Awake · Same-Day · Natural
Refreshed.
Never redone.
This is a MILA.
Awake, in and out the same day. Results that keep building for months as your own collagen does the work — no general anesthesia, no long recovery. You walk out looking like yourself, only further ahead of time instead of chasing it.
THE CULTURAL MOMENT
The overfilled era is over.
Filler volumes are falling. Dissolutions are climbing. "Filler face" has become shorthand for trying too hard. But no one stopped caring how they look — they stopped wanting to look done. The most common request in aesthetic consultations today is three words: natural looking results. MILA was built to deliver exactly that.
And you no longer have to wait until a facelift is the only option left. MILA is the earlier, awake alternative — done before the years add up, so you stay ahead instead of catching up.

OUR PROCEDURES
One Procedure. Perfected.
We don't offer a menu. We offer a method. The MILA Facelift is our singular focus. Laser assisted, ketamine sedation, results that build naturally over three months. For patients who want to address the neck or eyes in the same visit, we offer those as enhancements. Nothing more. Nothing else.
Ketamine sedation is administered by a licensed anesthesia provider in an AAAHC-accredited facility. Not all patients are candidates. Discussed during consultation.
THE FLAGSHIP PROCEDURE
The MILA Facelift
Laser assisted. Ketamine sedation. Two hours. Walk out by noon. Results that build quietly over three months until someone says what you've been waiting to hear.

Dr. Spero Theodorou
Co-Founder & Chief Medical Officer · Manhattan's Upper East Side
Dr. Theodorou didn't adopt the technology behind MILA — he invented it. As Chief Medical Officer of InMode Ltd. from 2015 to 2024, he co-developed FaceTite, BodyTite, EmbraceRF, and Morpheus8: the laser and RF platforms that now power the MILA Facelift.
The MILA Method is his proprietary answer to a broken category. Laser-assisted precision. Ketamine sedation. Natural results that build over 90 days. MILA is the only practice where the surgeon who invented the technology performs the procedure it was designed for.
Dr. Theodorou serves as Section Editor for Liposuction at the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Journal. His Upper East Side practice draws patients from fashion, media, and the luxury wellness world — where discretion and natural outcomes are non-negotiable.
What Everyone Wants
to Know About MILA.
What is MILA Face?
MILA Face is a surgical technology company and facelift practice with locations in New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami. We built one procedure — the MILA Facelift — and we do it better than anyone else. Laser-assisted technique, ketamine sedation, no general anesthesia. Results that build for 90 days. We are not a spa. We are not a filler clinic. We are surgeons who co-developed the technology we operate with.
Is the MILA Facelift a real surgical procedure?
Yes. This is surgery. The MILA Facelift addresses the SMAS layer, repositions tissue, and removes excess skin. It is not a non-surgical alternative. It is a surgical facelift performed with laser-assisted technique and ketamine sedation instead of general anesthesia. The outcome is structural correction, not surface treatment.
Where is MILA Face located?
MILA Face has three locations: Manhattan's Upper East Side in New York City, Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, and Brickell in Miami — each operating in an AAAHC-accredited outpatient facility. Virtual consultations are available nationwide. Most out-of-town patients schedule their procedure within four to eight weeks of their virtual consultation.
What is the technology behind MILA?
Dr. Theodorou co-invented it. As Chief Medical Officer of InMode Ltd. (NASDAQ: INMD) from 2015 to 2024, he co-developed FaceTite, BodyTite, Morpheus8, and EmbraceRF — the laser-assisted platforms that form the clinical foundation of the MILA Facelift. MILA is the only practice where the surgeon who built the technology performs the procedure it was specifically designed for.
What makes the MILA Facelift different from a traditional facelift?
Traditional facelifts use general anesthesia, large incisions, and require four to six weeks of recovery in most cases. The MILA Facelift uses laser-assisted technique at every surgical layer, ketamine sedation instead of general anesthesia, and smaller incisions — resulting in less bruising, faster recovery, and results that continue building for 90 days through collagen remodeling. Most patients return to normal activity within 5–7 days.
