Such a skilled and talented surgeon!
Thank you for your kind words, Songs! And thanks for watching!
Make sure you look up “hunter eyes” before you make them too round.
Dr. Prasad, would poor lifestyle decisions such as smoking/poor diet only slow the healing process or change how the final results look as well?
Hi dr. Prasad! My name is Z, an asian with keloid-prone skin. Most of the scars on my body grow into keloid. And I’m planning to have a non-surgical eyelid procedure on my current monolids (it makes me looks tired and drowsy all the time, that’s why I have been putting a lot of thoughts on doing upper eyelid correction). Will it be safer to undergo this non-surgical procedure than the surgical blepharoplasty? Will the piercing and stitches cause keloid too? Looking forward to your reply. Thank you so much, doc 🙏🏻
Hi @Ztsy9602,
The non-incisional approach to double eyelid surgery is only appropriate for younger people with no extra eyelid skin, and fat behind the eyelid preventing the establishment of a defined crease. The non-incisional approach is still surgery. Eyelid surgery can be done in darker ethnic skin types prone to keloid scarring by a surgeon (like myself) experienced with these skin types. You can refer to this video about it - czcams.com/video/ZNkvC941ng4/video.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMD alright. Thanks so much for the insight, doc 🙏
You're welcome,@@Ztsy9602
Hello Dr Prasad, my wife wants to get her hooded eyes operated. Her question is how do you determine whether to perform brow life or remove skin from the eyelid?
Hi mike byrd,
I generally advise upper eyelid surgery over brow lifting because the results generally look more natural, but sometimes a brow procedure is needed if it has descended and puts weight on the eyelids. You can watch this video I made specifically for this subject for more details: czcams.com/video/8H4KNkG202A/video.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMD thank you, she is making appointment to see you
Great, mike byrd! Hope to meet you both soon.
It’s gonna take me a year ..it’s been like i said 3 weeks and I still have swollen in the area even under my eyes ..why under my eyes ..I didn’t have anything done to it...now I have a lit bag of fluid that builds up in the mornings I’m hoping to god it goes away ..that all...very very good surgeon u are wow ..
Hi Mig 2020,
It's still pretty early in your recovery, so there is still a lot of time for the swelling and fluid to clear. And thank you for the kind compliment!
Did the swelling go down? How long did it take?
Hello Doctor. I am very impressed by the quality of your content.
I am undergoing adult strabismus surgery this year and I was wondering if that would preclude me from getting upper eyelid blepharoplasty later on? Is there a risk in terms of the muscles involved? Should they be performed in any particular order? Thank you.
Hi ThePolypam,
Strabismus surgery should not affect an upper blepharoplasty later on. An examination of your condition is needed to determine which procedure you should do first. You can discuss this with your current ophthalmologist as they know details of your current condition that I'm not aware of. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD It does. Thank you, doctor.
You're welcome, @@ThePolypam!
Hi doc i done remove stictes today n my eyes look pull down my surgeon cut to much skin n he put back skin can my eyes become normal like before..pls answers after recovery
Hi @marslove5907,
Sorry to hear about your problem. This is a common occurrence when lower eyelid skin is removed, which is why I've made many videos over the years advising against this technique, and why I don't remove lower eyelid skin when I perform lower eyelid surgery. You may need reconstructive surgery to restore lower eyelid support, and skin. You can refer to this videos about it:

hello, can you please tell me how much needles depth i use for the pores on nose. please
Hi hamara noori,
Treating pores on the nose requires a physical exam, and giving you a depth for self-treatment can be dangerous to you. I suggest you have a proper physical exam by a medical professional before considering treatment. I hope this helps you.
Mine look ragged and it looks like a lot of skin was not removed. I had it done at another surgery, but I am not hopeful of the final look.
Hi Rita Harris,
Now is the time to trust your surgeon, as you did choose your surgeon for a reason. I hope things work out well for you as healing progresses.
