Sabrina Shah-Desai, MS, FRCS

I highly recommend Dr. Sabrina and trust her completely! The results from my ptosis repair are perfect. Dr. Sabrina and her team were a pleasure to work with throughout the process.

I had unlitareal acquired ptosis of about 2.5mm. I did research for about a year and had consultations with two surgeons. I traveled from Germany to see Dr. Sabrina, which was well worth it. She told me she could perform a MMCR to correct my ptosis, with a 5% chance of over/under-correction. Because of her great reviews, professional reputation, and warm, thorough communication style, I decided to go with her.

The surgery took place at a small, calm hospital. It was performed with local anesthesia only and took about ten minutes, during which I felt some tugging but no pain. Dr. Sabrina was encouraging and kind throughout the process.

Healing for me took about six weeks. Initially, I was nervous as my eyelid looked too high and there are lots of stories online of people who went to different surgeons and wound up with overcorrections. I shouldn’t have been nervous though; Dr. Sabrina has significant experience and knows how patients heal under her care. She said she never had to re-do a ptosis surgery to lower an overcorrection. She assured me that the muscles needed time to re-balance and that the final result can take a few months to appear. She gave me some eyelid stretching techniques to help the scar tissue relax.

Two weeks after the surgery, the eyelid was still high and Dr. Sabrina offered to release one stitch to help it settle down sooner, which was a very generous offer as she charged nothing for it and could have easily dismissed me at that point. That was a simple, painless procedure in her office. After that, the eyelid relaxed within several days. She said she was confident it would have relaxed by itself with time even without the stitch removed, but I really appreciated her willingness to help me find a solution right away since I was feeling nervous.

Now, eight weeks post-op, my eyelid looks absolutely perfect and I’m so glad I got this done with Dr. Sabrina!

If you’re planning to get ptosis correction, I highly recommend her and her wonderful staff. Ptosis is a tricky and unpredictable surgery even in the best of hands and choosing the right surgeon is crucial. You really see what a surgeon is made of when you present them with a bit of a challenge during the healing process, and they stick by your side! It’s clear that Dr. Sabrina is deeply invested in the outcome of each patient, and her reputation shows it. I’m so grateful to her and her team!

I have had festoons since I was a child- I have literally tried every non surgical treatment available to remove them. I finally took the plunge and booked my extended lower blepharoplasty with dr Sabrina. I am so happy that I did. Surgery was painless and I spent less than 6 hours in hospital in total. Although I am still healing my eyes already look a million times better and I am very grateful to Dr Sabrina for being an amazing surgeon

I had been dealing with a mild case of left eye ptosis, which left my eyes looking asymmetrical. Initially, I consulted with a well-known aesthetician to try correcting the asymmetry with eyelid fillers, hoping for a non-surgical solution. Unfortunately, my eyelid started looking droopier after a couple of months time and it also made my left eyelid feel heavy to lift, making me tired often. After thorough research, I consulted with two surgeons, with Dr Ahmad Aziz initially and then subsequently with Dr. Sabrina Shah-Desai. I was drawn to Dr Sabrina Shah-Desai not only because of her outstanding reputation and decades of specialist surgical experience but also because she has the advanced equipment necessary to trace and dissolve the fillers, ensuring my eyelids were properly prepared for left eye ptosis surgery. Knowing that the risk of bleeding would be minimized once the fillers were dissolved gave me immense peace of mind. After Dr. Shah-Desai dissolved the fillers, she assessed my face and eyes and recommended a Mullerectomy with a 5% chance of over-or under correction which could be treated with subsequent surgery or massaging. She’s also mentioned some eye drops that will soon come on the market which can open up my eye without surgery but I didn’t want to be dependent on those and decided to risk it with surgery. The procedure itself went super fast, I was in an out of the hospital within a couple of hours and the procedure itself didn’t take more than 10 minutes. Dr Sabrina was able to identify, communicate and repair the stretched out muscle that was causing my ptosis shortly after she opened up my eyelid from the inside. The results totally exceeded my expectations—I’m thrilled with the outcome (see attached before and after photos). The post-op advice she has provided was incredibly effective; I experienced no bruising and minimal swelling by the next morning, and I had no pain at all. I have no scars from the procedure. Dr Sabrina has seen me post-op after a week and she’s scheduled to re-assess the progress again in 3 months. I am in very safe hands and privileged to have met her, she’s super cool, fun to deal with, highly skilled and professional. I paid privately for it all, the consultations, procedure and filler dissolutions, it’s pricey, but totally worth every penny and saving up for. I have regained all my confidence since, I look younger and I’m getting special treatments and positive attention from strangers since I’ve had this small but life-changing procedure done (no joke!). I can’t thank her enough and will definitely be returning to her for future facial procedures.

