John Vartanian MD

The practice is a facial plastic surgery office in Glendale. It describes itself as one of Southern California's most trusted facial plastic surgery practices and as boutique and human-scale. Its work is limited to the face, head and neck, covering both surgical procedures and non-surgical cosmetic treatments.

Surgical options include rhinoplasty in several forms (revision, ethnic, functional and preservation), septoplasty, a mini facelift, cheek lift, V lift, neck lift and complete facelift, endoscopic brow lift, blepharoplasty, facial implants, chin augmentation and chin tuck, otoplasty, scar correction and earlobe repair. Facial and neck liposuction, including micro-liposuction, and facial fat injections using the patient's own fat are also offered.

Non-surgical care includes BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport and Xeomin for dynamic wrinkles, a range of hyaluronic acid and collagen-based fillers, lip augmentation, under-eye filler treatment and a liquid facelift that combines fillers and neurotoxins. BOTOX is also used for non-cosmetic purposes such as migraines, hyperhidrosis and TMJ-related problems. Laser and light options include Thermage, Clear + Brilliant, fractional and Fraxel repair laser work, IPL photofacial, SculpSure, profound skin tightening and laser hair removal.

Each visit starts with a consultation. Facelift consultations include computer imaging to preview potential results. Filler and neurotoxin treatments begin with an assessment of the face to choose the product and injection sites, and a topical numbing cream may be applied first. A follow-up visit is recommended seven to 14 days after filler injections. The surgeon also offers pro bono services at the West-LA VA/UCLA and LA County-USC Medical Centers.

The practice aims for natural-appearing results, with an emphasis on balance, restraint and proportion. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual rather than following one standard protocol.
