    Above my lip on my left side, is where they stitches were

    I had a small cyst under my skin right above my lips that was starting to be noticeable. While I am not vain and or too worried about it, the bump started becoming larger and I was concerned that it may be a tumor or cancerous and if it became larger and there might be significant scaring. The entire staff and Dr. Samimi and Sarah (I believe that is her name) are fantastic, they were so nice every single interaction that I had with them and very patient with all my questions. I had my procedure on Tuesday the 9th and my stitches taken out Wednesday 17th. As you will see in the photos I am posting, it is barely noticeable that I had my skin above my lip cut open and stitched. Thank you, Dr. Samimi, and team. I appreciate you very much.

    Taken Dec 2020

    Update: 3 1/2 years POST OP LOWER & MID FACE LIFT. At almost 66 I like the natural laugh lines.

The staff is always friendly and welcoming

    I am writing this not only out of personal necessity but also as a warning to others. Years ago, I…read moreunderwent a breast reduction procedure performed by Dr. Jeffrey Umansky. When I expressed immediate and legitimate concerns about the grossly asymmetrical, misshapen outcome, I was dismissively met with the condescending remark: "Let's remember, they're sisters, not twins." This patronizing statement was clearly meant to deflect responsibility and silence a vulnerable, young patient who had just trusted him with her body. The result was not only physically disfiguring, but emotionally devastating. At the time, I lacked the personal and emotional support to pursue legal recourse. However, with time and reflection, it's become undeniably clear: I was negligently and carelessly operated on, and the trauma I endured has left lasting scars--both literally and psychologically. To be specific, Dr. Umansky's surgical execution resulted in: Sloppy and uneven internal tissue excision Poorly closed incisions, resulting in significant scarring and dog-ear deformities Asymmetrical areolas, with nipples more than an inch off from one another Long-term disfigurement that has made any corrective procedures extremely complex and costly Despite my desperation and embarrassment, I reached out to the office manager shortly after the surgery to request even a partial refund so I could afford reconstructive work elsewhere. My plea was coldly denied and ultimately ignored. The lack of professional accountability shown by both Dr. Umansky and his office was reprehensible. Since then, I have consulted with multiple board-certified plastic surgeons, all of whom confirmed the extensive damage done and emphasized the difficulty of now restoring what was once a healthy, intact chest. One even stated that the tissue had been "butchered"--their words, not mine. I have photographic documentation of both the immediate post-op results and my current condition, which I am prepared to share publicly and with appropriate legal channels if necessary. If the platform allowed, I would upload these images in full to give others the visual proof of what I have suffered due to Dr. Umansky's substandard care. Dr. Umansky, whether your staff chose to shield you from the fallout or not, you should know: your conduct was not only negligent but borders on medical malpractice. Your failure to take responsibility--medically or financially--for the irreversible damage you caused is inexcusable. I gave everything I had to pay for that surgery, and in return, I was left physically distorted and emotionally broken. This message is for the patients who have been silenced, dismissed, or gaslit into thinking they had no right to speak up. I speak now because I have found my voice--and others deserve to find theirs too. Your actions, Dr. Umansky, were not only unprofessional and unethical--they were, and remain, absolutely unforgivable.

I had such a life boost after a rhinoplasty, so now I'm all about buying a little confidence. We only have one life y'all!! Booked my appointment right after the consultation because I felt like they were realistic and honest with me about the results I could expect given my anatomy. I am only 6 weeks post op from my arm lipo + skin tightening, but I wanted to share my experience so far because it's been great. The entire staff has been super friendly and welcoming. The procedure itself went smoothly. I did it under local and was nervous, but it was seriously not bad at all. While I'm still dealing with some minor swelling since it takes 3 months to fully see results (which they prepared me for), I can already see the shape taking form hehehe. I have been wearing my compression garments religiously and getting the drainage massages twice per week. Recovery has been manageable, and anytime I've had a question, the staff has been quick to respond. Even though I'm not fully healed, I already feel confident saying I'd recommend. I'm super excited for my final results. I've actually already recommended this place to my mom who also hates her arms too lol. If you're already considering this place, just do it!

For the amount of money paid your result should be much better than they are. First red flag was the in person consultation the day before surgery- maybe 5 minutes. He didn't even seem to know my case. I was extremely concerned but my concerns were quickly dismissed by his staff. One of his nurses actually said to me "Bless your heart"! Wow, just wow! We all know what that means sweety. I have a double scar under my chin where he made two cuts (yes I have pictures) and has caused a double bubble under my chin. It was noticeable within a few months. his recovery nurse was amazing but quit within months of my recovery. In the beginning he said lasers would take care of the mistakes ( but never offered them himself). I was having a difficult recovery I called and emailed multiple times and was finally told Dr Karam was not available to talk to me. His emails also will disappear on his response for his protection so be aware. You will be dismissed, left to try and correct his huge mistakes. My eyelids still had extra skin which will require another lid surgery, he did offer to re-do them early on but after a year of ignored calls I will never let this man touch my face again. He would not allow any kind of red light for healing or oxygen chamber.. very standard with most plastic surgeons. All natural healing is what he promotes, it's just bullshit. No lasers will correct the deep scars and scar tissue he left. It's been 2 years and I still can't feel the sides of my face and under my chin. Find someone else! There are many more professional and skilled surgeons available.

