About

Dr. Parit A. Patel, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, practices at the Plastic Surgery Clinic of Chicago in Illinois. He specializes in aesthetic, craniofacial, and reconstructive procedures of the face, breast, and body, with a focus on facelift, rhinoplasty, and eyelid surgery. Dr. Patel's philosophy centers on a thorough understanding of patient anatomy and a conservative 'less is more' approach, aiming for natural aesthetic outcomes. He believes great results come from knowing 'when enough is enough' and considers restraint a valuable surgical skill, developed by observing how results age. Dr. Patel emphasizes correctly identifying the root cause of concerns, such as distinguishing between a descended brow and excess eyelid skin. For many facelift patients, he prefers IV sedation with local anesthesia over general anesthesia, noting its lower risk profile, less bleeding, and a faster, more comfortable recovery. He believes the most rewarding aspect of his practice is seeing patients gain confidence, and he is willing to inform patients when a procedure is not suitable for them, prioritizing patient safety.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Parit A. Patel

Sourced directly from Dr. Parit A. Patel's social posts and replies.

What results can be expected from a deep plane facelift, neck lift, and facial fat transfer?
These procedures can result in a well-defined neck and jawline, making the face appear less bottom heavy, restoring midface volume, and creating an overall more heart-shaped and youthful facial configuration.
What are common patient goals and recovery expectations for rhinoplasty?
Common goals for rhinoplasty include removal of the dorsal hump, making the tip smaller, rotating and lifting the tip, straightening and shortening the nose, and improving deviations or alar retraction. Patients are typically 6 weeks post-operative from a primary rhinoplasty, with results healing beautifully even at 2 months post-op. However, full recovery can involve months of subtle swelling.
What is a common mistake in diagnosing eyelid hooding and how can I self-assess?
A common mistake in facial rejuvenation is misdiagnosing the cause of heaviness and hooding above the eyes, often attributing it to excess eyelid skin when a descended brow is the root cause. To self-assess, gently lift your brows with your fingers to their position from ten years prior. If the hooding disappears, the problem is likely a descended brow pushing tissue onto the eyelid, not excess eyelid skin.
What are the consequences of treating eyelid hooding without addressing a descended brow?
Removing only eyelid skin without addressing a descended brow provides only a temporary fix, as the heaviness will return because the brow continues to fall. This also leaves less skin available for a revision surgery if needed later.
What is the difference between a brow lift and eyelid surgery?
A brow lift and an eyelid surgery address two distinct problems. A brow lift corrects a descended brow that causes hooding, while eyelid surgery addresses excess eyelid skin.
How should I evaluate before-and-after photos and external factors affecting appearance?
Lighting, camera lenses, and angles can dramatically change how a person's face appears. Before-and-after photos can be misleading if factors such as lighting, angle, makeup, or timing are not consistent. It is recommended to look for standardized photos that make the results easier to judge honestly, rather than focusing solely on the most flattering shots, and not to make aesthetic decisions based on your appearance in your worst lighting.
How does rapid weight loss affect facial appearance and aesthetic planning?
Rapid weight loss can affect facial volume, skin laxity, and overall facial appearance. For individuals using GLP-1 medications, understanding these potential changes can help in planning for aesthetic goals.
Is general anesthesia always required for a facelift, and what are the benefits of IV sedation with local anesthesia?
No, a facelift does not always require general anesthesia. For many patients, IV sedation with local anesthesia is a safer option, offering a lower risk profile, less time in deep anesthesia, and often less bleeding during the procedure, leading to less bruising and swelling and a faster, more comfortable recovery. Patients are in a deeply relaxed twilight state, feel nothing, and remember nothing from the procedure. While many practices default to general anesthesia due to familiarity, Dr. Patel advises patients considering a facelift to ask whether general anesthesia is actually needed, as many do not require it.
How does recovery time vary across procedures?
Recovery time varies widely depending on the specific procedure. For example, patients can walk out immediately after Botox, while rhinoplasty recovery can involve months of subtle swelling. Knowing the typical timeline can help you plan realistically and choose a treatment that fits your lifestyle.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$113

Payments

2

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Parit A. Patel received $113 across 2 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was DePuy Synthes Sales Inc..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
