Dr Kapadia is so sweet and kind! He is So precise in his placement of Botox injections. I’m very sensitive to Botox and he worked so patiently with me to get the best result even if it meant multiple visits. The office staff is also very friendly and accommodating! I highly recommended this practice.
Dr. Kapadia has the ability to shave 15 years off in the most natural way. My boyfriend, friends, co-workers have no idea that I have been getting fillers and Botox for years now. Dr. Kapadia has such an amazing eye, he understands how the face should naturally move and look. I highly recommend Dr. Kapadia. He is so skilled and his staff is amazing.
Thank you so much Dr Kapadia. I am so happy that I found you. I will definitely see you again. Everyone at the office is so nice. He makes me very comfortable, he will answer all your questions. Gracias
I found Dr Kapadia while searching for someone who was capable and willing to put filler under my eyes in order for them to look a) less hollow and b) less tired. Thankfully this is something Dr Kapadia seemed well versed in. His practice is very well appointed, his staff are friendly and very capable and Dr Kapadia was conservative in an area that should never be "over filled". I...
I initially met with Dr. Kapadia at the Boston Eyelids facility in Wellesley, MA about 5 to 6 weeks prior to my surgery, while I was investigating options to eliminate the bags under my eyes.

Dr. Kapadia described the surgical procedure,...
A: Its not recommended to get fillers or Botox while you are pregnant or nursing, as tiny amounts of product may enter the bloodstream during injection and reach the fetus or baby. There is no known risk if you get pregnant after having these products.
A: Ptosis surgery is the most difficult type of eyelid surgery to achieve symmetry. The usual goal is to get the height of the upper eyelids within 1mm of each other. Overcorrection can be brought down with a second surgery, but there is always the risk of brining it down too much or leaving too high. Its hard to tell how different they are from your photo as you are looking downward. The best away to assess eyelid height is with a photo from straight ahead with a camera flash. You can always see another oculoplastic surgeon in your area for another opinion.
A: It looks like the main issue is volume loss, which can be treated with filler injections. CO2 laser resurfacing can be used to help improve the fine lines.
A: The under eye veins can be treated with a Nd:Yag laser. The mild wrinkles are more difficult. Botox in the upper cheek can cause smile asymmetry so its probably not the best treatment. Resurfacing the skin with a CO2 laser often helps.
A: I think your eyes are stunning and wouldn’t recommend any surgery for you. If you want to see a little more lid platform, a Botox brow lift may help.
