Ara A. Salibian, MD

Dr. Salibian completed their medical education at the University of California, Irvine, establishing an academic foundation that continues to shape Dr. Salibian's practice. Their career reflects a deep engagement with both the technical and reconstructive sides of plastic surgery.

Their clinical focus includes the deep plane facelift, a surgical technique that repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin. This approach targets the underlying structures responsible for facial aging.

Dr. Salibian is also fellowship-trained in microsurgery, a discipline requiring precise manipulation of small blood vessels and delicate tissues. This background informs the meticulous handling of tissue that facial rejuvenation surgery demands.

Their broader specialties encompass reconstructive surgery, breast reconstruction, lymphedema treatment, oncoplastic breast reconstruction, and prepectoral breast reconstruction. This range reflects a surgeon comfortable across complex reconstructive challenges.

At UC Davis Health and within the Sutter Health network, Dr. Salibian practices in institutional settings that combine academic medicine with clinical care. These affiliations place Dr. Salibian's work within established Sacramento medical infrastructure.

The deep plane facelift Dr. Salibian offers addresses the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of connective tissue and muscle beneath the skin). By working beneath this layer, surgeons aim for natural-looking, durable results.

Dr. Salibian is a member of the California Society of Plastic Surgeons, a professional body that connects surgeons across the state. Such memberships reflect ongoing engagement with the surgical community.

Their approach to facial rejuvenation emphasizes restoring facial harmony rather than creating an over-tightened appearance. Deep plane techniques are designed to reposition tissue in its natural vector, preserving expression.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift is a gradual process, and Dr. Salibian's reconstructive background lends attention to careful tissue handling. Patients are guided through each phase of healing with structured aftercare.

Sacramento, California's capital, offers a blend of accessibility and established medical resources. The city serves patients across Northern California and beyond who seek facial rejuvenation surgery.

Dr. Salibian's dual expertise in microsurgery and aesthetic surgery is notable, as the precision required in reconnecting microscopic vessels translates naturally to the delicate dissection of a deep plane facelift. This crossover shapes Dr. Salibian's surgical philosophy.

Patients considering Dr. Ara A. Salibian typically value a surgeon whose experience extends across both cosmetic and reconstructive domains. Dr. Salibian's long tenure reflects sustained commitment to surgical practice.

Across their decades of work, Dr. Salibian has built a practice grounded in technical rigor, patient-centered planning, and the reconstructive precision that microsurgical training instills in facial rejuvenation surgery.
