Dr. Karam, San Diego - Fantastic Facelift Outcome
I had a Vertical Restore two months ago with Dr. Karam. Between the ages of 45-48, I developed significant nasolabial folds and the skin around my mouth sagged leaving two grooves / indented lines on both sides of my face. I felt I suddenly looked much older than I felt.
The best recommendation for Dr. Karam and his team that I can give is that if I had seen a picture of myself post-surgery before surgery, I would have signed up immediately with him. The results are amazing. The nasolabial folds have disappeared, the mouth sagging has been reduced significantly, and my neck line is much cleaner. I don't look different in that I look like myself 10 years ago - i.e., there is no change to my face shape - but in terms of the nasolabial folds and sagging the difference is astounding from how I looked pre-surgery.
In addition, Dr. Karam's team was excellent, especially during COVID when in-person contact was minimized. There was absolutely no hard selling from anyone, just a straightforward, easy to understand explanation of what Dr. Karam felt he could do for me. Dr. Karam's website provide lots of before/after pictures of this operation; significantly more than most providers' websites that I looked at. Post surgery, they managed COVID really well with a great balance of in-person visits coupled with FaceTime etc. calls. The nurse who helped perform the operation gave me her cell number and told me and my husband that we could call or text her anytime day or night; I called her twice and she was patient and extremely helpful. The team reached out most days following surgery because I had some pain issues due to swelling for a couple of weeks. I felt like I could contact them anytime.
As others have noted, Dr. Karam might be more expensive than some providers but based on my outcome, his prices are well, well worth it.
I cannot recommend Dr. Karam highly enough.
