Dr. Karam and Staff, the Best of the Best!!
My entire experience at Carmel Valley Facial Plastic Surgery has truly far exceeded my expectations. The kindness and compassion received since I started this journey has been incredible and very much appreciated. The entire staff made me feel heard, respected, and truly cared for throughout this entire process. Absolute A+ Team in every way!! Everyone involved was a phone call/text away at all times, including Dr. Karam, which helped put my mind at ease. Above and beyond care…Thank

Deep Plain Excellence
Overall, I had a very professional, caring and lighthearted environment. Very pleasant efficient no negatives at all really is really nothing. I can say that would be. It was OK. Everything was pretty much. Excellent the way from start to finish service. I have no complaints whatsoever as good a result six days into this procedure as I could've anticipated I would recommend this doctor and his staff again and again thank you.

A Great Experience from Beginning to End!
My overall experience has been remarkable! Dr Karam and his staff are incredibly professional and caring. They took the stress and guesswork out of a daunting process and I could not be happier with my treatment and early results. Cannot wait to see his work a year from now - so excited!

Excellent Experience
Dr. Karam and his staff provide professional, top notch care with every visit. I still have inflammation but i can already see that my eyes look so much younger! I have viewed every before and after that Dr. Karam has posted so I know that I am in great hands. Thank you!

Great Experience at Dr. Karam's Office!
The staff was totally upfront with everything I should expect. Very happy with the level of information I was given. Every stage of my vertical restore was as described by the staff and Dr. Karam. I would definitely recommend this office to any one of my friends or family!

Perfectionist Doctor!
Three weeks out from my Vertical Restore, and I look at least 20 years younger. Dr. Karam is hands down the best plastic surgeon in the United States. He is a perfectionist, and his patented technique takes you into a Time Machine. I will never regret choosing him as my doctor. His team is extremely qualified, and able to answer most questions. Watch his videos, look at his instagram, and you will get all the information you need prior to surgery. He’s worth every penny!

Very happy with my results
Very happy with my results. Six days out, and I feel great. The staff, nurses, Dr. Karam, and everyone else have been wonderful. I was very nervous about getting my sutures removed, and Ishani helped immensely feel very relaxed and took away a lot of that anxiety. Very very professional staff and practice.

Amazing Experience!
Dr. Karam and his staff are exceptional. They addressed my concerns and made the entire experience non-stressful. Antonio was such a pleasure to work with from the very beginning and prompt with his responses. Nurse Stacy is hilarious and really helped me understand the healing process, which alleviate my anxiety. Both Ishani and Casey were so helpful each day I met with them and were very gentle with cleaning and my stitch removal. They are both very nice and helpful.

Only 7 days post op but I can tell the final results are going to be spectacular
Dr. Karam and his team were nothing short of amazing! I felt like I was working with the dream team from start to finish. I’m only 7 days post op but I can tell the final results are going to be spectacular. I’m very confident in Dr. Karam’s ability to make people look exactly like themselves but just about 20 years younger. I’m excited to send in my pictures after the healing process. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know some of Dr. Karam’s team. I plan on staying in touch and
