What Is a Facelift?

Dr. Chopra’s approach to facelift surgery is about a lot more than simply addressing your surface-level cosmetic concerns and sending you on your way. As an esteemed facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Chopra takes a holistic approach to his work, collaborating closely with his patients to create impressively comprehensive results. By addressing the visible signs of aging and the underlying structures that contribute to the overall appearance of your face, Dr. Chopra can help you enjoy your ideal results and create a truly enhanced sense of facial harmony. Dr. Chopra utilizes incisions strategically placed within the hairline and natural shadow zones of the face. This meticulous placement ensures that scars heal seamlessly, resembling light reflexes or anatomical transitions rather than noticeable marks.

Our commitment to exceptional scar healing is a fundamental rule at Chopra Plastic Surgery, ensuring that your facelift results in a beautifully rejuvenated appearance without visible scarring. During your pre-operative consultation, Dr. Chopra will answer any questions you might have and will explain his surgical technique in detail. The facelift is primarily aimed at lifting and repositioning facial structures that have started to sag or droop as a part of the aging process while also addressing the presence of excess or unwanted skin. As a result, you’ll be able to show the world a lifted and more youthful look, with results that subtly enhance your appearance without making it clear you’ve undergone the procedure.

Dr. Chopra’s Surgical Approach

Dr. Chopra’s approach to facelift surgery focuses on relieving tension on the tissues at multiple levels—including the skin, SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System), and underlying muscles. By meticulously addressing these layers, he ensures that the facial rejuvenation is natural-looking and long-lasting. This technique prevents the common issues of unnatural over-pulling, early recurrence, and sagging that can occur with traditional facelift methods. Few surgeons can reliably and safely achieve this comprehensive tension relief, setting Dr. Chopra apart as a true leader in the field. As a true expert in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Chopra is able to offer you a variety of techniques. Each approach to the facelift procedure creates subtly different results, enabling you to address your cosmetic concerns with a high level of agility and precision. During your consultation, Dr. Chopra will get to know your aesthetic goals before talking you through the various techniques that might create your ideal results.

The SMAS Facelift Techniques

Sometimes also known as the mini facelift, the SMAS facelift technique involves carefully sculpting the SMAS layer, a layer of tissues that is also known as the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System. By targeting the deeper layers of tissue and muscle beneath your skin, Dr. Chopra is able to offer a more profound and longer-lasting sense of cosmetic transformation. 

Learn More about the SMAS Facelift

The Deep Plane Facelift

A slightly more extensive procedure, the deep plane facelift rejuvenates and restores your face’s youthful contours by tightening or removing any excess or sagging skin that may be present while also replenishing facial volume that may have been lost in the mid-cheek area. After your recovery is complete, you’ll enjoy a lifted, firmer facial appearance with a youthful sense of facial harmony.

The Revision Facelift Rectifying Others' Mistakes

The decision to undergo a facelift procedure is by no means a minor one. This can make it especially devastating to learn that you’re less than thrilled with the results of your previous facelift operation. If you’ve had a suboptimal experience with another practitioner, Dr. Chopra is here to help.

The revision facelift is designed to correct any mistakes or missteps made by a previous practitioner…whether this means simply making a minor adjustment or creating more significant revisions to their work, Dr. Chopra will ensure that you’re able to enjoy the cosmetic outcome you know you deserve.

Understandably, this procedure is highly customizable, and is never performed in the same way twice. Dr. Chopra will work with you to develop a surgical plan that addresses the issues caused by your previous facelift and connect you with the results that you were hoping to achieve with the initial procedure.

Facelift Recovery

Our comprehensive recovery plan includes a one-week period of social downtime, allowing your body ample time to heal without the pressures of daily obligations. We utilize dissolvable sutures to eliminate the need for removal and provide Tylenol-level pain management to ensure your comfort. For out-of-town patients, we offer an optional caretaker service at no additional charge, where a dedicated team member assists you from the surgery center to your accommodation, ensuring you have all the support you need during your initial recovery phase.

To further enhance your surgical experience and minimize complications, we employ advanced techniques such as the use of a hemostatic net—a temporary suture placed for three days to significantly reduce the risk of hematoma formation. Additionally, we administer tranexamic acid (TXA), a proven agent in the medical literature, to reduce bruising and expedite your overall recovery. These meticulous measures ensure that your facelift not only looks exceptional but also heals efficiently and comfortably.

A truly life-changing experience from start to finish.

LOVE the work Dr Karan Chopra has done on me! I’ve seen him 3x so far on procedures and he’s so attention to detail! My next procedure is a facelift and buccal fat pad removal and I am soooooo excited! I don’t see myself going to anyone else LITERALLY. I met him in Minnesota while he was in Minneapolis. Now he’s in Miami. So on my last procedure I actually traveled to him. And I will contin...

Had a very good experience with Dr. Chopra and his office. Everyone was very approachable and respectful, they do a good job of making you feel comfortable and working with you to the best of your needs. They don’t try to swindle you at all or try to entice you to get more than you truly need which I truly respect.

Austin W.

I can’t say enough on how the Blepharoplasty surgery from Dr. Chopra has made me feel. But I can say he is an Awesome Doctor all the way around (I am pursuing a Helicopter Pilot career) & when I went to my post-op appointment; He stated “ You look like a Pilot!” Such a Genuine Soul & Blessed to have had him above the knife.

Renee T.

I had a procedure with Dr Chopra and I cannot express enough how impressed I was with him, his entire staff, and even with the pharmacy that they use. I’ve had other surgeries in the past from other doctors and once the procedure is done you don’t hear from them at all, you just show up on your follow up appointment, but not Dr Chopra office! I received many phone calls, and text messages from them pra...

