A lot has changed since then in the world of plastic surgery, and today, a strikingly natural-looking and completely comprehensive facelift is possible. Using the DEFINE Lift Rancho Mirage patients can eliminate signs of aging from the forehead all the way down to the neck in just one transformative procedure.

What is a DEFINE Lift?

The DEFINE Lift technique is a custom-built collection of facial rejuvenation procedures that are performed together in order to achieve an incredibly natural-looking, youthful result. This method was created by Dr. Chopra and provides patients with a stunningly comprehensive outcome. DEFINE means:

Extended Deep Plane Facelift

An extended deep plane facelift can address signs of aging, including wrinkles and sagging skin all the way from the neck up through the cheeks, in contrast to a standard deep plane, which stops around the jawline. This facelift technique produces an extremely natural result because adjustments are made deep down in the tissue, and the muscles and skin are moved as one unit so that excess tension is not placed on the skin alone.

Neck Lift

Using incisions under the chin and near the ears, the neck lift can provide a youthful appearance for the jawline and below. This part of the DEFINE Lift can eliminate neck wrinkles, jowls, turkey neck, and even neck banding.

Brow Lift

Most facelift procedures do not address anything above the cheek area, but the DEFINE Lift in Rancho Mirage includes a brow lift to brighten and elevate the eyes. Typically, an incision is made along the hairline, and then the forehead is lifted, lessening the appearance of wrinkles and drooping eyebrows.

DEFINE Lift FAQs

Will I need someone to drive me home after a DEFINE Lift?

Yes, you will need someone to drive you home, and it's best to have someone with you for about 24 hours after surgery while the effects of the anesthesia wear off.

How long is DEFINE Lift recovery?

After your DEFINE Lift Rancho Mirage patients usually take two to three weeks to recover, which may be longer than recovery from a standard facelift. However, the advantage is that patients only have to go through a single recovery period since multiple procedures are rolled into one surgery.

What are the risks associated with a DEFINE Lift?

Some side effects of surgery will likely include swelling and mild pain or discomfort. Rare but serious risks include infection, excessive bleeding, or unexpected numbness in the face. Dr. Chopra offers three Morpheus8 sessions to enhance skin tone and texture, as well as a skincare consultation for a medical-grade skincare routine that can help you achieve long-lasting results.

How long do the results of a DEFINE Lift last?

For most patients, excellent results are visible for about 10 to 15 years.

How much does a DEFINE Lift cost?
