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.

With over four decades of experience, Dr. Kachare brings a profound depth of tenure to these advanced techniques.

What recent patients say
5.0 / 5 · 12 Google reviewsHIGHLY 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.
