Kouros Azar, MD

I wish I could give Dr. Azar six stars. I recently had breast lift and reduction surgery and six weeks later I am so excited and happy with my results. I’m relieved to have well proportioned breasts that are perky and lighter and make me feel much better in my clothing. Having a lift and reduction was so worth it and I am just very happy that I chose Dr. Azar and his incredible staff to guide me through and complete the process. Dr. Azar is very kind and knowledgeable and exceptionally talented. I highly recommend him to anyone needing breast augmentation or lift/reduction.

After losing 100lbs, I was left with a large amount of loose skin. No amount of exercise would make the skin go away and reflect all the hard work I did losing and keeping the weight off. I made the decision early last year that I wanted a tummy tuck. I've never had plastic surgery before and did a significant amount of research to find just the right surgeon. After much research on surgeons all over Los Angeles , I knew right away that Dr. Azar and his staff were the best choice. I was impressed by how organized, professional and kind the staff was and how Dr. Azar took the the time to listen to my needs and offer options and explained everything in great detail. Dr. Azar showed before and after pictures from patients with similar body types and I was blown away by those results. Within days of my consultation I booked my surgery for a tummy tuck with muscle repair and liposuction in several areas with Dr. Azar. The office staff went above and beyond to make me feel prepared prior to the surgery and always answered any and all questions I had. The appointments leading up to the surgery were thorough and it reassured me I made the right choice with Dr. Azar and his excellent team. I was anxious the day of the surgery but knew I was in most the excellent hands and was so excited to be a step closer to amazing "after" results. The surgery suite was private and comfortable and the staff truly make you feel like a VIP. As quick as I was put under, I woke up to my smiling husband. The surgery went very well and Dr. Azar removed a whopping 10lbs of skin and fat! My husband was also very impressed with how the office communicated with him and how organized they are. In the immediate days post surgery, the office staff called me several times to check on me. They truly care about you and are there to support you during the healing process. There are many post op appointments and I was so grateful for them as I read many other surgeons do not do that. Your care is paramount with this office! They track your healing for many months after the surgery. My results honestly were life changing and made me feel so great about myself. I can wear clothes I only dreamed about! My only regret, is not meeting Dr. Azar sooner! No regrets! I strongly recommend Dr. Azar and his team over and over and will show my before and after pictures to anyone that asks. Really, if you want the body you've always dreamed about - call Dr. Azar! You will not be disappointed.

Dr. Azar was very pleasant to talk to. One of his assistants, Lisa, was especially helpful and she spent a good amount of time at my pre-op visit going over all the details prior to my breast augmentation surgery. She eased my concerns regarding the surgery in general and went over my specific questions regarding the type of implants Dr. Azar was likely to be using, such as what the difference was between implant profiles and the cc sizes insofar as what the difference would be between a 450 and a 500 cc implant. Dr. Azar saw me twice before my surgery as well, and I was glad for this, since I went into my first consultation with some PMS swelling and not much of a difference in right and left breast sizes, but in our second consultation my breasts had a slightly larger difference in width after my selling had gone down naturally. I noticed that Dr. Azar was very precise measuring my chest and breasts, and he listened to my desire to have a "head-turning" breast augmentation look rather than a conservative one, and this led us to a nice agreement to meet in the middle as far as the general size my implants would be. Dr. Azar was honest about the fact that all results with each patient varies quite widely and that he would keep all of the things we had discussed in consultation in mind during my actual surgery.

I met with Dr Azar for a quote on a tummy tuck. He took the time to get to know me and what my outcome expectations were. He explained what the procedure would entail and what how long the recovery process would take. On the day of surgery, I was so nervous that I had tears in my eyes. Dr. Azar and his medical staff assured me that everything would be OK. I have to be honest: the recovery was very rough, as I had expected. Dr. Azar and his team were so supportive and caring. They were by my side every step. I am so happy with my results! I highly recommend Dr. Azar to anyone seeking a tummy tuck or any other plastic surgery. Thank you, Dr. Azar, for giving me back the confidence I though I had lost.

