  • Rhinoplasty

    Rhinoplasty brings the nose into harmony with the rest of the face. By achieving a more harmonious look, it often produces dramatic improvements in the facial appearance. Dr. Balikian believes in correcting parts of the nose that bother the patient while maintaining their individual look.

  • Blepharoplasty

    Blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift, results in a refreshed, youthful look to the areas above and below the eyes. Since the eyes are the focal point of visual contact, they are often the first to show signs of a tired, aged appearance.

  • Fat Transfer

    As we age, we lose volume in our face. Facial fat transfer allows Dr. Balikian to replace your volume loss, with your own fat from other parts of your body, such as stubborn belly fat. The result is a youthful, vibrant face.

  • Brow Lift

    Dr. Balikian is very conservative with his brow lifts and will go over which options he thinks will work best for you after performing a thorough examination. He will always give an honest assessment and individualize his surgical recommendation for you.

  • Otoplasty

    Ear pinning, or otoplasty, is a surgical procedure that brings protruding ears closer to the head or reduces their size. Large, protruding or irregularly shaped ears can compromise self-confidence at any age. Dr. Balikian performs otoplasty for children after five years of age and adults of all ages.

  • Vampire Facelift

    Vampire facelift is a non-surgical procedure that combines the use of injectable HA fillers along with an added boost from your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The procedure is designed to redefine your facial contours by replenishing lost volume and rejuvenating the look and feel of the skin at the same time.

  • Lasers

    Laser skin rejuvenation can help restore your skin’s complexion to a younger, healthier state. Sun damage and normal aging break down collagen on a daily basis. However, it’s been proven clinically that those who maintain their skin with laser treatments stimulate their collagen and therefore have younger healthier skin.

  • Microneedling

    Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that helps minimize the signs of aging, improve the appearance of acne scars and rejuvenate aging skin.
