3 mos post-op and all went well.

Went in for my 3 mos post-op back in December, and visit was quick and easy. Because there was still a little bit of swelling/lumpiness that was not super noticeable on the left lower jawline, Dr. Karam opted to do a steroid injection (free of charge). I noticed a decrease in swelling by that evening. So happy with my results, and so grateful to have done this!

2 months postop. Have follow up appointment soon but Dr. Karam's office still called to do a telephone check-in to see how I'm doing and if I had any questions- such excellent patient care.

Excellent, top-notch doctor with great credentials. Graduated top of his class, specializes and has thriving practice in facial surgery, which means he does many, many repeated procedures (highly important when choosing a surgeon). His office staff is a well-oiled machine, highly efficient, thorough, responsive (quick replies to emails, calls), and discreet. The office location itself is very nice, upscale, and convenient. Most importantly, Dr. Karam himself, despite being a very busy surgeon, is highly accessible. The office gives his cell number directly to patients, and I even had a chance to "test" it out pre-surgery when I developed a UTI in the days preceding the surgery date and had questions about the antibiotics. I decided to text him and lo and behold, he responded immediately! He responded multiple times on 2 different days preop, and was so friendly and helpful! I immediately knew that I would be in good hands post-op. Surgery was 2 days ago. Went super smooth, painless (!), and before I knew it, 2 hrs surgery had passed and I was already being picked up by husband to go home. I misplaced my post-op instructions, and the office responded immediately. Then, I couldn't find my vitamins instructions, and they again responded immediately. Went in for my 1-day post-op appointment and there was no wait- super smooth visit and Dr. Karam, again, had fantastic bedside manner and impeccable doctor skills. My husband, who is not an effusive person, commented afterward that he was impressed with surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Karam. He does cost slightly more than maybe some surgeons, but definitely worth it! (And he was actually about the same cost as the general plastic surgeon who wasn't even a facial plastic surgeon and required general anesthesia- so do your homework!). Dr. Karam teaches other doctors on his techniques; he has written book chapters on facial plastic surgery, presented a national conferences to other surgeons, and even provides consult calls advising other surgeons on techniques. If you want the best in the area, then this is the doctor. I did a ton of research and always check on educational/training backgrounds, stats, reviews, etc...and am so happy to have selected Dr. Amir Karam.
