Meet Dr. Kristina Tansavatdi

Dr. Kristina Tansavatdi is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon specializing in natural facial rejuvenation, endoscopic facelift surgery, deep plane facelift, deep neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, rhinoplasty, facial fat transfer, and full face rejuvenation. Her work is rooted in a lifelong fascination with faces, artistry, and human expression.

Long before becoming a surgeon, Dr. Tansavatdi was drawn to portraits and the way light, shadow, contour, and expression could reveal the individuality of a face. That artistic foundation continues to shape the way she approaches facial plastic surgery today. To Dr. Kristina Tansavatdi, the face is not a collection of isolated features. It is a living expression of identity. Every curve, transition, contour, and expression matters. Her passion is to study what has changed over time, understand what makes each patient uniquely herself, and create a plan that restores balance without erasing character.

Women and men often seek Dr. Tansavatdi because they want natural-looking facial rejuvenation. They do not want to look pulled, overdone, or unlike themselves. They want to look rested, confident, balanced, and authentic. Besides being a destination in Southern California, her patients often regularly travel from across the country and even internationally specifically for her advanced techniques with endoscopic facelift surgery and her expertise in deep plane facelift surgery. 

A Practice Built For You

Dr. Kristina Tansavatdi founded her practice on the belief that every woman deserves to be seen, heard, and understood before any surgical decision is made. This is why consultations at Tansavatdi Facial Plastic Surgery are intentionally unhurried. Dr. Tansavatdi takes time to listen to each patient’s concerns, study her facial structure, review photographs from earlier years when appropriate, and understand the emotional reasons behind the decision to explore surgery. The goal is never to impose a trend, template, or artificial standard of beauty. Instead, Dr. Tansavatdi uses the patient’s own face as the blueprint.

  • What features still carry the patient’s natural expression and identity?
  • What has descended?
  • What has hollowed?
  • Where has facial support changed?
  • What should be restored — and what should be left beautifully untouched?

This philosophy guides every facelift, neck lift, brow lift, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, lip lift, facial fat transfer, and full face rejuvenation plan.
