Dr. Amy M. Fowler

As the chief of oculofacial surgery at Duke, I specialize in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the eyelids and orbit as well as the cosmetic laser surgery of the skin. I have published extensively on my work with cosmetic lasers, injectable fillers, neuromodulators, and benign essential blepharospasm in peer-reviewed journals and several textbooks. I speak frequently at both national and international meetings. I also serve on the editorial board of two aesthetic journals and was the first female oculofacial surgeon to be featured on the cover of the Plastic Surgery Practice Magazine. I am also a passionate artist and work with a variety of mediums. I believe that my work as a cosmetic surgeon is an extension of my great love of art.

As an oculoplastic surgeon, I am an ophthalmologist trained specifically in the management of eyelid, eye socket and tear duct disease. This includes droopy eyelids, lumps and bumps around the eyelids, skin cancers, and orbital tumors, among other conditions. Oculoplastic surgeons bring a unique perspective to eyelid and orbital surgery, as we are trained first as eye experts before specializing in the area around the eyes. Although oculoplastics is a surgical field, I prioritize the desires and symptoms of each of my patients, and strongly consider the risk to benefit ratio of a potential surgery. I am not in a rush to operate without a compelling reason. I moved to Durham from the northeast and have thoroughly enjoyed living here. I enjoy playing tennis, eating at local restaurants, and exploring the mountains of western Carolina with my family. Dr. Liss is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Benign Essential Blepharospasm. His top areas of expertise are Blocked Tear Duct, Entropion, Orbital Cellulitis, and Ptosis.

I specialize in treating patients with drooping eyelids, under-eye bags, and various eyelid concerns, including the removal of lumps, bumps, and even cancerous lesions around the eyes. My work also includes reconstructive procedures and addressing issues with the eye’s tear drainage system. Beyond medical care, I believe everyone deserves to look and feel like their best self. That’s why I offer cosmetic procedures such as upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty (for under-eye bags) and eyebrow lifts. Outside of work, I love diving into new languages, getting creative with mini art projects around the house, and challenging myself with baking recipes inspired by The Great British Bake Off.
