I just had a face lift performed in Pattaya/Thailand by a surgeron who has certainly not been on the board of american surgeons and I have to say I am absolutley chuffed by the results! I dont need to mentioned that it was about half the price..... The whole procedure was smooth and pleasant and I could not wish for a better outcome.
Just to say, dont be fooled, there are other surgeons than Americans who do a fantasitc job!
I am interested in seeing the before and after pictures of patients at the 10 year, 15, and 20 years marks after surgery? With such an investment, it's important to see how long it lasts. Thank you.
Really great point, Kat Kat B.
That's what I was thinking 🤔 let's say you get your surgery at the age of 50 and you got amazing results you look like 35 again. What are you gonna look like when your 65? 65 or 50 or even worse or even better?
To add to this, say a person goes for all items: the vertical lift, fat transfer, eye and lip procedures….I understand there will be aging and gravity after 15-2.0 years. Is there a more minor procedure that you do as a ‘touch up’ in later years? Or regular tweaks along the way? At a much lower cost I assume?
Also: very interested to see close up photos of all the scar areas at 1 year and 2 years out. Thank you.
Yes specially when his facelift cost $62,000+ 😂😂😂. Like there are really good plastic surgeons that will give you very good results for $15-20k. He actually thinks his particular technique is worth 3 times that of a good surgeon is hilarious. Lots of surgeons focus only on facelifts and have same results. The obscene amount of money charged is just unethical.
@@alito238 by all means, if you can drop any names, please do! Thanks.
If there is one thing I have learned in my one year of researching plastic surgeons is how a certified surgeon wants their patient to be healthy and happy with their results! But what I've learned about you Dr. Karam is that you've developed a surgery "The Vertical Restore" that heals quicker but it covers all of the areas on the face that needs restored! It's like remodeling your kitchen like you said " why would you change out everything but the cabinets... ?! " This is so true! But health is your no.1 thing and that makes me feel good about you!
I'm glad you talked about gut feeling as the most important thing.
There are surgeons on youtube that I've watched who come across as not just egotistic or unprofessional, but also downright creepy. I don't even need to check their website or call the clinic. I'm not letting those kind of people come near me in a drugged/unconscious state.
Trust your gut feeling after you've done the research for the paper qualifications AND after checking their reviews online.
I love your videos. I've worked for several plastic surgeons including a facial plastic and their work doesn't even come close to the results you achieve. Looking forward to my consultation with you next week!
Did you already have your consultation?
@@user-vn5hm8jc8h I had my phone consultation with one of Dr. Karam's amazing staff members. We went over the forms I completed along with the photos I sent. We discussed recommended procedures (which were the same as those I was interested in), surgery date and the timeline. My next appointment is a zoom call with Dr. Karam on June 3rd.
OOOOh BOY!. Did you move forward? Did you have your Vertical Restore? Soo excited. @@lostmypassword1
I hope you’re still practicing when I get my facelift years from now
I had a facelift 10 years ago. I was 60, and at 70 I definitely could use Refresher.
I saw the comment about cost, my sister lives in San Diego her mexican friends know all the best surgeons in Mexico you can get for half the cost with good surgeons and dentist also. I'm an RN ain't no way I'd ever pay $67,000 for a dang facelift , that's for the super rich that have money to blow. TIP: Buy some gadgets and do ur own home treatments like the needling, red light, dermawand and low powered laser! but u gotta be consistent.
Love love love this post!!! I’ve never heard a surgeon describe the importance of trust and listening to one’s gut (intuition!) as you did here! Also appreciate the detail to the check list you provide! Thank you!
Hi Dr. Thank you for the information. From the first time I watched one of your videos I knew you were the one to do my face. Even if I have to wait a little longer. You do great work, but not only that you look like a very honest person. Thank you
You are very honest which is what we need to hear! Thank you Kind Sir!
