Let’s slow this down, because this is where it finally starts to click! 🌟

In Part 3, Dr. Balikian is breaking the face down into three different parts to make something complex feel easy to understand. By separating the layers, he’s showing you how the deeper structures of the face actually work together and why treating them properly matters so much.

This video takes you beneath the surface to the muscles, ligaments, and support system that control how the face ages and how it can be lifted naturally.

This is the layer most people never get to see…
but it’s the one that makes all the difference.

Why this layer matters:
• This is where sagging truly begins
• It determines lift, movement, and longevity
• It’s the foundation behind natural, long-lasting results

If Parts 1 and 2 sparked curiosity, Part 3 makes it understandable.
And Part 4 is where everything ties together.

Lifted, supported, and naturally full WITHOUT implants!

In your 50s, breast rejuvenation isn’t about going bigger. It’s about restoring shape, support, and confidence.

This patient underwent a Wise Mastopexy with Durasorb Mesh and fat transfer to both breasts, all without the use of implants. The goal is a lifted, youthful contour with long-term internal support and soft, natural fullness using her own tissue.

Why this implant-free approach works:
- Wise Mastopexy lifts and reshapes excess skin
- Durasorb mesh acts as an internal bra, supporting the breast from within and helping results last
- Fat transfer restores volume and softness using your body’s own fat

It isn’t about looking different. It is about looking like you again!

Our 50-year-old patient underwent the Artiste Lift™️ with Dr. Richard Balikian which combines the Preservation Deep Plane Facelift, Deep Vertical Neck Lift, and a Full Face Fat Transfer.

Fat transfer matters!! 🌟
A facelift repositions what has fallen, but a fat transfer restores what time has taken away. By adding fat, the result will be softer, healthier, and naturally youthful.

Save this and share if you are ready to look refreshed, rested, and confidently youthful because this is how aging is done beautifully 💗

This is what precision looks like.
This is what preservation looks like.

With her Artiste Lift™, the goal wasn’t to pull, it was to restore. By lifting at the deep plane and vertically supporting the neck, we were able to redefine her jawline, smooth the neck, and preserve her natural facial identity.

On slide 2, the arrows highlight the exact improvement along the neck and where vertical lift matters most and where aging shows first.

Her full procedure included:
• Preservation deep plane facelift
• Deep vertical neck lift
• 4-point brow lift
• Full face fat transfer
• Full face CO₂ laser

The result?
A refreshed profile, a smoother neck, and results that look natural — not operated on.

Make sure to observe the different shapes of these blurs! 👀

This patient underwent an Autologous Breast Lift with an Ar**la Revision using her own tissue to restore shape, lift, and balance!

Look closely for:
- More harmonious breast shape
- Ar**las refined to a more equal size and shape
- Improved symmetry that feels natural and proportional

Did you know?💡
Ar**la asymmetry is incredibly common and correcting it isn’t just about aesthetics. When proportions are balanced, many women report feeling more confident in clothing, more comfortable in their bodies, and more like themselves again. Small details can have a powerful emotional impact!

Your face is held up by a hammock…and gravity is slowly pulling it down. 🧬

Part 2 of our Deep Plane Anatomical Series dives beneath the skin and into the muscle layer that actually determines how your face ages.

As we get older, gravity doesn’t affect the skin, it pulls on the SMAS and deeper muscle structures. This leads to:

- Jowls
- Sagging cheeks
- Loss of jawline definition
- A heavy, tired lower face

This is why technique matters and why where you lift matters even more!

This is the foundation of the Artiste Lift™️

Watch part 2 now, then save this video to continue with us as we break down the face layer by layer in this entire series!

Follow, save, and stay tuned for part 3 📌

Not just surgery. A masterpiece in motion. 🎨

Welcome to our Artistic Deep Plane Facelift Education Series: where facial surgery is explained the way it’s actually performed.

Dr. Balikian takes you beneath the surface, breaking down the Artiste Lift™ layer by layer and showing what really happens during a deep plane facelift. From muscle and ligaments to vectors and lift strategy, this series pulls back the curtain on the anatomy, precision, and intention behind every move.

And yes, we used physical art on the face to teach it. Because when your surgeon is an artist, education becomes visual, intentional, and unforgettable. 🌟

This isn’t trends.
This is technique.
This is artistry, explained.

Follow along as we go deep, literally!

This wasn’t just a physical change, it was an emotional one 🤍

After years of carrying excess skin and weight that no longer reflected how she felt inside, this patient chose to take her life back. Her transformation goes far beyond her abdomen. It restored confidence, comfort, and a sense of self she had been missing.

With Liposuction 360 and a Full Abdominoplasty, her midsection was contoured and excess skin removed to create a smoother, stronger silhouette allowing her to finally feel at home in her body again.
