I have been bothered for the past 8-10 years by the bags and wrinkles under my eyes. I used to think that my eyes were my best feature but had gotten to the point where I hated even looking in the mirror or taking photos as every time I would look at my face, my eyes would be drawn to the bags. I had consults with several surgeons but decided on Dr. Amiya Prasad in Garden City, New York. I was very impressed with his credentials and experience, along with his facilities and staff. He is a highly skilled and trained specialist, an occuloplastic surgeon with a specialty in eye surgeries, revisions of bad surgeries, nd reconstructive surgeries. Dr. Prasad exudes confidence without an ounce of arrogance. He is exactly what I needed as during my research, I had read and seen photos of many horror stories and bad surgeries. It is very scary to decide on an elective procedure that, if screwed up could leave you looking like a completely different person. I actually almost decided to back out of the surgery several times. In the end, Dr. Prasad's calming presence, and obvious skill and experience won me over. I had read somewhere that for lower bleph surgery, you should be happy if you get 50-70% of what you desire with respect to satisfaction. Due to horror stories of retraction (although much less common in transconjunctival approach blepharoplasties) and after surgery hollowness, I asked Dr. Prasad to take a conservative approach. As such, I would have been very happy if I achieved a 50% reduction/resolution of my bags, along with no complications). I am almost three weeks post-op and I must say that Dr. Prasad completely exceeded my expectations. He knocked it out of the park and it appears that he achieved 100% resolution. My eyes still look like mine and the bags are completely gone. I could not be happier that I went through with this and that I chose Dr. Prasad as my surgeon. As late as the day of the surgery, I was terrified that I would end up being a statistic, but I put my trust in a terrific doctor and it turned out terrific. I highly recommend Dr. Prasad for any procedure for your eyes, My guess is that he's not the type of person or doctor who would perform any procedure without being sure that he's capable of achieving excellent patient satisfaction. That's just the type of person he is. However, my experience was only with this one procedure and that's all I will speak to. Good luck to all.

Your review of him and your experience is reassuring. I'm thinking of having the same thing done as well . I met with him today. I am nervous of waking up during surgery. We're you completely unaware and asleep throughout? Any info would be great.
Thanks!!