This is the greatest video you’ve done yet!! Very informative! Frankly speaking.. I’ve taken a lot of time looking and researching different surgeons! I haven’t found one yet that has the results you have!! I’m impressed!
Thank you for this very great video Dr. Karam. Trust has got to be a number one thing and that good old gut feeling. This is very good information Dr. Karam.
There’s a surgeon here in the U.K. that does a vertical facelift but many of his patients results only last 4 months!! So what’s going on there? Why are so many ‘relapses’ taking place? I’d like to know more about actual facelift techniques and which ones produce the longest lasting results and why.
More and more people are coming forward with laxity from 6 months and beyond with SMAS lifts and 12 months onwards with deep planes. Most people just don’t ever see this because the ‘after’ photos we all see are taken a few months after surgery when everyone looks their best.
So please explain why facelifts don’t last and what will make them last the 7-10’years we get told that that do.
Very important information, thank you Hector.
I would be very interested in this topic!
He might not be doing a deep plane vertical lift if he is doing the smas lift they don’t last. Deep plane is where they lift the whole skin off the face and redo it and put it back. A doctor told me the others are a waste of money.
Great video. Well said. Trust is very important. Trust your gut feeling.
Very good background information for research!
I’m watching sitting at 30. Hoping and praying he’s still practicing or passed the baton to the next gen whenever it’s my time :D thank you for all your knowledge!!
Goodness! This video came right on time and I feel that you were speaking directly to me. I have to get rid of my turkey neck but to do so, I would have to undergo a mini face lift (at the very least). Who to trust with my face? 🙈 This whole thing is scary for me. I wish that your office was closer to the east coast. I'd let you do my surgery.
I just found your channel by accident and I wrote on another one of your videos. But when I saw the title of this one I had to say the wisest choice is to go to you. When Fen Phen came out I went to my doctor even though exercise would have done the trick. I trusted him and expected him to give me a physical. And talk to me about it before he prescribed it because I kind of knew It sounded too good to be true and safe. But the truth is when I made an appointment and I ask for it and he just gave it to me withou so much as even a consultation. He actually told me if I didn't feel like eating I didn't have to. The impression I get from you is you would thoroughly talk to your patient about why they want the procedure, what their expectations were along with all important information such as risks and the expectations the expectations versus reality. If I ever get anything done I'm knocking on your door. I'm just waiting to hit the lottery lol. Once again I think you are on UA-cam to help people. I think that's wonderful thank you again I think I said thank you in the last comment I made 5 times.
Hi you are great imo. Your bookshelves dont do you justice. New decor for your office
Thank you for this, dr! It made me decided what I have to do. I was considering having plastic surgery re-do by the same dr that botched my neck lift. He was going do it pro-bono, but after listening to you, I have decided not to. I just don’t have the confidence in this surgeon after what happened before. Thank you! Thank you!!
Your videos are fantastic. So informative. I find plastic surgery such an amazing procedure. The talent of an excellent plastic surgeon can bring such happiness to the patient. The people who are able to afford plastic surgery are truly blessed. Every day I wonder , is there a talented plastic surgeon out there who ever does procedures pro-bono. Is that something you would ever consider, to bless someone with the wish of there life time. I would never be able to afford plastic surgery no matter how hard I tried, yet it is a procedure I wish I truly could be blessed to afford. So, I ask is that anything you would consider doing for free to make someone’s wish of their life come true?
Your skills could make me look 25yrs younger and I am 69 yrs old. Would your heart consider helping someone get their wish of a lifetime, I truly could never afford the luxury,
Please don't retire. Plan on seeing you in about 2 years!
Dr. Karam, thank for all your fantastic information. I watch your videos often.
I wonder if you can do a video of ballpark prices for different procedures. I went to a famous surgeon in NY and his office staff told me that a neck lift with him costs 90k....
I would eventually like to find a good doctor with all of the qualifications you descrbed in your video that is within my budget, but would like to know what procedures cost more or less....
Many thanks!
love your work!!!
Thank You foe all useful information .
