If you’re searching for the best facial plastic surgeon for results that look authentically you—refreshed, lifted, and never “done”—you’re really asking two questions:
- Which facial plastic surgeon consistently delivers natural outcomes?
- What approach to facial plastic surgery actually creates those outcomes, reliably?
Below, we break down how to evaluate surgeons for natural-looking facial rejuvenation—and why so many discerning patients ultimately choose Dr. Amir Karam, creator of Vertical Restore®.
What “Best” Really Means
“Best” isn’t about the flashiest before-and-afters. It’s about whether you still look like you. In practice, that means:
- Youthful shape, not tight skin: True facial rejuvenation repositions descended tissue in a vertical vector and restores healthy volume—not just pulling sideways.
- Harmony across the entire face: The lateral brow, midface, jawline, and neck work as a unit; treating one while ignoring the others can result in a patchy or obvious appearance.
- Longevity with softness: A deep, anatomic release (deep-plane) allows tissue to sit where it wants to be—so results move naturally and age gracefully.
A Proven Blueprint For Natural Results: Vertical Restore®
Developed by Dr. Amir Karam, Vertical Restore® is a comprehensive, deep-plane facelift approach that addresses those four key zones together along a vertical vector. The intent isn’t to change your face; it’s to restore your youthful shape.
Here’s why our patients love it:
- Looks like you on your best day—just younger
- Smooth, crisp jawline and neck without the “pulled” look
- Balanced improvement across the entire face
- Designed to last and age naturally
Dr. Karam pairs Vertical Restore® with customized Facial Fat Transfer to replenish volume where time has taken its toll, such as the cheeks, under eyes, temples, and more.

How To Evaluate A Facelift Surgeon (And How Dr. Karam Measures Up)
- Specialization: Look for a surgeon who specializes exclusively in facial procedures. Dr. Karam’s practice is 100% facial rejuvenation—full stop.
- Anatomic technique: Deep-plane, vertical vector approaches are crucial for achieving softness and longevity. Vertical Restore is a deep, comprehensive vertical lift that addresses all four zones simultaneously.
- Volume strategy: Without restoring volume, faces can look tight or flat. Facial Fat Transfer is seamlessly integrated when needed for youthful fullness.
- Whole-face harmony: Treating the brow, midface, jawline, and neck as a system prevents “mismatch” results. Vertical Restore® is purpose-built for balance across regions.
- Proof you can see: Before-and-after images should show different ages and faces with consistent, natural-looking outcomes. Dr. Karam’s gallery demonstrates soft, believable restoration across decades of cases.
- Safety & setting: Accredited OR, board-certified anesthesia, and clear protocols matter. AAAASF-accredited center + board-certified anesthesiologists = hospital-grade standards.
- Transparent planning: Natural results require a custom plan: laxity, volume, and skin. Your comprehensive plan may combine Vertical Restore®, Fat Transfer, eyelid rejuvenation, and KaramMD Trifecta for skin health.
