Michael M. Churukian, MD (retired)

Dr. Churukian is not only an incredibly gifted surgeon but he is one of the kindest people you will ever have the pleasure of meetI got. He has been my doctor for over fifteen years and always makes me feel like family. I came to Dr. Churukian after suffering multiple trauma to my legs after being hit by a car as a pedestrian. My legs were a mess and I was basically, lucky to be alive and walking. Just when I had come to the conclusion that my legs most likely looked as good as they possibly could given the accident, I was referred to Dr. Churukian. The man is truly an angel on Earth. He has worked tirelessly on my legs with fat grafting, liposuction, micro- lipo, etc., etc., to get them to where they are today. Most signs of my trauma are invisible now thanks to Dr. Churukian:)

My experiences with Dr. Churukian over the years have not just been limited to my legs. I trust Dr. Churukian immensely and feel that we both have the same idea about what is beautiful. He has a sharp eye and knows my face better than I do! I have had many tweaks over the years and have always been 100% thrilled with the outcome. His work is absolutely beautiful and virtually undetectable. You will never look “like you had work done.”

You may have to wait to snag an appointment but I promise you it will be worth it.

Have experienced a few different procedures over the years and every time I have come out better than when I went in. Fat transfer, mini lift, absolutely everything looks great and natural, very happy with the results and that i always look like myself only more vibrant and beautiful. Always get complimented

Ive had droopy eyelids and bags under my eyes since i was in my 20's. Unfortunately I inherited them from my dads side of the family.
My Mom found Dr Churukian through a few of her friends who had their eyes done by him. She was so impressed at their results that she immediately set up a consultation for me.
I was very impressed with the Dr and with his staff.
My surgery is this coming Monday and im pretty scared but excited to finally get my eyes fixed and to not have people tell me how stoned or tired i look anymore lol

I made it thru surgery Ok even though i look like i just went a few roubds qith Mike Tyson lol
The doctor decided to sculpt my jawline a bit and recycle the fat into other parts of my face this is why I have the head strap on.
Aside from irritated eyes and a lot of tenderness the worst part was a raging headache earlier.
I've been told the second day looks much worse I'll have to take another picture tomorrow.

The swelling is coming down. My right eye is much worse than the left. Im still having to wear my pressure bandage around my face for my chin & jaw line where the Dr did Lipo. Aside from my eyes still being irritated the most pain I'm having is coming from my jaw line I'm still very tender and sore. I see the doctor on Friday he'll be taking the suture tape off of my eyelids I'm so excited to see how all of this is going to turn out.

Dr took off the surgical tape today!
Still having pain and tenderness in my chin and jaw area from the liposuction and just generally not feeling well my doctor thinks I have a virus. He was pretty amazed at how well my incisions are healing

I cant believe how quickly time flew by after I had my upper and lower eyes fixed by Dr Cherukian. My lids have come down a bit but I wanted something very natural so the Dr didnt do a brow lift on me.