During the consultation, I clearly explained what I was looking for. He mentioned under-the-armpit incisions, which interested me, but then quickly insisted that I would need a lift. I explained that I was extremely uncomfortable with a lift due to scarring, but my concerns were dismissed. He spoke very fast, was insistent, and both my support person and I felt lost and talked over. He told me my nipples were "turned down," which I disagreed with, and made unsolicited comments such as women not wanting to "look like a boy," that "guys don't care about scars," and that "you either have scars or you don't have bigger boobs." These comments felt inappropriate and made me feel pressured and insecure rather than supported. Overall, I felt that he did not listen to my goals or respect my boundaries. I booked this consultation specifically because of his advertised experience with endoscopic transaxillary cases and made my preferences very clear, yet I felt pushed toward a procedure I did not want. I would not trust this doctor and would recommend finding a surgeon who truly listens and has experience in the specific approach you're looking for. Additionally after the consultation, I called the office again to clarify whether it would be possible to proceed with an under-the-armpit approach without a lift, since I am comfortable with my breast shape and simply want more volume. He responded that I would "have the same breasts, just bigger," and that I would still have "the same problem." I explained that I do not see my breasts as a problem and that I like them as they are. He then told me that I should find a different doctor.

    I underwent a combination of a facelift, fat grafting, a lip lift, and upper/lower blepharoplasty…read morewith Dr. Karam in September 2023. Unfortunately, I am deeply unhappy with the results and the total lack of accountability regarding my concerns. My cheeks are noticeably uneven; one side remains significantly larger than the other. Now that over two years have passed since my procedure, I have developed deep irregularities (uneven and lumpy texture) across my cheeks and under my eyes. Instead of a smooth transition, the texture is uneven and looks unnatural. The lip lift left a very prominent and obvious scar underneath my nose. It is not the hidden or discreet result I was led to believe. Despite the facelift, I have an excessive amount of wrinkles around my neck, chin, and mouth area. As time goes on, the hollows and unevenness are becoming more pronounced rather than settling. The cost of these procedures was incredibly high. I feel that the premium prices patients pay are for his massive marketing and social media production, not for superior surgical skill. For the amount of money spent, one expects precision and personalized care, neither of which I received. When I met with Dr. Karam via Zoom four months post-op to express my dissatisfaction, he was dismissive. He refused to guarantee any revision work to correct these clear issues. It is now clear that this is a mass production practice where the focus is on bringing in new clients through polished social media photos rather than ensuring the long-term quality of the work. I deeply regret my decision. I am now forced to seek out another surgeon to perform an expensive revision to fix the damage. Please do your research beyond social media before choosing this clinic.

    It has been over six months since my facelift, and I have not noticed any changes. I have called…read morethe doctor several times and informed the staff that I have not seen any improvements. The doctor advised me to wait a few more months, but I find this response unhelpful. I am extremely dissatisfied with the results. The procedure was a complete waste of money, and the price charged was six times higher than that of other doctors in the same field. I deeply regret going to this doctor and would not recommend anyone spend such a significant amount for results that fail to meet expectations. I will not recommend!

Most importantly, Dr. Smoot is amazing! I could not recommend him and his team enough! I feel a sense of connection to him because his brother (Dr. Wendell Smoot) did my very first breast augmentation 20 years ago at LJCSC so who else better to choose as your surgeon! I went to his office for a consultation regarding removing my 20 year old saline implants and replacing with silicone. I still wanted a very natural look but at the same time go a little bigger and be able to notice it. He took the time to listen to my concerns and my hopes for the outcome of my procedure. He recommends what's best for your body type so you have the best natural results as possible and I LOVE how absolutely honest he is. I trusted him 100% and he gave me the exact results that I wanted. From my initial consult, to my pre-op, to my surgery day, to my post-op's, everything just went so smoothly! In terms of pain and the procedure - I was nervous about the pain that would be involved with the recovery, but I truly felt little to no pain. I didn't have to take any intense pain medication. I was up and moving around (with caution) the day after surgery. The techniques that Dr. Smoot uses to prevent pain post op is so amazing and my scars are barely visible! The team and the office staff go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable throughout the whole process and you leave feeling like family. I just love the level of service they provide! I am now 2 months post op and I couldn't be happier! I'm so happy with my decision to switch out my implants, and even happier that I chose Dr. Smoot to be my surgeon before he retires.