I can't wait to see you 🌅😇 I am saving for you to be my Dr. 💜💜💜💖
Now we are 2 , also saving 😄😄
@@hekmanedy3832 and me as well.😉
Me too!
You all need to save like $210 K
Hello from Rancho Mirage California 🇺🇸
I would like to know the average cost of a vertical restore procedure with Dr. Karam. I do not doubt his ability and expertise, he is someone I would trust implicitly. Please let us know!
Yeah! I think more of us are catching on to the fact that we never get shown ‘after’ photos beyond the average 4 month mark after surgery when everyone looks their best. I’m seeing more and more women coming forward with their dissatisfaction after 6 months because their faces have dropped again. This is actually more common than we are lead to believe.
So many women have to resort to fillers to help maintain the facelift results. Some women look virtually the same as they did before surgery at month 8 and beyond.
It’s a very skewed perspective we are being shown. I don’t think it represents the truth.
Some of us want a facelift because we don’t want to inject ourselves with fillers. When you spend thousands for a procedure, you expect it to last for many years and eliminate the need for other treatment like fillers. Unless of course you’re like using them also.
@@Hector-qu9vo really😳 that’s terrible! It’s so expensive, I am a casual catcher of this drs videos and I have seen where he shows 2years after the vertical restore. So, hopefully that’s not the normal, that would be seriously depressing if your surgery results failed only 6m after.
Someone wrote in a comment, that he takes 67'000. Imo, you can get the same result for half the price with other plastic surgeons, that are as good as him.
@@Mira20153 can you posted some names, please?
@@ritajandj777 Dr Kathrin Ledermann in Germany.
Dr. Akram how about a video on mini facelift?
Love you so much dr.Amir
so true. When searching websites in MN there are qualified plastic and facial plastic surgeons but some say they have been doing it 30 years and dont need to do anything different.... RUN! They do not want you to show them what you've 'seen' on social media. Any respectable MD will let you tell them what you want and what you do not want and then tell you what they are able to do. Do not be shamed into setteling for a 30 year old technique. any real face lift must lift face and NOT JUST SKIN. Also you can check local directories in your area for complaints filed against surgeons, this includes MD's like orthopaedists,general surgeons who 'practice' plastic surgery and other less scrupulous Doctors. This is a specialty and their practice should reflect that. Some plastic surgeons specialize in breasts others in mommy make overs. Make sure YOUR surgeon specializes in the proceedure YOU want. Good luck y'all and God bless~
I am a 52 yo, bald man who doesn't wear makeup and is interested in facial rejuvenation. How would I be able to have the procedure done without obvious incision marks since I can't hide them?
My sister has very short hair you can’t see her scars if they know what they’re doing they hide the scars.
"Before & Afters are key because they tell you a lot"... yes Dr Karam, your Before & Afters all have makeup-free Befores and heavy-makeup Afters...just like the one at 5:23
Look at Dr. David Stoker. No makeup before or after BUT the lighting has got to be purposefully unflattering before and purposely flattering after. It’s so obvious.
I really doubt a patient is going to let their pictures be blasted on the internet without make up. You can still see the difference.
Mel, why not? That’s when they should feel more confident about the way they look. The idea is to look better after a facelift, not worse.
I don’t believe in pictures as a proof this days because they can photoshop them easily. I read the reviews all over the internet even though som people still lying about but some people do talk about their bad experiences and the ridiculous prices they were told the surgery will cost.
@@Mel-tw6qv why not? Their before's were.
Thank you very much 😘
Do you have any suggestions for a plastic facial surgeon in the SC, NC or Ga area? I am interested in having a facelift. Wish you were close. Thank you for your time.
Another excellent video
Thanks for watching!
Choose any surgeon wisely.. that’s if you have the chance to do so…. Not everyone is so lucky 💖
Hi Dr Amir,
I want to know I am 31 years old and my face start sagging and looks dull am I suitable candidate for mini face lift surgery?
