46yr Old with Heavy Lids - Beverly, MA

My eyelids were so heavy that it was an effort to keep my eyes opened wide. I had done Botox and it helped a bit, but with age my lids kept getting worse, so decided to have an eye lift. Interestingly, I didn't even realize how much effort I was putting in to keeping my eyes open until after I had the procedure. It is amazing and I am so happy with the results.

Dr. Patel had done a breast augmentation on me and I was thrilled with the results therefore I felt very comfortable about going to her for blepharoplasty. During my consultation she explained the procedure in great detail and gave me the option of having it done in the hospital or her office. Huge price difference having the procedure done in the office as no cost for room or anesthesia. I opted for the office. The thought of no anesthesia and being awake made me a bit nervous, but Dr. Patel has done hundreds in her office. She gave me a prescription for Valium, which I took a half hour before. This put me at ease when she had to give me Novocaine in my lids. After the shot of Novocaine, I didn't feel a thing.
