The Artiste Lift: Your Path to Natural Facial Rejuvenation

Looking for a facelift that doesn’t look like a facelift? You’re in the right place. The Artiste Lift is Dr. Balikian’s signature approach to facial rejuvenation, combining his extensive expertise with the most advanced surgical techniques available today. As one of Southern California’s most trusted facial plastic surgeons, Dr. Balikian has performed thousands of facelifts, helping patients achieve the natural, refreshed look they desire.

What Makes the Artiste Lift Special?

Let’s be honest – nobody wants to look “done.” That’s why Dr. Balikian developed the Artiste Lift. It’s not your typical facelift. Instead of just pulling and tightening, this innovative approach works with your natural facial structure to restore your youthful appearance.

Here’s what makes it different:

It’s All About Preservation: Think of it as turning back time, not changing who you are. The deep plane technique gently repositions your facial tissues to where they used to be – no tight, pulled look here!

Your Neck Will Thank You: That troublesome neck area? Our deep vertical neck lift tackles it head-on, lifting everything back to where it belongs. Say goodbye to jowls and hello to a defined jawline!

Customized Just for You: Want to address your eyes or brow area too? We can do that! The Artiste Lift can include eyelid surgery or a brow lift if that’s what you’re looking for.

Recovery Made Easy

We get it – you’re busy and want to get back to your life as quickly as possible. That’s why Dr. Balikian has revolutionized the recovery process. Here’s what makes our approach different:

  • No Narcotics Needed: Less medication means faster recovery and fewer side effects.
  • Skip the Drains: Unlike traditional facelifts, you won’t need any drains or tight compression garments.
  • Less Swelling, Less Waiting: Our techniques mean less bruising and swelling, so you can feel confident sooner.
  • Extra Recovery Boost: We offer special treatments like Elixir MD therapy, lymphatic massage, and hyperbaric chamber sessions to speed up your healing.
  • Comfort is Key: We’ve designed everything around your comfort, including ways to help you get better sleep during recovery.
