The Define Deep Plane Facelift with Dr Ritu Chopra

About this episode

Alex Pike interviews Dr Ritu Chopra about his journey in plastic surgery and the impact of social media on patient expectations.

This week on The Face, I’m joined by Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr Ritu Chopra, based in Beverly Hills. What I love about Dr Chopra is his journey — starting in civil engineering before committing to the long and demanding road into medicine and plastic surgery. That foundation in precision really shows in his work. He’s known for his Define Deep Plane Facelift and a very considered, natural approach to facial surgery. Born and raised in California and a surfer at heart, he brings a calm, grounded energy to what is often a very complex space. We talk all things plastic surgery, Korea, and the role social media is now playing in shaping patient expectations. Genuinely one of my favourite conversations.   Disclaimer: The content of this podcast is intended solely for educational purposes within the aesthetics and cosmetic industry.