My experience with Dr. Karan Chopra has been exceptional. From his warm staff of Sarah, Margarita and Shaebly all answering my questions and guiding me every step of the way.

This is Linda , from our first interview on the phone until my procedure was completed.

After undergoing a mommy makeover, which included a tummy tuck, lipo360, and a breast reduction and lift with Dr. Karan Chopra, I am thrilled with my results and the entire experience.

Ashley D.

I have been waiting for years to move forward with surgery, but was always reluctant because I hadn't found the right doctor.  Last month I finally met with Dr. Chopra and he immediately made me feel at ease. I was also confident in his abilities as you can clearly see he's talented from the before and after pictures of his patients. The surgery went amazing and I couldn't be happier with my results.

Thank you Dr. Chopra.

Rosanna V.

Dr.Chopra did 2 different surgeries for me and it’s been 6 months now and I couldn’t be happier! The amount of self confidence I have now is far beyond my expectations. I got a breast augmentation and I had a picture of what I wanted. I showed Dr.Chopra the picture and he picked the size and shape of implant. I was scared and second guessing the decision even up to the day of surgery. However, Chopra m...

Dr. Chopra did an amazing job with my forehead reduction. I was worried at first because I’m a black male and I’ve been told this procedure can be complicated for my race.

Dr. Karan Chopra is a very skilled and attentive surgeon with a fantastic team!
To all my fellow mother’s out there, you do not have to simply accept the loose skin, stretch marks, and abdominal separation.  For years I was told that it’s just part of being a mother that some women have to accept.  That’s not true!
After having my boys, I was NOT one of the lucky ones whose sk...

Gloria M.

I was looking for great doctors' references online to get my neck and facelift. Mainly must doctors have good reviews. What really convinced me to choose Dr. Chopra was his academic background and excellent qualifications. His bedside manners are unique. He really takes great care in making this process smooth, pleasant, and gentle.

Elizabeth V.

I am amazed at the results. Dr Choprah and his team go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. His work is the best I have seen and the experience matched. I cannot say enough about the kindness and care that goes into every patient. I interviewed 5 other Dr's before Dr Choprah and I am so grateful that I made the right choice. I am truly grateful and feel that we are all family.

Jennifer J.

Dr. Karan Chopra makes you feel at home and safe. Unlike other surgeons he actually cares for his patients, I had schedule surgery with other Miami doctors which do not even come close to the service, hospitality and love you feel at his office. His staff is absolutely wonderful! Hands down BEST surgeon in Miami!

Why Choose Dr. Chopra for Your Facelift Treatment in Miami?

When considering a medical professional for any procedure, it’s important to seek out a true cosmetic professional who combines technical expertise with a warm, personable bedside manner. This is precisely what you get when you choose Dr. Chopra. He is a Johns Hopkins-trained board-certified plastic surgeon. Many patients don’t realize this, but a surgeon does not have to be board-certified to perform facial plastic surgery. As a result, many patients end up choosing practitioners who do not have the same level of experience as other facelift surgeons who are board-certified. Choosing Dr. Chopra means working with a practitioner who offers you the following:

  • 10+ years of experience
  • 500+ happy patients
  • 300+ five-star reviews
  • An extensive level of training

A Board-Certified Expert

Board-certified plastic surgeons like Dr. Chopra meet the following criteria:

  • They must have at least six years of surgical training
  • A board-certified surgeon has completed a mandatory, accredited plastic surgery training program.
  • Dr. Chopra was required to perform thousands of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery procedures involving various types of surgery.
  • Board-certified plastic surgeons need to pass rigorous written and oral examinations.
  • They must commit to continuing education throughout their careers.
  • Dr. Chopra engages in regular assessments to maintain his board certification status.

As you can see, choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon is the way to go if you want to enjoy the most ideal possible results from your facelift in Miami.

Frequently Asked Questions Facelift

Who makes a good candidate for facelift and neck lift procedures?

Generally, the facelift is ideal for any individual who might be looking for a way to address the signs of aging or to enhance their overall sense of facial harmony. Dr. Chopra understands that every patient comes with a set of cosmetic concerns that are as unique as they are, so he’ll be sure to attain a clear understanding of the results you’re hoping to achieve with your facelift procedure and help you decide whether or not it’s the right choice for you.

How long does a facelift procedure take?

The duration of the surgery depends on the extent of your personalized treatment plan. Most facelifts take between three and five hours to complete, depending on the exact approach Dr. Chopra will use, and whether or not he will be performing any complementary procedures, like the eyelid lift, lip lift, facial fat transfer, or chin implant placement.

Is there any downtime after the procedure?

Yes: You will experience some minor swelling and bruising for up to two weeks. Keeping your head elevated while you sleep will help you effectively minimize any discomfort and accelerate the healing process. We’ll make sure that you’re given detailed post-operative care instructions and a clear timeline of the recovery process before your procedure. Dr. Chopra will be sure to schedule follow-up appointments after your surgery so he can ensure that you’re healing comfortably, and our team will be available to you at all times during your recovery process.

Is the facelift procedure painful?

In addition to offering all forms of anesthesia, Dr. Chopra is renowned for performing deep-plane facelifts without the need for general anesthesia. By utilizing advanced local anesthesia techniques combined with oral sedation, we eliminate the discomfort associated with IVs and reduce the risks of nausea and vomiting that often accompany general anesthesia. This approach ensures a painless and comfortable surgical experience without compromising your safety or the quality of your results.
