In Dr. Reza Bolourian's own words

How Dr. Reza Bolourian describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • And this is how our contour lift evolved, focusing on deep plane, comprehensive facial rejuvenation surgery
  • Deeper plane facelift is not a separate facelift. It is the next evolution of my contour lift
  • When you hear me talking about deeper plane, think of it as another refinement within the contour lift surgery, not a completely different operation

Specialization

  • Specializes in Neck lift procedures.

Technique

  • After completing the traditional deep plane release, I selectively address deeper anatomy when indicated
  • The deeper plane component is now part of that evolution. It builds on the excellent results we have already achieved with extended deep plane facelift surgery
  • This allows us to address additional deeper facial structures historically were not routinely treated
  • Dr. Reza Bolourian's practice sometimes performs brow lifts.

Training & credentials

  • That number comes from twenty-two years and over 4,000 facelifts, including more than 1,200 ContourLifts since Dr. Bolourian developed the technique

Consultation

  • Offers virtual consultations.

Results

  • After years of performing facelift surgery, I began paying closer attention to areas that could remain despite an otherwise beautiful lift: persistent nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and heaviness around the mouth and lower face
  • A deep plane facelift provides a younger starting point from which the natural aging process continues.

About

Dr. Reza Bolourian, MD, FACS, is a Board Certified Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon practicing in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, serving patients across Orange County. He emphasizes that facial aging affects multiple layers, and his approach centers on releasing and repositioning deeper anatomical structures to restore underlying support. Dr. Bolourian believes this avoids excessive skin tension, aiming for a 'rested' look rather than a 'done' one. He states that facelift candidacy is determined by a patient's health, not their age. With 22 years of experience and over 4,000 facelifts performed, Dr. Bolourian specializes in Deep Plane Facelifts, Neck Lifts, and Facial Implants. He developed the ContourLift technique, which combines a deep plane face and neck lift, endoscopic temporal brow lift, and Sciton Erbium laser resurfacing in one comprehensive surgery. This approach lifts facial laxity, restores the jawline, and rejuvenates the skin, ensuring the surface matches the deeper structural work. Dr. Bolourian also offers virtual consultations and prepares patients for recovery expectations, including the raw appearance of skin after laser resurfacing.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Reza Bolourian

Sourced directly from Dr. Reza Bolourian's social posts and replies.

Where are procedures performed?
All procedures are performed in our AAAASF and state-accredited surgery center in Orange County, CA.
What is the ContourLift procedure?
The ContourLift is a comprehensive procedure developed by Dr. Bolourian that addresses facial laxity, restores the jawline, and rejuvenates the skin simultaneously. It combines a deep plane face and neck lift, an endoscopic temporal brow lift, facial fat transfer (in some cases), and Sciton Erbium laser resurfacing, all performed in a single operation. The technique focuses on releasing and repositioning the deeper facial layers and underlying structure, rather than just pulling skin, to achieve a rested, natural look.
How does Dr. Bolourian's 'Deeper' Plane Facelift differ from a traditional deep plane facelift?
While a traditional deep plane facelift is an excellent operation, Dr. Bolourian observed limitations, particularly with persistent nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and lower face heaviness. His 'Deeper' Plane Facelift is an evolution that, after the traditional deep plane release, selectively addresses deeper anatomy when indicated. This includes deep facial fat compartments, muscle and fascial support around the mouth, and deeper structural attachments of the lower face (referred to as 'Zone 4'). The goal is to precisely address the anatomical layer contributing to aging changes without adding more tension, respecting facial movement and nerve anatomy.
How long does a deep plane facelift last, and will I still age?
A deep plane facelift typically lasts ten to fifteen years, often longer, depending on factors like skin quality, genetics, and lifestyle. Patients will continue to age naturally after the procedure; the facelift provides a younger starting point from which the natural aging process continues.
Am I too old for a facelift?
No, facelift candidacy is determined by a patient's health, not their age. A deep plane facelift remains possible for patients aged 70 or 80, as the underlying deeper layer of the face can still be lifted and repositioned. For older patients, there may simply be more tissue to reposition.
What is the recovery like after a ContourLift?
Swelling and bruising typically peak within the first week. After laser resurfacing, the skin is expected to look raw, and the practice prepares every patient for this appearance before surgery. Many patients are able to return to social activities approximately two to three weeks after the procedure, though individual recovery times vary.
What are the goals for upper eyelid blepharoplasty?
The goal is to remove excess skin that can create an appearance not matching a person's actual feelings, allowing their true expression to be seen. A valid goal is to look and feel like oneself again, rather than solely aiming to look younger.
