- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Co2 recovery
In response to someone's question: The co2 was just to remove the web like scarring. The recovery was minimal, maybe a day or two. I was ok with being seen in public. The next procedure was clear and bright and recovery was also minimal, maybe three days. I went out with family who didn't even notice anything. I'm very happy with the results and noticed improvement as time passed after the procedure. I'm eternally grateful to Dr. Kara.
After second treatment
First treatment was Co2 and Clear & Bright (fractional laser). The second treatment is with Clear & Bright only. Dr. Karamanoukian said that in the future when I'm ready, he can perform a lip lift revision to help with the white scars under my nose. He said that he'll place the incisions up inside the lower nostrils so that the scars inside the nose aren't visible. I trust him enough to do the revision in the future but I have to see when it can fit it into my schedule. I was very happy with the results after the first treatment because it completely eliminated the webbed scarring and pits around the alar crease. The pics as of today still have some scabbing from the last treatment. But I'm so happy with the results that I have no problem going out in public and work. My very observant 20 year old so never noticed the temporary redness or scabs around my nose. I trust Dr Karamanoukian so much, I've scheduled Lipo of the abdomen and Ultherapy.
