Procedures I'm known for

Face and Neck Lifts
While most surgeons will discuss options for a traditional Facelift and Necklift, Dr. Karam's unique approach to addressing the signs of aging and turning back the clock has resulted in a new paradigm for facial rejuvenation called the Vertical Restore™ One simple look at the results from Vertical Restore indicates the advancement this procedure has made over the traditional Facelift and Necklift.
Rhinoplasty and Nose Shaping
Our approach to our Rhinoplasty in La Jolla is different from what you might find elsewhere, primarily because of our comprehensive approach to all of our procedures. Rather than merely change the nose to the patient’s predisposed dreams or expectations, we take into account their entire face. Often, the patient -- and even other surgeons -- don’t realize the effect other features of the face (especially the chin) can have on the perception of the nose. A small or undersized chin, for example, can contribute to the illusion of a larger nose. In such cases, it may be a chin augmentation rather than an extensive rhinoplasty that’s required. We always take into consideration the shape and dimensions of your face as whole, rather than your nose as a single entity, when considering the best course for the nose job procedure. This ensures that our patients not only look their best, but that their noses also look natural and suit their face.
Eyelid Enhancement
Youthful eyes sparkle and look refreshed and alive, but aging causes a combination of changes that result in excess skin of the upper and lower eyelids, puffiness or bags of the lower eyelid, sagging of the corners of the eyebrows and loss of volume around the eyes, temples and cheeks. Our eyelid surgery in La Jolla can give you that bright and youthful look again.

Total years in practice: 18

I'm driven by helping my patients feel confident about their appearance and improving their overall quality of life with beautiful natural results. To see them smile with pride is the best part of my job and what keeps me continuously wanting to advance my craft.