Is there usually no scarring?
Hi Adnan A,
If the procedure is done well, then there should be no obvious scarring. In a well done upper blepharoplasty, the incision line visible when you close your eyes should be indistinguishable by the natural crease that forms where the eyelid skin folds from blinking or closing your eyes. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD I had my upper eyelift about 7 months now but the scars look terrible in the outter corner of both of my eyes ( one scar is high and the other eye has a low scar, my eyes kinda look different because of the scarring) is there anyway to speed up the healing process of these scars and make them less visible? I'm devastated!
Hi@@lavieestbellesara7959,
Sorry to hear about your problem. My patients are usually pretty close to their final results about 6 months after upper eyelid surgery, which is when I usually have the "after" pictures taken. You can watch these videos about healing after upper eyelid surgery:
czcams.com/video/dMq7UNewiQI/video.html
czcams.com/video/NpZJJcd4Qa0/video.html
I hope you stopped using antibiotic ointment 2 days after surgery. I suggest you follow up with your original surgeon, and if they are unable to help you, you can come see an eyelid specialist like an oculoplastic surgeon like myself. I hope this helps you.
@@lavieestbellesara7959 Hi, Can you please let me know how your scars are? I had my surgery 2 weeks ago and was wondering how you're doing with the scars since my scars are really bad and reach the outer corner of my eyes-nothing covers this- they're scars!!! This is terrible...
Dr prasad...Doctor recommend to use monoxidil on receeding temples.i have hair fall and i fear that my scalp hair will thin too.should I use monoxidil over scalp to prevent my hair from thinning..I'm 20
Hi,
Minoxidil won't thicken your hair, or stop hair loss, but it appears to delay the hair shedding cycle, and extends the hair growth cycle so you appear to have more hair on your head. You will have to use it daily to sustain these effects, but these effects can also decrease with time even if you use it daily. I do think finasteride is more beneficial than minoxidil as it can slow down and stabilize hair thinning, and it can be used long-term more predictably. If you want to thicken thinning hair, and stimulate hair growth from dormant follicles, look into the Hair Regeneration treatment featured in my videos. You can watch this video about male pattern hair loss treatment for someone your age - czcams.com/video/fLSB-tE0gco/video.html
@@AmiyaPrasadMD ..for much time monoxidil will be effective
It depends on the person as each responds to minoxidil differently, but with my patients, minoxidil is the least effective, and also not as sustainable as other treatments. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Sir, i saw that ,that young lady got a bigger eye after your surgery...
Is that the reason for her surgery. . I too have a solemn face, will this help me....
Hi sten beetlex,
In cosmetic eyelid surgery, the eyes can appear more open as extra skin is removed, but the eye itself is not made bigger. The appropriate treatment for you can be determined in a physical exam where I would examine your face and eyelids. I hope this clarifies things for you.
What is the cost of surgery?
Hi Mssing Goldy,
There are no set costs for upper eyelid surgery as each patient has different needs, and some surgeries are more extensive than others. Our offices are located in Manhattan, New York City which you can call at (212) 265-8877, and Garden City, Long Island at (516) 742-4636. You can also reach us through www.prasadcosmeticsurgery.com, www.eyelifts.com, or www.pufffyeyes.com by filling out a contact form, and we will get back to you. I hope to hear from you soon.
My surgery is this Thursday April 21,2022 and ready, but as to be expected, a little nervous.
I wish you the best of luck with your surgery, bubbamell50
@@AmiyaPrasadMD I will send before and after pics. Thank you for responding at all, but ever so quickly!
You're welcome,@@bubbamell50
Surgery went very well. This is day 5 and very little bruising and of course some swelling. Otherwise still no pain. Friday is stitch removal day.
It sounds like it's working out well for you, @@bubbamell50
Doctor I had my done 3 weeks ago ..I still have swelling..I have numbness and I kinda wish i did not have it done ..I’m 60 years old ...I still have to see my doctor in 3 weeks ...I do not like the feeling of my eyes now ..it’s a weird feeling maybe tightness idk but they feel weird .
