I had many lines and wrinkles under my eyes. To my surprise, a plastic surgeon in California where I live, told me that he couldn't do what I wanted. Dr. Gupta examined me and told me what I wanted would be no problem at all. I rate my results and satisfaction with Dr. Gupta's work at the best level. I am so cheerful I came to New York for this surgery.

Blepharoplasty derives from the Greek words "blepharon" and "plasm" meaning eyelid repair. Baggy, droopy eyelids are a very noticeable sign of aging and can add years to our appearance. Blepharoplasty is a procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower lids to provide a refreshed look and take years off the face.
The position of our brows is influenced by genetics, sun exposure, gravity, and facial expressions. Heavy, droopy brows not only add age to the face but can also cause headaches, deep forehead lines, or compromised vision from weighing down the eyelids. Thus, a brow lifting procedure may be beneficial to open up the eyes or alleviate lines.
Many people suffer from under eye darkness and/or hollowness for which no lotion or potion works to any appreciable degree. The causes are multifactorial, including age-related volume loss and gravitational descent of the cheeks and midface, creating an empty space between the eyes and cheeks (called tear trough deformity); chronic inflammation in allergy sufferers (e.g.
Botox and Dysport are both FDA approved neuromodulators that work by preventing muscle contraction and thereby relaxing unwanted lines that add age and fatigue to our faces. The injections are given directly into the muscle and can improve forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet, bunny lines on nose, lip lines, a down-turned or gummy smile, droopy brows, a dimpled chin, a square jaw (masseter muscle), and platysmal neck bands. Improvement is initially noted 2-3 days after injection but may take up to 2 weeks for full effect.
Dr. Gupta is committed to applying current research to provide the best and safest modalities to retard and reverse early to moderate hair loss in men and women. Platelet Rich Plasma therapy (PRP) is derived from the patient's own blood serum. This therapy has been FDA approved and employed for over 30 years for advanced wound healing and joint restoration.

I would like to preface this by saying that Dr. Lopa Gupta, quite literally, saved my life. I had spent the majority of my 30's by myself and indoors. I rarely left my apartment, did not allow my picture to be taken, and hardly saw any friends and most importantly my family. I was horribly insecure about my Xanthalsma, but was clueless about this condition and all that it entails.
High cholesterol is prevalent in my family, but I never knew that the build-up around my eyes was caused by my cholesterol levels. At the time, I had been undergoing IV antibiotic treatments for Chronic Lyme Disease, so I chalked it up to side effects from the amount of antibiotics I was being treated with daily. Boy, was I wrong and very much uninformed.
I WISH that I knew then how important it was to see Dr Lopa Gupta right away, which was the first moment I began to see the growths. The longer I waited, the worse they grew, becoming larger and more prevalent around both upper and lower eyelids. I put off doing anything about it because it seemed so hard to find anyone that could get rid of the Xanthalasma permanently.
After approximately 6 years of not seeing my family or having a social life, I met with my Endocrinologist and discussed THE best way to cure this condition and have the growths removed completely. I had just turned 40 and was ready to begin my life again and needed some help. My doctor told me how important it was to see a surgeon, rather than a dermatologist, to learn about the removal process.
She informed me that a surgeon would strategically plan the timeframe needed and proceed in a manner that no matter how time consuming, would remove all of the cholesterol deposits both visible AND hidden under the skin, with the goal and hope that the deposits would not come back. After doing extensive research online, I came across Dr. Gupta's website and it was actually the first time I had ever seen a specific description of Xanthalasma and the process of correcting it, with visuals.
It immediately made me feel like I understood the process more completely and I immediately called to schedule a consultation. For the first time in a very long time, following my first consultation with Dr. Gupta, I felt hope that I could return back to myself and my life. She was so professional, genuine, kind and caring. She made me feel extremely comfortable and explained exactly what would be needed to achieve best possible results in a way that I could easily understand, without fear of the process.
She was patient and very generous with her time, never looking to rush me out, or treat me like "just a number". I left her office knowing she would be the one to "save my life". Her bedside manner and the way she and her staff care for their patients is so warm, loving, comforting and appreciated. I was able to see the incredible results within just a few short weeks, and I am now on my 3rd follow-up session to complete the entire process that will ensure successful results.
In summary, the surgery was painless and I felt at ease and cared for the entire time. Every step was explained to me and no question I asked felt unnecessary or went unanswered. Dr. Gupta and her entire staff made me feel so comfortable. Dr. Gupta's experience is unparalleled and her years of crafting her technique has allowed her to become a true artist in her specific field. She takes tremendous pride in her work!

