I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Gupta and his team. As a healthcare worker, I strongly feel that, when looking for a good surgeon, you should always ask the surgical nurses who to go to. The nurses I work with all said that Dr. Gupta would be their first choice for a plastic surgeon.

Here at Verve Plastic Surgery, I think it’s really important that patients feel comfortable when they come in.
[Alison Stenzel, PA, in a consultation appointment with patient]They’re coming in for an assessment of areas that are bothersome to them, so it’s really important to take that into consideration. Our job here is to really enhance your confidence. We don’t want you to focus on things that are negative to you. We really want to bring out the most beautiful, natural version of yourself.
[Alison Stenzel, PA, speaking to the camera like an interview]A lot of times patients come in with a certain area that they want treated: their lips, their nasolabial folds, their cheeks, but it’s really important that we assess the entire face.
[Alison Stenzel, PA, in a consultation appointment with patient]We want everything to look like it’s in harmony. We don’t want anything to be off balance. There are many different options that can be used instead of surgery. Sometimes these are milder enhancements that patients can experience, but it may save them a few years before they undergo a surgical procedure.
[Dr. Gupta performing a procedure on a patient in the office]This is also a good way that they can almost try out in a temporary way what they would experience with a surgical procedure.
[List of MEDSPA services on the screen]Here at our office we offer a variety of non-surgical services including botox, dermal fillers, PDO threads which are suspension sutures that help to lift sagging tissue, microneedling with PRP to help improve your overall skin texture and tone as well as reduce fine lines and wrinkles, PRP for hair restoration, collagen stimulators which are great for patients that have lost volume throughout their entire face and we have a special laser SculpSure which is non-invasive, permanent fat reduction.
[Dr. Gupta in a consultation appointment with patient]It’s really important to us that we’re giving you natural results, something that you’re really looking for, not an extreme look. So it’s sometimes not just about lip filler, it might be about other suggestions that can get you to the goal that you’re looking for.

Understanding Facial Aging
Facial aging can start as early as 20 years old. How fast your face ages and to what extent differs from person to person. Genetics play a large role in facial aging.
There are some external factors that contribute as well including: sun exposure, diet, medications, chemotherapy, smoking and other lifestyle factors can play a role in
accelerating aging.
The most common signs of aging include:
- Soft tissue, such as fat and muscle, sag and descend.
- Volume loss
- Skin changes and wrinkles
- Decreased volume of Facial bones
Signs of Aging Exist at Every Layer of Facial Anatomy.
Skin
As you age, the skin experiences several changes including: thinner, drier skin, a loss of collagen, less elastic skin and skin that is more likely to sag and wrinkle. Aging also results in thinning of the dermis. This impairs the skin’s ability to repair itself.
Muscles
Muscles lie beneath the fat pads. As you age, loss of facial fat along with gravity and some repeated activities lead to deep wrinkles in the face.
FAT PADS
A youthful look depends on having the right amount of facial fat in the right places. With increasing age, changes take place in the fat pads. Redistribution, accumulation and atrophy of the fat leads to facial volume loss.
- Some areas lose fat – forehead & cheeks
- Some areas gain fat – mouth and jaw
BONES
Bones are the foundation for your facial muscles, fat pads and skin. As you age, you experience facial bone loss, which changes the dimensions and contours of your face. Without the structural support of the bone, there are noticeable changes in the outer layers of the overlying skin and soft tissue.
