The facial plastic surgeon other surgeons learn from.

A facial plastic surgeon improves the aesthetics of patients’ faces through both surgical and non-surgical techniques. It takes many years of intense study and training to become a licensed and board-certified facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Batniji.

As one of the best facial plastic surgeons, Dr. Batniji purposefully limits himself to surgery on the face and neck. This focus allows him to dedicate more time and study to his area of specialization.

Other plastic surgeons may perform procedures on the abdomen, upper arms, or other areas, but Dr. Batniji works exclusively with the face and neck.

Some of the most popular treatments he offers include facelifts, rhinoplasties (nose jobs), and blepharoplasties (eyelid surgery).

Dr. Batniji is also a facial reconstructive surgeon, helping patients with facial trauma, genetic defects, and diseases—such as skin cancer—that have affected their facial appearance. Facial reconstructive surgery is concerned with restoring normal function and look.

In addition to surgical interventions, Dr. Batniji offers non-surgical treatments such as Botox and dermal filler injections. These treatments can be extremely helpful for patients with mild cosmetic concerns or those who wish to avoid surgery.

The best age to have a facelift is the age that’s right for you. If this sounds confusing, it’s because everyone ages differently. For example, a person in their fifties may naturally appear to be in their thirties and vice versa.

Most people begin to show signs of aging in their thirties, and these intensify in the following decades. Dr. Batniji can help guide you in the decision-making process and let you know when you can gain the most benefits from a facelift while still maintaining a natural appearance.

A rhytidectomy, better known as a facelift, is a popular cosmetic surgical procedure that can “turn back the clock” and give you a more youthful look. For many decades, the SMAS facelift was the go-to procedure for surgical rejuvenation.

Today, surgeons frequently use the deep-plane facelift in place of the SMAS facelift. It’s not that the deep-plane technique is better, though it can produce superior results in certain cases. For instance, patients with deep wrinkles or who need a dramatic improvement in the cheek areas may benefit from a deep-plane facelift rather than a SMAS procedure.

Dr. Batniji and his team are here to walk you through the entire facelift process. They’ll explain the different techniques, lay out all your options, and help you make the best choice.

Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is generally considered a major procedure. An upper blepharoplasty can repair droopy eyelids that limit your field of vision or simply make you appear older. Lower blepharoplasty is useful for resolving bags beneath the eyes.

Any surgical procedure carries risks. However, blepharoplasty is not surgery on the eyes themselves. Also, blepharoplasty is almost always done on an outpatient basis, meaning no hospital stay is necessary. Blepharoplasty can be performed on one eyelid at a time or on both eyelids simultaneously.

Botox is the brand name of botulinum toxin, which is derived from bacteria. It acts as a neuromodulator, blocking nerve impulses that signal muscles to contract.

When you receive Botox injections, certain muscles in your face will relax. Contractions of these muscles are responsible for many dynamic facial lines and wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles result from repetitive facial movements, such as smiling or squinting. Botox can be beneficial for diminishing crow’s feet (wrinkles near the eyes), forehead wrinkles, and vertical neck bands.

Keep in mind that the maximum results from Botox will not appear immediately. It takes approximately three to five days to see the full benefits. Your results will likely last around three to four months after your injections, and maintenance treatments are recommended after this time.
