    I really appreciate your content. I wish I had discovered it sooner. In the last 2 hears I have consulted with 3 plastic surgeons and I have gotten almost the same response from each. I'm in my early 40s. I'm thin, teach fittness classes, and have a thin long face. No skin is hanging below my jaw, but my nasal labial folds and marionette lines are pronounced. (I dont smoke.) My temples are caved in as well and I have malasma. In each consultantation, I made a point of saying that the malasma doesn't bother me. But my aging face does. In each case the suggested treatments are filler, threads and different kinds of skin treatments for the malasma....chemical peel, LaseMd, etc (even though I said the malasma isn't a concern.) I have had some filler and it has improved the temples and tear trough, but there is no change to my nasal labial folds from the filler put in my cheeks. I did 3 treatments of Vivace and LaseMd and see no noticable difference in skin tone or texture or tighteness, which is what I was told would be a result of these treatments. In each case I have been told I'm not a candidate for a face lift. I'm interested n what you would say to someone who still has a good jawline and neck.....is filler in this case the best option? I asked one surgeon about fat transfer and he said I didn't have enough of the right kind of fat......I'm starting to dread that I have to live with what I feel is a prematurely aged face for 5-10 more years before it's "bad" enough to actually be improved. I'm not looking for a super tight face, I just want to bring those folds up away from my mouth. Thanks in advance for any insight, I realize without seeing me in person it's hard to give a definitive answer.

    I can’t tell you just how very helpful the last part of your consultation was for my decision-making process. I too, have had a difficult experience under full anesthesia (difficulty in being brought out), and have worried that a deep-plane would not be offered under local anesthetic (I had done ok with local & local IV, during lesser cosmetic procedures). I think I’m sold, but the waiting list for Dr. K must be very lengthy.

    I'm still looking for a video that explains what exactly happens during a consult when you are looking to *identify* the PS you feel good about. I had what I thought was a very disappointing consult with a well-known PS on the East Coast. He said hello and promptly took all angle photos. Then we sat in his office (he sat a few feet away from me behind his desk). I told him I wanted a DPFL/NL and lower bleph. He agreed. I then asked a few questions and that was it. He never examined my face closely, never touched my face, never even mentioned my age (and I'm pushing 70, but still in good facial shape). He said he would do the lower bleph by *repositioning the fat pads*, but after I got home, I researched that and learned that it is NOT advisable to use that technique, which was popular in the 1990s. He NEVER reviewed my medical history (astonishing!), never asked about my lifestyle, reasons for wanting surgery... so, now I'm concerned. Is this a typical consult? Or was I expecting too much? It didn't seem like much of an evaluation at all.

    Hello Dr.Karam, I love your channel and your work. I am really interested in your skincare. A lot of influencers do videos that provide before and after treatment videos. It would be great to see photos of your patients after they have used your products. just an Idea. There is also a woman on youtube, Lorry Hill (love her) who had plastic surgery which she discusses and she also reviews procedures celebs may have had. She says she chose her plastic surgeon based on the before and after photos-the women looked 10 years younger. I think your patients look 10 years younger, too.

    Do you mean scars, or did you mean to type scares? Dr Karam has talked about scars before (on YT & IG) and shown them in some of his post-op patients. Scarring is minimal and hidden but it can also depend on one’s genetics and whether they keloid or not. There’s lots of ways to improve surgical scars, such as silicone gel/tape products, laser resurfacing, etc. What has not been proven to be helpful are products like Bio Oil, Mederma, Cocoa/Shea/Coconut Butters, and others.

    Can we just say we want to look younger? We don't have to use the excuse that we want to "make the outside match the inside." What if someone feels older than they are? I am sure that making the outside match the inside wouldn't be a priority then. Younger = prettier. Let's just be honest

    Great comment. In my case, I don't feel particularly "young", never did. Never even looked "young" or care to, now. I just find jowls and saggy skin ugly and a reflection of my future decay. I could say that jowls don't reflect who I am, but that's because they're distorting the face I always had. Basically, my motivation is not to have ugly sag.😆

    So is the expectation of society to look like you're 25 when you're 50? I mean, come on! She already looks phenomenal. I don't know why she feels a need to change anything, but whatever. I guess the now-society has Kardashian-Jenner standards of " beauty " 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

    Because it depends on the patient. You need to contact his office to get that info. They’re very willing to provide a breakdown for each procedure.
