Awaken Aesthetics

Awaken Aesthetics is a plastic and cosmetic surgery practice in Torrance, California, serving Torrance and the wider South Bay. The practice says its aim is to keep patients at the center of care and to help them reach their goals while keeping a natural look. It says its surgeons were voted among the top cosmetic surgeons by the Daily Breeze and BestofLA, and that it draws patients from across the country and abroad.

A visit usually starts with listening. The team takes time to hear what a patient wants and to talk through all of the available options. Brow lift consultations take about 45 minutes, facelift consultations an hour and Juvederm consultations 30 to 45 minutes. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, with Saturdays by appointment only. Pre- and post-operative instruction documents are provided for laser resurfacing, eyelid, face and neck surgery, and liposuction and fat grafting.

The surgical side covers the eyes, brows, face, neck and body. Brow lifts come in six forms: direct, indirect, endoscopic (Endobrow), petrichial, temporal and trichial. Facelifts include mini and full versions, and a neck lift is often performed alongside. A facelift can be combined with eyelid surgery, a cheek lift or rhinoplasty so the recovery happens at one time. Asian eyelid and facial procedures include double eyelid surgery, epicanthoplasty and lateral canthoplasty. Liposuction and SmartLipo are offered for body contouring.

Non-surgical services include neuromodulator and filler injectables, CoolSculpting and CoolTone body treatments, Ultherapy, microneedling, TCA chemical peels, mesotherapy and platelet rich plasma for the face. Hair restoration covers the scalp, eyebrows and high forehead, with FUE-based beard, mustache and body hair transplants also offered. The site notes that individual results may vary.

Takes time to listen and to discuss every available option, with the aim of a natural look. Botox injections are tailored to each patient's facial structure.
