eyelid surgery

During his career, Dr. Meronk developed and refined a number of innovative and advanced techniques for addressing eyelid hollowness and Asian revision surgery. Perfected over many years but available only in our office, our patients traveled from around the United States and other countries for help with problems considered untreatable by their local cosmetic surgeons.

• A sense of aesthetics honed by over two decades of experience

We always emphasized that a good result means much more than still being able to close your eyes. Whether a problem was routine or extremely complex, we analyzed every case in detail and did not perform stock operations. We were known for achieving natural-appearing results that stressed elegance over glamour.

• A strong patient education program

We devoted a great deal of effort educating our patients, both before and during their consultations and before and after any surgery. We are still unaware of any eyelid surgeons who now provide a higher level of explanation needed for a patient to make an informed decision.

• A collaborative effort

We are proud of our staff of uniquely skilled individuals, people who were not only intelligent and observant but courteous and helpful.

• A pleasant environment

Our office was less like a clinic and more like a boutique. We catered to one patient at a time in a relaxed setting where our patientsl never encounter a crowded waiting room. While they were with us, our attention was devoted entirely to them rather than to them and a dozen other patients seeking wrinkle treatments. Our consultations were detailed, highly individualized, unhurried, and honest.

• No pressure to do more

While we competed on the basis of quality rather than price, we controled costs by avoiding unnecessary complexity and not trying to "sell" our patients on added procedures they didn't want or need.

• No surprise surgicenter or hospital add-on charges

Our office operating room was designed for cosmetic eyelid surgery alone and thus avoided the high-overhead of multispecialty surgicenters or full-service hospitals. Pricing was all upfront with no hidden add-on charges such as separate bills for anesthesia, supplies, medications, and so on.

• We used only the best

From surgical supplies to surgical techniques, we didn't cut corners.

• Our aim was to please

Once we helped our patients, we usually never saw them again. So where did our new patients come from? From throughout California but commonly from other states and sometimes other countries. Why did they come to us when they could have more conveniently gone elsewhere? Because of our reputation with other doctors and former patients for treating our clientele with respect and providing thoughtful high-quality care.
