My full experience at the Arizona plastic facials was pleasant and very helpful! I’m a college student and with the treatments I get it helps keep my acne under control. I’ve been getting treatments with Anais for about only 6-7 months, one treatment a month and I’ve seen a dramatic change in my skin health. Anais has been so amazing, she always makes sure I’m educated about my skin issues and all the treatments I’m getting for it. She really understands and always recommends the best products for me to use at home. I’m always looking forward to my next appointment

I highly recommend Arizona Facial Plastics!!! Dr. T is a true expert! He's not just up-to-date on research and cutting-edge technology -- he actually designs better machines for treatments which he uses in his practice. So if you want the best, then this is the place. Arizona Facial Plastics, is not all about plastic surgery, they offer a wide variety of non-invasive treatments that will rejuvenate your skin in a healthy and natural way. AFP is a top-notch practice and Dr. T. has an incredible team! Everyone there is knowledgeable, kind, patient and helpful. Dr T, Shea, Felicia and Barbara have all gone out of their way to help explain things and answer my questions. You couldn't ask for better service!

I had a lower face and neck lift done by Dr. T 6 months ago. I am very pleased with the results so far and the treatment I have received from the doctor and his staff. Shea is very patient and answered ALL my questions. I can honestly say I never had any real pain after the procedure. I was healed and looking presentable enough to return to work in 10 days! Their after care has been wonderful. They truly seem dedicated to getting you the best possible result!

I love AZ Facial Plastics! I have had the CO2 treatment and several hydra facials. The hydra facial is on my calendar every 6 weeks - my skin looks better after each visit! The entire staff is professional and kind. The other day my friend asked me, “Okay your skin looks so good; you look 10 years younger. What did you do?” Of course I told her all about AZ Facial Plastics!

I’ve been going to med spa’s (although this office is more than a med spa) for almost 10 years so I have a large basis for comparison; I was extremely impressed with Arizona Facial Plastics. Every staff member was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, polite, and soothing. I felt extremely comfortable at every stage of treatment (I did microneedling, a laser, and neurotoxins) knowing that I was in good hands. I feel like I’m a pretty tough critic when it comes to stuff like this but honestly I highly recommend this company. I will be switching to AZ Facial Plastics for all my future treatments.

Dr. T is truly the man! His expertise and talents are second to none and he has an exceptional bedside matter. I love that he has at the forefront of technology, his products are incredible, and his staff is also top notch.

I have extreme confidence in the capabilities of the team at Arizona Facial Plastics surrounding their services in treatments in laser technology and non-invasive procedures to revitalize my skin and overall appearance. Very professional from both a medical and aesthetic services perspective.

I was beyond impressed with my experience at Arizona Facial Plastics. The staff takes the time to discuss various treatment options, discuss the pros and cons of each and genuinely values your input to collectively determine the best outcome. I never had skin issues as an adolescent. It wasn’t until a couple of years ago as an adult did my complexion change. I tried to fix my adult acne alone, until I found out it was due to a hormone imbalance. I was able to get to the root of the problem and got my hormones back under control again. I went to the office for a consult and I decided to go with a package with a few different treatments. They hit all the areas I wanted; improving my skin texture from scarring, lessening the redness and getting rid of the brown pigment spots from the sun and acne. I got additional benefits from the treatments like less fine lines and wrinkles. The staff told me it would be a process and I must say that I am so happy with my results. My patience did pay off, because I love my skin again. On top of expert care, the staff is very open and friendly. They email appointment reminders and text to confirm appointments. I received excellent discounts I couldn’t get other places just by going with package deals. I feel so comfortable with everything about this place. I have zero complaints; this is an awesome practice that I would recommend to everyone.

This group works miracles! I had honestly given up hope before coming in and seeing them. They are all so kind and generous and walk you through your journey step by step. I cannot thank them enough for everything they have done for me!

