As the face changes with age, features that once felt bright and vibrant can begin to appear tired or heavy. Skin loses elasticity, facial volume shifts, and the contours of the cheeks, jawline, and neck may soften or sag. While these changes are natural, they don’t have to define the way you look, or how you feel about yourself.
At Balikian Facial Plastic Surgery, we believe facial rejuvenation should celebrate your features, not alter them. With advanced facelift techniques like the Artiste Lift™, Dr. Richard Balikian delivers refined, natural-looking results that help patients look like themselves, only younger, brighter, and more rested.
A facelift is one of the most transformative procedures in aesthetic medicine. When performed with precision and artistry, it does far more than smooth skin. A well-executed facelift restores youthful structure and redefines the lower face, helping you look refreshed, confident, and authentically you.
Dr. Balikian’s signature Artiste Lift™ is a comprehensive preservation deep plane facelift that repositions the skin and deep facial structures as a single unit. This approach preserves natural volume and expression, allowing for more harmonious, longer-lasting results.
In many cases, the Artiste Lift™ also includes a deep vertical neck lift, facial fat transfer, or CO2 laser resurfacing, creating a full-face rejuvenation that restores youthful energy and definition from every angle.
Whether you’re looking to address early signs of aging or seeking more comprehensive rejuvenation, your facelift can be fully tailored to your facial structure, skin type, and goals.
