His approach involves meticulously repositioning the deeper facial tissues, specifically the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), rather than merely tightening the skin. This method is crucial for achieving results that are both natural-looking and exceptionally long-lasting, addressing the root causes of facial aging. Dr. Chopra's expertise in this advanced technique positions him as a key specialist in the Upper Midwest, offering comprehensive facial rejuvenation that aims for profound and harmonious transformations for his patients.

What recent patients say
4.9 / 5 · 343 Google reviews3.5 months post op. Amazing Results! Natural and exactly how I wanted. Travelled from out of state and was extremely scared. My advice would be to have realistic expectations, ask hard questions before surgery and Dr. Chopra will deliver exactly what you want. This was the best thing. So so happy
After six months of thorough research, choosing Dr. Chopra was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. His work speaks for itself—his before-and-after results are consistently stunning—but what truly set him apart for me is his level of specialization. He performs facelifts every single day, often two a day. That level of focus and repetition matters. I wanted a surgeon who has mastered this procedure, not someone who occasionally fits it in between other surgeries. From the moment I arrived, I knew I was in the right hands. Not only did he deliver incredible results on my face and neck, but he also created an environment where I felt completely safe and cared for. His facility is top-tier, and his team is attentive, professional, and detail-oriented every step of the way. One thing that truly stood out was his level of care after surgery. My procedure was on a Friday, and naturally, I was a bit anxious about going into the weekend. But Dr. Chopra personally called me both Saturday and Sunday to check on me. That meant everything. It’s rare to find that level of dedication and genuine concern. For me, safety, exceptional results, and a high standard of care were non-negotiable—and he exceeded all of my expectations. There may be no shortage of plastic surgeons in California, but there is only one Dr. Chopra. That’s why I chose to fly to Miami, and I would make the same decision again without hesitation. I’m beyond grateful to Dr. Chopra and his entire team for making this such an incredible experience.
I want to share my experience at the Chopra Spa.I had a comprehensive facial treatment. Including extraction, a peeling, microneedling and much more. The heavenly experience took approximately 2 1/2 hours with Elisa. She was very knowledgeable and caring. Actually, all the staff members in the office are very professional, friendly and caring as well. The passion for their work is evident .... Sophia, John, Alejandro, Danielle, Sarah, and of course Dr. Chopra!!
One month after my face and neck lift, I couldn’t be happier with the results. My face looks natural, refreshed, and very well-balanced—exactly what I hoped for. The healing process was smooth, and the care and follow-up from Dr Chopra and staff were exceptional. They were professional, attentive, and always made me feel comfortable and confident. Truly an excellent experience and outcome. Highly recommended. Three months after my facelift with Dr. Chopra, I couldn’t be happier with the results. He is an incredibly skilled and talented surgeon who truly cares about his patients. My results look very natural and have exceeded my expectations. The entire staff has been wonderful throughout the whole process—professional, kind, and always attentive. A special thank you to Elisabeth, the aesthetician, who has been amazing with post-procedure care and guidance. She is knowledgeable, gentle, and truly cares about helping patients achieve the best results. I’m very grateful to Dr. Chopra and his whole team for such a great experience. Highly recommend!
