Plastic surgery is often considered optional - done strictly for aesthetic reasons. Still it can have a positive, life-changing impact upon patients whose self-esteem and confidence has taken a hit due to genetics, facial trauma, or the ravages of aging. Plastic surgery can have an even greater impact on children suffering from facial deformities and women who sustain facial injuries as a result of domestic violence. The organization, FACE TO FACE, was created to make a difference in people's lives through much-needed plastic surgery.
FACE TO FACE is the humanitarian arm of the Educational and Research Foundation for the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS Foundation). Medical supplies and equipment are donated to the organization. Facial plastic surgeons and other medical personnel travel all over the world - sometimes for two weeks at a time - generously donating their time and expertise. Still donations are needed from bighearted individuals and charitable organizations. These funds are used to purchase medical supplies and equipment, to offset hospital costs in host countries, and to develop teaching materials.
FACE TO FACE International
FACE TO FACE International makes education and support an integral part of its program. Surgeons from all over the world work closely with local medical personnel to manage an individual's care. Surgical techniques are demonstrated and case analysis is exchanged. This contributes to the long-term success of the program.
International primarily helps children in other countries abandoned due to facial deformities caused by birth or trauma. To date, Face to Face has traveled to Belize, China, Croatia, Philippines, Russia, and Vietnam.
FACE TO FACE: The National Domestic Violence Project
Victims of domestic violence often bear physical scars. Healing visible scars and facial trauma help victims begin to heal deep emotional scars as they recover from this traumatic experience. The AAFPRS takes a stand against domestic violence by helping victims break the cycle of violence. The foundation also helps victims of domestic violence to increase self-esteem and rebuild their lives by addressing physical damage.
FACE TO FACE has formed a partnership with the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) - the umbrella group for the majority of shelters in the U.S. - to empower the victims of domestic violence. FACE TO FACE works closely with local shelters to ensure each individual gets help healing emotional wounds. These deep, emotional scars must be addressed prior to any surgery designed to erase physical scars. Through FACE TO FACE: The National Domestic Violence Project, eligible individuals are able to receive no-cost consultation and surgery to repair facial trauma.
Donations to Face to Face are tax deductible. Your generous donation to this worthy organization can make a difference in the lives of women and children in desperate need of plastic surgery here in the United States and abroad.

When we look our best we feel our best. An improved self-image and greater self-esteem impacts every facet of our lives - both personal and professional.
Have you wondered what it would feel like if you could change a feature that bothered you for most of your life? Perhaps it is a small chin, a bump on the nose or acne scarring. Maybe you would like to turn back the clock and reverse the signs of aging.
What if you could eliminate sagging skin, frown lines, or bags underneath the eyes that make us look older, tired, sad or even angry? Perhaps you are bothered by skin discoloration, large pores, or a double chin. These signs of aging, overexposure to the sun, and other issues can be greatly improved through facial plastic surgery (facelifts, rhinoplasty, chin lift, brow lift, etc.) and non-surgical anti-aging techniques (liquid lift, Botox®, Dysport®, Juvéderm®, Restylane®, etc.)
A facial plastic surgeon can help you choose the technique that will rejuvenate the skin and make you look more refreshed.
Each face has its own unique beauty resulting from a unique combination of bone structure, muscle tone and skin texture. As an ethical Facial Plastic Surgeon I take an honest approach to enhancing your beauty. I am committed to helping you achieve a look that harmonizes with the esthetic ideal (proper proportions, facial symmetry, etc.) as opposed to an overdone look, preferred by some plastic surgeons.
My ultimate goal is help you achieve an optimal outer appearance while looking like you have not had plastic surgery at all.
That is my commitment to helping you achieve beautiful, natural results. To schedule your personal consultation call Dr. Karsan an ethical plastic surgeon at 214-646-8777.
We are unhappy with some aspect of our outer appearance. It's human nature. The feature we find displeasing may not be altered as easily as hair color. Perhaps it is the nose we were born with or the effects of time on our skin. Dissatisfaction with outer appearance can greatly impact self-image and self-esteem. A negative self-image - the perception or mental image we have of ourselves - has a profound effect on our approach to life.
When we have a positive self-image our self-esteem increases. We are more confident. This confidence makes us more effective in our personal and professional lives. A negative self-image can have the complete opposite effect. Self-consciousness about our personal appearance results in a lack of confidence. A lack of confidence can have a debilitating effect on our ability to function successfully in the workplace and within social spheres.
Facial plastic surgery and non-surgical anti-aging procedures bring a patient's inner beauty to the surface. Even the smallest changes - tighter, firmer skin or a decrease in the appearance of laugh lines - can boost self-image immeasurably. Increased self-confidence extends to every area of our lives - our work and relationships. When we are confident about our self-image others can sense this. They are drawn to it. Self-confidence is a trait companies seek in potential employees. Both men and women find self-confidence to be attractive in a potential mate.
Facial plastic surgery and non-surgical procedures can have a dramatic effect. A more youthful, rejuvenated look can improve self-image and boost self-esteem by bringing our outer appearance into closer alignment with the inner beauty we possess. Yet, cosmetic surgery is not a panacea for all of life's problems.
If you are considering facial plastic surgery or non-surgical anti-aging treatments (Botox®, Juvéderm®, liquid lift) give careful thought to what you hope to achieve. Work with an ethical facial plastic surgeon to set realistic expectations for your final results. As a facial plastic surgeon I have been privileged to help my clients transform their outer appearance in a way that allows their inner beauty to shine through. It is thrilling to see the improvement in their self-confidence and quality of life.
Contact Dr. Karsan, a qualified plastic surgeon, at 214-646-8777 to request a personal consultation to discuss how plastic facial surgery and non-surgical anti-aging procedures can do the same for you.
You've taken the steps necessary to find a board certified facial plastic surgeon. Now you're ready for your initial consultation. The following questions will help you get a clearer picture of a doctor’s qualifications to perform the surgical procedure on non-surgical treatment you are requesting.
- How many times have you performed this procedure? There has to be a first patient for every procedure, but you don't want it to be you. This may be an uncomfortable question to ask, but ask anyway.
- Who will perform the surgery or administer treatment? Clarify who will administer your treatment. If someone else will be administering treatment or assisting find out about their qualifications.
- Where will you perform the procedure? Some treatments and cosmetic surgeries can be performed in a doctor’s office or outpatient facility. Others are performed at a hospital. Discuss the options available with your doctor.
- Do you have hospital privileges to perform this surgery? Operating privileges in an accredited hospital demonstrate the hospital administration's confidence in your doctor's ability to perform the surgery you're seeking.
- What complications are possible with this treatment? No matter how safe a surgical or non-surgical treatment is there are some risks or possible side effects. Find out what the risks are and how your doctor would deal with them.
- What is the expected recovery time for this treatment? Discuss preoperative restrictions, postoperative instructions, and the steps you must take to ensure the best final results.
- How much will treatment cost? Cosmetic surgery is considered elective surgery and will not be covered by insurance. Get a clear picture of all the costs involved. Most doctors require payment in advance. Get clarification on costs and ask about financing options.
- What if I'm unhappy with the results? The initial consultation is the time to address all your concerns about your proposed procedure. Discuss your doctor’s policy on revisions which are sometimes needed to achieve the desired result. What fees are associated with revision surgery?
- Request before and after photos of other patients who received this treatment. Ask to see photos of patients that have received the treatment or surgery you’re requesting. Verify that the photos are actual patients of the perspective doctor not stock photos or pictures provided by product manufacturer
