Dr. Karam’s Core Facial Rejuvenation Method

At the foundation of Dr. Karam’s surgical approach is the belief that facial aging is driven by two primary factors: tissue laxity and volume loss. Addressing only one often leads to incomplete or short-lived results. For this reason, Dr. Karam’s core facial rejuvenation always combines Vertical Restore® with Facial Fat Transfer, allowing both structural support and volume to be restored simultaneously. This integrated approach is designed to deliver natural-looking, long-lasting outcomes.

Vertical Restore®


Vertical Restore® addresses aging in the lateral brow, midface, jawline, and neck using an advanced deep-plane technique. This method focuses on restoring vertical support and natural facial architecture rather than pulling or tightening the skin alone.

Facial Fat Transfer


Facial fat transfer restores lost volume using the patient’s own fat, enhancing natural contours and softening areas affected by aging. When paired with Vertical Restore®, fat transfer supports balance and harmony across the face.
