I just had a face lift performed in Pattaya/Thailand by a surgeron who has certainly not been on the board of american surgeons and I have to say I am absolutley chuffed by the results! I dont need to mentioned that it was about half the The whole procedure was smooth and pleasant and I could not wish for a better outcome.
Just to say, dont be fooled, there are other surgeons than Americans who do a fantasitc job!

I'm glad you talked about gut feeling as the most important thing.

There are surgeons on youtube that I've watched who come across as not just egotistic or unprofessional, but also downright creepy. I don't even need to check their website or call the clinic. I'm not letting those kind of people come near me in a drugged/unconscious state.

Trust your gut feeling after you've done the research for the paper qualifications AND after checking their reviews online.

I love your videos. I've worked for several plastic surgeons including a facial plastic and their work doesn't even come close to the results you achieve. Looking forward to my consultation with you next week!

I am interested in seeing the before and after pictures of patients at the 10 year, 15, and 20 years marks after surgery? With such an investment, it's important to see how long it lasts. Thank you.

If there is one thing I have learned in my one year of researching plastic surgeons is how a certified surgeon wants their patient to be healthy and happy with their results! But what I've learned about you Dr. Karam is that you've developed a surgery "The Vertical Restore" that heals quicker but it covers all of the areas on the face that needs restored! It's like remodeling your kitchen like you said " why would you change out everything but the cabinets... ?! " This is so true! But health is your no.1 thing and that makes me feel good about you!

I hope you’re still practicing when I get my facelift years from now

[emmacarasco]

Love love love this post!!! I’ve never heard a surgeon describe the importance of trust and listening to one’s gut (intuition!) as you did here! Also appreciate the detail to the check list you provide! Thank you!

[lourdesbeato]

Hi Dr. Thank you for the information. From the first time I watched one of your videos I knew you were the one to do my face. Even if I have to wait a little longer. You do great work, but not only that you look like a very honest person. Thank you

I had a facelift 10 years ago. I was 60, and at 70 I definitely could use Refresher.

[judyhopkins]

All the ones you’ve done are absolutely stunning and look so natural.

[robinshepard]

I can't wait to see you 🌅😇 I am saving for you to be my Dr. 💜💜💜💖

[Elizabethselby]

Please don't retire. Plan on seeing you in about 2 years!

[hattieknupff]

I would like to know the average cost of a vertical restore procedure with Dr. Karam. I do not doubt his ability and expertise, he is someone I would trust implicitly. Please let us know!

I just found your channel by accident and I wrote on another one of your videos. But when I saw the title of this one I had to say the wisest choice is to go to you. When Fen Phen came out I went to my doctor even though exercise would have done the trick. I trusted him and expected him to give me a physical. And talk to me about it before he prescribed it because I kind of knew It sounded too good to be true and safe. But the truth is when I made an appointment and I ask for it and he just gave it to me withou so much as even a consultation. He actually told me if I didn't feel like eating I didn't have to. The impression I get from you is you would thoroughly talk to your patient about why they want the procedure, what their expectations were along with all important information such as risks and the expectations the expectations versus reality. If I ever get anything done I'm knocking on your door. I'm just waiting to hit the lottery lol. Once again I think you are on YouTube to help people. I think that's wonderful thank you again I think I said thank you in the last comment I made 5 times.

I’m watching sitting at 30. Hoping and praying he’s still practicing or passed the baton to the next gen whenever it’s my time :D thank you for all your knowledge!!

[Hector-quvo]

There’s a surgeon here in the U.K. that does a vertical facelift but many of his patients results only last 4 months!! So what’s going on there? Why are so many ‘relapses’ taking place? I’d like to know more about actual facelift techniques and which ones produce the longest lasting results and why.
More and more people are coming forward with laxity from 6 months and beyond with SMAS lifts and 12 months onwards with deep planes. Most people just don’t ever see this because the ‘after’ photos we all see are taken a few months after surgery when everyone looks their best.

So please explain why facelifts don’t last and what will make them last the 7-10’years we get told that that do.

Hi you are great imo. Your bookshelves dont do you justice. New decor for your office

[Alice-fref]

Thank you for this very great video Dr. Karam. Trust has got to be a number one thing and that good old gut feeling. This is very good information Dr. Karam.

[carolejean]

This is the greatest video you’ve done yet!! Very informative! Frankly speaking.. I’ve taken a lot of time looking and researching different surgeons! I haven’t found one yet that has the results you have!! I’m impressed!

[linamgranada]

Dr. Karam, thank for all your fantastic information. I watch your videos often.

I wonder if you can do a video of ballpark prices for different procedures. I went to a famous surgeon in NY and his office staff told me that a neck lift with him costs 90k....

I would eventually like to find a good doctor with all of the qualifications you descrbed in your video that is within my budget, but would like to know what procedures cost more or less....

Many thanks!
