Built for Beauty and Function

Dr. Coombs takes a holistic approach to facial rejuvenation. She doesn't separate form from function—she integrates them. Whether restoring the eye after cancer or providing subtle cosmetic enhancement, her work balances technical precision with natural-looking outcomes that last.

Trusted for Revisions and Complex Cases

Dr. Coombs is often the second—or final—surgeon patients turn to when a prior procedure hasn’t gone as planned. Her reputation for creative, high-stakes problem-solving makes her a sought-after expert for:

  • Revisions following unsatisfactory or overcorrected cosmetic eyelid surgery
  • Post-cancer reconstruction involving the eyelids or orbit
  • Complications from trauma or incomplete reconstruction
  • Challenging orbital conditions that require both technical skill and judgment

Under her leadership, the division bridges boutique-level service with academic-grade excellence.
