San Diego Rhinoplasty Patient Leanna describes her experience undergoing Nose Job Surgery with Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Amir Karam. As with every patient, Dr. Karam customizes each Nose Job Surgery to the patient. Being of Italian descent, Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Karam sculpted Leanna's nose in a way that beautified her looks, did not take away from her ethnic background and most importantly, looked natural. When you look at her San Diego Rhinoplasty Before and After Photos you will be amazed.

The most important first step in a successful Nose Job Surgery outcome is listening to the patient and really understanding what their hopes and desires are.. then delivering on that expectation. Dr. Karam's goal in primary San Diego rhinoplasty surgery is to create a nose that enhances the attractiveness of the entire face while preserving or improving nasal function (breathing). Each nose is unique, therefore, for each case, an individualized nose job surgery operative plan is developed that takes into account the patient's anatomy and cosmetic goals.

Today, things have changed dramatically. In the hands of a modern and well-trained facial plastic surgeon, dramatic yet natural-appearing results can be achieved using a variety of advanced minimally-invasive approaches, such as micro fat transfer, short-scar vertical facelifts, or skin resurfacing. In our practice, patients are offered a choice of local anesthesia or general anesthesia.
With the availability of these tools, the artistry of the field has improved. Patients are offered a range of procedures that can produce subtle to substantial changes in their facial appearance. The net result of the New Paradigm in Facial Rejuvenation is less down side but a much higher upside with respect to a natural rejuvenation and restoration of facial youth.

Fat Transfer To Face - Restore Youth Naturally - Amir Karam MD

858-259-FACE
In this video you will see Fat Transfer Before and After and get valuable information to help you select the facial plastic surgeon that will provide you the best results whether you are looking for Fat Transfer to Cheeks, Fat Transfer Under Eyes or complete Facial Fat Transfer.

The procedure, Fat Transfer to Face, is most commonly performed under local anesthesia with a light oral sedation. Patients go home the same day following San Diego Fat Transfer with little discomfort and essentially no downtime. Bruising from Fat Transfer to Face varies from Patient to Patient.

Generally, 40-60% of the transferred fat persists permanently. Although, the long-term efficacy of transferred fat has been documented in numerous studies results are extremely technique dependent. I encourage all my prospective patients to speak to past patients and ask them what their experience has been with the long-term results.

Facial Fat Transfer | Amir Karam MD | Carmel Valley Facial Plastic Surgery

Fat Transfer is also commonly known as Fat Injections and Fat Grafting. All three terms describe the same procedure. The process involves removing living fat tissue from one part of the body and using it to treat another part of the body. For more information visit

With time, our face looses fat and hence looses volume. This makes the face look tired, older, and less healthy. Fat transfer is used to restore the youthful contours and shape by eliminating the hollows and depressions, which make the face, look older, tired and less healthy. The patients range in age from late 30s to 80’s.

Fat Transfer vs. Filler - Dr. Amir Karam Interview

October 27, 2014 - Amir Karam MD of Carmel Valley Facial Plastic Surgery, San Diego, CA is interviewed by patient Lauren Traub Teton about the pros and cons of fat transfer vs. filler.
Dr. Karam shows the 11 places where he injects the fat on the face to create a comprehensive re-volumization of the face.

Lauren had Facial Rejuvenation with Dr. Karam a week before filming this video. See Lauren's after video, filmed in Feb. 2017, 28 months later, here:

He describes the history of brow lifts including the older coronal lift and endoscopic lift and discusses the problem with the look of these procedures, lifting too much of the brow creating an unfamiliar look.
He uses instead the newer and minimally invasive Lateral Brow Lift on just the outer part of the brow for a more natural look. His skin pinch lower blepharoplasty focuses on tightening up the extra skin vs.just removing the fat pad.
Dr. Karam gives advice on choosing a surgeon and shares his favorite non-surgical techniques for patients to maintain a youthful appearance and prevent damage including how to increase elastin and collagen over time to help the skin envelope maintain itself.
Amir M. Karam and Mitchel P. Goldman published the text book Rejuvenation of the Aging Face in August 2015.

The field of facial rejuvenation has advanced tremendously in the last 20 years. Until recently, when a patient walked into a plastic surgeons office they were offered surgery and nothing else. The surgical approaches were deeply invasive and the recovery took months. Often as a result of overly aggressive surgical approaches to rejuvenate the eyes, forehead, cheeks and neck, patients ended up looking distorted, pulled and un-natural. Unfortunately, many prospective patients today still have a vivid memory of these faces and they think twice about having facial surgery to refresh and rejuvenate their look. Who can blame them?

People are living longer healthier lives. We all recognize that the manifestations of facial aging can be emotionally difficult. Especially, when it is out of sync with the way you feel inside. The most common comments I get from my patients is that they feel much younger than they look or that they no longer can recognize the face in the mirror. Unfortunately, what often happens as a result of these changes in self perception and self-image, they begin to feel as old as they look. This is when their quality of life begins to suffer. As a result, this can have a real impact on the individuals professional and social life.