Thank you
You’re the bomb doc! Your work is incomparable.
True...down time not AS important as a great result
Love your work! Just a question, is a high SMAS technique better than just a SMAS lift? Thanks
Is the SMAS the same as the Vertical store?
May I ask how much the vertical lift starts? Also is the forehead lift included, any lid work upper or lower ?? Thank you
I have Crohn’s Disease and often suffer from malnutrition. Am I a good candidate for a vertical lift?
Hi Dr. Karam, I met with a plastic surgeon that was recommended to near where I live. She seemed knowledgeable but is not certified by either board. I’m curious about your thoughts on that. I live in a rural area with not a lot of choices. Thank you!
Most plastic surgeons in the UK don't list facelift at the top of their lists the majority list several procedures I'm sure they are very capable but trying to find one that has a real interested and does many face lifts is difficult 🙏
My daughter tells me I should go to Istanbul Turkey for my facelift. She’s in the Air Force and stationed in Germany and wishes to meet me there. What is your recommendation? What certifications should I look for in Istanbul?
I am interested in how much it cost for the facial rejuvenation and appointment availablity.
Hi Dr. K. What is the downtime for vertical restore? Love your channel! Thank you!
Hi Dr karam .Do you recommend a combination of facetite and liposuction for someone in 40’s?
......and a surgeon that looks like you😉👍I'm 50 not even considering a face lift yet. I swear yoga, doing inversions, such as headstand, handstands and aireal yoga inversions has helped maintain my youth. How much does a good face lift run, in cost?
My friend had face left they sent her home with a head full of dried bloody hair. Im an RN, I could not beleive it, I had to wash her hair while she sat in the tub, the entire tub was full of blood. Is that normal?
Dr Karam, left a message w/your office last week. Need referal(if you have one) for face-lift in Colorado Springs. Colorado.
Was this in Response to me?
10 year you might see a difference at 15 years they will have aged normally I know I had a face lift at age 45 now at 55 I may get away with knocking off 5 years but no more I would say I look 50 I do look after my skin spf everyday and tretinoin at night, good diet no alcohol or smoking I can definately see a difference in my face still from my piers but it's not as good as it was I would say my face lift was good for 10 years but now I think I need another one
Why do must surgeons use stock photos instead of their patients. I went for several consultation visits and the 3 doctors all had stock photos.
How much a facelift cost?
What is double board certified? Is there a separate board for Canadians?
My Future surgeon zaddy
I can ask a surgeon how often they perform facelifts, but that doesn’t always mean they are going to tell me exactly how many or how often. So what do you do then? Do you take their word for it, what else can I ask for as proof that they do indeed perform these facelifts more often than 1ce or 2ce a month.
If they perform a lot of facelifts, they should have a lot of before & after photos in their galleries. Perhaps they won't have photos of all their patients because many people don't want their pictures online. But they should have quite a few.
How can I find a triple certified surgeon to preform under eye surgery?
I live in Ohio and I’d go to you hands down!!!
Dr. Who would you recommend in So Florida? I can’t go to you, pray I would be able to afford you, I’m not in that financial bracket.
When was this video actually made it states 23hours ago .
I would like to learn more about men’s facial surgery. I.e do I need a surgeon who specializes in men’s facial lift.
You should always do your research before seeing any surgeon, it is important to look at before and after photos and make sure the results you see is what you are looking for.
God day doctor! 😊question; Have you worked on women of color? Would you be comfortable working with women of color? (WOC)?
With your prices my face will have to do... Crazy
I’m in Honolulu Hawaii.. what state is your practice located?
Do you do a mini vertical lift.
So I’m 60 now and I had a ‘lower face lift’ about 3 years ago. It’s not bad; my face does look better, but I definitely have some things that I don’t love about it. The question is.. do I go back to that surgeon to try and find a solution to the issues or do I find a new surgeon since I didn’t love the outcome the first time? To address the points made in your video he is board certified, he specializes in face lifts and has a busy practice. I didn’t get a bad feeling from him or the office but in retrospect, I never felt a super warm ‘I got you girl’ kind of vibe either. I absolutely did not look at enough examples before moving forward. So… give him another chance or move on?