Just want to say Dr Gupta is the nicest and kindest doctor I have ever met in my life! I visited her yesterday for lower bleph and festoon repair all the way from the UK. I was so nervous but the whole thing was painless and actually I really enjoyed going there to get it done! The girls there are so lovely and they talked to me throughout the whole procedure.
After the procedure they then applied a tape to prevent swelling and gave me a bag full of aftercare products. The clinic itself is also immaculate and luxurious and they will provide you with a VIP service. I have been suffering with this problem for two years following filler injection somewhere else and I had been told by multiple doctors that there was no cure.
I will put an update of my results at a later date but im now just enjoying my time in new york with minimal swelling and no pain! Will be defo back all the time now to see Dr Gupta as she offers a wide range of amazing treatments! I would defo say you can 1000000% put your trust in this lovely lady as she has an eye for perfection and detail! xx

I consulted 4 other surgeons before I finally decided to go with Dr Gupta. I felt very comfortable with her approach to my under eye procedure ( which was different from the other consultations I received) and her staff just made me feel at ease. I was not rushed or pushed into any decisions. My procedure was so smooth and I did not feel nervous or any pain. All around a 1st class experience. Today is day 1 of my procedure. I'm so excited to see the final results.

Firstable, my respect to Dr. Gupta and staff, from the first time you make an appointment over the phone it was a wonderful experience. Dr. Gupta is really a special Doctor she really cares in helping the patients that go to her for surgeries or revisions. She is really professional and kind and listen to your needs and if she can't help you she will be honest and tell you.
I am beyond grateful beause after having 7 unsuccesful surgeries with incompetent doctors( certificates stating they are the best) I found her and she was able to correct the bad surgeries with professionalism and I could tell she won't do something if she wasn't able to fix it. Amazed with the results. I recommend Dr Gupta and she deserves more than 5 stars!

I LOVE Dr. Gupta and her team! They are incredibly professional and exceptionally talented. From the beginning, I have always felt comfortable with Dr. Gupta and wholeheartedly trusted her recommendations. I love her her conservative approach and expertise when it comes to preserving a "natural" look. I recommend her to all of my friends and will never see anyone else!

Dr. Gupta is NOT a plastic surgeon. She likes to tell you she can do anything. She can not! She performed surgery on me, promised me it would be fine and I would not be able to see any scars. Could not be further from the truth. The procedure in fact made it worse. The scarring is simply Ugly and in the wrong place making it more prominent. It is very visible.
I had awful results. I have seen 2 specialists in the field and they both told me she deviated from normal procedure. I look in the mirror every day and cry. She ruined my looks permanently. I am a professional woman and a real patient and if her staff writes otherwise they are lying. Everything about her office is sugarcoated, please know what your getting into and get a second opinion.
She really does not care about her patients only about the money they represent. Many of her reviews are written by her staff so please heed caution. There are many great doctors in NY, please find one.

A very nice woman, professional practice, but unfortunately, I was left with a fold in 1 eye that she could not correct despite her saying numerous times "I can fix anything". She couldn't. She tried several injections to break up the supposed scar tissue and would not re-cut the eye to correct it. I also picked up an infection from filler injections I got, but I guess you could argue that I could have picked up an infection anywhere, but it was right at the surgical site.

About 4 years ago, at age 41, I began to develop the most difficult kind of festoons - some loose skin, but also severe malar/cheek edema. It was in part genetic -several family members have aged this way. However it was aggravated by tear trough fillers I had done 5 years ago, and in addition to the festoons I had an odd lump under my left eye which was almost certainly due to the filler. Zero fat pad prolapse - that wasn't my problem.
I did CO2 laser resurfacing for the excess skin. - it definitely helped, but the malar edema persisted, and I looked 55 years old, not 44. I consulted with seven (7) plastic surgeons in my hometown. Most recommended a) transconjuctival lower bleph and/or b) more filler. A couple of them (very much to their credit) told me they couldn't help me at all - malar edema being notoriously difficult to treat.
A shocking couple of them mis-identified my problem as fat pad prolapse, even though bags were mostly down on my cheeks. I then flew to NY to see Dr. Gupta. At my consultation with Dr Gupta, she listened very closely to my explanations, looked very closely at pictures I brought to the consultation, thoroughly/directly examined my eyes from multiple angles, and asked a ton of questions (eg, "what happens to them when you get on a plane?").
I was clear with her that I had no tolerance for over-correction (I don't need to look 15 years younger. I just wanted to look great for 44, but most importantly still look like myself). In turn, she was very clear with me on possible outcomes - this is not a layup, which is why many surgeons won't do at all. She set very realistic expectations, and I chose her with confidence. Dr Gupta did not disappoint.
I had open lower bleph and direct festoon excision. Painless, excellent experience in office. And most importantly I look great two months later. Like myself, but better. Scars aren't invisible just yet but still even with open procedures I looked great by 30 days, and even better at 60. Her staff is also fantastic. They explained everything, answered my incessant questions patiently and knowledgeably, made the whole process seamless, and kept my husband comfortable and informed as he waited for me. Highly recommend.

I went to Dr. Gupta for a cosmetic procedure. I cannot say enough about her. Not only is she kind and gentle, but having worked for doctors for many years, I have never met a more honest physician. She can do many things, but will never do something just for money if she feels you do not need it. I love that about her. I have sent numerous friends & family members to her & everyone loves her work, her demeanor and how she cares for you.
She is blessed with a skill and works like an artist. Patients in her waiting room all discuss how happy they are with their results. Right now my brother is having treatment for hair loss with her and the results are amazing. I am so grateful to have her as a doctor and you will be more than pleased too. Rita P.
