AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Eyelid Enhancement

As an experienced oculofacial plastic surgeon, I specialize in eyelid surgery and minimally invasive eyelid rejuvenation. My goal is always to help patients look their best without appearing overdone or operated on. At my practices in Boston and Wellesley, I perform hundreds of eyelid surgeries each year, including upper blepharoplasty (an upper eyelid lift). The surgery involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper eyelids, which opens the eyes and allows patients to look younger and more lively. I can also surgically treat ptosis, a condition that causes droopy eyelids, and eyelid retraction, where the upper eyelid is too high. Sometimes patients choose to simultaneously undergo lower blepharoplasty, which helps to treat puffiness, bags, and dark circles under the eyes through the careful removal of excess fat and, in some cases, the tightening of the skin with a laser.

Fillers and Other Injectables

I am passionate about the benefits of injectables as a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatment for my patients. Surgery isn’t always required to reach your aesthetic goals. For example, filler injections on or just below the lower eyelids can help reduce the appearance of mild under-eye circles and eye bags, with no downtime and subtle, natural-looking results. This procedure is often referred to as nonsurgical blepharoplasty. Often, patients who seek dermal fillers under their eyes find that they can also benefit from rejuvenation in the midface to help create a balanced look and a healthier, more youthful appearance. At my practices in Boston and Wellesley, I use facial fillers such as Restylane and Juvéderm to restore volume, soften facial contours, as well as neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport to relax wrinkles. These injectables can be combined for a “liquid facelift.”

Look No Further!

My undereye bags have bothered me for years. People would tell me DAILY how tired I look. I got used to sarcastically saying "Thanks! That's what I was going for" so they would realize how rude it was. I started doing research on Boston-area plastic surgeon lower blepharoplasty results and reviews. I came upon this profile. Him being an oculoplastic surgeon stood out. Not only were his before and after pictures amazing. The fact that he specializes in eyes and isn't hopping from face to boobs to butts was reassuring. I knew this was the expert to go to. This being my first plastic surgery, I was mildly nervous going into the consult. But that started to dissipate as soon as I walked in the door. The ladies at reception were very friendly and made me feel comfortable immediately. Dr. Kapadia assessed me and made a game plan for a bilateral lower blepharoplasty. I then sat down with Jessica, the office manager. She laid out pricing and the logistics of the procedure day. I was already positive going in about moving forward with surgery. But at no point did I feel pressured to make a decision. At my consult in Feb, I paid the $500 deposit needed to book a surgery date. As in demand as Dr. Kapadia is, his next available surgery slot wasn't until June. I snapped it right up. The remaining $6000 was due 4 weeks before the procedure. The surgery day was seamless. I was taken downstairs to the in-office surgical suite (so convenient not having to go to a hospital). My appt was at 9:30am. I was home by 12:30pm! I couldn't believe it. I had "stay in the house"-level swelling for about 1.5 weeks. The bruising lasted a month or so. I would def recommend having a full coverage concealer on hand. Conclusively, there aren't enough words to express my gratitude to Dr. Kapadia and his staff. I have not been told I look tired since! If you are in need of a blepharoplasty, look no further!

Amazing Experiene and Results!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Kapadia and his entire staff. I recently had a lower blepharoplasty, and the results are truly amazing. Dr. Kapadia is not only incredibly skilled, but also kind, caring, and completely attentive throughout the entire process. I used to look tired and a bit haggard no matter how much rest I got, and now I look awake, refreshed, and so much more like myself. The transformation is subtle, natural, and exactly what I hoped for. Every member of his team is equally exceptional. They made me feel completely comfortable, supported, and informed from start to finish. They checked in with me several times after surgery, and anytime I had a question or needed anything, they responded immediately. Their outstanding level of care and attentiveness made the entire experience smooth, reassuring, and truly exceptional. I honestly wish I had done this years ago. If you’re considering this procedure, I can’t recommend Dr. Kapadia highly enough!

I wish I would have done this years ago! Dr. Kapadia is amazing; he gives candid and kind recommendations, and his skill is exceptional. It takes me half the time to get ready for the day now- whether that’s for business meetings or time with my friends and family. And I’m now saving tons of money from no longer needing fillers and skin prepping products. His entire team is kind and caring as well. My advice? Don’t wait! Go see Dr. Kapadia now.

Amazing Experience from Start to Finish

I recently had an upper and lower blepharoplasty with Dr. Kapadia, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience or outcome. From start to finish, he and his entire staff were incredibly kind, patient, and supportive. I felt well-prepared going into surgery. Every step of the process, from what to expect on the day of surgery to how healing typically progresses, was clearly explained. What really sets Dr. Kapadia apart is the care he provides after the procedure. He was immediately reachable by email for any healing questions and always welcoming if I wanted to come in for reassurance. He followed me closely throughout the first six months of recovery, and even offered complimentary VBeam treatments to help with redness around my incisions. The results have been exceptional and multiple other doctors of mine - my ophthalmologist and dermatologists - have commented on what a beautiful surgical outcome I have. The improvement is significant yet wonderfully subtle. Dr. Kapadia truly preserves the natural shape and integrity of your eyes, and the result looks like the best version of you rather than anything obvious or overdone. What also gave me enormous trust in him was his honesty. I asked whether an additional procedure would help optimize my results, and instead of recommending something unnecessary (and more profitable), he told me I didn’t need it. That level of integrity is rare, and exactly the kind of surgeon you want. Someone who believes in subtlety, a “less is more” philosophy, and doing what’s genuinely in your best interest. I trust Dr. Kapadia with any future procedures, and several of my friends and family are now considering traveling from out of town just to see him. If you are looking for a surgeon who combines skill, artistry, kindness, and honesty, I cannot recommend him highly enough.

What Took Me So Long?!?

After years of prioritizing my family and career, I found myself at a crossroads in my 50s, struggling with self-esteem and no longer recognizing the reflection in the mirror. Seeking a change, I consulted with Dr. Kapadia at Boston Eyelids and decided to undergo upper and lower blepharoplasty along with CO2 laser resurfacing in February 2025. Despite my initial nerves about eye surgery, Dr. Kapadia and his team provided reassurance and answered all my questions, making the journey from consultation to recovery smooth and exceeding my expectations. Now, when I look in the mirror, I'm greeted by a familiar, smiling face, and my only regret is not taking this step sooner.

Amazing Experience!

I had my upper lids done with Dr. Kampala this year. I was very nervous to have the procedure done but it went perfectly. I’m so happy with the end result, my only regret is that I didn’t do the procedure sooner. Dr. Kapadia and his staff are fantastic. Everyone from the nurses to the front desk were wonderful to work with! Highly recommend!

A Great Decision - painless, with minimal scarring.

I chose Dr. Kapadia after consulting with two other providers at a cost of several hundred dollars. It was a great decision. Dr. Kapadia is upfront, confident, and highly skilled. I am thrilled with the results of my upper blepharoplasty. It was painless, with minimal scarring, and a flawless experience. From the initial consultation, to the surgery, and the follow-up appointments, everything was seamless. If you are considering cosmetic eye surgery, it only makes sense to go to an oculofacial plastic surgeon. Look no further than Dr. Kapadia, he stands out as the best!

Amazing Lower Bleph Results

I would recommend Dr. Kapadia to everyone looking to fix their under eyes. I had terrible genetic eye bags, and decided to get the surgery now, at 25. I am very happy with my results, and it hasn’t even been 3 months since the procedure!
