Dr. Babak Azizzadeh, FACS

DeepPlane's record lists the surgeon as board-certified by ABFPRS (the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery), a body patients can contact directly to confirm that listing. The same record lists medical education at Harvard, one of the most recognized names in American medical training.

Dr. Azizzadeh is listed as a member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), a professional society for surgeons who focus on the face, head and neck. According to the practice's website, Dr. Azizzadeh also serves as President-elect of that academy.

Deep plane facelift surgery sits at the center of Dr. Azizzadeh's listed specialties. The technique works beneath the SMAS (the superficial muscular and fibrous layer that supports facial skin), lifting deeper tissue as one unit rather than pulling mainly on the skin.

Rhytidectomy (the medical term for a facelift) performed in the deep plane aims to address facial aging where it begins — in the deeper structures of the cheek, jawline and neck. For many patients in their fifties and sixties, the goal is a refreshed look that still reads as natural.

The practice's website lists a broader range of care, including surgery of the face, neck, nose and eyes, as well as facial nerve procedures. Non-surgical options such as Botox, fillers and non-surgical facial rejuvenation also appear on the site, which allows some patients to combine or stage treatments.

A personalized plan is the stated starting point at the CENTER for Advanced Facial Plastic Surgery. The practice describes results as tailored to each patient's goals, which in practice means the consultation shapes the choice of technique, the extent of the lift and whether neck work is included.

Recovery after a deep plane facelift usually follows a predictable arc. Swelling and bruising are most noticeable in the first one to two weeks; many patients return to daily activities around weeks three to four; and final results typically settle over three to six months.

Patients considering facial rejuvenation often value clear, honest guidance about what surgery can and cannot do. Dr. Azizzadeh's consultation process is where those expectations are set, including candidacy, timing, and how a deep plane facelift fits with any other procedures under consideration.

Beverly Hills is a well-known center for facial plastic surgery in the United States. DeepPlane.com lists 62 deep plane facelift surgeons in the city, so patients here can compare training, experience and technique before making a decision.

Patients who live outside Southern California can begin with a virtual consultation, which the practice's website lists among its resources. The practice can be reached by phone at +1 310 657 2203, according to its website, and the surgeon shares work on Instagram at @drazizzadeh.
