      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. Dr. Wanja is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Eyelid Drooping. Her top areas of expertise are Chalazion, Eyelid Bump, Meibomianitis, and Ptosis.

      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 Eyelid Drooping. His top areas of expertise are Blocked Tear Duct, Entropion, Orbital Cellulitis, and Ptosis.

      What is the definition of Eyelid Drooping?

      Eyelid drooping is excess sagging of the upper eyelid. The edge of the upper eyelid may be lower than it should be (ptosis) or there may be excess baggy skin in the upper eyelid (dermatochalasis). Eyelid drooping is often a combination of both conditions.

      The problem is also called ptosis.

      When should I see an Eyelid Drooping doctor near Durham, NC?

      There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

      • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
      • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
      • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
      • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
      • You want a second opinion.  

      What should I consider when choosing an Eyelid Drooping doctor near Durham, NC?

      It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

      How does MediFind rank Eyelid Drooping doctors near Durham, NC?

      MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

      What types of insurance are accepted by Eyelid Drooping doctors near Durham, NC?

      Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

      How can I book an appointment online with an Eyelid Drooping doctor near Durham, NC?

      MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Eyelid Drooping doctor search results page. 

      Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Eyelid Drooping doctor?

      Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

      How can I prepare for my appointment with an Eyelid Drooping doctor near Durham, NC?

      Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

      • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
      • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
      • Family history of disease 
      • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
      • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
      • List of questions and concerns 
      • Your insurance card 

      You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

      What questions should I ask my Eyelid Drooping doctor?

      Here are some sample questions: 

      • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
      • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
      • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
      • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
      • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

      How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Eyelid Drooping doctor may know about?

      MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

      MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

      Can I filter my search to show male or female Eyelid Drooping doctors near Durham, NC?

      Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Eyelid Drooping doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

      Can I filter my search to find an Eyelid Drooping doctor that offers video calls?

      Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Eyelid Drooping doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
