Dr. Balikian is Amazing
Dr. Balikian was everything. I could go on for a bit…his enthusiasm, his vision for the results, his care for the patient. Professionalism, depth of latest techniques and treatments. Wonderful crew. As I have said he does not do plastic surgery, what he does is soul work. My photos speak to his expertise. You will not be sorry when you work with Dr. Balikian. I promise! Heather

Results Beyond my Expectations!
Nine months ago, I underwent a transformative journey with several facial rejuvenation procedures, including a deep plane facelift, neck lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, and CO2 laser treatment. Now, reflecting on that experience, I am thrilled to share my story. Looking back at my initial consultation with Dr. Balikian, I was excited to have finally made the appointment but had some hesitation and anxiety. He and his staff treated me with kindness and demonstrated their

So Highly Recommend - Absolutely Worth It
I couldn't be happier with my results. I'm 52, I had the deep plane neck and jaw lift with a brow lift and fat transfer. I just was so unhappy with the jowls that I saw when I looked in the mirror every day. I spend a lot of time on zoom and I was going through ever-increasingly-complex lighting and camera angle contortions to avoid looking at my own neck and jawline. I like my face. I liked my face before the surgery and I just feel like the procedure gave me back the face

They Knew Exactly What I Needed!
I am so pleased with my whole experience at Balikian Plastic Surgery! Dr. Balikian knew exactly what I needed! The procedure and my recovery has been seamless. I now recognize myself again! Also, Dr. Frew was so precise and detailed. He gave me the figure I once had. I am so happy!

Exceeded All my Expectations
The entire experience was professional and exceeded my expectations. I am extremely happy with my results. I am in the medical field and was very thorough with my research. Dr. Balikian had come highly recommended and I knew I made the right choice. A few of my colleagues did not know I had the face and neck lift. When returned to work one asked if I was “doing something new with my makeup” and how beautiful I looked. Another asked if I had been to a retreat because I looked

I Had an Amazing Experience
I came in to get Botox, lip flip and filler. I was nervous because it was my first time, but everyone was so sweet and explained everything to me. my injectors name was Kristen. She was the best. She was very patient and explained everything that she was doing and why she was doing it. I recommend going to her she has a lot of patience and understanding on what you want. She got the job done! She made me look 10 years younger! I love all the work she did and she has a customer

I have seen the staff of Dr. Balikian for several years now and their service is great. I received Botox and have used some of their facial products that work wonders in terms of the look and feel of your face after each application. Thank you team Balikian for your friendly service you project always.
I am reviewing my consultation to let any prospective patients know that Dr. Balikian is a reputable surgeon in that he denied me a surgery (lip lift). I have been interested in this surgery for a while because I have a short chin, so it kind of affects my facial proportions in that my philtrum doesn't look short in comparison. However, my philtrum is objectively short in its measurements and the amount he'd have cut off would not be worth an entire surgery (less than 4 mm), per
I'd been studying and comparing different procedures and different providers seriously for a year. I talked with my husband who said he loved me the way I look now but if it would make me feel better he would support me. So I made a couple appointments to visit with the two Drs. I was going to choose from. I liked them both but when considering the extensive procedures I would have done I had to consider who I would feel most comfortable with. I let the Dr. I chose know of my
