Richard V Balikian, MD – Balikian Facial Plastic Surgery

Just had a derma plane and hydro facial. Excellent!
Keeping your skin moist and smooth is the key to anti-​aging. Thank you Loana for helping me stay fresh.
all the great new products!

Dr Richard Balikian is an excellent plastic Surgeon! I’m a 52 year old female. He did my upper eyelid surgery and I couldn’t be more happy with the results! Also, just yesterday, I had Restylane silk injections in my lips and Botox and I love it!

I was referred to DR Balikian by a friend & satisfied patient. At my consultation everything was explained fully as to what to expect also a goody bag of stuff to take before & after the procedure, I had lower blepharoplasty after years of suffering with puffy under eye bags. The results are amazing & I would definitely recommend Dr B for this procedure & if you are looking for a good facial plastic surgeon in general. The office staff are great, very friendly & appointments always start on time. Follow up care is amazing too.

Jo Ann is wonderful. I went in to get lip fillers and I love them. This is my second time getting my lips done and the first time was not all that great (at another location) but after researching places I found Dr. Balikians office. Jo Ann listened to my concerns and listened to what I wanted and I give her a big thumbs up for that. I would highly recommend this place.

I haven’t felt good about my skin in 16 years. Honestly. From acne scaring to discoloration to my severe addiction to picking, it has been haunting me. I finally trusted someone with my face again after countless attempts with no success. I met Dr. Balikian and his staff and feel so confident that this is where I am supposed to be. After one appt. Dr. B and his staff, (Joanna is awesome!) I feel good again. I am 38 and have the usual skin damage from sun and it is all lightening. My face feels more even toned and tight. I am just so happy. I didn’t feel that they were trying to sell me anything, but wanted ME TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF! Can’t wait for the next time. I live in Carlsbad and it was so worth the drive, as well. Thank you again, guys!

I have known and been a client of Loana for almost 20 years now. She has really perfected her craft to a «T». She is gentle and effective, knowledgeable and informative. I honestly wouldn’t trust putting my skin in the hands of anyone other than her. She’s that good. I would not only highly recommend her services, but would only refer anyone inquiring to her and her alone. Whatever skincare treatment you’re seeking and/​or questioning, I recommend consulting with Loana first. She will not only ease your trepidation, she will advise and perform to the highest level in the industry.

LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOVE Loanna! After having many facials before, she has been the only aesthetician to really figure out my skin.

I’ve struggled with problematic, uneven, acne prone skin for most of my adult life and I can honestly say that Loana is the ONLY person I trust with my face! She is knowledgable, friendly, and SO great at what she does! She customizes my treatment to meet all of my skin’s needs and is the sole contributing factor to my improved skin tone & texture. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a quality skin care professional.

I have been coming here for years for Botox. I love that the approach is natural. No one ever suspects I do Botox and I look great not frozen or plastic!

Dr Balikian is amazing! I had a rhinoplasty done January 2015 and my results are wonderful! Dr Baikian is professional, friendly and takes his time with you. His staff is wonderful also. After years of being so self conscious of my nose I am so thankful that Dr Balikian was able to work his magic on me. I also see him for botox and the results are fanatastic as well! Thank you Dr Balikian!

Dr Balikian is def the top plastic surgeon in in IE. After several consultations with other Facial Surgeons, and with a recommendation of a good friend, I made my final decision to schedule a consultation and schedule my surgery with Dr. Balikian. He explained the process to me in detail.
He’s very professional and friendly. I had many questions up to the day of my surgery, and he continued to put my mind at ease.
Fast forward to today, I had my surgery and I couldn’t be happier. He is super caring as he called me within 24 hours to check up on me. Im very pleased with the results and his entire office staff.
Thank you, Doctor! I will be referring you to others.

I have been getting facials for the last two years from Loana and I won’t go anywhere else! She is so great at providing excellent skin care for my face and recommending the correct products for my skin type. My favorite facial is the Dermaplane with a mask which has helped my skin to keep a shiny clear appearance. It has also helped to diminish large pores and sun spots. I highly recommend Loana’s skincare expertise to anyone looking for clear beautiful skin.

LOANA IS THE AMAZING SECRET AT The office… she has kept my skin healthy and youthful with our regular visits for over 3 years. One of the best and most knowledgeable estheticians I have ever met. It has been Loana’s consistent attention to my entire skin that is the special touch which brings any and all procedures I’ve had done at the office together. I would encourage everyone to include sessions with her to complete your treatment plan for optimal results.
With that said I have to say the entire office is warm and inviting. My personal experiences are with Dr Balikian himself, who is the most amazing facial specialist I have been fortunate to call my Dr for 4+ years. Joanne is a comfort, literally, and a pleasure. She is always honest with those meticulous up keeps, never overdoing or pushing. And I must also mention Ashley who always greets me with a warm smile that draws me in to find out the new techniques they are always introducing. Thanks all! It’s my pleasure.

Dr Balikian is great, I have been going to him for over two years now. Also, just this year I started to get facials with Loana and I can’t get enough. Loana does a great job at always making me comfortable and cleaning and hydrating my skin, she is very knowledgeable and knows exactly what my skin needs.

Joanne, the nurse practitioner, is amazing! She makes you feel comfortable and she doesn’t pressure you into committing to procedures when she’s explaining the options!

Dr. Balikian is the best! My experiences with him have been the ultimate. As a «I am not giving up ever» baby boomer, I have found the numerous procedures he has done for me fantastic and his continual suggestions and advice priceless. I know he is looking out for my best interest and not his own. His double board certification and the fact that he is fellowship-​trained really means he’s got the skills and it shows. I wish you could all see my before and afters! Plus Dr. Balikian and his staff’s youthful personality, caring nature and professional attitude make them really my only trusted choice.

Dr. Balikian is top notch. When I was searching for a doctor in the area I have to say I was surprised to find him here. His training is impressive and when you meet him in person, he is equally as impressive. I’ve been in a bunch of times now for various things, some a bit more major than others. I am extremely happy that I found Dr Balikian and will not go anywhere else. I refer everyone I know to him. You will be in the best of hands here. Everyone in his office is great. Do yourself a favor and go see him! :)

Where do I even start… I love Dr. B! He’s an amazing Doctor. He genuinely cares about his patients.

Dr. Balikian and staff are amazing!!!
All throughout elementary, Jr. High, and High School my beautiful daughter was bullied because of her «big» nose. At the age of 17, we obtained 4 rhinoplasty consultations with 4 different plastic surgeons. Only 1 out of the 4 doctors recommended that my daughter waited on having the procedure until she was at least 20. This doctor explained that at the age of 17 facial features are not fully developed. THIS DOCTOR WAS DR. BALIKIAN. The other three doctors were more concerned about booking the procedure and getting paid.
3 years later my daughter went back to Dr. Balikian. She had the rhinoplasty procedure done and the results were amazing! I not only witnessed the transformation of her new nose but also witnessed the emotional scars of the bullying disappear.

Thank you for a job well done Dr. Balikian and Staff!!!

As good as it gets! I’ve only gotten Botox injections from Dr. Balikian but I can say this, of all of the doctors and clinics I’ve been to for Botox around San Diego, Rich is the first one that didn’t tell me I needed 60+ units in my forehead or tried to upsell me on another product, service or appointment. His work speaks for itself but honesty in the cosmetic industry to tough, if not impossible, to find. Look no further.
