Dr. Babak Azizzadeh was featured in Jamie Rosen’s Substack newsletter Office of the Surface in “Vol. 87 – Giving the Facelift Its Flowers,” published August 21, 2026. The issue looks at how the facelift has moved into the mainstream cultural conversation and why the quality of today’s results deserves more recognition than the procedure has historically received.
In the piece, Rosen names a select group of face-focused plastic surgeons whose work she follows and recommends, listing Dr. Azizzadeh among the leading facial plastic surgeons in California. The feature includes a direct link to Dr. Azizzadeh’s Instagram, @drazizzadeh.
The newsletter explores how patients’ reasons for seeking a facelift are evolving: wanting their outside appearance to match how they feel inside, looking less tired, recognizing themselves in the mirror again, and increasingly, simply wanting to look better. Rosen also highlights the artistry behind modern facial rejuvenation, where surgeons make precise, millimeter-level refinements to create balance and harmony rather than an unnatural look. Citing American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) data, the issue notes that members performed 53,223 partial and full facelifts last year, an increase of more than 30 percent over the prior year.
Office of the Surface is a weekly beauty newsletter by Jamie Rosen focused on what actually works, from skincare to surgery, and reaches approximately 2,000 subscribers.
