BEVERLY HILLS, CA — Dr. Babak Azizzadeh, founder of the CENTER for Advanced Facial Plastic Surgery, has been featured in The Hollywood Reporter’s 2025 list of the top cosmetic doctors in Los Angeles and New York City. The recognition highlights his reputation as a leading expert in facelift surgery and facial nerve repair.
The piece highlights Dr. Azizzadeh as the kind of specialist that other doctors rely on for complex cases. His background includes Harvard training and a reputation for facelifts that look subtle and authentic instead of overly tightened. He also runs a busy private practice, teaches as a co-director of USC’s facial plastic and reconstructive surgery fellowship, and has published best-selling books.
When asked about his approach to facial aesthetics, Dr. Azizzadeh emphasized his commitment to preserving each patient’s unique identity. “True facial beauty comes from the harmony and balance of your own features, not someone else’s,” he shared. “What will look best is not a copy of another person’s face, but a refreshed, natural and more youthful version of yourself.”
This philosophy reflects a broader shift in cosmetic surgery, where patients increasingly seek results that enhance their appearance without drastically altering it. Dr. Azizzadeh’s dual board certification in facial plastic surgery, combined with his specialized training in facial nerve disorders, positions him uniquely among surgeons who focus on both aesthetic outcomes and functional restoration.
His Beverly Hills practice attracts patients from around the world seeking advanced procedures, including deep plane facelifts, rhinoplasty, and facial reanimation surgery. The center’s focus on individualized care and natural results has earned recognition from major media outlets over the years.
The Hollywood Reporter’s list features medical professionals across dermatology, plastic surgery, cosmetic dentistry, and oculoplastic surgery who serve high-profile clientele in both cities.
