About

Dr. Ariel N. Rad is a board-certified plastic surgeon internationally recognized for his expertise in advanced facial aesthetic surgery, particularly deep-plane and endoscopic facelift techniques. Based in Washington, D.C., Dr. Rad is the co-founder of SHERBER+RAD, a premier aesthetic practice known for redefining patient-centered facial rejuvenation. After completing his surgical training at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Rad devoted his career to the face—believing it to be the most technically demanding and emotionally significant area of aesthetic surgery. Over more than two decades of surgical practice, he has performed over 3,000 facelifts, refining deep-plane and endoscopic techniques that restore facial structure, preserve individuality, and produce results that are natural, elegant, and enduring. Dr. Rad is known for his disciplined avoidance of trends and shortcuts. He does not pursue exaggerated or overcorrected aesthetics, nor does he rely on pseudo-scientific or non-evidence-based treatments. Instead, his work is grounded in anatomy, longevity, and surgical precision. All surgical procedures are performed with uncompromising safety standards, including hospital-based anesthesia and rigorous patient screening. At SHERBER+RAD, Dr. Rad collaborates closely with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Noëlle S. Sherber to offer patients a uniquely integrated model of care—where surgical expertise and medical dermatology function in complete alignment. This collaboration allows Dr. Rad to approach each patient’s face with a 360-degree perspective, optimizing outcomes while minimizing recovery and preserving authenticity.
