Dr. Diamond chooses not to dilute his focus. He is a facelift specialist concentrating exclusively on the face and applying his considerable talent and training to enhancing our most defining feature. For two years, Dr. Diamond traveled the globe to learn from the most renowned plastic surgeons in the world, often the very individuals who developed specific facial procedures. His practice in Beverly Hills is a state-of-the-art medical suite.
If you have ever wondered who it is that A-list celebrities turn to when they are looking to touch up their appearance before a big event like the Oscars or Emmys, the answer, in many cases, is Dr. Diamond in Beverly Hills, California.
His finesse as a facial plastic surgeon has garnered him worldwide recognition; he has been interviewed by prestigious magazines such as Vogue, Elle, and Allure about a myriad of cosmetic surgery topics, and he has even been featured on a Netflix series named The Celebrity Plastic Surgeons of Beverly Hills and the hit show Dr. 90210. The world of journalism has also utilized his expertise during his visits as a correspondent for CBS News, Entertainment Tonight, and Discovery Health.
But, even if you aren’t a celebrity patient like Kate Upton or Kim Kardashian, you can expect the same abundance of care, concern, and devotion that Dr. Diamond would afford someone coming straight from Hollywood.
Jason B. Diamond, M.D., F.A.C.S., of the Diamond Face Institute, is considered to be a premier facial plastic surgeon by those in the industry.
