" I am still getting sooo many compliments on my nose. I was just remembering you, because I went to go visit my mom and her neighbor who has known me since I was 11 told me how nice I look and how he was impressed that by just changing the nose has changed so much of my facial features. Thank You again so much! Take Care! "

Dr. Karam is an amazing facial plastic surgeon. I have known him as a friend and colleague for the past ten years, but only recently did I get the chance to directly observe his talent. My closest friend was looking for a surgeon to perform her rhinoplasty, and I recommended Dr. Karam. She wanted to look herself, only better, and that is exactly what she got. He listened to her desires and performed a meticulous surgery with unbelievable results. She still hasn’t stopped smiling.

Since my friend’s surgery, I have referred numerous other friends and family members, including my own mother, for a variety of cosmetic procedures including face, neck, and brow lifts, eyelid surgery, and rhinoplasty. They are all extremely pleased with their results and can’t believe what a genuinely friendly and down-to-earth person he is.

I highly recommend Dr. Karam for any facial plastic surgery needs. He has that rare combination of technical skill, artistic ability, and compassion for his work that makes for an outstanding cosmetic surgeon.

I met Dr. Karam when he was still at UC Irvine Medical Center, and now I'm his patient at La Jolla . My experience with him has been simply amazing. Being in the public eye (under harsh spot lights as well as close up and personal with people), natural looking results are utmost important to me. Dr. Karam combines the incredible skills of a surgeon with his intuitive sense of beauty, understanding, and vision of the results, specifically personalized to the clients face
and individuality. But, with his pride in his work, coupled with the genuine concern about me as a client he has given me the most important thing I look for in a plastic surgeon: Trust! Lets face it – when you have someone working on your face, you better trust he will have your interest in
heart. And I could not have found anybody better. Thank you Tom Todd, for recommending him, and thank you, Dr. Karam for working on me.

Your call today was so unexpected and really nice – I know how busy you are, and appreciate you taking the time. I LOVE everything you've done! I certainly don't mean to sound vain, but over the last few weeks I'm amazed at how wonderful everything looks! J Everyone (no joke) says I look wonderful … yet they don't know why (that's the fun part). My husband is thrilled says I look 10 years younger (yeah!).

I cannot quite put into words my appreciation to Dr. Karam. I had been considering rhinoplasty for years, but was hesitant about changing the look of my face. I quickly felt at ease after meeting with Dr. Karam, realizing that he was truly dedicated to reshaping my nose as naturally as possible. He was both professional and honest, surgery was quick and my recovery was amazing-my bruises were gone by the end of the first week. As for my results, I could not be happier. There is such a dramatic change in my profile, but many of the people in my life did not realize what I had done. I have heard the same comment over and over that my results seem so dramatic on one hand, but subtle on another; as it appears that I now have the nose I supposed to be born with. That is what sets Dr. Karam apart from other surgeons; he did not put any nose on my face, but worked with me to reshape my nose to create the best fit for me. Thank you so much Dr. Karam, the surgery has truly changed my life.

You are now an icon in my life journey. How fortunate I feel to have found such a skilled and artistic surgeon, with the added bonus of your 1st class patient caring. It show that you are a “unique” man in the medical profession…. Thank you for giving me a more youthful appearance.

DB (Facelift, Blepharoplasty).

There are no words to express how I feel everytime I look in the mirror. For the first time in my life I feel pretty. Thank you for all you have done. You have boosted my self esteem. You have blessed me in such a way, that I feel it only fair to bless you somehow. So please except this gift and enjoy it with your beautiful family. Thank you once again.

La Jolla Spa, MD is one of the nation's leading medical spas, and Dr. Karam is the brilliance behind the spa's facial surgery division. Dr. Karam is amazing and very rare -- He is shaping the industry through his extensive research in the field, and via his incredible skills on the clinical side (very natural, very balanced results). In addition, he bestows "Ritz Carlton-esque" highly-personalized patient care. Another benefit: Dr. Karam 's pre-op preventative measures help reduce the length of downtime. (I had ZERO bruising and very slight swelling/discomfort.) I am both grateful and ecstatic to have found him!!! Afterall, one must age "gracefully".”

Thank you Dr.Karam for giving me the best Botox experience. It was not stressful at all and the results are excellent. I wish you could see how great I look. I always have to go back for touch ups but I can tell this is perfect. I would trust you with any surgery or injectables to my face you are truly an artist and a pleasure to meet. I will come visit you next time I'm in San Diego.

During my return from a mission in downtown Mosul, Iraq, we drove through a vehicle check-point. The cross-beam to stop vehicles was not up all the way and as we drove through it an Iraqi dropped it on us. I noticed it was too low and was about to damage our machine-gun. It was more a reflex but, I moved to save it from being damaged by the cross-beam, and as it slid over
the barrel it hit the deflector shield bent back then slammed me in the face…I crushed my nose and the bone/skull around it and knocked out my front tooth. I was medivac to the Mosul CSH where I was treated by an Oral surgeon….The end result was a deviated septum blocked and limited nasal airway, bent crooked nose, lacerations with some scaring and missing front tooth and chipped teeth. …I flew back to the US for medical treatment. …I have had Rhyno-plastic nasal surgery, which did not go as planned. The damages was so bad the ENT Specialist had difficulties and has apologies to me on the out come. He said the bones where so crushed and that there was almost no cartilage to work with that the 1-hour surgery took 4.5 hours and he could not do as we discussed. The end result of this surgery was disappointing and in some areas worst than the accident it self. My nose collapsed, I had still restricted airway, poor appearance, loss of smell and reoccurring infection inside my nose.. Back in California I met with three top and highly respected plastic surgeons. All 3 refused the job due too it was beyond there skill do to the re-working and re-surgery of the bones. I was about to give up when I was asked to talk to the VA surgeon. There I was treated with hope, respect and professionally by Dr. Karam and his staff. I agreed to his idea and system he wanted. And having a panel of other ENT and Plastic surgeons review my case made me feel even more secure and confident. The outcome was more than expected. It was exactly as Dr Karam described it would turn out. I have very little scaring, a straighter nose, no more infection and returned smell. Unless I tell people, most never
know I had surgery. Thanks Doc!!!!
