The decision to pursue a facelift is rarely small. The procedure represents an investment of significant time, money, and emotional energy — and the difference between a result that takes ten years off naturally and one that announces itself as obvious surgery comes down almost entirely to the surgeon performing it. For Pasadena-area patients considering facelift surgery, Dr. John Anastasatos’s Beverly Hills practice is accessible across the LA basin, offering the aesthetic refinement that Pasadena patients expect.

Dr. Anastasatos was profiled by the Beverly Hills Courier in a feature titled “Anastasatos turns Body Restoration into art form” — a profile reflecting his reputation specifically for refined aesthetic surgical work. He has presented at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Grand Rounds on advanced surgical techniques, and has practiced cosmetic plastic surgery in Beverly Hills since 2007, with over two decades of experience refining the techniques that distinguish an excellent facelift from an obvious one. Board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and named by The Luxe Insider as one of the Top 10 Plastic Surgeons in the World.

What a Facelift Addresses

A comprehensive facelift simultaneously addresses descent of the malar fat pad in the cheek, deepening nasolabial folds, jowl formation along the jawline, nasojugal folds beneath the eyes, and upper neck laxity. Proper midface elevation — repositioning the malar fat pad — is the foundation of an excellent facelift result, creating cheek fullness, removing jowls, and producing the natural rejuvenation that distinguishes a refined outcome from an obvious one.

The Facelift Approach

Dr. Anastasatos performs the full range of facelift options — mini, lower, deep plane, MACS/SMAS, percutaneous, fat transfer, and revision procedures — matched precisely to each patient’s anatomy and stage of facial aging. The approach is built around hairline preservation, with incisions placed along the hairline rather than within hair-bearing scalp. Properly executed and meticulously closed, facelift incisions become almost invisible once healed — and patients over 55 often produce the cleanest scarring of all because aging skin produces less aggressive scar tissue during healing.

“The art form profile that the Beverly Hills Courier published reflects the standard I aim for across all my facial work. A facelift should restore the patient’s natural younger face — not produce a different face. That principle drives every technical decision in the operating room.” — Dr. John Anastasatos
