I previously had lower blepharoplasty with Dr.Karamanoukian in 2013. The results exceeded expectation. I am in nursing school so had to wait for time off in order to do uppers. The results are already fantastic and it's only day 1! Dr.K and his assistant are a well choreographed team. Dr.K is a true master of art. He gave me exactly the look I had hoped for. Dr. Is caring, kind, and brilliant. Great combo in a ps! I will go back in 10 days to get stitches out and hopefully get sculptra to complete the look. I highly recommend Dr.Raffy Karamanoukian to both males and females! You'll love your new look! Quick and painless:)

Welcome to the community and thanks so much for offering your opinion of your doctor.

It would be great if you could give us a little more detail about your experience, like why you had the surgery, your tips for getting good results, pros/cons, and info on the recovery process.

I had the surgery because my eyelids were beginning to hover over my eyelashes. My eyelids aged me considerably. I had recently lost 50 pounds and am very motivated to further improve my physical appearance and health state. There was no question of which Dr. To chose as I would not accept work done from anyone other than Dr. Karamanoukian. I was numbed with lidocaine injections, talked comfortably during surgery, and applied ice packs after. There was very minimal pain involved. I am already enjoying my result.

your eyes look AMAZING!! I'm going to have to go check him out. I have only one hooded eye. One eye has a perfectly normal lid and the other droops horribly. It looks ridiculous!

Would love to see your pics, hope you can upload them soon. You mentioned you had your lowers done. I an considering this, am in Los Angeles close to Santa Monica. From the pics I do see, they look great. I am thinking about going in for an evaluation. My guess it's more to have the lowers done? I am guessing the charge for that is 3,200.00? BTW You have very nice skin!

Thank you very much. My lowers I do not have pics of unfortunately. The difference was unbeleivable! I had very puffy under eye bags. They appeared bluish purple. The skin is now firm, no bags, no discoloration. I don't even use concealer anymore. I beleive that surgery was $2000. Dr. used local anasthetic, @ hrs after surgery I was at the grocery store! Super easy, no pain. I love my doctor, I trust him completely. I am going to get sculptra on the 23rd of June! I'm super excited!
