Not everything about facial aging needs to be “tightened.” Sometimes it needs to be restored, repositioned, and refined.

For this patient, Dr. Balikian performed his signature Artiste Lift™️, combining a Preservation Deep Plane Facelift, Deep Vertical Neck Lift, Temporal Lift, Tip Only Rhinoplasty, Full Face Fat Transfer, and Full Face C02 Laser to address structure, balance, and skin quality all at once.

The goal isn’t to look different.
It’s to look like yourself… just earlier in the timeline.

Here are the honest truths about plastic surgery that we want our patients to understand as they consider surgery.

This is something most people don’t talk about and it might surprise you! Watch the full video to hear what most surgeons rarely say out loud!

This patient underwent a silicone breast augmentation with Natrelle® SSF implants by Dr. Tyler Frew.

Natrelle SSF implants are highly cohesive silicone gel implants designed to feel soft and natural while maintaining shape and projection. They provide beautiful upper-pole fullness while still moving naturally with the body.

To improve symmetry and create the most balanced result for her frame:
• 415cc implant – left breast
• 385cc implant – right breast

Using two different sizes allows Dr. Frew to correct natural asymmetry and create a result that looks proportional, lifted, and natural.

Every augmentation is customized because no two bodies are the same! 🌟

This beautiful patient chose a breast reduction with DuraSorb® mesh and Liposuction 360 to her torso and the difference goes far beyond what you see in photos.

Her breast reduction removed excess weight while reshaping and lifting for a more balanced, natural contour.

Why DuraSorb® mesh?
It acts like an internal support system that helps maintain shape, support the lower pole, and protect long-term results as healing occurs.

Adding Liposuction 360 refined her entire torso and smoothed the abdomen, waist, and flanks so her new breast size feels proportional from every angle.

The result?
✔ Lighter
✔ More balanced
✔ More confident in her own skin

Surgery performed by Dr. Tyler Frew.

This is the difference between “doing more” and doing what’s actually right for our patients!

This transformation focuses only on the upper half of the face. She’s had a facelift in the past, so when she came to see us the concern wasn’t her lower face or neck. We focused on the heaviness around the eyes, brow descent, and lip length which all contributes to a tired appearance.

Her surgical plan was an:
- Upper Blepharoplasty
- Scarless Lower Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty w/ fat transfer
- 4 Point Brow Lift
- Full Face C02 Laser

No new facelift. No unnecessary lifting. Just restoring balance where it was actually needed! Watch until the end to see her final results and hear Dr. Balikian explain the exact strategy behind her transformation.

Ever wondered where your facelift incisions are actually placed?

In Part 4 of our Artiste Lift™ series, we are breaking down incision placements.

Incisions aren’t random. They are strategic.
They are artistic.
And they are designed with one goal in mind: natural, invisible results! 🌟

The key? It’s not just where the incision is, it’s how it supports deep plane repositioning underneath. Incision design directly impacts tension, scar healing, and long-term results.

A well-placed incision should:
✔ Heal discreetly
✔ Maintain natural anatomy
✔ Support deep structural lifting
✔ Protect facial harmony

This is where surgical planning meets artistry.

No more feeling uncomfortable in your own skin ✨

After pregnancy, weight changes, and natural aging the midsection can hold onto loose skin and stubborn fullness that no workout can fix. This beautiful patient chose to move forward with a full abdominoplasty w/ anterior abdominal liposuction by Dr. Frew!

This procedure addresses more than just the surface:

- Removal of excess skin
- Tightening of separated abdominal muscles
- Targeted liposuction to sculpt and smooth
- Restorarion of a flatter, more defined waistline

The result? A tighter core and smoother silhouette.

If you’ve been thinking about doing something for you, this is your moment to schedule a consultation with Dr. Frew! 🌟
