Unbelievably Talented & Kind Doctor
WORTH IT
Dr. Karimi and his team are absolutely exceptional. His talent, integrity, kindness, and willingness to truly communicate set him apart in every way.
I came to Dr. Karimi with a very serious nasal valve collapse. I had struggled to breathe through my nose for the past couple of years and was waking close to 100 times a night because of it. I knew I needed a highly skilled surgeon, and after extensive research, I felt confident that Dr. Karimi was the most qualified to handle what ultimately proved to be an extremely complex surgery that few surgeons could have performed successfully.
At the same time, I had undergone a facelift about 14 months earlier that left me with some issues under my jaw and noticeable hollowness around my eyes. Dr. Karimi thoughtfully discussed all available options with me. Together, we created a comprehensive plan: reconstruct the inside of my nose, performed a revision submentoplasty, and add fat grafting and nanofat around my eyes, neck, and face to restore balance and softness.
Before surgery, I was in regular contact with his nurse, Micaela, who is warm, calm, highly competent, and incredibly responsive. During my pre-surgical appointment, I came in with many questions, and Dr. Karimi was fully present. He addressed each concern thoroughly and patiently, which gave me tremendous confidence and peace of mind.
The most shocking moment came immediately after surgery. Despite the discomfort that comes with such a complex procedure, I woke up and could breathe. It was almost surreal. After years of struggling, the difference was instant. While recovery has not been easy - as expected with a surgery of this magnitude- I have never once doubted that I chose the right surgeon.
Now six weeks out, I am breathing better every single day. There is still swelling, but Dr. Karimi showed me a video taken immediately after surgery so I could see the intended shape before swelling set in. Even now, while healing, everything looks natural and very presentable, and it continues to improve daily.
The area under my chin remains somewhat swollen but is already significantly smoother and better than before. The fat grafting under my eyes corrected the hollowness beautifully and subtly - I look refreshed, not altered. The results feel harmonious and thoughtful.
What stands out just as much as his surgical ability is Dr. Karimi’s level of care. He treats his patients with seriousness and compassion, understanding how emotional and vulnerable these decisions can be. His collaborative approach makes you feel heard and supported throughout the entire process.
I truly wish I had chosen him for my original facial surgery. His combination of technical brilliance and genuine humanity is rare. I have already recommended him to friends with complicated nasal issues, and I would confidently recommend him for facial surgery as well.
To be in the hands of a surgeon this talented - who genuinely cares and takes his work so seriously - is a gift. I am incredibly grateful, and I know my quality of life and athletic ability will continue to improve now that I can finally breathe again.
