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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What will I find on the Videos & Testimonials page?
You’ll find real patient experiences, before-and-after results, and recovery updates that help you understand what facial rejuvenation can look like in everyday life—honest, informative, and focused on natural outcomes.
Are the facelift testimonials from real patients?
Yes. Our facelift testimonials feature real patients sharing their experiences in their own words, including motivations, recovery insights, and how they felt after healing.
How soon will I see results after a facelift?
Many patients notice early improvement as swelling decreases in the first few weeks, with more refined results developing over the following months as tissues settle and healing progresses.
Will my results look natural or “pulled”?
Modern facelift techniques prioritize natural contour and harmony—restoring a refreshed look without an over-tightened appearance. Your plan is tailored to your anatomy, goals, and desired level of change.
What’s the difference between a facelift and fillers?
Fillers can add volume and soften certain lines, but they don’t reposition sagging tissue the way a facelift can. A facelift is often better for jowls, deeper laxity, and overall structural rejuvenation.
How long is recovery, and when can I return to normal activities?
Recovery varies by patient and procedure details. Many return to lighter activities within a couple of weeks, while swelling and firmness continue improving over time. Your surgeon will provide a personalized timeline.
Can I schedule a consultation to discuss my goals?
Absolutely. A consultation is the best way to review your facial anatomy, discuss options, and create a plan aligned with your goals—whether you’re considering a facelift or a non-surgical approach.