Hi Mig 2020,
Sorry to hear that. Without knowing the details of your surgery, and a physical examination, I can only help guide you with the video you are commenting on. I hope you can learn from it to improve your recovery experience.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD i hope I’m just over reacting.....it just think he should of also gave me a eyebrow lift ..does that cost $$$ as well when a person just gets eyelid surgery?
@@AmiyaPrasadMD after I saw your videos ..your very very good ...so I think I’m just to anxious
Can I continue to use latisse?
Hi @MrsLucky0929,
After upper eyelid surgery, you would need to apply antibiotic ointment to the incision line, followed by a petrolatum-based ointment for an optimal healing environment, so you won't be able to use Latisse for at least a week after surgery. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you
You're welcome,@@MrsLucky0929
Hi, how can i send you my eye picture with the question
Hi Luna Phan,
We no longer accept images to be featured in videos, but we can do a preliminary evaluation. You can send your pictures through prasadcosmeticsurgery.com/virtual-consultation/ but this is not a formal consultation. A formal, one-on-one Skype video consultation with me can arranged through prasadcosmeticsurgery.com/skype-virtual-consultations/ I hope to hear from you soon.
Doctor I have a question about my male pattern baldness. I’m 16 turning 17 and my hairline is receding aswell as minor thinning in the middle part of my scalp. On my receding sides I can see hair but it’s very small will using minoxidil help grow them hairs so they look abit thicker and if I use it on the top of my scalp will it help to make that part more dense.
Hi m g,Minoxidil won't thicken your hair, or stop hair loss, but it appears to delay the hair shedding cycle, and extends the hair growth cycle so you appear to have more hair on your head. You will have to use it daily to sustain these effects, but these effects can also decrease with time even if you use it daily. If you suspect you have male pattern hair loss, it's important to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis, and confirmation. If you have it this early, you are likely highly DHT-sensitive, and need a DHT-blocker like finasteride, which does require a doctor's prescription. Finasteride treats the main cause of male pattern hair loss more directly, and can be used long-term. If you want to thicken thinning hair and stimulate growth from dormant hair follicles, look into the Hair Regeneration treatment featured in my videos. I hope this clarifies things for you.
Amiya Prasad, M.D. thanks for the reply doctor but at this early stage of 17 I don’t want to use finasteride it dutasteride due to the hormonal side effects. However I’m looking on using minoxidil once a day with dream rolling once a week as well as natural “dot blockers” like saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil. Is this a good sustainable regimine
Hi@@mg-zp3gr,
The chances of side effects with fiansteride is only 2%, so it's very rare. You need to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis. If pattern hair loss is confirmed, and you refuse a proven DHT-blocker like finasteride, then you will lose hair very quickly, even if you try other treatments. I hope this helps you.
I'm going to get this surgery, I have hooded eyes because of genetics and I always look tried and angry.
Hi Anonymous Person,
Sorry to hear that. Please be careful in choosing an eyelid surgeon so you get natural-looking results, and for proper function of the upper eyelids so skin removal does not affect closure. I hope this helps you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD I've been doing research, I've hated my eyes for years I'm so happy there is a way to fix it! :)
Best of luck with it,@@livvieblair9506! Just let us know if you'd like our help.

Hi papu kumar,
I haven't seen your scar in examination, so I can't give you a recommendation based on a brief description. I hope this helps you.
Sir are you indian ? Do you have any hospital in india ?
Hi Gouri Binoj,
Yes, I am of Indian descent, but I was born, raised, educated, and practice medicine only in the US. I'd be happy to help you from one of our offices in the US, but I don't perform medical procedures in India. I hope this clarifies things for you.
@@AmiyaPrasadMD Thank you sir . I like to get an appointment but I am in India and its impossible to get over there .Thankyou for your response
