Hi my name is Kelly and most of you may know me as Dr. Prasad receptionist but today I am his patient when I first started working here I believed in plastic surgery but I didn’t think that at the time I needed it after seeing Dr. Prasad patients I realized that I could actually be one of them it’s I know I’m 22 so for some people you’re like really eyelid surgery but it’s not about age and it’s not about what you look like it was something that I knew would make me happy

Kelly is young so there’s not a lot of aging changes so what we want to do is retain a natural appearance to her eyes and so and it first identify the crease this space right here is where you apply eyeshadow and so that will be the definition nature gives us a crease so that it is as you get older gets less defined but when you’re young is pretty well defined and some basically follow what’s already there as the starting point.

I knew that Dr. Prasad was the right doctor to fix that for me he is excellent at what he does he’s a master of his art and just like any artist could draw a picture Dr. Prasad can fix your eyelids

Now the art of eyelid surgery is deciding how much to do as well as how much not to do so when I’m looking at her I’m asking her to open her eyes and I like to do my drawings with the patient’s standing up because we’re vertical and when you’re laying down everything kind of shifts up and back so with her students getting up I can confirm that the crease is in a nice place based on what I saw with her eyes closed and now I look at her and see how much extra skin there is and skin is not the enemy it doesn’t going to remove all the skin what we want to do is to look young and natural so if we take off too much skin it can actually make you look older okay so what I’m doing now is measuring a certain amount of skin that I’d like to reduce and at the same time not take too much and this is where the art is because technically she has enough elasticity in their skin to be able to remove a lot more so we almost have permission to take away a lot but really we don’t because then she will look like she had surgery so what we want to do is to make her eyes look more open and nor natural and this is where experience and artistry are very very important essentially anybody can take away skin but taking you right about a skin away and doing in a way that looks nice and natural that’s judgment that is I feel intrinsic what I like to do is create enough space on the outer aspect of the eye so that you can really apply eyeshadow and it will look very nice at the same time we don’t want any scars that go outside of the natural shape of the eye if you go to any restaurant to look around the city or Long Island you’ll see a lot of people walking around with an incision line out here because the doctor when they did the surgery drew it in a way so that the scar went outside so again she’s young we don’t want her to look like she’s had surgery so with this design here it flows and tapers and it looks it matches his wife of her face it’s mental do the same thing on this side it’s important to realize when you look at eyes that know very few people have a hundred percent symmetric eyes and you realize that when you’re doing the drawing that the subtle or subtle asymmetries and wood Kelly her left brows a little bit higher than her right brow and bone structure has an effect on how these areas are manifested because the soft tissue where the skin drapes over the bones so compensating and trying to maximize the symmetry is also important but again we are naturally a little bit asymmetric so there’s a lot of heaviness on the outer aspect here there’s not much over here so it’s almost graduated we’re going to take a little bit more as we go out so that what everything is done you’ll actually have more of an eyelid do that Calvin yes nice so that’s that’s what we can expect okay all right so we get to work now

I am four days post-surgery it seems unbelievable to me I was literally fascinated with my results I’m back at work after four days which most people were even shocked about I got a call the next day from the nurse and she said when are you gonna be back I said Tuesday she said really I said yes and I knew would be possible because honestly I was stunned by the fact that I didn’t look like I had surgery um I went to wool bombs last night and nobody even looked at me like I was crazy which most people would think they would I am back at work feeling fine and I am ecstatic over my results they really look good really is it for one week I can’t believe it yeah yeah I feel like I’d literally I don’t look like I had surgery someone wouldn’t say hey did you have plastic surgery but I look different to myself and I’m so happy about that because it I have knowledge which I didn’t have before my sister couldn’t believe it she said she can’t wait to do my makeup which is exciting for her but I just wanted everyone to know that I feel great and I’m excited this is my month and a half post-op video I did my upper eyelids because I had a lot of extra skin and oh people are always saying you look tired or when I smiled I literally didn’t have an eyelid I would wear makeup and you couldn’t tell so I made the decision to do this and I’m so excited to be here talking to you guys about this because it has made such a difference for me the funny thing is that people will see me and nobody knows the difference my friends haven’t noticed family members that didn’t see me after the surgery haven’t noticed and it’s just like I like that in a way because he didn’t change my look he just enhanced it so I am so excited I’ve been wearing makeup every day basically because now when I do you could see the eye shadow my eyelashes are up my mascara looks wonderful and that’s just like something little that comes along with it and I don’t look as tired I feel like I look awake and enhance I don’t look different but I definitely look better and that is why I’m so thankful to Dr. Prasad for this if the upper eyelid surgery I had done gave me that natural crease that most people don’t have to have surgery to do but I was a person that did the skin that hung over prevented me from having an eyelid basically before the surgery one of the nurses said to me when you smile you know you don’t have that look that most people have so now I’ve gained that natural crease just from doing the surgery I’m actually an aspiring actor so for me that’s your looks is what sells you you need that in that business and I feel like Dr. Prasad gave me an opportunity to enhance my look and I’m very excited about that because you want to look your best it’s important you’re on camera people are looking at you that’s what they’re judging you by the first step you walk in the door so he gave me an opportunity to give them something a little better to look at I look a week I look alive I look like I’m ready to be there and like I slept last night which is important it’s something that everybody wants but especially someone whose look is something that you know is imperative in their career.
