In Dr. Robert J. Chouake's own words

How Dr. Robert J. Chouake describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • Dr. Robert J. Chouake, MD, performs upper blepharoplasty in a very conservative manner, removing just a small amount of skin to refreshen the eyes.
  • Dr. Robert J. Chouake, MD, and his practice provide the same meticulous care for all patients.

Specialization

  • Today we are doing a chin implant with submental liposuction
  • We'll be doing a facelift, neck lift, lateral temporal brow lift to bring this lateral portion of the eye up, and a fat transfer

Technique

  • After we place the fat in the face, what survives becomes living facial fat
  • Dr. Robert J. Chouake, MD, performs deep neck contouring, which includes shaving of the glands in the neck.
  • Dr. Robert J. Chouake, MD, utilizes fat transfer to the tear trough, under eye, and cheek to address mid-face hollowing.

Technology

  • Dr. Robert J. Chouake, MD, uses CO2 laser resurfacing to brighten the skin.

Training & credentials

  • Dr. Robert J. Chouake, MD, had a patient who knew him when he was a resident in training.

Recovery guidance

  • We just took off the dressing that you had overnight. We're gonna clean everything up and give her a much more comfortable head wrap for today
  • Most surgeons would recommend waiting at least six up to 12 months before you consider fixing it and that's because we want to wait for the swelling to go down. We want to wait for the skin integrity to improve and that way when we fix it you have a smoother healing process

Results

  • So yes, you can still do it. Maybe you'll have a little bit less longevity and a little bit less impactful of a result

About

Dr. Robert J. Chouake is a Board Eligible Facial Plastic Surgeon practicing in New York, New York. Drawing on his background in otolaryngology, Dr. Chouake focuses on facial plastic surgery, including procedures like rhinoplasty, face and neck lifts, eyelid surgery, and brow lifts. He emphasizes that selecting the correct treatment plan always depends on a patient's specific anatomy. For the chin and neck, Dr. Chouake often combines chin implant procedures with submental liposuction, particularly when an underprojected chin exaggerates submental fullness, to achieve a more powerful aesthetic result. He differentiates deep neck contouring for issues deeper than fat, targeting structures beneath the platysma muscle to create a sharper jawline and neck angle. Dr. Chouake enjoys eye rejuvenation, addressing extra upper lid skin, improving lower lid bags, and utilizing fat transfer for a natural smoothing of the lid-cheek junction. He also performs lateral temporal endoscopic brow lifts for a subtle lift of the lateral brow without changing the overall character of the eyes. He explains that facial fat transfer, unlike filler, involves a long-lasting surviving portion of fat that behaves like natural facial fat, and may include modest overfilling or occasional touch-ups as part of a realistic plan.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Robert J. Chouake

Sourced directly from Dr. Robert J. Chouake's social posts and replies.

What is the typical follow-up schedule after chin implant and submental liposuction?
A follow-up appointment is typically scheduled around two weeks post-operation.
What is the typical recovery timeline for rhinoplasty?
Patients can expect significant healing and results to be visible around 3 months post-operation.
How does Dr. Chouake approach submental fullness and chin projection?
Fullness under the chin is not always solely due to fat; it can be exaggerated by an underprojected chin. Dr. Chouake finds that treating both submental fullness and an underprojected chin simultaneously can lead to a more powerful aesthetic result.
Who is a good candidate for a lateral temporal endoscopic brow lift?
This procedure is suitable for patients experiencing heaviness of the outer brow, hooding of the upper eyelids from brow descent, or a tired appearance around the eyes. It is best for those who desire a subtle lift of the lateral brow without changing the overall character of their eyes.
What are the typical recovery expectations after deep neck contouring, upper blepharoplasty, facial fat transfer, and CO2 laser resurfacing?
Swelling is a normal occurrence seven days post-operation and will continue to improve over the coming weeks.
What should patients expect regarding facial fat transfer survival and longevity?
Facial fat transfer does not 'dissolve' like filler. Only a percentage of the injected fat survives, with some natural reabsorption occurring in the first 3 to 6 months. The remaining fat becomes living, functioning tissue that behaves like the rest of your facial fat and is long-lasting, though it still responds to aging and weight changes. Factors like technique, blood supply, and the treated area affect survival. Modest overfilling and occasional touch-ups can be part of a realistic plan.
When is deep neck contouring recommended over submental liposuction?
Deep neck contouring is a distinct surgical procedure indicated when the issue is 'deeper' than what can be addressed by submental liposuction alone. It involves targeting anatomical structures beneath the platysma muscle to create a sharper jawline and neck angle.

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)

$56

Payments

2

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Robert J. Chouake received $56 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 AXOGEN.

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?”
