The top board-certified facial plastic surgeons in California combine advanced facial specialization, fellowship training and procedure-specific experience in treatments such as deep-plane facelifts and rhinoplasty. L&P Aesthetics reflects these standards through an exclusive focus on facial treatments and three fellowship-trained surgeons.
What Does “Board Certified” Mean for Facial Plastic Surgery?
Being board-certified means that a surgeon has completed defined specialty training, examinations and professional requirements through the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) or American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (ABOHNS). Double-board certification can reflect additional training across specialties such as facial reconstruction and aesthetics.
Why Does L&P Aesthetics Stand Out?
L&P Aesthetics stands out for its exclusive focus on facial aesthetics and reconstructive care. Dr. David M. Lieberman, Dr. Sachin S. Parikh and Dr. Steven A. Curti are double-board-certified (ABOHNS and ABFPRS), fellowship-trained facial plastic surgeons, and the practice has received recognition from Castle Connolly and NewBeauty. L&P Aesthetics has also been named Best Facial Plastic Surgeons in Silicon Valley for four years running, by Silicon Valley Magazine.
What Procedures and Services Does L&P Aesthetics Offer?
L&P Aesthetics offers both surgical and nonsurgical treatments for facial rejuvenation, structural refinement and reconstruction.
Surgical procedures include:
Nonsurgical procedures at L&P Aesthetics Medical Spa locations in Palo Alto and Los Gatos include:
- Morpheus8 radio-frequency microneedling
- Wrinkle treatments
- Dermal fillers
- Liquid rhinoplasty
- Facial contouring
- Lasers and energy treatments

Top Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeons in California FAQs
Need more information to help you find the best board-certified facial plastic surgeons in California? Here are some of the most frequently asked questions.
What is the difference between a facial plastic surgeon and a plastic surgeon?
The difference between a facial plastic surgeon and a plastic surgeon comes down to specialization and training. A facial plastic surgeon specializes in procedures involving the face, head and neck and has targeted training in facial anatomy and procedures. A general plastic surgeon may work across many body areas but doesn’t necessarily specialize in one area.
How do I find a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in California?
You can find a board-certified facial plastic surgeon by searching for the best surgeons near you, verifying their board certification, reviewing their fellowship training and confirming their facial specialization and experience with your procedure.
What sets a top facial plastic surgeon apart?
A top facial plastic surgeon combines verified certification from ABFPRS and AAFPRS (American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Inc.), fellowship training, a face-focused practice and extensive procedure-specific experience. Peer recognition may support their reputation, as well as industry and community awards.
What does it mean if a facial plastic surgeon is fellowship-trained?
A facial plastic surgeon who’s fellowship-trained has complete additional, specialized training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery after their general residency. This advanced training can take one to two years and strengthens their surgical skills through supervised clinical experience under an experienced facial surgeon, as well as working through a standard curriculum to build their surgical knowledge. All three surgeons at L&P Aesthetics are fellowship-trained. Dr. Lieberman trained under Vito Quatela, MD, and Dr. Parikh trained under Andrew Jacono, MD. Dr. Curti trained under Drs. Lieberman and Parikh. Drs. Lieberman and Parikh now serve as fellowship directors and train one surgeon each year under their fellowship program at L&P Aesthetics.
