Dr. Catherine Chang, FACS

Trained at Harvard and board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Catherine Chang has spent more than twelve years refining the deep plane facelift in Beverly Hills. As of July 2026, Dr. Chang practices at Privé Beverly Hills, a private surgical setting Dr. Chang founded around a philosophy Dr. Chang calls NakedBeauty.

Dr. Catherine Chang is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon who specializes in deep plane facelift surgery, facial rejuvenation, and neck and jawline contouring. Dr. Chang's work centers on results that look natural rather than operated.

Dr. Chang's signature idea is elegantly simple. Dr. Chang believes beauty should hold up without makeup, filters, or digital enhancement — confidence in one's natural form.

Dr. Chang holds credentials as a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and is listed as a member of The Aesthetic Society, one of the field's respected aesthetic organizations. Dr. Chang's training reflects a background in craniofacial and reconstructive surgery.

The deep plane facelift is the procedure most associated with their name. This technique works beneath the SMAS (the superficial muscular layer that supports the face) to reposition tissue as a single unit rather than pulling on skin alone.

This distinction matters to the women who seek Dr. Chang out. By lifting deeper anatomy, the deep plane approach aims to correct facial aging at its structural source, softening the midface and jawline without a tight or wind-swept appearance.

Dr. Chang describes Dr. Chang's process as a conversation before it is ever a procedure. During consultation, Dr. Chang discusses openly what is realistic and achievable, then customizes a plan around each patient's anatomy, genetics, skin, and cultural heritage.

Their philosophy resists rigid, one-size-fits-all standards of appearance. Because beauty is deeply personal, she treats each face as an individual problem to be solved with artistry and precision rather than a template.

Beverly Hills forms the backdrop for Dr. Chang's practice. The city has long been a global destination for facial rejuvenation, and Dr. Chang operates within a competitive community of experienced surgeons there.

Dr. Chang's scope extends beyond the facelift itself. Patients frequently combine deep plane surgery with complementary procedures such as neck contouring and jawline refinement to achieve balanced, harmonious rejuvenation.

Recovery is a subject Dr. Chang addresses candidly with every candidate. A deep plane facelift typically involves an initial period of swelling and bruising, followed by a gradual return to daily life over several weeks and continued refinement of results over months.

Beyond the operating room, Dr. Chang is described as a published author, clinical educator, and internationally invited speaker. This teaching dimension reflects an ongoing engagement with the evolution of facial surgery techniques.

Their accolades include recognition among Newsweek's America's Top Plastic Surgeons across several recent years. While such honors are external, they point to a sustained presence in the field of aesthetic surgery.

For women in their fifties and sixties weighing this decision, Dr. Chang positions herself as a partner in a considered process. Dr. Chang's stated goal is a result so natural it becomes a patient's best-kept secret.

Dr. Catherine Chang's practice, Privé Beverly Hills, welcomes patients seeking a personalized approach to deep plane facelift surgery and facial rejuvenation in one of the world's most established aesthetic destinations.