I was So nervous to get my lips done since I’ve never had any work done before but Melissa made me feel so comfortable plus she’s been doing this for so long so I had complete trust in her! My lips came out AMAZING!!!

Finally last year I did some research and decided that it was finally the time to remove a raised forehead scar I've had since birth. Never having a proper diagnosis in the past I had tried creams, commercial lasering, etc with no success and results until I came to AZ facial plastics. Dr. Taghizadeh and his wonderful and friendly team worked with me trying to find the right treatment after so much disappointment from other places in the past. After going through a surgical scar removal procedure and CO2 lasering my scar is practically unnoticeable. Without their dedication and patience I would not have the successful results I have today. I owe them my new found self confidence, and definitely recommend them to anyone looking for similar results.

I had a great experience with Anais Bon! She was very personable and the Hydrafacial was an amazing experience. I would definitely recommend! Barbara at the front was super sweet and a pleasure to chat with as well. Overall a very relaxing experience.

Dr. T has the holy trinity of what it takes to give you an ideal result of your procedure. Skills, artistry, and great staff. I had rhinoplasty done about a month ago and I couldn't be happier with the results. I did not have bruising after my surgery, although I do have high pain tolerance, there was only a small amount of discomfort during the recovery period. Everyone around me was amazed at how natural, yet dramatically improved my new nose is. The staff was very attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Shea even answered my questions via text message when I needed to know if it was safe for me to go to Phoenix Open a week after the surgery. Rest assured, you'll be in the hands of an accomplished surgeon with artistic sensibility, and talent, as well as supportive stuff to give you the best results.

I can't say enough about the entire crew at AZ Facial Plastics. Love love love Dr. T, Felicia, Shea, Chamille, Sarah, and Ashley! They keep it real to what my skin needs and doesn't need. I appreciate their honesty and their knowledge! They are VERY progressive in their techniques. I feel like we have a little bit of Beverly Hills forward thinking right here in Phx!!!

This was my first experience getting a facial and I loved it. I had a skin consultation and learned a lot about my skin and what we could could do to help with some of my issues. The staff was really nice and explained everything. I then had a hydra facial with an aesthetician and it was great. The treatment was relaxing and my skin was really hydrated and smooth at the end. I will definitely be going back!

Would like to leave feedback for Arizona facial plastic. They were amazing the first day I stepped in, Camille did most of my laser treatments professionally and was very courteous. Kind words and understanding were not even describe on how nice she was to me. Walked and talked with me through the whole process. Super professionally as I could expect. How do you recommend Arizona facial plastic for any services or treatments anybody might need.

I loved my experience with them. The staff and doctor were friendly and very helpful. The outside of the office building do not look like much but the inside suites are very nice. I had plastic surgery on my face. And of course I was nervous. I arrived at a separate surgical center and was treated very well. I felt comfortable with the staff. Now I’m almost 2 weeks after my surgery and I’m very happy. My face is healing up real fast. And I’ll get follow up maintenance for my skin.

I have been very impressed with this office. My experience has wonderful from my initial consultation to the technicians. I had been going to "med spas" in the past and was not getting the results I wanted. As soon as I met with Shea I knew this was different. He went over my concerns, took some very cool photos showing exactly where the damage was. He put together a very realistic package (both in time and money) for me to better get the results I wanted. All of the treatments have been amazing as well. Camille is truly an expert at what she does! I can't say enough positive things about this office. I live in North Scottsdale and will continue to come to this clinic even though there are many other options that are closer. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to improve their skin.

The office is gorgeous, receptionist was very friendly and knowledgeable, the nurse that did my fillers and botox was amazing! She is very good at what she does and very knowledgeable....and she has a great hand, my injections were not painful for me. I will definadefinitely be coming back!😄

I see Camille on an average of once of month. It's unbelievable what she has done. She did laser hair removal from the waist down and anyone that says it's an expenditure they can not afford, crunch the numbers. Not only does it eliminate scars from the use of razors being a thing of the past, you will be smooth as silk because regrowth and stubble vanishes!! Thank you Camille!!! Life Changer!!!

