The Face Doctor of Florida

Dr. Shashi Kusuma is committed to creating a center of excellence in South Florida, delivering outstanding patient care through a blend of artistry and surgical precision.

Dr. Shashi Kusuma is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Weston, Florida, specializing in advanced facial rejuvenation procedures including facelift, neck lift, blepharoplasty, and brow lift.

Known as “The Face Doctor of Florida,” Dr. Kusuma focuses on delivering natural, refined results that enhance your features without creating an overdone appearance. Patients from across South Florida trust his expertise in facial plastic surgery to restore a youthful, refreshed look while preserving individuality.

A facelift is one of the most effective procedures to address visible signs of aging such as sagging skin, deep folds, and loss of facial definition. With modern techniques like the deep plane facelift, results can appear more natural and last significantly longer compared to non-surgical treatments.

Every treatment begins with a personalized consultation, where your goals, facial anatomy, and expectations are carefully evaluated. Whether you are considering surgery or exploring alternatives, understanding your options is the first step toward achieving long-lasting, confident results.

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Dr. Kusuma and the entire Suria staff. My experience was absolutely life changing. Dr. Kusuma has such a calm and reassuring presence and from the very beginning I felt completely safe and supported. He and his team were always on hand with incredible bedside manner, and the app they use to chat made it so easy to ask questions and get quick and thoughtful responses.

I am now one year out and I genuinely miss seeing them because they became such a close and caring part of my life during the process. They treated me like a friend, not just a patient, and helped me with anything I needed throughout recovery. The aftercare was everything and they were there for every moment, every question and every concern.

If you are thinking about doing it, speak to him and his team. He will walk you through absolutely everything you need to know and he is extremely safe, honest and transparent. He will never do anything without fully explaining what will happen and making sure you feel comfortable.

I am forever grateful to Dr. Kusuma and the Suria team. Truly the best decision I could have made. 🤍

Over the past decade, I’ve trusted Dr. Shashi Kusuma with my face and body—not once, but three times.

As a 68-year-old male, I’ve been a patient of Dr. Kusuma at Suria Plastic Surgery across three distinct periods: first in 2014, again during COVID and most recently in 2025. Each time, the results were consistent—natural, refined, and unmistakably me.

Dr. Kusuma’s approach is meticulous and deeply human. He doesn’t just hear you—he listens with intent, translates your concerns into a clear, thoughtful plan, and guides you through every step with calm precision. His communication is direct yet reassuring, and his commitment to safety, privacy, and optimal outcomes is unwavering. He takes full responsibility for results and remains genuinely available throughout the process—a rare quality in any field.

His team reflects the same standard. The staff at Suria Plastic Surgery operate with warmth, discretion, and professionalism, creating an environment that feels both clinical and personal. From consultation to recovery, I felt respected, informed, and cared for.

In a world where cosmetic work often chases trends or erases character, Dr. Kusuma’s work stands apart. He enhances what’s already there—with integrity, restraint, and surgical excellence.

Dr. Kusuma is an excellent plastic surgeon, and a highly ethical physician. I went to see Dr. Kusuma after an unsuccessful neck and lower face lift performed by another plastic surgeon in the area. I don’t know what was done to my face by the first plastic surgeon, although I can deduce what happened, but I looked totally different, and for the worse.
Dr. Kusuma was able to give me my face back and a much younger and more beautiful one at that. He performed a full-face lift, upper and lower lid surgeries and neck surgery. I look much younger, and my features were not changed. I wasn’t pumped up with fillers either. I have my face back. I feel beautiful. I will forever be indebted to Dr. Kusuma (at Suria Plastic Surgery.)
I went through a learning experience with the first physician and with Dr. Kusuma. I would like to share what I learned with those that might be shopping for a plastic surgeon. I have been able to compare two plastic surgeons and how they operate. I hope that what I learned will be useful to other people. The items listed below compare the two surgeons.
1. Dr. Kusuma will not ask you to sign endless documents stating that no matter what happens, he is not responsible for the result.
2. Dr. Kusuma will not use general anesthesia for your surgery.
3. Dr. Kusuma films the complete surgery, and he will give you any films you desire to have. So, you actually know what went on during the surgery.
4. Dr. Kusuma will perform the complete surgery himself. He will not allow a “surgical assistant” who has never attended college to close any incisions, or to perform any procedure.
5. After the surgery, every time you visit Dr. Kusuma, photos are taken. He meticulously compares your progress.
6. Dr. Kusuma will not let you go until he deems the final product to be perfect. He will follow through with various measures to achieve total perfection.
7. If you have any problems, it is easy to make an appointment. You will not be asked to wait weeks before you can see him.
8. Dr. Kusuma is very approachable. You will never feel fearful when presenting a concern.
If you want to know what kind of physician Dr. Kusuma is, go to YouTube, and view the many videos he has presented there.
In addition, the personnel at Dr. Kusuma’s office is professional, friendly, and down-to-earth. You will feel at home immediately.

