Performed a complex reconstructive nose surgery

I was in an accident many years ago, and after many reparative surgeries, I was still left with a nose deformity. Dr. Churukian, using his artistry and deft hands, performed a complex reconstructive nose surgery, bringing me back to normal. This is the plastic surgeon you are looking for. He is very thorough, up-to-date on the latest procedures, and makes you feel trusted and comfortable with his advice.

His bedside manner & advice is always helpful

He is my favorite for sure. His bed side manner & advice on what is necessary & what is not is always helpful. I have done tummy-tux years ago after my twins were born & still happy with it. I would recommend him.

One year post explant my breasts looked normal and balanced

I had 240 cc cohesive gel implants submammary for almost a decade. I had no structural pain, or physical discomfort in my breasts from the implants, but gradually experienced a drastic deterioration of my overall health. I become intolerant to nearly every food, product or chemical on earth. I had insomnia, night sweats, heart palpitations, adrenal fatigue, hypothyroidism, low WBC, and much more. My health issues were as labeled "autoimmune." I spent an unknown amount of money working with alternative, allopathic, naturopathic, shamanic practitioners, etc. I had the cleanest diet, the most natural home and products, yet I was still losing the ability to think and function. I stumbled across "My Breast Implant Illness Journey," on youtube and was shocked since I had not heard of this condition. I explanted within a week of watching that video. Explant quite literally saved my life! A year and half later I am thriving and essentially free of all the health issues. My blood work is perfect. My thyroid is back to normal. I am beyond grateful to have a second chance at life. I thank Dr. Churukian for helping me begin my journey to wellness. I experienced almost no pain after surgery, but did develop a hematoma in my left breast. This was uncomfortable and concerned me regarding the long term outcome of my breast. Dr. Churukian was a super star, and was so patient and calm throughout my recovery process. His bedside manner is second to none! He and his staff were available to me at all times and I felt totally supported during my recovery. My breast required needle aspiration to drain the hematoma several times which was uncomfortable, but not that bad. My left breast was enlarged and took months to heal, but time, massage and nibble suction cups helped it return to normal. One year post explant my breasts looked normal and balanced I am so grateful to Dr. Churukian. He is not only an amazing surgeon, but also an incredibly compassionate practitioner. I will not hesitate to seek out his care and expertise in the future. I hope this post helps you on your journey to health and wellness.

My Liposuction Experience

I had this one area of fat above my butt that just really bothered me! So fortunately I was in a position to get it taken care of after years of not liking that part of my body. I went to a few consultations and ended p choosing Dr. Kirk Churukian, we outlined a plan and I was able to get my surgery within a few weeks. Currently I am 3 weeks post op and it’s amazing to be able to start to see the transformation. I cant wait to see the results as time goes on.

perfect breast

I was beyond impressed with my experience at this doctor’s office! My first contact was with Rosemary and I was completely blown away by how helpful and kind she was. At my consultation Kristen & Dr. Churukian were so informative and really listened to my needs. Kristen was so caring and even showed up at the surgery center to calm my nerves. I am so happy with my surgery I referred 2 of my friends.

The most caring plastic surgeon! - San Jose, CA

Dr Churukian is so warm and friendly. He is also more on the conservative side which I appreciate!! I met with other surgeons who seemed so aggressive. Yuck. Even having their office staff call me to set up surgery, another appointment, etc. highly recommend Dr C!

Breast Augmentation - Los Gatos, CA

I had my breast augmentation in 1999. It is now 2015 and they still look great! Tons of compliments to this day and some are so impressed with the scarring. My mammograms show my implants to be nice and clear. Doctors are impressed as well. When I need to replace my implants there is no doubt that I will be going back to Dr. Chirukian. His staff was awesome!
