Prasad Cosmetic Surgery & Medi-Spa

I can honestly say Dr. Prasad is the warmest doctor I’ve ever met. When I went to get Botox and PRP I was afraid because I’m really scared of needles and it was the simplest thing ever, his nurse staff talked me though it and it was over before I knew it. Dr. Prasad and his staff are very nice, honest and understanding. The atmosphere is very pleasant. If I do ever consider having any other procedures I would defiantly see him because I truly value his professional and artistic opinion.

scam,
made an consolation appointment on the phone, the person i spoke with said it’s a $ 100.00 fee
when i got there they asked me to pay $ 200.00, that tells me a lot about this practice,
just walked out his office as fast as i can, and by the way i strongly believe all the good reviews you see here was made up by him or his rude staff, do yourself a favor skip this one

[NOTE: In response to one of the bad reviews, I don’t know why every eff-​tard who leaves a bad review about a doctor accuses the good reviewers of being «the staff and employees». First off, I work in consulting. Secondly, you didn’t like your experience, FINE! I did and so did a lot of other people. Also a $ 200-​$ 250 appointment fee is practically universal and quite standard for NYC cosmetic surgery and it always gets counted toward the costs of any procedure.]
This review is about one of several procedures I’ve had done over the past year with Dr. Prasad. Because this is a rather lengthy review I will list them quickly here and then get into more details below: eyelid ptosis (drooping) repair, blepharoplasty, botox, and A-​Cell PRP hair restoration. For any of these, Dr. Prasad and his clinic gets my unequivocal recommendation.
Eyelid Ptosis (drooping) Repair: I used to have a slightly drooping eyelid, a progressive condition which was barely noticeable but would have become an issue later on in life. So I decided to deal with it preemptively. I started by doing my homework and medical consultations. Before I came to Dr. Prasad, I had consulted with two other board certified cosmetic surgeons, one of them was an oculofacial plastic surgeon like Dr. P (specialty in the area around the eyes). In addition, I also consulted with two OTHER doctors via email, one an oculofacial surgeon and the other an ophthalmologist. In the end, based on a number of factors such as experience, competence, trust, conservativeness of approach, I went with Dr. Prasad and I am truly glad I did. The drooping was corrected in both eyes and I healed up very nicely. Even just a few months post-​operatively, you can see no sign of incisions and I look much more awake and refreshed.
Blepharoplasty: Six months after my ptosis repair which corrected the drooping, I returned to Dr. Prasad with a request to remove some excess skin on my right upper eyelid. The goal was to achieve a nice symmetry in my eyes (this one you could technically chalk up to vanity but you wouldn’t be reading this if you yourself weren’t considering something like this lol). So once again, I went under the knife, and healed up quickly. It was a simple procedure in my case, I had it done on a Friday and was back in the office on Monday. It’s still only 3 – 4 months post-​operatively, everything looks good but you need to wait about 6 months before one can really judge. I’d also like to state that Dr. P’s staff was exceedingly helpful and available throughout both my ptosis repair and bleph. I was nervous during the first procedure, but not at all the second time, mainly because I trust these guys. Also, Dr. P is really nice and takes the time to answer any questions.
Botox: With this one, I was dating a dermatologist at the time and she had done Botox herself (by one of her med school classmates hah!) and even offered it to me for my forehead and crowsfeet. I kept putting it off though for a variety of reasons. In the end, we stopped seeing each other before I could take her up on her free Botox offer (doh!). At any rate, I asked a couple of Dr. Prasad’s staff about it and they both recommended it highly. That’s the cool thing about Prasad Cosmetic Surgery: many of the staff have had the same procedures you might be considering which enables them to speak from personal experience. So I got some Botox just to see what all the fuss is about and I’m actually really glad I did. It truly does make you look younger and more rested. Dr. Prasad is conservative in his approach and doesn’t use too much so you don’t have to worry about looking weird after.
A-​Cell-​PRP Hair Restoration: As of this update, I am 7 months after the procedure and there is definitely regrowth in the crown and my hair looks thicker. I was never bald or balding. HOWEVER, some of my hair is/​was getting thin and falling out. Even though I seem to have inherited my hair from my mother’s side of the family, my father did lose most of his hair. So, I did the A-​Cell– PRP hair restoration as a form of «hair insurance». Again several of men working at Dr. Prasad’s office have done it and rave about it. I understand why. I no longer see hair follicles falling out in my sink and my scalp is not really visible from my crown. I still have a couple of hair grotth cycles to go before I see the full results but so far, I’m very happy. (You can even see the photo I uploaded.)
All in all, I have had nothing but the best experience as a patient of Dr. Prasad and his clinic.

I had bought a LivingSocial deal for laser hair removal for Prasad. It was my first time getting anything lasered off, and I was able to make my first appointment pretty easily (unfortunately not able to do it online which was annoying — you actually have to talk to a live person).
I wish I had done some research on what I should have done to prep the areas for laser hair removal as I wasn’t told anything (and the woman who made the appointment with me wasn’t forthcoming with any info), and when I arrived the day of my first appointment, I had to dry shave the area (ouch!)!
The facilities were really nice (nicer than other med spa’s I’ve been to), and the waiting room was full of other folks. The technician who did my first session was a super sweet woman who put me instantly at ease (which was nice since I was so nervous going in)!
The session only took about 10 minutes, and I was able to make an appointment for my 2^nd session as I was leaving. All in all, a good experience — I just wish I knew what «prep» should’ve been done before hand. Now (after much googling) I’m educated enough for my 2^nd session!
