Dr. K and his staff are so amazing! They are so professional, caring and friendly. The one thing that really impressed me(although there were so many), the night before my procedure, Dr. K called me to see if I was ready and how I was doing. This shows how much he cares for each individual patient. Dr. K and his entire staff always took their time to answer all my questions and always made me feel comfortable.

My procedure was quick and the pain and discomfort were minimal. I liked the fact that the procedure took place in his office. I felt fine after. I did have some bruising and many shades of yellow and green, but it went away after a week.

I would highly recommend Dr. K to anyone who is thinking about plastic surgery. I wouldn't even get a second opinion, he is the best! This whole thing was a great experience and I am so glad I did it, and would do it again.

Hi,
I am considering fat transfer; however, I'm getting horrified with all these stories. I'm scheduled to meet with Dr. Karam. Can you post pre and post-op photos? Thanks!

Many comments are from soon after. This process fades away in a year! Beware!

I only wish it would "fade away"...Its been 6 months for me and I still look awful. Lumps and unnatural looking puffiness. Eyelids non-existant now and I now have bags under both eyes too. Aged me by 10 years. There are many reviews and comments by women who are still dealing with long after the procedure. One had it done 10 years ago and is still trying to find a fix. Not worth the risk in my opinion. Worst thing I've ever done to myself.

did you go to Dr. Karam, or another Dr. for your fat transfer? Your post was 2011…do you still feel the same about it all? I was thinking of doing fat to upper eyelid hollow areas, but I am afraid of making a terrible mistake!

Nobody posts pics on any of the fat transfer reviews, good or bad! I think there are a total of about 10... I'm pretty sure it's for privacy purposes. If you look at BBL reviews, everyone posts pictures because they can remain anonymous. But I agree, it would be nice.

I don't know about some of the "pro" reviews. Several just sound like an ad for a particular doctor rather than sounding like an actual patient. Perhaps that is why there are no photos provided on most of those reviews. I tend to be a little suspect when you see someone post...and then they never respond or post again.
