Dr. Kachare'S PERSPECTIVES

AI-assisted profile summary
natural-lookingindividualizedrestored-contours

Signature technique

Dr. Kachare's signature technique centers on the deep plane facelift, a sophisticated procedure designed to reposition the deeper facial tissue layers rather than merely tightening the skin's surface. This method addresses the SMAS, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, by releasing and lifting this foundational layer to restore natural facial contours without creating a "pulled" appearance. His practice also extends to deep neck lift procedures and extended variations of the deep plane facelift, which are recognized as among the more technically demanding operations in facial plastic surgery. With over four decades of experience, Dr. Kachare brings a profound depth of tenure to these advanced techniques.

Recovery view

Dr. Kachare emphasizes that recovery from a deep plane facelift is a pivotal aspect of patient discussions, given the procedure's focus on deeper tissue layers and its distinct healing timeline. He integrates the process of setting realistic expectations into the surgical journey itself, ensuring patients are well-informed about what to anticipate post-procedure. This approach underscores his commitment to patient education, acknowledging that a clear understanding of the recovery phase is crucial for optimal outcomes and patient satisfaction. He ensures that individuals are prepared for the healing process, which is inherent to the comprehensive nature of deep plane facial rejuvenation.

Who is a candidate

His philosophy prioritizes results tailored to the individual, rather than a standardized look.

His clinical scope includes the deep plane facelift, a technique that repositions the deeper facial tissue layers rather than simply tightening skin. This distinction matters for patients seeking natural-looking rejuvenation.

With more than four decades in practice, Dr. Kachare belongs to a generation of surgeons who trained before minimally invasive facial surgery became widely marketed. That depth of tenure shapes how he approaches facial aging.

Dr. Kachare's practice, Nayak Plastic Surgery, is positioned as a double-board-certified team offering procedures across the face, breast, and body. The center also operates Avani Derm Spa for non-surgical treatments.

His facial work focuses on the deep plane facelift and extended variations, alongside deep neck lift procedures. These are among the more technically demanding operations in facial plastic surgery.

The deep plane facelift addresses the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin). By releasing and lifting this layer, surgeons aim to restore facial contours without a pulled appearance.

Dr. Kachare's approach reflects a preference for results that suit the individual patient rather than a single standardized look. This philosophy appears consistently across the practice's published materials.

His surgical menu extends beyond the face to include rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), brow lifts, fat transfer, and facial implants. This breadth allows for combined facial rejuvenation planning.

Dr. Kachare also performs body procedures, including liposuction, tummy tuck, and breast enhancement surgery. Many of his patients arrive seeking a single procedure and discover complementary options during consultation.

St. Louis, the setting for his practice, is a Midwestern American city known for its medical institutions and accessible cost of living relative to coastal hubs. It serves a broad regional patient base across Missouri and neighboring states.

Dr. Kachare's tenure of forty-plus years positions him well above the local average experience level among St. Louis deep plane facelift surgeons. This longevity is a notable data point for patients weighing surgeon selection.

His educational content appears across interviews and video platforms, including discussions of surgical practice models and technique. He has spoken publicly under the banner "I love plastics," reflecting a career-long engagement with the field.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift is a central part of Dr. Kachare's patient conversations, since the procedure involves deeper tissue work and a defined healing timeline. Setting realistic expectations is treated as part of the surgical process.

Patients considering Dr. Milind Kachare typically value the combination of long experience, board certification, and a comprehensive facial and body surgical menu under one practice roof in St. Louis.

HIGHLY recommend! I told him I wanted natural looking breasts that suited me and he delivered. Not too big not too small, everyone thinks they’re mine naturally and they are TWINS. His attention to detail is amazing. He is also very professional and is great at caring for patients even after surgery. I am almost two years out and he still answers my questions professionally and in a timely manner 10/10.

When picking my surgeon, I wanted someone that would help me achieve my aesthetic goals (I did not really want anyone to be able to fully tell that I had had a breast augmentation). During the whole process, Dr. Kachare is attentive, realistic, and calming. He is brilliant, but is able to fully explain the science and rationale behind his interventions in a simplistic and easily understandable manner. I felt 100% comfortable and assured from my consultation through my post-op journey. He is truly an artist in the OR. I am SO excited about my results- NATURAL and beautiful. I would recommend him to anyone considering breast augmentation- not only does he truly listen to his patients; he truly cares.

I recently had a breast lift with implants and I am OBSESSED WITH THEM! I love sharing my results (flashing my friends) and I can’t wait for bikini season! The best part is not having to wear a bra for those certain outfits where a bra just doesn’t work! Not only is Dr. Kachare a talented surgeon, he’s also a really kind and fun person! I felt totally comfortable with him. He has an incredible eye for detail and exceeded my expectations! I have the pleasure of working with him in the operating room, and I’m consistently amazed by the work he does! Book the consult!!

My breast augmentation with lift was under 3 weeks ago and I want to implore anyone who is considering, to get a consultation with Dr. Kachare. From the first initial consultation to my most recent follow up a couple days ago, I can confidently say that Dr. Kachare and the OR staff were extremely thorough through the entire process. I felt comfortable, heard, and safe with this team from beginning to end. His professionalism, passion, and dedication to giving you exceptional care and results is simply outstanding and I can’t be more grateful. Thank you Dr. Kachare!

Dr. Kachare's Surgical Approach

Dr. Milind Kachare approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the skin surface at the level of the SMAS, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system that supports the muscles and soft tissue of the face.

Dr. Milind Kachare approaches the deep plane facelift by working beneath the skin surface at the level of the SMAS, the superficial musculoaponeurotic system that supports the muscles and soft tissue of the face. This deeper technique differs from older skin-only facelifts.

In a deep plane facelift, the surgeon performs sub-SMAS dissection, meaning the release occurs under this connective tissue layer rather than above it. This allows the cheek, jawline, and midface to be repositioned as a single unit.
