Great Experience
I had a stretched out piercing holes in my earlobes which was causing my earrings to point downward. I wanted to repair them. Dr. K did a fabulous job and in addition he did an earlobe reduction. As we get older, our earlobes lose volume. Now my ears look perfect. Dr. K. is knowledgeable and did not try to push me into additional procedures. He was also very easy to talk to as well as a good listener. I would definitely recommend him.

The Best Decision I Ever Made.
Where do I even begin. Dr. Karamanoukian is simply in a league of his own. After years of searching for answers and seeing countless doctors who couldn’t help me or didn’t truly listen, finding Dr. K has felt like the biggest blessing. I came to him for removal of an unknown foreign substance that had been injected into my lips years ago under the false pretense of being FDA-approved filler. It was silicone. And it was destroying my health. His office is absolutely stunning

Bellafill Complications
Recently, I traveled to see Dr Raffy K, for a Bellafill, which was injected decades ago. I consulted several doctors, and had multiple injections, with some improvement. I read about Dr. Raffy, being the specialist to treat this issue. I give him the highest recommendation for anyone who is seeking treatment for permanent filler issues. I am extremely pleased with the reduction I received in his medically proven, and scientifically based, treatment. He is extremely professional,

Expert of Function & Aesthetics
I cannot recommend Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian highly enough. As a naturally anxious person, I truly appreciate his ability to make me feel completely at ease. The supportive environment at Kare Plastic Surgery made my two recent procedures stress-free; Dr. Raffy and his staff went out of their way to ensure I felt safe and comfortable, making it an all-around great experience. The results of my June upper blepharoplasty have been life-changing. I’ve always had hooded eyes, but with

Biopolymer removal - I now have a beautiful & natural-looking shape
Ok, this review may be a bit long because I have so many great things to say about my experience! I had silicone injected in backside over 14 years ago and over the years my backside got bigger, wider and looked disgusting. Not to mention it started to spread to other parts of my body. I searched and searched for a doctor to take it out but the doctors I found either wanted to cut it out leaving my body deformed with huge scaring or charge me a ridiculous amount of money to
Bellafill Inflammation Treatment
I am so thankful to Dr. Karamanoukian …he helped me understand the issues I’m having with my Bellafill injections from another provider. He gave me hope to be able to reduce my nodules and scar tissue. But at the same time, explained how Bellafill works, and the problems it can cause by trying to remove or “laser” the area. His work and medical research on filler problems is greatly needed for thousands of women. He is trying to publish several research papers to help women

Miracle worker - results speak for themselves
I've been dealing with the results of overfilling with Metacril (a product similar to Bellafill) and silicone injections for 15+ years. I've had numerous surgeries, and the fix for this is overwhelmingly simple. He did a series of injections to bring down the volume and the results speak for themselves. The combo (Kenalog, verapamil, collagenase) isn't a permanent solution, but in the experience I've had with this, 5FU prevents new tissue formation. My plan is to have one more

Asymmetric lips look back to natural after silicone injection removal
After years of searching for the right surgeon to remove silicone from my lips that had become asymmetric, fake looking and were distracting from my face. I consider myself so fortunate to have found Dr. Karakamoukian. I knew immediately that he was the one after my first consultation, as he was so intuitive and responsive to my self-consciousness and concerns. My lips look 1000 times better, completely back to natural and I couldn't be happier. I only wish I had found him sooner.
