    I would like to update my review that i left a year ago. I finally got my nose fixed by a different surgeon after Stepanyan ruined it. The surgeon who fixed it had to replace my cartilage since Stepanyan removed too much of it. Also my new doctor mentioned that when Stepanyan tried to fix my nose during the second surgery after he ruined it, he replaced some of my cartilage but put it in a wrong spot so my new doctor had to remove it from there and put it the right way. Its only being three weeks after my surgery with different doctor but my nose already looks much better then after Stepanyan messed it up. I am posting this review to let people know that whatever Stepanyan thinks its the best it could look in reality is not and he just doesnt have enough skills to perform a better job. I am including the picture of after Stepanyan and after another doctor. P. S. I called the office at least 5 times and requested my medical records for my new doctor who had to fix Stepanyan's mistake and the office workers found excuses not to provide me with my own records. They kept saying they are busy at the moment and will call me back at the end of the day but nobody reached out to me.

    Post survey jawline.

    In June of 2021 I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. Even being young in my early thirties, I also developed high blood pressure, difficult to control with medications, due to sleep apnea. First I was prescribed and used CPAP, but it was very inconvenient and almost impossible to use. I had a consultation with Dr. Stepanyan. After thorough evaluation of the severity of my problem and examination with CT Scan and measurements by Dr. Stepanyan, I found out that I can have Orthognathic surgery (corrective jaw surgery) where he would move my upper and lower jaws forward, including my chin, to open my airways and cure my sleep apnea permanently, with no need to use CPAP ever again. Dr. Stepanyan went over every aspect of what I can expect from the surgery along with what tools he would be using. He did the entire treatment planning virtually and even ordered custom titanium plates made precisely for my jaws, to secure them in the new positions. Dr. Stepanyan performed 8 hour very complex surgery at Huntington Hospital in Pasadena. After surgery he took great care of me while I was in the hospital and after I was discharged home. At my weekly follow up appointments he would make sure I had no pain or discomfort. He would also make sure my bite continued to sit correctly.  He was always available if I ever had a question or concern even in the middle of the night. I healed really fast due to Dr. Stepanyan's precise surgery and use of custom made plates and dissolving stitches over efficient incisions.  I had the surgery in December 2022. It has now been 7 months and I can eat whatever I want and I am sleeping better than ever. Dr. Stepanyan has tremendously improved my quality of life. I would highly recommend Dr. Stepanyan for this type of very complicated and intricate procedure. Thank you Doctor.

    Rhinoplasty - 6 weeks after surgery
    Vicki D.

    Dr Stepanyan is absolutely amazing!! He has a wonderful staff who are also absolutely gorgeous inside and out My story : finding him was very serendipitous. I was looking for someone to perform rhinoplasty. I had some consultations with other doctors but they made me feel like they were only out for the money and a quick job. I saw Dr Stepanyan's work on yelp and instagram. I called in that day and they had an opening for a free consultation!! He took his time talking me through his procedure. He addressed all of my questions, and he was very calm. He made me feel safe, heard, and cared about my needs. I wanted something natural and he was the perfect person for the job! My recovery was relatively quick (make sure you listen to the instructions) and I still have a great relationship with the office! I love my results and I love it more knowing I was well taken care of by him and his staff

    So many awards / degrees
    Mariam G.

    Here is my updated review : Dr. Stepanyan is the best doctor I have ever met. He is extremely knowledgeable and a humble man. His office is full of so many medical awards , achievements , degrees , certificates that it looks like he ran out of walls. I have done multiple procedures with Dr. Stepanyan and they were all wonderful experiences, one of the best things about his office is that he can do surgeries right there which makes the experience so much better. The doctor is always busy but...when it's your turn he will NEVER rush you and he will give you all his time. The staff is also great they are so friendly, nice, and efficient. Very good people.

    Scar on nose and permanent vein displacement from cheek implants

    As you can see, they have responded to my review. DO NOT BELIEVE THEM. after the implants were places Martin clearly showed us a scale of the sizes of implants, ours being literally the XL size (mind you, he promised they would be 'barely noticeable' yet decided to place the XL) As for the scar on the center of her nose, they have absolutely acknowledged it, and Martin recommended putting my wife under once again to fill in the scar tissue with cadaver skin. Remember that Stefanyan surgical arts center? To disprove the claims they are making I've attached a photo of the scar on the middle of her nose and a side angle showing the weird and lumpy shape of the nose. Obviously we are not letting them get anywhere near my wife's face considering all the damage they have already done.

