Richard V. Balikian, MD, FACS

After years of feeling self-conscious about heavy, drooping eyelids that made me look tired and older than I felt, I finally decided to go through with blepharoplasty, and I'm so glad I did. The procedure itself was straightforward. The recovery was more manageable than I expected with some swelling and bruising in the first week, but nothing unbearable. I kept my head elevated, used cold compresses, and followed all the post-op instructions carefully. By week two, I was already

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

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 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 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
