Ranch and Coast Plastic Surgery - Del Mar

The characters permitted within this box do not provide me with enough space to gush freely about how grateful I am for Dr. Francis and his team!! I am BEYOND thrilled with my results. I feel more confident than I ever have before in my new skin, or shall I say lack of it. (: Before the procedure I was limited on what I could wear comfortably because of my stomach and floppy breasts which greatly impacted my self-esteem. Now this 41 Y/O woman is wearing cropped tops, bikinis and form-fitted shirts without feeling self conscious about bulge to my bra-line, belly protruding or breast flaps inhibiting my ability to wear trendy, stylish clothing. I even weaned myself off of my antidepressants as my confidence is at an all time high. LFG!!!!

My experience at Dr. Balikian's is always pleasant. Dr. Balikian fixed my botched facelift. I am extremely happy with my results. If you are considering facial rejuvenation, you can trust he will not botch your appearance.
The staff he chose to work for him are extraordinary individuals. You can't help but appreciate the staff and office dynamics.
Yesterday was the first time I had a Scuptra and a little filler done by Lupe. I am very pleased with her work. If you are thinking of filler ask for Lupe.

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 ability to listen to address my concerns. I left feeling confident that I had found the perfect surgeon and surgical team to perform my procedures.

The first few weeks involved swelling and redness but overall pain and discomfort was very minimal. Any concerns I had were quickly addressed by Dr. Balikian and staff. As the swelling subsided my face began to take on this beautiful contour and youthfulness.

From the initial consultation to the final follow-up, my surgical team demonstrated exceptional care and expertise. They listened to my concerns and expectations, providing a detailed plan that left me feeling confident and supported.
I am reminded that the healing process takes 12 months but I am so pleased with my results already!
I am so grateful to have found Dr. Balikian. His expertise and compassion have transformed my entire outlook on life. I look and feel younger and more confident than I have in years.

This has been one of the best decisions in my life. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Balikian to anyone contemplating facial plastic surgery.

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 I expected to see every morning.
By 2 weeks after surgery I was at a party for my husband's birthday. I still had swelling but I was totally presentable. Now, it's been a year and a few months. I can't remember what it was like to have jowls and a droopy neck. I feel great and most importantly, I feel like I look like me, just refreshed, reset to where I want to be.

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!

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 “so refreshed”!
Thank to the entire staff !

I had an amazing experience and couldn’t be happier with my results . Everyone was so professional and kind. They were all so helpful on answering all my questions and the recovery was beyond my expectations . I had no pain.

I am very pleased with my results and so grateful for Dr. Chasan and his team. I was so happy with the friendliness at the office, the assistance with setting up financing and the ease of every appointment. I feel like family every time I call or come into the office. I was loosing hope for my reconstruction before coming here, because either the price was a range (one surgeon had a potential $10,000 price difference) or another doctor had a way of planning the surgery that didn’t quite make sense to me. I had my consultation with Dr. Chasen and felt immediate relief. I had complete confidence in his ability. I certainly recommend Dr. Chasen and his office for surgery.

For more information about my surgery and “situation” please continue to read.

I had a BA just over 10 years ago in Salt Lake City, and unfortunately, did not do enough research before hand. I got my implants just after I finished breast-feeding around 10 years ago. My original surgery was a great size, but unfortunately the implants were too far apart. Then after a year of getting fit at the gym, the implants were pushed out of the pocket and even further to the side, down and into my armpits. Since they had fallen out and they were due for a change, I started shopping around in San Diego and Los Angeles for a reconstruction surgery. I had almost lost hope before coming to Dr. Chasan.

When I came in for my consultation with Dr. Chasan, he explained my situation in more depth and showed me what he could do to help. My ribcage is curved, not flat; which is one reason they were so far apart. For other doctors, I was a “difficult case,” but for Dr. Chasan; he knew he would be able to help me with his mesh technology (internal bra). Dr. Chasan moved my muscles, gave me the best shape and size for the new implants and was able to give me a natural looking cleavage (which I never got in the initial surgery!). The ripples are gone, the weird muscle squishing my implants down is gone, it feels so good; I actually feel more feminine and sexy. I’m so grateful for everyone at Ranch & Coast!

I had a rhinoplasty by Dr. Chasan in February 2025 and am SO happy with the results. My nose is exactly what I wanted (if not better). He listened to what I wanted and did exactly that. Getting a rhinoplasty here was the best decision I have ever made, truly. I had been thinking about it for 10+ years but was too nervous previously. My friend got her nose done by him 1.5 years ago (her nose is amazing!) so when I started seriously considering it because I'm getting married this year and didn't want to hate every photo of my face (lol), I interviewed Dr. Chasan and 5 other doctors and am so glad I ended up going with Dr. Chasan. Best decision ever!!!

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 for life with me!!!