My experience at Arizona Facial Plastics was outstanding. My issues were lines above and below my lips and an uneven chin line. The staff took 3D images and Dr. Taghizadeh recommended the use of fillers. The success of the procedure depends not only on the quality of the products. The skill, experience and frankly the aesthetic eye of the professional performing the procedure is decisive for the outcome. This practice makes a point of being in the forefront of new products and technics and ensures maximum education and training of their staff. I was so pleased with the results as well as with the professional demeanor of the staff that I highly recommend Arizona Facial Plastics.

Wanting to look more awake, but not wanting to have my eyelids cut (and possibly end up looking like someone else entirely- yikes)...I decided to have CO2 laser performed around my eyes by Dr. Taghizadeh last week. The procedure was fast, pretty painless (thanks to their amazing numbing cream) and while I was red and puffy for a few days, my eyes are already more open and my under eye skin is much smoother. The best part about having CO2 around my eyes is I still look like myself, just much more refreshed. I love it! Thank you Dr. T and Arizona Facial Plastics for such wonderful results!

I experienced the Vivace micro needling with RF on my face and neck. I am VERY pleased to note that my face looks and feels more firm, like there is an extra layer of fullness beneath the skin. Exactly what I hoped to achieve! I liked that the treatments did not require me to hide out at home afterwards. At 53, my neck was changing drastically but the Vivace treatment actually made a huge difference! I'm no longer self-conscious about my neckline at all. Everything is back where it once was and I think I look great for my age. The process requires a little patience but I like the idea of waking up and looking a little better everyday. I recommend this treatment and Dr. T. Also, every member of the team was a pleasure and really went out of their way to ensure I had a good experience and outcome! And I did!

Facelift in Phoenix, AZ

A facelift is a great way to reverse the visible effects of aging on your face to create a younger, more rejuvenated appearance. Board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Farhan Taghizadeh, at Arizona Facial Plastics, PC, has years of experience helping both men and women who live in and around Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and the surrounding communities of Arizona achieve a better and more youthful appearance at any age.

What is a Facelift?

A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the United States. Its job is to reshape the skin and muscles around the face to provide more definition, smoother contours or simply a more youthful appearance. The procedure can either be performed on its own or in conjunction with other procedures, such as liposuction or dermal filler injections, to create a more complete makeover.

Benefits of a Facelift

Facelifts tighten and smooth out sagging skin to make the face appear younger and healthier. This can include the lower face and jowls, double chin or sagging skin around the jaw. It can also eliminate wrinkles, creases, laugh lines, crow’s feet and other common signs of aging. The surgeon may also choose to transfer fat from one part of the body, such as the stomach or thighs, and inject it into certain areas of the face to fill in gaps and create a fuller overall look.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Facelift?

How do you know if a facelift is right for you? If you’re a healthy adult who wants to eliminate loose or sagging skin and reverse the signs of aging around your facial area, then you might want to consider a facelift. It can also help to improve:

Loose or sagging skin in the middle of your face

Sagging jowls or skin around the jawline
Fat deposits or sagging skin beneath your chin, which can create a double chin or turkey neck.

Dr. Taghizadeh will sit down with you and examine your facial features to determine whether or not a facelift procedure is right for you. Some important factors include:

Your skin’s overall condition: Your skin needs to be at least somewhat flexible and elastic in order for the procedure to be most effective.
Your bone structure: During a facelift procedure a lot of your face’s fat and tissue is moved around or relocated. Your face’s overall bone structure needs to be able to support the shifting.
Your health: If you have poor overall health or a preexisting medical condition you might not be a good candidate for facial surgery. For any major surgery, it’s important that you be in good health, not only for the procedure itself, but to aid in recovery after it’s finished.
Your Expectations of the Results: The results of facelift procedures vary from patient to patient. In order to get maximum satisfaction from the surgery, it’s essential that you go in with realistic expectations of what the procedure can do for you and what you’ll look like once it’s complete.

