Dr. Anup Patel and his team performed upper and lower eyelid surgery to rejuvenate my eyes. Years of sitting in front of a computer screen rubbing my eyes to relieve the strain had caused the eyelids to sag, reducing my field of vision. The under-eye bags looked terrible.
At 64, the stresses of life had caught up with me and I finally had to do something about it.

I decided to make the hour and twenty-minute drive from Ocala to Orlando to see Dr. Patel. This is why.
Dr. Patel, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who completed his MD/MBA degrees at Yale University, received his plastic surgery training at Yale followed by a fellowship in hand and microsurgery at NY University and Mount Sinai. Dr. Patel is the guy who Tonight Show host, Jimmy Fallon thanked on national TV for saving his finger when he almost lost it.
Good stuff, but the clincher-Orlando Plastic Surgery affords an exceptional experience where you get TWO Board certified surgeons- one from plastic surgery, and one from ophthalmology. I received the finest, optimal care for my upper and lower eyelids and brow. Dr. Patel collaborates with Dr. Chirag J. Patel (not related)who is a Board-certified Ophthalmologist Specialist.
With Dr. Patel’s brilliant surgical skills, an ophthalmologist who specializes in the anatomy around the eyes [functioning of the eye lids, fat pads around the eyes, as well as the numerous muscles around the eyes] and an anesthesiologist who is a liver transplant/cardiothoracic medical doctor, I was in great hands.
My reattachment of the upper eye lid muscles was not initially part of the “my plan” but it is a testament to Dr. Patel’s devotion to his patient’s care and to the best possible outcome for them. He also included fillers around the lower part of my eyes to make me look more youthful. He contacted me after the surgery several times to ensure everything was ok. This personal touch was much appreciated and was another indication of how much he cares for his patients. Dr. Patel and his team made me feel like I was part of their family from the first phone call. Danielle is Dr. Patel’s surgical nurse. She is knowledgeable and funny. After my surgery another caring nurse, Shannon took excellent care to ensure all was well with me post op.
Also, Dr. Patel has established “Cosmetic Saturday”. Many of his patients are high profile patients who cannot afford to take time off. Saturday offers a unique approach. One of the best things about the Cosmetic Saturdays is the privacy. I arrived early morning& was the only patient there. Talk about privacy and undivided attention!
I cannot express how professional and genuinely caring Dr. Patel and his team are. I would highly recommend Dr. Patel and his team for their professionalism and the “care” they provided. Not only was it a privilege and honor to meet all of these caring people, but my wife says I look years younger. And you know, I feel younger. Just wish I had done this simple surgery years ago. Guess I was waiting for the impressive Patel Team.
