What Our Patients Are Saying:
Results That Speak for Themselves

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 Gallery FAQs

Quick answers to help you browse our Facelift before and after Gallery with clarity—results, timelines, and what “natural” really means.

Are the photos in the Facelift before and after Gallery real patients?

Yes. Each image featured in our Facelift before and after Gallery represents real patients, shared with appropriate consent. Individual results vary based on anatomy, goals, and healing.

How long after surgery are the “after” photos taken?

Timing depends on the case. Many “after” photos are captured once swelling has improved—often several weeks to months post-op. If a photo has a timestamp or label, use that as the best reference.

Will my results look exactly like someone in the gallery?

Not exactly. The gallery is helpful for understanding improvement patterns (jawline definition, cheek support, neck tightening), but your outcome is personalized to your facial structure, skin quality, and treatment plan.

What should I look for when comparing before and after facelift photos?

Focus on natural-looking contours: smoother jawline, improved neck angle, balanced cheeks, and a refreshed (not “pulled”) appearance. Also check that lighting and angles are comparable for a fair comparison.

Do you show different facelift types in the gallery?

Many galleries include a range of approaches depending on the patient’s needs—facelift with neck lift, eyelid surgery, fat transfer, or skin treatments. If you want a match for your concerns, ask during your consultation.

Where are facelift incisions placed, and will scars be visible?

Incisions are typically placed in natural creases and along the hairline or around the ear to help scars heal discreetly. Scar visibility varies, but most patients find scars fade significantly over time with proper aftercare.

How much downtime should I expect after a facelift?

Downtime varies by procedure extent and healing. Many people plan time off for swelling/bruising and return to social activities as they feel comfortable. Your surgeon will provide a personalized timeline.

How long do facelift results typically last?

Results can be long-lasting, but aging continues naturally. Longevity depends on skin quality, lifestyle, sun exposure, and the procedure plan. Many patients maintain results with good skincare and healthy habits.

Why do some before-and-after photos look more dramatic than others?

“Dramatic” changes depend on starting anatomy, degree of laxity, and whether additional procedures were combined. The best goal is not maximum change—it’s the most natural, balanced improvement for your face.

How can I find before-and-after results that match my age or concerns?

Look for similar concerns (jawline, neck banding, midface volume, skin laxity) rather than chasing an exact face shape. If you have a specific goal, bring reference photos to your consultation for a realistic plan.
