Face Lift
As we get older, changes occur on and around our face – from the natural aging process and the stresses of the environment, exposure to sun or smoking. Due to the effects of gravity, facial muscles become loose. Skin folds appear on the cheeks, and fatty tissue can appear around the neck and jowls, causing the jawline to lose its definition and the formation of a “turkey wattle.” Deepening lines and wrinkles can form, especially between the nose and mouth.
Patients who choose a facelift usually have two motivating factors: either they want to halt the advance of the aging process, or they seek to reverse the already present signs of aging. A facelift will “set the clock back” to enable you to look like you did several years ago. It rejuvenates the face by reducing sagging skin, lifting and tightening weakened muscles of the face and neck and removing excess fat underneath the skin, which smoothes out and improves wrinkles. The facelift is typically divided into three components and most patients require treatment of all three areas during a standard procedure:
- Liposuction: reshapes the neck by removing loose excess fat deposits of the jowls and neck
- Cheek-jowl lift: lifts sagging cheek and jaw line tissues.
- Neck lift: tightens the major weak neck muscles, removes bands running down the neck, creates a sharper chin-neck angle and takes away excess skin.
Not all facelifts are created equal. By using deep-plane techniques, Dr. Balikian is able to reposition the underlying facial tissue, rather than just the skin. By setting the architecture of the facial tissues back to were they were previously, Dr. Balikian can prevent unnatural tightening or pulling of the facial skin, avoiding the “pulled” or “wind tunnel” appearance. By using time- tested techniques, Dr. Balikian can give each individual patient the natural, beautiful result they desire. Dr. Balikian uses computerized imaging during consultation to help create the natural look that you and he want to accomplish.
Dr. Balikian is the only full-time, double board certified surgeon who is fully fellowship trained in facial plastic surgery in the Temecula, California area.

Mini Lift
The mini facelift, or “weekend facelift” can be performed quickly and has a short recovery period. This procedure enhances key facial areas with less risk and less stress than standard facelift surgery. The mini facelift is an attractive option because it reduces minor sagging around the cheeks, jaw-line and neck more economically than the conventional facelift.
The mini facelift focuses on specific areas of the face, such as the neck and the folds of the nose. Using smaller incisions, Dr. Balikian lifts, repositions, and removes facial tissue to achieve optimal results.

Neck Liposuction
Excess fat in the neck and face can be removed via liposuction. This and other services can give the illusion of youthfulness by correcting some of the facial architectural changes that occur naturally over time. Drooping fat on the lower cheek, for example, creates jowls, those excesses of hanging skin along the jaw line. Dr. Richard Balikian is the only board certified surgeon who is fully fellowship trained in facial plastic surgery in Temecula, California areas who can remove them and improve your facial aesthetics in a variety of ways. He performs the popular mini-face lift, full-face lift, neck lift and neck liposuction. Each of these procedures is designed to improve your facial esthetics in a different way, or address a different problem.
