FACELIFT SURGERY · BEVERLY HILLS
Facelift Surgery in Beverly Hills, Individually Planned.
Lift MD Surgical offers individualized facelift surgery in Beverly Hills under the direction of Garo Kassabian, MD, FACS. Each facelift is planned around the patient’s facial anatomy, tissue quality, aging pattern and goals rather than one predetermined surgical technique.
The objective is to restore youthful facial structure and definition while preserving natural expression, proportion and identity.

THE KASSABIAN METHOD
The Technique Follows the Patient.
There is no single facelift technique that is appropriate for every face.
Depending on the individual patient, surgical planning may incorporate techniques involving endoscopic, deep plane, SMAS, tissue repositioning, facial fat transfer or neck contouring.
Rather than defining every facelift by one named method, Dr. Kassabian selects and combines techniques according to the anatomy and needs of the patient.
The technique should be chosen for the patient—not the patient for the technique.
A BESPOKE APPROACH
No Two Faces Age the Same Way.
Facial aging occurs at multiple levels. Skin quality changes, facial tissues descend, volume distribution shifts and definition along the jawline and neck may diminish over time.
For that reason, facelift surgery at Lift MD Surgical begins with an individualized evaluation rather than a standardized surgical plan.
Dr. Kassabian considers facial structure, tissue descent, skin quality, volume changes and the relationship between the face, jawline and neck before determining which surgical approach is most appropriate.
The goal is not simply tighter skin. It is restored structure, balance and proportion.

WHAT FACELIFT SURGERY CAN ADDRESS
Restoring Facial Structure While Preserving Identity.
Facelift surgery may help improve visible signs of structural facial aging, including:
Jowling and diminished jawline definition
Lower facial laxity
Descending facial tissues
Changes in cheek and midface contour
Deepening folds associated with tissue descent
Loose or redundant skin of the lower face
When aging of the neck is also present, facelift surgery may be combined with a neck lift to create continuity between the face, jawline and neck.

FACELIFT + NECK LIFT
When the Face and Neck Age Together.
Facial aging often extends beyond the jawline.
Lower-face laxity, diminished jawline definition, neck laxity and changes beneath the chin may occur together. When appropriate, facelift and neck lift surgery can be combined so the face, jawline and neck are treated as a continuous aesthetic unit.
The recommended approach depends on the patient’s anatomy and the areas that would benefit from treatment.

NATURAL-LOOKING FACELIFT RESULTS
You Should Still Look Like You.
One of the most common concerns patients have about facelift surgery is looking overly tight, pulled or noticeably “done.”
Modern facelift surgery can address deeper facial structures rather than relying on skin tightening alone. Dr. Kassabian’s approach emphasizes facial proportion, structural support and natural expression.
The goal is not to create a different face. It is to create a more refreshed version of your own.

CANDIDACY
Who Is a Candidate for Facelift Surgery?
Facelift surgery may be appropriate for patients experiencing structural facial aging that can no longer be adequately addressed through nonsurgical treatments alone.
Candidates commonly seek improvement in jowling, lower facial laxity, diminished jawline definition or changes in facial contour while still wanting to remain natural and recognizable.
Age alone does not determine candidacy. Anatomy, tissue quality, general health, aging pattern and individual goals are more important considerations.
The appropriate treatment plan—and whether surgery is appropriate—is determined during an individualized consultation.

FACELIFT RECOVERY
What Is Facelift Recovery Like?
Facelift recovery varies according to the surgical approach and the individual patient.
Swelling and bruising are expected during the early healing period and generally improve progressively over the following weeks. Patients receive individualized postoperative instructions and follow-up based on their specific procedure.
Subtle refinement continues as swelling resolves and facial tissues settle.
