My ptosis had bothered me for a while, both on a cosmetic level but also because it was affecting my vision. The procedure took about an hour and apart from the initial injection which I could feel, but was not unbearable, I had no other pain at all, just slight discomfort Sabrina Shah-Desai did my procedure, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who is thinking of having this procedure, she explains what is happening at each stage of the way, and the outcome is totally amazing! I left hospital after a couple of hours with full instructions as to what to do with eye-drops & painkillers etc., but due to the fact I had no pain at all, the painkillers were never touched. I had slight bruising which disappeared after about a week, but as she operates using a unique procedure whereby all the work is done from inside the eyelid, there were no stitches or cuts on the outside of my eyelid at all. I am really very happy with the outcome of my procedure, and if necessary would have it done on my other eyelid without a second thought.

Is that the fees for just one eyelid? About £1300(I converted! :-) ) Your eyes look great by the way.

Thanks! The amount quoted above was in £ and included the hospital stay, but it was covered by insurance as my sight was affected. Give Mrs. Shah-Desai's secretary a call (Rebecca on 0795 2028397 or email info@perfecteyesltd.com and they will be able to quote you outside of insurance.

Hi - how is your left eye doing, after 1 year of surgery? The result in the picture looks wonderful. Was it the scarless ptosis repair procedure that is performed from the underside of the eyelid instead of the traditional method cutting from the skin side of the eyelid? I am considering consulting with Mrs Desai for my ptosis (also left eye). You said slight bruising lasting 1 week - was it black/blue bruising on the eyelid? Many thanks for your help
