AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Post-Pregnancy Procedures

One of my favorite experiences in plastic surgery is to restore a woman's aesthetic following childbirth. A "mommy makeover" allows me to do that by combining a surgery to improve the breasts that may have deflated and drooped from breast feeding, and also a surgery to improve the belly that may have formed a diastasis and stretchmarks after childbirth. The surgery to improve the breasts can be a breast implant and/or lift, while the surgery to improve the belly is often a tummy tuck with liposuction of the flanks. In my tummy tucks I always use a scar minimizing technique to provide a short waistline incision well hidden below the bikini line, and a special belly button technique to provide no visible scar on the external skin.

Rhinoplasty and Nose Shaping

I perform more rhinoplasty surgery at my practices in the greater Boston area than any other type of surgery. I love the inherent challenge of detailed surgeries, and no other surgery demands such attention to detail as rhinoplasty. I enjoy creating a natural, balanced appearance when enhancing a nose, to truly complement the rest of the face. Rhinoplasty is a game of millimeters, and the slightest adjustment to the dorsum can affect the tip or vice versa. While some noses can benefit from more significant modification than others, my goal is always to strive for a natural-looking result. It’s so important to me to not compromise patient care that I do a six-graft standard rhinoplasty, for every single primary rhinoplasty. Another must with nasal surgery is to reinforce the changes I’m making with cartilage grafts. Grafts help maintain the appearance of the nose over time by preventing collapse and keeping things straight. This helps alleviate two common causes of revision rhinoplasty.

Breast Surgery

I specialize in breast augmentations, breast reductions, and breast lifts, which I frequently perform with implants to deliver the best result. Breast reductions and breast lifts are big surgeries—each takes at least three hours—and I take care that every stitch is perfect. I’m no less detail-oriented with breast augmentations. I always try to provide the desired aesthetic result immediately after surgery by carefully placing the implants low, so the patient won’t need to wait long for the implants to drop. I also customize the surgery to the patient’s desired aesthetic by providing a variety of implant options, some with more projection than others, to help create the exact look the patient is trying to achieve. I always utilize a short (less than 1-inch) incision, concealed within the breast fold, to place the implants under the muscle via a dual-plane technique.

Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty

Absolutely incredible experience with Dr. Markarian! I had a rhinoplasty/septoplasty and truly could not be happier with my results. I noticed an immediate improvement in my breathing and it has continued to improve throughout my recovery. I absolutely love my new nose. Dr. Markarian was very attentive. He made sure it looked balanced, natural, and still like me but enhanced in the best way possible. He listened to what my concerns were and made sure each were addressed. I especially appreciated the time he took to explain everything beforehand so I knew what to expect post operatively and throughout the healing process. He was easily accessible and responsive when questions did arise to give you peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Markarian without hesitation! His skill, dedication, and genuine care are unmatched!

Highly Recommend

I’m five weeks out from a breast lift and implant exchange with Dr. Markarian and couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. The entire experience was seamless from the initial consultation, to scheduling, the surgery itself and through post op. Dr. Markarian took time to listen and truly understand the results I was looking for and delivered on all marks. I would highly recommend him!

The Best Decision I've Ever Made

I cannot recommend Dr. Markarian enough! I am currently a little more than two months post-op and I am already in love with my results! I had very little pain following the surgery and have been very pleasantly surprised with how quickly the swelling is going down. He was able to improve the appearance of my nose and improve my breathing while giving me a very natural result. The entire process has been so smooth and enjoyable. Dr. Markarian is very personable, knowledgeable, and is ready to answer any questions you may have. He also has an amazing team supporting him, making every aspect of my surgery easy. I am looking forward to continue meeting with Dr. Markarian through follow up appointments and I am so excited to see my final result!

The Worthiest Expense I Made in 2025

Dr. Markarian is a truly fantastic plastic surgeon. From our first consultation to the final result, he showed a combination of outstanding aesthetics and surgical precision. My big concern about breast augmentation after reviewing many surgeons’ cases gallery is the apparent borderline of implant and the overly full and high look. However, my breasts look beautifully balanced and natural, exactly what I hoped for. They also feel so natural that I often forget I ever had surgery. Thanks to Dr. Markarian’s exceptional technique! This was the worthiest expense I made in 2025. I feel happy, confident, empowered, and genuinely grateful.

Dr. Markarian is a Gem!

Dr. Markarian is a gem. His expertise is unmatched and his ability to make his patients feel seen, heard, and safe after often complicated surgeries is remarkable. He is available when you need him, and listens to your every worry, anxiety and concern. I would recommend Dr. Markarian to my closest friends and family. He performed a revision surgery for me and gave me my breathing back, which (after only a few months) has been life changing! I’m in awe of what he has done for me and the ways in which my quality of life has already improved. I am forever grateful to Dr. Markarian and also his staff for their kindness and professionalism.

Dr. Markarian is the BEST

Dr. Markarian performed my septorhinoplasty five months ago, and I truly could not have had a better experience. He was incredibly patient, took the time to explain everything thoroughly, and always made sure all of my questions were answered. His attention to detail and expertise really stood out. He completely fixed my breathing issues and gave me a result that looks natural and is exactly what I had asked for. My confidence has improved so much, and I’m beyond happy with my results. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Markarian to anyone looking for exceptional care and outstanding results.

I’m in Absolutely Love with my New Nose

Dr. Markarian couldn’t have done a better job! I came to him to address difficulty breathing due to a deviated septum. He took his time listening and understanding exactly what my goals were. I underwent a septorhinoplasty to improve function and appearance. He helped me to feel prepared and was wonderful interacting with my family following surgery. As for the surgery itself, everything went smoothly and he did an excellent job. He gave my nasal cavity structure and corrected it to be completely straight. Since recovering I’ve been ecstatic at the improvement my new nose has afforded me in daily life and in running. I had it done in time for my engagement and graduation. I’m so glad I did! My nose looks perfect in the pictures and I’ve never felt more beautiful. My favorite part is that he exactly tailored it to compliment the rest of my features. I can’t recommend him enough.