Def. move on.
Hi! Doc I am from Illinois can you recommend a Board Certified plastic surgeon
Unfortunately I cannot at this time. I suggest you use Realself and Castle Connolly to research surgeons in your area.
Check out Dr Ben Brown of Restore Plastic Surgery in Pensacola FL. How does a surgeon have so many botched surgeries that patients are now sharing? How can he be held liable for accidentally killing his wife during an in office procedure because he didn’t have a crash cart?
Help! Who can i go to in NY upstate? Please
I would love to have you do my face, but I do not see you present melanated skin or keloid prone skin… correct me if I am wrong
Hi Dr. Karam,
I am in my 40's and have lost 95 lbs in the last 3 years. I have another 100bs to lose and that may take another 2 years. I have a lot of excess skin on my neck (and turkey neck) and some volume loss on my face. I realize that I should wait until I meet my weight loss goal for a vertical lift, but what can I do now? I would like to my best now. Also, can I get an upper and lower lid blepherplasty now?
Thank you
Jessica Detsch - Just my opinion - but if I were you I would wait until after you are done losing the weight you want to lose. Even 10 lbs makes a big difference in your face. Considering the expense and the technique used it makes more sense to wait. You don’t want any regrets
@@lilagood1963 ty
Hi...do you know of any doctors in Illinois that do vertical face lifts?
it's just marketing. look for 'deep plane' rather than this vertical nonsense from this doctor
@@FadeToBlack888 There is actually a vertical type of lift I believe called "High Smas". So I have doubts as to whether the "Vertical Restore" is some type of new procedure.
I invite you to Come to Australia for a beautiful holiday... ohh and while you are here, i have the perfect candidate for you to do some aussie surgery... me! 😅😊
Where is your practice located?
I’ve seen a PS about a facelift but he refers to it as a Lower Face and neck lift. I’ve asked about the mid face and he said “no one does those anymore” and that I would get volume in the cheek with the lift. Does this make sense to you? I’m thrown off by the term “lower facelift”.
Do you work with any plastic surgeons in Manhattan, NY?
How can I get a consultation and how much to you charge? Thanks!

If i want to come to you for a facelife and maybe fat transfer what do i need to do. I am coming from Australia so how much am i looking at in $$$ and where are you in San Diego. Margaret thank you
Do you know and trust a facial surgeon in Australia?

Can anyone tell me what the price of a vertical restore costs?
It starts just the basic vertical restore at 50,000 and it can go all the way up to 120,000 maybe more depending all the different techniques you have done. What I want done would be around 75,000 haha vertical restore upper eyelids and fat transfer
You can get the prices on his website but here are some:
Vertical Restore: $65,000 - $70,000
- Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty: $15,000
- Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty - $12,000
- Lip Lift: $10,000
- Fat Transfer: $25,000 - $30,000
- Facility Fee, IV Sedation & Operating Room: $4,500
......plus, if applicable, the cost of traveling to his surgery center.
@@susanbaker2796 yes absolutely. And the cost of staying somewhere for at least a week
@@e.b.4379 I guess the price went up a little bit when I asked last year I got a starting price at 45000
Did you use lip filler?
I believe you are a very caring and more than competent surgeon; however, you are 3x higher than top surgeons in NY I’m sure you’re worth a lot, but regular people just can’t afford this. Are you catering only to the rich. I was definitely planning on going to you, but the price is astronomical. Any response to that?

For those who can afford the more expensive
He's a self publicist. Invites you to ask questions then ignores you. To busy pedaling his products. Advises against procedures he doesn't do. Look at a lot of his before and afters. Women who are already beautiful. Any surgeon who has to market themselves so heavily is not worth going to.
