Recovery Time in San Diego

How welcome he made me feel since day one, when I was only looking for information, his bedside manners at the time of surgery, his energy, and his personality make me feel so secure in every single visit before and after surgery. He always makes sure that all of my questions are answered, until this day, and I am 4 1/2 months out, I have no complaints, his work is ART, he is just AMAZING, and his hands are blessed! Until this day, I still follow and look at other doctors, and there is not one day I have felt any doubts. I truly believe I chose the BEST Face surgeon and would do it again and again.

From the first phone call I made to inquire about a Vertical Restore, every team member was professional, personable, genuine, prompt, and communicative. I have been in private business for more than 30 years. I understand how to build a team and I know a good team when I see one. Dr. Karam has succeeded on all fronts in creating an amazing team. I applaud his leadership. Embarking on this procedure can be daunting. Dr. Karam and his team made this journey very comfortable. I had the utmost confidence that I would receive amazing care and that the skills of Dr. Karam are the very best. Thank you, Dr. Karam. And thank you to your awesome team.

My surgery experience with Dr. Karam and his team was excellent. I waited a year to have my surgery with him. He’s well worth the wait. I was hesitant to undergo surgery because of some of the results I’ve seen from less qualified surgeons who have not specialized in facial surgery only, and who do a horizontal lift instead of Dr. Karam’s vertical lift procedure. He and his team provided videos and support materials that answer questions both pre- and post-surgery (even a spreadsheet of significant events; who doesn’t love a spreadsheet!), and they are always available to answer questions and meet with you even over the weekend to ensure your easy progress in week 1 post-surgery. It’s an almost painless procedure, even when undergoing multiple procedures at once. I’m so happy to have chosen Dr. Karam and his team!

I turned 50 today. A little over one year ago, as a present to myself, I had a full face rejuvenation with Dr. Karam and his team. Based upon 18 months of research, I would only go to 4 facial plastic surgeons in the world, and Dr. Karam is one of them. I consider the work I have done as an investment in myself. I had a full face fat transfer, upper and lower blepharoplasty, deep plane neck lift, and full face lift. I do not have movie star looks, but in my biased opinion, I can easily pass for 38 years old.

I did a lot of research before deciding on Dr. Karam for my procedures. It was a big decision to make and a big investment, but now I can say with complete honesty that it was the best decision and I have no regrets. I am so pleased with the outcome and how much more youthful I look. I look much more like how I always felt inside- younger, more vibrant- my face now matches my healthy and fit lifestyle. Dr Karam is so warm and caring- he listened to me and my concerns before the surgery. And his staff was really the icing on the cake- supportive, available by phone day or night, and nurturing in their office care. I especially must thank and give my appreciation to Tina, Taisha, and Taylor, who were my anchors in this new storm on day 1 after surgery and beyond, while my body tried to adjust and start to heal from surgery. Tina even wanted photo updates after I had returned home, and was so encouraging, positive, and reassuring. I can’t thank everyone enough and have such immense gratitude. Big hugs to them all and especially to Dr. Karam’s expertise and artistry. His signature Vertical Restore creates a natural, youthful look. Since returning to my life, no one has questioned, “Did you have a facelift?” The outcome is unlike any other “facelift” I have seen—really, I don’t even consider this a facelift- he is an artist, and our face is his canvas to create a work of art the world will gaze on and admire in our newfound youthful beauty.

I had a Vertical Restore at age 65 with Dr. Amir Karam. It has been a little over a year, and I am delighted with the results. Some of my friends have not even noticed—I just look rested. Dr. Karam will provide you with all the information and supplements that you need to make the procedure and the recovery time as comfortable as possible. I usually bruise very easily, but with the supplements that were given to me prior to my procedure and afterwards, my bruises were gone within a week. I highly recommend Dr. Karam and would go back to him for anything I might want done in the future. I totally trust his approach and recommendations. You won't be disappointed!

I'm one month out from a Vertical Restore with Dr. Karam. Dr. Karam is an incredibly talented Surgeon. I can barely see my scars already. I also did a laser peel, and within 8 days, I was wearing makeup and admiring my new jawline and neck. I'm 65 this month and so happy I chose him. He is the best there is. His staff is fun, caring, and kind. They made my entire experience so easy. I would not hesitate or even think about going anywhere else. Check out his Instagram account. He does all his content himself. Extremely informative, with many before and after photos. I decided on Dr. Karam after researching his Instagram and had made my decision before we had even met.

Dr. Karam is a great surgeon, a true artist, and a wonderful human being. He has done 2 procedures on me over the last 3 years, both with excellent results. His fat transfer and his lip lift technique are extraordinary. I wouldn't think of going to anyone else, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for the best.
