Brian K. Machida, MD, FACS

Procedure: Lower facelift and neck lift with full face Co2 laser. Nov 2025. Dr Brian K Machida expertly turned back the clock twenty years and checked all four boxes of my search criteria: Double board certified with a facial plastic surgery-only practice and decades of experience. ( Dr. M has performed over 6,000 cases.) Specializes in deep plane vertical technique via local anesthesia. affordable pricing. Consistent stellar reviews. The bonuses: Dr Machida is exquisitely professional, caring, attentive, present, available, trustworthy, invites questions, is generous of spirit, and is a good teacher. AND his helpful supportive team share his values. Bertha, Norma, and Sharon are delightful warm caring souls who guide and support at every step. Excellent clear printed home-care instructions. Terrific follow-up care. I am beyond grateful to Dr Machida and the STC team for uplifting my appearance and boosting my mood. At age 74, for the past four years, I was sad daily whenever seeing my sagging face in a mirror or in a photo. Because of Dr. Machida’s expert transformation, my daily happiness zooms now as I feel more fully alive.

This was an amazing experience. I'm only sorry I delayed so long. Very minimal discomfort. My friends and family are amazed as well. The cost was very reasinable and this facelift clearly took 10 years of sun abuse off my face and neck. I will soon be 75 and highly recommend Dr. Machida.

Dr. Brian Machida is an amazing professional. I had a deep plane face and neck lift with excellent results. 2 weeks after the procedure I was almost back to normal and already looking great. I am 100% satisfied with his job and would recommend his practice to anyone who wants to look younger and natural.

Dr. Machida and his team are a true blessing. They made sure to provide all the required information, and I felt very comfortable though out the process. I’m more than happy with the results- I look 20 years younger.

Thank you, Dr Machida. You are absolutely fabulous. So grateful that we found you. Your magic touch gave me a brand new me. Totally happy with the deep plane procedure You also have the bestest staff ( Bertha, Norma, Sharon). Super great!

I had a great experience, not only with Dr. Machida but his entire staff! they all made everything from start to finish easy and fun too! I can’t believe how good my eyes look after a lifetime of having hooded eyes, and years of under eye bags. I love my results and so glad I chose Dr. Machida!

It’s was the best experience in my life having a surgery with Dr Machida. I had very little pain and I can see the result perfectly. My family saw a big difference within two weeks. I will recommend this to anyone especially if they’re afraid of surgery.

This was my second facelift with Dr. Machida and I couldn't be happier with the results. The lines and wrinkles are gone, and my face is tight and lifted. I kid you not I look 20 years younger. This couldn't have happened at a better time because I am engaged to be married, and I want to look ravishing. My fiancée is totally amazed and pleased. Dr. Machida's bedside manner is phenomenal, and the staff is awesome. I plan on going back for other beautifying treatments.

So happy that I did the facelift. Absolutely no pain or discomfort through the whole process. I highly recommend Dr. Machida and an awake facelift. Now I am mistaken for a young Suzann Sommers. What a transformation.

The staff is so kind & professional. Dr. Brian did an excellent procedure. I would recommend him for any procedure having to do with your face. You will be very pleased with your results. Highly recommended to go to Dr. Brian.
