He always took the time to listen, patiently answer my questions and made the process comfortable. I’m 6 weeks out and happier than ever. I’m so thankful I chose Dr. Karimi for my rhinoplasty. I’d recommend him to anyone I meet! —Randa J.,Rhinoplasty
Dr. Karimi is AMAZING! I had 2 pretty extensive procedures done at the same time and am so, so happy with the results. From the first consultation, I knew that he was the doctor that I would go with after having 2 other consultations with other doctors. —Lisa B.,Facelift
Dr. Karimi is AMAZING. He did my rhinoplasty and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. He also goes out of his way to do many small things that most surgeons/offices don’t. For example, supplied me with nearly everything needed for recovery, including natural supplements. I’m so grateful. —Rayna H.,Rhinoplasty
Dr. Karimi performed an otoplasty on my right ear to push it back into a better position and I couldn’t be happier! My right ear had always stuck out more than my left, which gave me a bit of insecurity, now my ears are perfectly symmetrical. The healing was way quicker than I expected. —Michelle K.,Otoplasty
I LOVE Rejuva and everyone who works there! Dr. Karimi is an artist. His bedside manner is comforting and impressive. He has a team full of professionalism, intelligence, and skills. Natalia is delicate and has an eye for natural beauty...I couldn't say enough good things about them! —Kasey L.,Dermal Fillers and Injectables
A brow lift, also called a forehead lift, is a plastic surgery procedure that raises the eyebrows and eliminates fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead. It also diminishes or erases furrowed brows that give off an angry expression. The goal is to create a more relaxed appearance that looks rejuvenated without looking surprised. There are several methods for performing an eyebrow lift. They consist of endoscopic (minimally invasive), open approach (making incisions either just behind the hairline or within the hair itself), or direct approach.
Who is the ideal candidate for Blepharoplasty?
People who show the signs of aging in their eyes may be ideal candidates for eyelid surgery. Blepharoplasty is often selected to diminish a tired facial expression that is the result of excess skin on the upper and lower lids as well as around the eyes. Once it is tightened and the excess skin is cut away, a more relaxed and rested look is created. Additionally, excess skin on the upper lids can hinder vision making it necessary for people who have this issue to have eyelid surgery.
When will I see the results from Blepharoplasty?
The recovery process from blepharoplasty takes only a few weeks to complete. Much of the swelling and bruising goes away within a couple of weeks; however, it may take just a few weeks longer. As the recovery process continues, the results become more visible with the complete look achieved within a month or so.
What are the benefits of a PDO Thread Lift?
NovaLift uses thin threads made of polydiaxone (PDO) to stimulate collagen growth beneath the skin. These threads are inserted in specific areas such as your jawline to eliminate wrinkles and restore a full appearance. NovaLift has long been available in Asia and Europe, and has recently been approved for use in the US. PDO is completely safe and dissolves within the body over 4-6 months. While it remains in the body, it promotes collagen generation, and you will likely continue to see results for a full year after insertion.
How long is the Thread Lift procedure?
NovaLift can be completed in less than an hour. The need for preparation is minimal: only a numbing agent is applied on the targeted area of the face or neck. Results are instantly visible and no recovery period is required. For patients with more pronounced aesthetic issues, NovaLift should not be used as a substitute for a full facelift. Your doctor will make a recommendation based on your specific needs.
How does Rhinoplasty correct breathing issues?
Breathing is one of the most fundamental activities of life. If we cannot breathe, we cannot live. Due to birth defects or trauma, our ability to breathe through our nose can be impaired, often because the air pathway is physically blocked. If breathing problems go unaddressed, they can result in serious problems, including: Chronic headaches Increased risk of cardiovascular conditions Impairments to daily life (not being able to walk up the stairs, run, etc.) Increased risk of dizziness and fainting A rhinoplasty corrects breathing issues by straightening the nose and clearing the air canal, allowing you to breathe freely again.