It is two weeks today since I had my Blepharoplasty with Dr Sabrina. To help all those considering this procedure I have posted three images of before surgery, one week after which shows my stiches and today, two weeks post surgery. I am honestly over the moon with the results. I knew the minute I meet Dr Sabrina that I was in safe hands. I had originally wanted both upper and lower Blepharoplasty surgery but Dr Sabrina explained to me that my skin was too thin to carry out lower Blepharoplasty. I elected to proceed with the upper lid/blepharoplasty surgery and quite frankly I am so thrilled with the results that even now after only two weeks I feel (and I think look) AMAZING! Dr Sabrina and her team are faultless. They have a process that is seamless and the aftercare I have received is outstanding. At no point have I been left feeling uncertain or nervous. Any questions have been dealt with quickly and with care. The procedure itself was carried out so efficiently. In many ways I honestly just felt like I was checking in to a nice hotel, having a facial followed off by tea and biscuits. It really was that easy! Clearly with any surgery there are risks and no surgery is to be taken lightly. However Dr Sabrina is at the top of her field for very obvious reasons. A very skilled surgeon with the rare combination of having the human touch and time to reassure, talk through anything questions I had.
I feel very lucky to have been able to have this procedure carried out by Dr Sabrina. I would suggest looking at the amazing stitching techniques shown in my attached images...Honestly from a distance the stitching just looked like very good eye make-up. A truly skilled individual with the team to support her.

Had under eye wrinkling due to sun damage and a bit of old filler. First had CO2 laser then filler dissolved then surgery. Every day expected to wake up with black eyes but never materialised. Such a painless recovery. Doctor Sabrina so lovely and so talented. Recommended to me by local ocular surgeon a few years ago. Knew I would go to her when time came. My follow up is in 3 months but already delighted. My kids tell me I look great

Consultant Mrs Shah-Desai came highly recommended by another doctor, I have a lot of respect and admiration for. He said she was the best in the industry, so as you can imagine I had very high expectations and I was not disappointed ! The eyes are the central point of your face, and I would not let just anyone tamper with mine.
Sabrina is supremely talented ! I was taken care off before and after the surgery, the customer care service was second to none, and believe me I have very high standards.
I would recommend Sabrina to anyone, and I have told Sabrina she is never allowed to retire ! An exceptional talent like hers is rare indeed!!

First and foremost I would like to say is : Dr Sabrina is simply AMAZING!

Highly professional, extremely talented, very kind and supportive - everything you would expect from a doctor. I've had the best experience in her care.

I've had an upper blepharoplasty 4 weeks ago in February 2024.

For me it was a huge step to take. I've never had surgery before, let alone on my face. I've been thinking about this procedure for a couple of years, hesitating...

I've been unfortunate to have naturally excessive skin on my eyelids and it did bother me for many years.

Only after the consultation with Dr Sabrina, where she explained the procedure and answered all the questions I've had, I've made a decision to go ahead with the surgery.

I knew then, that I can fully trust Dr Sabrina!

The operation went smoothly, Dr Sabrina and her team at the hospital were exceptionally great!

I didn't feel any pain or discomfort. After the operation I've had an assurance from Dr Sabrina, that all went well. I went home relieved and relaxed ( no pain after surgery ether).

My special greatest thanks to Dr Sabrina's team at her clinic - they are just fantastic!!!

From the very first consultation they are always on hand, very helpful, kind, understanding, answering all the questions, giving all important information. I feel very well cared for!

Thank you, Doctor Sabrina for giving me my eyes! Already they look so different from before, can't wait to see the final result!

With all my confidence, appreciation and gratitude I would highly recommend Dr Sabrina and her wonderful team to anyone, thinking of the treatments provided at the clinic!

A very happy patient,

Julia :)

I am delighted to share my exceptional experience with Dr. Sabrina and Deanna from The Perfect Eyes Clinic on Harley street yesterday. Dr. Sabrina's expertise in administering the Ellanse collagen stimulation filler to my cheeks and the polynucleotides treatment to my under eyes was truly remarkable. Her patience, care, and professionalism created a comforting atmosphere throughout the procedures. Dr Sabrina has treated me multiple times now and it is never painful, she is very gentle.

Equally praiseworthy is Deanna, who performed the Softwave treatment to tighten the loose skin under my jawline. Her skill and dedication were evident, and I am excited to see the results over the coming months . Softwave is a little uncomfortable and I was squeaking a lot but Deanna stayed really calm and made me laugh and forget about feeling the heat from the treatment.
The entire environment in the new sister clinic exuded beauty and tranquility, enhancing the overall experience. I highly recommend Dr. Sabrina and Deanna for their outstanding services.

she is such a pleasant lady and a very good doctor, thank you! The clinic was also nice to be in and her staff very polite. Overall, a pleasant experience and snootty vibes at all which seems to be common with Harley Street these days.

Dr Sabrina Shah Desai was recommended to me by another doctor, and then her excellent reputation as an oculoplastic surgeon was verified by another surgeon in the field. She performed a Blepharoplasty (upper) and from start to finish it was a wonderful experience as well as a truly fantastic outcome.

Although I’m a bit squeamish about my eyes and risk adverse in nature, she put me at ease straight away and I knew I could trust her with probably one of the most important parts of my face. Her staff are all so professional, helpful, and caring (I doubt she’d have them as her staff if they weren’t consistently top notch), checking in with me afterwards and available for questions etc. Dr Sabrina scheduled follow ups, and I was so ecstatic about the experience and result that I had to stop myself from hugging her. She’s a truly gifted surgeon and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Thank you Dr. Sabrina and the Perfect Eye team.
