Miami’s Best Plastic Surgeon Sets a New Standard for the Facelift

The era of facelifts that left you appearing stretched or as if you had undergone surgery is over. In their place? Procedures that enhance your appearance in the most natural way possible, while still lasting for years to come.

At Revive Surgical Institute, this shift towards natural results isn’t seen as a passing fad. They see it as a duty to deliver improved looks without making patients appear “done” or changing their expressions in any way whatsoever.

Leading this approach are Dr. Morad Askari (voted America’s Best Plastic Surgeon for 2025) and Dr. David Gerth. They know exactly what a facelift should do today. And below, they share their vision of these new standards.

A More Thoughtful Definition of Facial Rejuvenation

At Revive Surgical Institute, they don’t believe in “erasing years” or completely changing faces. They take a different approach.

Dr. Morad Askari emphasizes something important about getting older: it happens in layers. So while sagging skin may be the main concern for some seeking a facelift, there’s also losing volume (which makes cheeks look hollow), muscles shifting position, or changes to bones beneath the surface, too.

If you just improve what’s on top, sure, there might be an instant wow factor. But natural results that stand the test of time? That’s another thing entirely. It’s this deeper understanding of what makes up a face – its anatomy – that allows them to create outcomes which age gracefully rather than shouting “we had work done!.”

Technique as a Tool – Not the Answer

New methods for facial rejuvenation, like deep-plane lifts, have broadened surgical options. Rather than just tightening skin, these procedures involve repositioning underlying tissues. By manipulating muscle and fat, it’s possible to achieve natural-looking firmness that doesn’t freeze features in place.

However, technique is never considered the definitive solution at Revive Surgical Institute. The essential factor is judgment. It takes experience and a sophisticated aesthetic eye to know how tightly to pull, where to ease off on tissue, and when to say, “enough.”

Drs. Askari and Gerth are adamant. They favour subtle tweaking over major transformations because it keeps their work looking current longer after styles have changed.

A Shared Philosophy, Consistent Results

What really makes Revive Surgical Institute special is how well everything lines up. Sure, every surgeon has their own style and experience. But here there’s also something different: a shared philosophy.

That means no cookie-cutter approaches, just plans that fit each person like a glove. No following fads, but thinking about what suits your body over time.

Speaking of time scales, they focus squarely on lasting outcomes rather than quick fixes. Patients say it is the one reason why they appreciate their service from the first consultation right through recovery.

And Dr. Askari’s selection as America’s Best Plastic Surgeon 2025 by Newsweek reflects this viewpoint. It’s not a marketing ploy but genuine recognition for consistently delivering excellent and natural outcomes.
