Golden State Plastic Surgery

Liposuction removes stubborn, diet and exercise resistant fat. It's not designed to treat skin laxity, and that's one of the most common misconceptions patients bring into consultation.

If loose or lax skin is part of what you're seeing, that calls for a different approach entirely. Dr. Shih builds each treatment plan around what a patient's body actually needs, not a single procedure applied to every concern ✨

A major transformation 🤍

This patient received Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS).

A softened brow bone, a refined jawline, and fuller lips come together to create a completely different facial harmony, a full change rather than a single subtle adjustment.

Swelling is still present in the early months after surgery, and definition continues to develop as tissues settle. Over time, contours become smoother and the results settle into a look that feels natural and fully integrated with the face.

Dr. Seth's approach is built around proportion across the whole face, and here the combined effect is dramatic. Full results can take a year or more depending on the procedures performed, and healing timelines vary from patient to patient.

The question Meri hears more than any other at the front desk: do I really need to wear sunscreen? The answer is always yes!

Daily SPF is one of the simplest habits that supports skin quality over time, whatever else is on your skincare routine or treatment plan.

Small habit, real difference 🌞

The concern we hear most in rhinoplasty consultations isn't really about size. It's proportion 👃

This patient came to Dr. Seth after a medical condition weakened the structural support of her nose, causing it to cave inward over time.

This patient underwent reconstructive rhinoplasty using rib bone and cartilage to rebuild the nose's entire support structure.

Dr. Seth's approach worked with what remained of her existing anatomy, reconstructing the framework rather than just adjusting the surface.

The surgery restored a balanced profile, a straighter bridge line, and a tip that sits in line with the rest of her face, while also giving the nose long-term structural support it had lost.

Our patient came in with thinning at the crown that diet, supplements, and over-the-counter treatments hadn't addressed.

He then came to us for hair restoration surgery. Dr. Rose harvested and transplanted individual follicular units, designing the density and pattern around his natural hairline 💇‍♂️

Facial aging comes from a couple of places and Dr. Seth treats the whole picture.

The goal is never to look different.

It's to look like a rested version of yourself 🤍

Facial feminization surgery (FFS) with Dr. Seth means a unique approach based on each patient's goals 🤍

Softer lines, a nose that fits her face, a profile she says finally feels like her own.

This patient's comprehensive FFS addressed every part of the face and throat, including a type 3 frontal cranioplasty, orbital bone contouring, brow lift, hairline contouring, rhinoplasty, cheek fat augmentation, lip lift, and jaw and chin reduction.

Dr. Seth also performed a scarless tracheal shave, reducing the prominence of the thyroid cartilage to soften the profile of the neck without a visible scar.

Addressing every area together, rather than one feature at a time, is what creates a result that reads as balanced and natural.