I have two major issues that have been nagging at me since I was younger. The first is my undereye bags. My bone structure has made it so that I've always had dark circles under my eyes, and as I get older they're only getting worse. I can hide the discoloration with makeup, but not the actual puffy bags. Plus, now that I'm aging, I'm getting finer lines in the bags that my concealer settles into - not good! My other issue, and the one that bothers me the most, is my acne scarring. I've had moderate acne most of my life, including cystic acne, and this has left me with a lot of horrible scars. 10 years ago I also had a 'freak' infection where my entire face erupted so bad that I had a fever to go along with it, and my doctor was stumped and had never seen anything like that. Needless to say, that just ruined my skin even more. After a few courses of Accutane, the cystic acne subsided, but I still get quite a few zits around my mouth and chin when PMS hits. Since my acne has mostly subsided, I was deemed a candidate for a very, very aggressive SmartSkin CO2 laser treatment. I also really wanted to get my eyebags taken care of, so I got a transconjunctival blepharoplasty done at the same time, both under general mask anesthesia. Dr. Azar was also able to use the laser to help tighten up my undereye area after he removed some of the fat to reduce the puffiness. Both procedures took about 1.5 hours total, and I'm currently on day 3 of the recovery process. I haven't had much pain at all, but I still have a long way to go in the recovery process. It's also impossible for me to judge the actual results, but I'm planning on posting pictures once I'm healed up.

I had an "eye lift" (transblepharoplasty) and a CO2 Laser procedure at the same time, as a gift to myself just before my 50th birthday. It was truly transformational! It took years off my droopy eyes and my sun-damaged face! Dr. Azar and his excellent staff were very attentive to me during my follow-up and recovery. I have also had Botox injections since my procedures, to help me stay looking my best. I would highly recommend Dr. Azar to anyone looking for a superior plastic surgeon, and his pleasant and gentle nature is a lovely bonus! :)

Have known Dr. Azar for over 10 years, started out with injections. Had him work on my Skin Cancer scar after mohs surgery. Decided on a Full Facelift to freshen my look for my childs wedding. Glad I Did. Outstanding result.

Dr Azar and staff are the best! With hs calm and caring manner you will feel instantly comfortable. I’ve had two surgeries with him, eyelid surgery and tummy tuck and both turned out beautifully! Very minimal scarring-he’s an artist! He and his staff were always available to answer any and all questions or concerns I had. No need to go anywhere else-he is the best in Southern California! 10 stars!!! I highly recommend him! Thank you Dr Azar and staff for the wonderful experience and my beautiful new body!

I have had two procedures done at Dr. Azar’s office. I had a breast augmentation and the cool sculpting which was my very first time having any type of cosmetic procedures. Dr. Azar really listened and understood the look I was going for regarding my breast augmentation. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He provided great advice and explanations to all of the questions I had. His right hand person, Lisa, has got to be one of the most honest, sincere and friendly person I’ve ever interacted with. I feel I can open up to her about anything. She was able to let me know in advance, what to expect based on her own personal experiences. I am beyond satisfied with the results of my surgery!! I actually receive compliments and get asked who my surgeon is because his work on my breasts was phenomenal. The results look natural but noticeable without looking like a stripper, which is exactly what I had expressed I wanted. My friends were also shocked as to my results of the cool sculpting procedure. They all want to go to Dr. Azar because of the results of both my procedures. Lisa did my cool sculpting and made it so comfortable for me. I felt like I was at a day spa because of how much she pampered me. :) I highly recommend him and his office. I feel lucky to have found them and will only go to them for any future procedures.

I can’t figure out how to edit a past review so here’s an update. I’m just over 3 months post op and completely in love. My body feels like mine again. Dr. Azar and his staff are some of the most lovely people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I am so pleased and so grateful. Every single penny was worth it. From start to finish Dr. Azar and staff show concern as well as compassion and went above and beyond my expectations to give me beautiful results. I wouldn’t dream of visiting any other office. I can’t speak highly enough of my experience.