The Facelift Procedure

For many patients, a facelift is one of the safest and easiest ways to smooth wrinkles, erase fine lines and obtain an overall more youthful appearance. The procedure begins with anesthetic. Dr. Taghizadeh usually recommends a general dosage to ensure that you sleep during the surgery. However, some patients prefer to be alert and awake, so you may discuss your options with the doctor.

After anesthetic is administered, Dr. Taghizadeh continues the facelift surgery by making an incision at one temple line. From there, he continues the incision onto the area just above the ear and then circles around the earlobe and returns back to the point of the initial incision. Dr. Taghizadeh will gently move the skin outward for repositioning and tightening, smoothing out the surface. If necessary, he may excise excess fat or skin. Finally, the doctor will close the incision with fine sutures, leaving you with a rejuvenated, younger looking face.

Revision Facelift

If you’ve had a previous facelift and the results are proving unsatisfactory or otherwise problematic, Dr. Taghizadeh can perform revision surgery to help correct the previous procedure. A revision surgery takes special care and an expert hand to carry out correctly and provide a lasting, natural look in the end, but Dr. Taghizadeh is qualified for the job.

There are two basic ways a facelift surgery can cause problems: Under-treated surgeries don’t last very long and can cause the skin to start sagging again after a while or wrinkles and lines to reappear. Over-treated surgeries, on the other hand, make the skin too tight and leave the patient’s face with a hollow, sunken look. Both of these issues can damage and distort a person’s appearance.

Mini Facelift

A mini facelift is smaller in scope and less invasive than a full facelift. Incisions are made in the same places, but they’re smaller and less noticeable. A mini facelift generally targets a single area, such as the cheek muscles or the neck. It’s a more minor surgical procedure, and recovery is generally quicker.

Facelift Recovery

After a facelift procedure, you can expect a short period of recovery and possible bruising or slight swelling. Dr. Taghizadeh will explain how to use ice packs around different areas of your face to reduce swelling. This can greatly reduce some of the discomfort you may experience. In addition, the doctor will recommend that you rest for at least two days after the surgery. During this time, it’s wise to eat and drink lightly, such as broths, soups, and clear beverages. It’s possible that the anesthesia can impact your appetite and digestion, making you feel slightly nauseated when consuming solid foods. Some patients are comfortable with heavier foods within a few days after the facelift procedure.

In general, you should take it easy for a few days after the facelift in order to speed up your recovery. Patients are usually able to return to work and normal daily activities within a week or so.

How Long Does A Face Lift Last?

It’s important to note that a facelift only reverses the physical effects of aging on your face. It does not stop the aging process altogether. Therefore, even after you’ve had a facelift, the effects of aging may still continue to wear on your face after a while. Your face may lose elasticity with age, as well as suffer the ill effects of smoking, weight loss or gain, sun damage and more. All of these things may negatively impact the results of your facelift over time. Once your skin has been rejuvenated, it’s important to keep it looking young and healthy for as long as possible. This means proper skin care, sunscreen, a healthy diet and lifestyle and avoiding smoking and other harmful behaviors. This will help your facelift to last longer and keep you looking young for years to come.

How Much Does a Facelift Cost in Phoenix?

Most insurance companies consider plastic surgery to be an elective procedure and do not offer coverage for these procedures; a facelift treatment is usually excluded from policies. In order to make these procedures and other plastic surgeries financially accessible and affordable, Arizona Facial Plastics, PC accepts cash, checks and credit cards. In addition, financing is offered through Prosper® Healthcare Lending and CareCredit®. If you have any questions about the facelift procedure, recovery, costs or financing options at Arizona Facial Plastics, PC, please give us a call.

Is your face showing the signs of aging? Do you want to look young again?

Dr. Taghizadeh and his team provide a myriad of plastic, cosmetic and reconstructive surgery options for residents of Phoenix, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and the surrounding areas.
