Experienced in Orbital Cellulitis

Overview

I firmly believe in listening to my patients and ensuring that all their concerns and questions are addressed. I want my patients to feel comfortable and at ease during their visits. My clinical interests include medical and surgical management of many eyelid disorders such as “droopy eyelids,” eyelids that are turned in or out, and uncontrollable eyelid movements, such as twitching and facial spasms. I also manage eyelid and eyebrow reconstruction following tumor removal surgery or injuries. I offer cosmetic brow lifts, upper and lower eyelid lift surgery, medical and surgical management of thyroid eye disease, and blocked tear duct treatment. I also provide pediatric eyelid and eyebrow care for issues, such as dermoid cysts, congenital eyelid abnormalities, and disorders present at birth that affect the structure, function, or appearance of the eyelids. In my free time, I love to watch movies, cook, eat at local restaurants, work out, play tennis and pickleball, and spend time with my wife and my family.

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