Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Raj Dedhia

Sourced directly from Dr. Raj Dedhia's social posts and replies.

What results can be expected from a deep plane face and neck lift?
A deep plane face and neck lift can effectively soften nasolabial folds and create a more defined jawline.
Source →
What are common indications for rhinoplasty?
Common indications for rhinoplasty include a prominent dorsal hump, a poorly defined tip, a deviated nasal axis visible on frontal view, and functional breathing issues.
Source →
How are scars managed in a deep plane facelift and neck lift?
Scars from deep plane facelift and neck lift procedures are meticulously managed through precise incision placement, performing the lift in deeper layers to avoid skin tension, and using careful closure techniques, all contributing to scars that heal very well and become barely visible.
Source →
What are the typical results and recovery for older patients undergoing a deep plane face and neck lift?
Patients, including those around 70 years old, can achieve natural and transformative results as early as 3 months post-operation from a deep plane face and neck lift.
Source →
Can rhinoplasty improve breathing function?
Yes, rhinoplasty can result in significant functional improvement in a patient's breathing, which is often visible in the base view of the nose.
Source →
What causes upper eyelid hooding?
Upper eyelid hooding is not always solely due to extra eyelid skin; sometimes, it's caused by the descent of the brow with age, a condition known as brow ptosis.
Source →
If I have brow ptosis, will an upper blepharoplasty be effective?
When significant brow ptosis is present, an upper blepharoplasty alone may lead to underwhelming results. A brow lift (or a brow reset) is often needed to reposition the brow back to a more youthful, natural position, typically focusing on elevating the tail of the brow and improving upper eyelid show.
Source →
What are the details of an upper blepharoplasty procedure?
An upper blepharoplasty, or upper eyelid lift, is designed to treat excess upper eyelid skin that can create a tired or heavy appearance. In suitable patients, it can often be performed comfortably in the office under local anesthesia alone, with mild sedation available if needed. The procedure typically takes 45–60 minutes, has relatively low downtime, and offers one of the highest ROI changes in facial rejuvenation, resulting in a refined, natural look.
Source →
What procedures are used to address under-eye bags and hollowness, and what are their combined outcomes?
Lower blepharoplasty, facial fat transfer, and fractional CO2 laser resurfacing are procedures used to address under-eye bags and hollowness. When combined, they can result in a smooth eyelid-cheek contour, improved skin quality, and eyes that look brighter, refreshed, and less tired.
Source →
Has Dr. Dedhia received professional recognition?
Dr. Raj Dedhia has been named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for six consecutive years. While awards are not the primary goal, sustained recognition from physician peers is meaningful to the practice.
Source →
How does rapid weight loss affect facial contours, and how does Dr. Dedhia address this?
Rapid weight loss can change facial contours before the skin and deeper structures fully adjust, potentially leaving features looking sharper or more deflated than expected. Dr. Dedhia is passionate about helping patients maintain natural, balanced results through these transitions, utilizing techniques like deep plane facelifts and precise fat transfer to restore balance and enhance natural structure.
Source →
What surgical techniques does Dr. Dedhia use in rhinoplasty and what are their goals?
In rhinoplasty, Dr. Dedhia performs dorsal reduction, tip refinement with support grafting, and septal work. Septal work is specifically performed to improve both nasal symmetry and airway function.
Source →
When are post-operative photos typically shown for rhinoplasty?
Post-operative photos for rhinoplasty are typically shown at approximately one year post-op to reflect stable results.

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)

$519

Payments

6

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Raj Dedhia received $519 across 6 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Galderma Laboratories, L.P..

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?”
