His clinical philosophy centers on a simple idea often described on his own practice materials as "Still You, Only Improved." The goal is not to alter a patient's identity but to reveal a rested, natural version of the face.
Dr. Frankel practices in Beverly Hills, one of the most established cities in the world for cosmetic and facial surgery. Patients from across the United States and abroad travel there to consult established facial specialists.
A deep plane facelift is a technique that lifts and repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin. Dr. Andrew Frankel is among the surgeons in Beverly Hills who focus specifically on this more advanced approach to facial aging.
The technique addresses the SMAS (the superficial musculo-aponeurotic system, a connective-tissue layer beneath the skin) as a unified layer. By repositioning this deeper foundation, the deep plane method aims to restore facial volume in a natural direction.
Rhinoplasty forms a second major pillar of his practice. Dr. Frankel offers both primary rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty, the more complex surgery performed to correct a previous nose operation.
Beyond surgery, his practice offers a full range of facial rejuvenation options. These include blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), brow lift, neck lift, midface lift, lip lift, and non-surgical treatments such as injectables and laser skin resurfacing.
Dr. Andrew Frankel has been described in interviews as a facial plastic surgeon with a long-standing interest in teaching and fellowship training. His involvement in the field extends beyond individual patient care.
Recovery is a subject he is known to discuss candidly with patients. A deep plane facelift typically involves a period of swelling and bruising followed by a gradual return to normal life over several weeks, with final results emerging over months.
His practice at the Lasky Clinic in Beverly Hills also serves out-of-town patients, with dedicated resources for those traveling from other cities or countries. This reflects the international reach of the Beverly Hills surgical community.
Dr. Frankel's approach to facial aging tends to emphasize subtlety over dramatic change. The deep plane technique lends itself to this philosophy because it repositions tissue rather than pulling skin tight.
Patients considering a consultation will find that Dr. Andrew Frankel combines decades of experience with a focus limited to the face. This concentration allows for refined attention to the specific anatomy of aging in the midface, jawline, and neck.
For affluent patients researching facial rejuvenation, the combination of ABFPRS certification, a quarter-century of practice, and a defined aesthetic philosophy makes his profile a common point of comparison in the Beverly Hills market.
Throughout his career, Dr. Frankel has maintained a media presence in the field of facial plastic surgery, with features in publications covering aesthetic medicine. This visibility reflects an established position within his specialty.
What recent patients say
4.8 / 5 · 71 Google reviewsWithout hesitation, I highly recommend Dr. Frankel for safe & natural work. He is extremely careful & observant. Dr. Frankel did a face & neck lift for me, and a laser peel. I consulted with four plastic surgeons in the LA area, and chose Dr. Frankel because I felt he would give me the most natural result. I am very happy with the results. He listened to what I wanted, & suggested a couple things that I had not considered. Dr. Frankel explained exactly how things would go, set realistic expectations, and put me completely at ease. His staff was professional and kind, the facility is outstanding.
Couldn't be more pleased with the results of my rhinoplasty. Dr. Frankel is an artist, and sculpted a beautiful nose that looks natural and congruent with my face and aesthetic. The staff, in the office and in the surgery center, were incredible. I felt listened to and truly taken care of every step of the way. Can't recommend him enough!
You couldn’t wish for a better surgeon than Dr. Frankel. Dr. Frankel has extensive experience and runs one of the top-rated facial surgery practices, he has lectured and taught at top universities and keeps always at the forefront of the latest developments in his field. Apart from his deep knowledge of facial plastic surgery, Dr. Frankel has a very good sense for aesthetics, achieving natural-looking results while significantly improving facial features and the overall appearance. Dr. Frankel is a pleasant, patient and attentive doctor that takes great care in explaining specific procedures and the surgical process, he is always honest about the type of outcomes that can be achieved, thereby conveying to patients a great sense of trust and confidence while managing expectations. Before embarking on my plastic surgery, I had conducted extensive research on the best professionals in the Los Angeles area, and Dr. Frankel stood out from the very beginning. Over the years, Dr. Frankel performed a rhinoplasty, an upper facelift, a lower facelift and a blepharoplasty on my face and I could not be happier with the results. He greatly improved my appearance without changing the character of my face, which every good surgeon should aim for. Also important, his practice features an extremely well-equipped surgery room. Dr. Frankel is a truly exceptional professional and I highly recommend him.
From as long as I can remember, my deepest insecurity was the shape of my nose. I was nervous about changing it because I wanted it to look as natural as possible and still feel like me. From the very first consultation, he listened carefully and truly understood what I wanted. He exceeded my expectations in every way. My nose looks exactly how I hoped it would, natural, balanced, and perfect for my face. Beyond the results, he is one of the most attentive, kind, and reassuring doctors. He made me feel heard and comfortable throughout the entire process, I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. I’m beyond grateful and couldn’t be happier with my decision.

Dr. Frankel's Surgical Approach
Dr. Andrew Frankel approaches the deep plane facelift as a technique focused on repositioning the deeper structural layers of the face rather than simply tightening skin.
Dr. Andrew Frankel approaches the deep plane facelift as a technique focused on repositioning the deeper structural layers of the face rather than simply tightening skin. This distinction is central to how modern rhytidectomy (the medical term for a facelift) differs from older methods.
The foundation of the technique is the SMAS, the superficial musculo-aponeurotic system. This is a continuous layer of connective tissue and muscle that sits between the skin and the deeper facial structures, and it governs much of how the face ages.
