Oct 6, 2025If surgery can be a great experience, then this was one. Dr. Patel and his team are very caring and professional. This goes for the team in his office to his OR team. I had a Revision of Nasal Septum surgery that I had over 30 years ago. My experience after the first surgery was not as pleasant and I was expecting this one to be as bad. Dr. Patel did a great job. I had no bruising and some swelling, which is expected. I was able to resume my daily morning walk the next day. His staff checked on me every couple of days after surgery to make sure I was doing ok. They were always there if I needed them. I just saw Dr. Patel today and he is pleased with my progress. I will see him again in a few months, as a follow-up, but I feel fine. I would recommend Dr. Patel and his team to anyone that needs Nasal surgery. Does great work and is very caring about his patients.

Sep 4, 2025My Experience with Dr. Patel – UK Kentucky Clinic
After undergoing facial surgery to remove a potentially cancerous mass, I was left with partial facial paralysis that affected both my peripheral vision and the symmetry of my eyebrows. I didn’t know where to turn or what options were available, and I was convinced that the vision-related issues wouldn’t be covered by insurance.
Thankfully, I was referred to Dr. Patel at the UK Kentucky Clinic in Lexington, KY, and I truly consider that a blessing. Dr. Patel and his incredible team took the time to evaluate my condition and explained that the issues I was experiencing were functional in nature—which meant they were covered by insurance. That news alone was a huge relief.
To restore function, Dr. Patel performed a brow and eyelid lift, with follow-up Botox treatments planned—all covered by my insurance. From the very beginning, he made sure I was fully involved in the decision-making process, walking me through each step and ensuring I felt comfortable with the care plan.
What stood out most was the compassion and dedication of Dr. Patel and his staff. They didn’t just perform procedures—they followed up after hours to check on me. In one instance, they even came into the office on a Saturday to remove stitches from my brow lift so I wouldn’t have to wait until Monday. That kind of care and consideration meant the world to me.
Dr. Patel’s technique and precision were outstanding. My healing was quick, and the results have been truly remarkable. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure about where to start, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Patel and his team at UK Kentucky Clinic. They treat you like a partner in your care, and their commitment to both medical excellence and patient support is unmatched.

Sep 4, 2025I had very bad damage above and below my eyes from decades of Allergies, Sinus infections that severely stretched out my skin causing severe swelling above my eyes and up to three bags and saggy under my eyes. I was so unhappy with my face, it looked horrible!! Being a very fit and active 60 year old who feels much younger than my appearance I began looking into getting my upper and lower eyes to look natural and youthful again. This desire and research led me to Dr. Amit Patel. I didn't want the fake Hollyweird surgery looking fake and not myself and when first meeting Dr. Patel I was immediately impressed with this person. He explained in detail what and how to repair my concerns, what he saw was necessary to achieve my needs to look youthful once again. After a few office visits the plan was set, upper and lower blepharoplasty, outer brow lift with fat transfer and he added fat to my Pre Jowl area with a little lipo at the Jowl. Dr Patel is an ARTIST, each line he drew on my face was with a vision he could see as if I were a painting he was refurbishing to making me once again a beautiful portrait !! My husband sat watching Dr Patel before the surgery and we both said we aren't nervous at all, Dr Patel is the most kind, caring person with his patients and we knew the results would be nothing less than perfect!!
How has your daily life improved since having surgery?
ANSWER:
My skin is tight all around my eyes and my vision is not impaired by the upper swelling pushing my eyelids downward to impede my vision. And my FACE LOOKS FABULOUS!!!!! I now feel and look much younger. Everyday I see improvement in my results of healing. Only 8 days after surgery and I am back at work, smiling and loving life with my refreshed face....I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!!!
What do you consider to be the most valuable aspect of your experience with us?
ANSWER:
the same kindness and care. The Patel Team with his guidance are WINNING!!!
If you’ve had experience with other Facial Plastic specialists, what sets us apart from them?
ANSWER:
This is the only procedure I have ever done in my life. However, I had consultations with other surgeons. The difference is Dr Patel, the man who takes time to listen, sincerely cares about you as a person not just a patient or next person in line. His bio and accomplishments are impressive but to meet, listen....I know all my TRUST is with this man and know he will do everything in his ability to make me back to myself....PERFECT, just what I dreamed he could do for me.
Would you recommend Patel Facial Plastic Surgery to a friend or relative? Why?
ANSWER:
Yes, I would highly recommend Dr Patel. I will say this over and over, his vision is that of an artist to see the results on your face before he preforms surgery. He turned back time on my face to how I looked 15 years ago per my husband and I am just 8 days out from my surgery....I can't wait to see my results daily and what I will be in the next six months of healing.
Photo taken the day my stitches were removed 7 days after surgery....AMAZING already!! No makeup just lip gloss LOL

Aug 29, 2025Back in January i had surgery to fix my breathing because my sister had broke my nose and i had a deviated septum. I scheduled the consultation myself with Dr.Patel and he explained what was wrong and how to fix it, so i eventually scheduled my surgery for January of this year. Right before my surgery Dr.Patel called me himself to tell me what time he would like me to arrive to the hospital, ive never had a doctor do this before and ive had surgery at a different hospital for a different issue before so it showed he actually cared. The day of surgery the whole team was amazing they actually cared about me the patient and nothing was done without me knowing. From the nurses to the anesthesia team everybody was so thorough with questions to make sure i had the best care possible. Dr.Patel even came in himself to explain how he was going to fix my nose so i could breathe again, he was not in a rush or anything so it made me feel better about having surgery. During my recovery his team texted me daily checking on me and having me send pictures so they could see how i was healing and how my pain was, ive never had that before so it was nice knowing they care about the patients recovery and dont just wait to see you in office. If i had any concerns i was able to talk to someone who re assured me everything was normal, they even offered to let me come in a few days before my appointment to be suctioned out but i chose to wait for my appointment. Recovery wasnt even bad i only had to take pain medicine the day of after i got home, and the fact you leave with your medicine vs other hospitals where you have to go to your home pharmacy to get your medicine was amazing. The little band thing i had to wear to keep the gauze on my nose started to rub my face so i just carried around tissues. The removal of the top 2 stents and the suctioning wasnt the best feeling but it wasnt horrible it was more just a awkward uncomfortable feeling but it was totally worth it after i realized i could finally breathe again. Normally by now i would have had multiple sinus infections but i have only had 2 and my breathing has improved so much, i dont feel stopped up like i used to. 10000/10 would recommend having surgery with Dr.Patel and his UK team it was the best decision ever and i will forever now have any surgery at UK.

Jun 17, 2025From start to finish, my experience with Dr. Patel and his staff was exceptional. I needed an upper blepharoplasty to improve my vision, and I was given the option of having the procedure at the hospital or in Dr. Patel’s office. I knew I wanted to avoid anesthesia, so the opportunity to have the procedure in the office was appealing to me. It was an easy and painless process, and my recovery has been completely free of discomfort. I am pleased with the result and am grateful to Dr. Patel and his staff for making the experience stress-free from start to finish.
