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 Tulare-area patients in California’s Central Valley considering facelift surgery, Dr. John Anastasatos’s Beverly Hills practice is accessible by direct drive south.

Dr. Anastasatos completed his plastic surgery training under Dr. Luis Vasconez at the University of Alabama at Birmingham — one of history’s foremost plastic surgeons and the inventor of the endoscopic brow lift, whose tutelage shaped Dr. Anastasatos’s understanding of midface architecture, malar fat pad anatomy, and the deeper structural principles that determine whether a facelift produces a natural or an obvious result. He has also delivered plenary lectures at the Pan-Hellenic Congress of Plastic Surgery at the highest academic level. 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, loss of jaw definition, 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 improving multiple visible signs of aging simultaneously.

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, ensuring incisions are placed to preserve the natural sideburn and avoid the hairline distortion that signals an obvious facelift result.

“The deeper structures of the face dictate the result. A facelift that only tightens skin will not produce a natural outcome. A facelift that addresses the malar fat pad and the architectural foundations of the face produces results that age gracefully and look genuinely younger, not stretched.” — Dr. John Anastasatos