I had my surgery done in January 2022 and I realized I never provided a review. Dr. Kusuma is an amazingly talented surgeon. He did an eye lift, neck and face lift for me. I was under local anesthetic and never felt ANYTHING. No pain, ever. The results were fantastic. Before and after photos are, according to other people jaw dropping. I’m very happy with the results and can tell anyone considering doing this work with Dr. Kusuma to Go For It!! You will be so happy you did. Thank Dr. Kusuma.

Facelift FAQs

Expert Answers from Dr. Shashi Kusuma – The Face Doctor of Florida

What is the best age for a facelift?
Most patients consider a facelift between ages 40–70 depending on skin laxity and facial aging. The ideal timing is when non-surgical treatments are no longer effective.
How long do facelift results last?
Facelift results typically last 7–10 years depending on surgical technique, skin quality, and lifestyle factors such as sun exposure and skincare.
What is a deep plane facelift?
A deep plane facelift lifts deeper facial structures beneath the SMAS layer, allowing for more natural, longer-lasting results without pulling the skin.
What is the difference between a deep plane facelift and a SMAS facelift?
A SMAS facelift tightens the superficial muscular layer, while a deep plane facelift repositions deeper facial tissues for more natural and longer-lasting outcomes with less tension on the skin.
What is the difference between a mini facelift and full facelift?
A mini facelift targets early signs of aging with shorter recovery, while a full facelift addresses deeper aging in the cheeks and neck for more comprehensive results.
How much does a facelift cost in Weston, Florida?
Facelift cost in Weston, Florida varies depending on technique, surgeon expertise, and facility fees. Most procedures range between $8,000 and $25,000+. A consultation is required for an exact quote.
What is the recovery time for a facelift?
Most patients return to normal activities within 2–3 weeks. Full healing and refined results develop gradually over several months.
Can a facelift look natural?
Yes. Modern facelift techniques focus on repositioning deeper tissues rather than tightening the skin, creating a refreshed and natural appearance.
Is a facelift painful?
Discomfort is usually mild to moderate and well-controlled with medication. Most patients find the recovery manageable.
How soon will I see results?
Initial improvements are visible within weeks, with final, refined results appearing after 2–3 months.
How long does swelling last after a facelift?
Most swelling subsides within 2–4 weeks, with subtle refinement continuing for several months.
Are facelift scars visible?
Incisions are carefully placed around the ears and hairline, making scars discreet and barely noticeable once healed.
Can men get facelifts?
Yes. Facelifts for men are customized to preserve masculine features while restoring a youthful, refreshed appearance.
How many facelifts can you have in your lifetime?
There is no strict limit. Many patients choose a secondary facelift after 10–15 years to maintain long-term results.
What are the risks of facelift surgery?
Risks include swelling, bruising, infection, or nerve injury. These risks are minimized when performed by an experienced, board-certified surgeon.
Are there non-surgical alternatives?
Non-surgical treatments like fillers and skin tightening can improve early signs of aging but cannot replace surgical facelift results.
How do I prepare for a facelift?
Preparation includes medical evaluation, avoiding certain medications, stopping smoking, and following your surgeon’s pre-operative instructions.
How do I choose the right facelift surgeon?
Choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive facial experience, proven results, and a focus on natural-looking outcomes.
Clinical Insights & Data
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS, 2023), facelift surgery (rhytidectomy) is among the top 5 cosmetic surgical procedures in the United States, with over 130,000 procedures performed annually.
Clinical research published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery indicates that deep plane facelift techniques can deliver results lasting 10 to 12 years, compared to 5 to 7 years for SMAS-only techniques — making surgical technique selection one of the most important factors for long-term outcomes.
