Dr. Ariel Rad Redefines Precision in Facelift and Aesthetic Surgery

Dr Ariel N. Rad is a highly regarded board-certified plastic surgeon known for his expertise in facelift and aesthetic procedures. With a career built on precision, ethics, and patient safety, he has performed over 3,000 facelifts using advanced deep-plane and endoscopic techniques. His approach combines scientific rigour with a commitment to natural, long-lasting results.

Dr Rad's medical journey began with a residency at Johns Hopkins, where he developed a deep respect for anatomy and meticulous technique. His early work in microvascular reconstructive surgery reinforced his focus on long-term function and careful detail. After training, he co-founded SHERBER+RAD in Washington, D.C., alongside his wife, dermatologist Dr Noëlle Sherber.

Safety remains central to his practice. All surgical procedures take place in hospital-based settings, as he insists that 'safety is not optional'. He also prioritises patient wellbeing, often declining requests when a procedure would not benefit the individual.

His client base includes high-profile professionals, diplomats, and international travellers who seek discretion and honest advice. Beyond surgery, Dr Rad advocates for higher standards in aesthetic medicine, pushing for board-certified training, responsible techniques, and patient-centred care.

Throughout his career, he has emphasised integrity, collaboration, and lifelong learning. His philosophy is clear: excellence comes from discipline, evidence-based methods, and a rejection of fleeting trends.

Dr Rad's work reflects a balance of technical skill and ethical responsibility. By combining advanced surgical methods with a focus on education and safety, he continues to set a benchmark in aesthetic medicine. His dedication to natural results and patient welfare remains the foundation of his practice.
