Services
Artiste Lift
The Artiste Lift is a preservation deep plane facelift technique developed by Dr. Balikian to restore facial harmony. This advanced procedure elevates deeper structural layers while maintaining facial ligaments, avoiding the tight appearance of traditional methods. Patients achieve natural, long-lasting results that enhance their existing features while preserving expression.
Mommy Makeover
Dr. Frew's signature Mommy Makeover combines breast rejuvenation, tummy tuck, and liposuction to address post-pregnancy body changes. This customized procedure restores pre-pregnancy contours through surgical precision while maintaining natural aesthetics. The approach focuses on balanced proportions and minimal scarring for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Rhinoplasty
Dr. Balikian's rhinoplasty procedure combines surgical precision with artistic vision to enhance facial harmony. Using 3D imaging technology, we create customized nasal reshaping plans that address dorsal humps, tip refinement, or symmetry issues while preserving nasal function and structural integrity for natural-looking results.
Vampire Facial
This non-surgical rejuvenation treatment combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to stimulate collagen production. The procedure improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and enhances overall radiance through natural growth factors derived from the patient's own blood for safe, effective results.
MedSpa Treatments
Our MedSpa offers advanced non-surgical treatments including Botox, dermal fillers, laser therapies, and skincare protocols. These services provide facial rejuvenation, skin texture improvement, and targeted solutions for specific concerns using FDA-approved products and state-of-the-art technology administered by experienced aesthetic professionals.

Report
Dr. Balikian and his staff( Shirley & Erin) were definitely worth the wait! It's no wonder why I waited 4 months for a consultation- they're clearly THAT good! The entire process was simple. I wanted a neck / face lift. Check in was easy & pleasant ( not stuffy at all). I was brought into the consultation room where Erin provided a brief description of their office and Dr. Balikian's services. I waited no more than 3 minutes and Dr. Balikian came in.
He was great! He was kind, professional, and absolutely knows his speciality. After the evaluation and thorough deliberation we (mostly HE) concluded that I should return in 3- 5 years. Even if I was disappointed with his findings, I appreciated his honesty. He could have easily done a procedure ( & get paid) but he felt that I wasn't ready yet. I booked an appointment for next year ( just in case he changes his mind)! Thank you and continued success to you and your staff. It was a pleasure. AND I will be back!

I have been to Dr Balikian's numerous times, I've always been impressed with how genuine and professional the entire team is. I believe Joanne is an artist at her craft and amazing at her job. You don't find this kind of service any more. Thanks Bruce Moore

I'm so glad I chose Dr. Balikian to do my surgery. It's such a huge decision, and I wanted to make sure I didn't end up looking like some bizarre version of myself. It's 3 months since the surgery and I'm ecstatic! He did such a beautiful job. I look like me, but refreshed and youthful. The entire office staff has been wonderful as well. Best decision ever!

Update. One year ago this month I had upper and lower blepharoplasty surgery on both eyes including a fat transfer. My results are amazing. Doctor Balikian and his staff are wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Doctor Balikian for any type of facial surgery. So far I have only had a virtual consultation with Doctor Balikian. Basing this review on first impressions, I will say I am overly excited to learn more about the procedures we discussed.
Doctor Balikian appears to be very professional. What I appreciated most was his honesty and not trying to push additional work just to have it done. I have concerns regarding excessive eyelid skin and he was very thorough to explain what he recommends and what is not necessary to achieve the results I am looking for. Thank you again and I'm sure I will be meeting you in person soon!