    Selfie... so happy with my nose
    Princess P.

    The two best desicions in my life so far (I'm 27)- 1. Moving from Israel to LA. 2. Getting my nose done with DR. Stephanyan. Words can't express how grateful I am for him and his incredible stuff. He specializes on giving the most natural look. I went to an event 3 weeks after my surgery with bunch of friends and none of them could even tell that I done anything. He took my long tip and nostril and re- shaped it in the most natural, flattering way. My surgery ended later than expected so one of the nurses took me home to make sure I was safe. All the stuff is warm, kind, and extremely proffesional. I heard more than once : This is the most beautiful nose job I ever seen, so natural looking! Amazing! who is your DR"?!! It is DR. STEPHANYAN... AND YOU DON'T WANNA GO ANYWHERE ELSE. Thank you guys for putting up with me and being patient and helpful through the entire process With appreciation, Dori

    The nose job I got done by Dr. Martin Stepanyan, on May 8th 2018, was the best thing that has happened to me. It changed my entire life. Before, I had a nose with a bump and my septum was deviated. It was pushing on the left wall of my nose and was slightly blocking airflow from that side. My nose overall was too over-projected from my face. It was not symmetrical nor proportional to my face. My nose was that way due to my genes and to the fact that I fell on my nose when I was 4 years old and impacted it. My nose was my biggest insecurity. I felt like it made my look harsh and not gentle. It wasn't cute nor feminine. It didn't reflect how I felt inside. I didn't love my reflection in the mirror. I didn't love nor respected myself. I was not confident. After doing a lot of research and consulting with many doctors, I finally chose to proceed with Dr. Martin. The consultation was free, he listened, didn't rush me, cared, was genuine, was extremely reasonable with his price, was confident, and he earned my trust. He never told me to photoshop a picture and show him what I want. He was against prediction photographs because he didn't want to give me expectations and hopes for something that might not turn out that exact way. Not only is he an expert, but he is above all an artist. Our individual faces are his canvas. An artist cannot draw two identical paintings. He cannot design a nose and try to plug it into everyones face. A nose might look one way on one person but a different way on another. What he does is he looks at the geometry of every face and individually tailors and personally customizes a nose that will match the person's face and will enhance and improve the aesthetic balance of their beauty, while also taking into consideration the preferences an desires of his patients. What I love about his office is that his surgery center where he operates is located inside his office. So it is super convenient. Days before the operation, they gave me a list of things to buy and start taking to prevent bruising. And also, instructions on how to take care of the nose after the operation. These are magical and golden rules and instructions because believe me or don't believe me, but I DID NOT bruise at all, I DID NOT have the usual major swelling that most people have. I am aware that it depends on the persons' body, but those steps and instructions are extremely effective. Normally, a nose is swollen, tight, and lifted for about 6 months to a year and after that, It finally takes on its final and perfect shape and look. So you need to be very patient. But in my case, already after 1-2 months, everywhere I would go, at the bank, at work, or at different events and parties, EVERYBODY would approach me and compliment my nose, they were mesmerized by it, some knew it was a nose job (not because it looked fake and done, but because of our Armenian culture/stereotype...we are known to have imperfect large noes so a perfect nose = nose job), the majority of other people couldn't even tell that I got it done because of how natural it looked. I had to tell them myself that I got it done. Then they would ask me when I got the nose job and I would tell them only a couple months ago, they didn't believe me. That is how GOOD and HEALED it already looked so early. It has been slightly over 2 years since I got my nose job. God is my witness...let me not lie when I tell you that in the past two years, about 40-50 people complimented my nose and begged me to give them my doctor's information which I obviously did. To this day it happens and I'm sure it will continue happening. I love my reflection. My new nose made me love and respect myself. It gave me an EXTREME AND MAJOR CONFIDENCE BOOST. I finally feel like my cute, small, beautiful nose is reflecting how I feel inside and matches me and my personality. It destroyed all my insecurities. It made me feel free and unstoppable. It gave me wings to fly. Thank you, Dr. Martin Stepanyan and thank your team as well. God bless your golden hands, precise eyes, and outstanding taste for beauty.

    The best doctor!! He is very detail oriented, has a good eye and will exceed your expectations!!! Highly recommended. Best decision I made as far as choosing a doctor. He will take the time to follow up and call to check on you which is very thoughtful. That is a doctor who cares about the quality of their work.

    Profile pics 6 months post-op. Don't really have old pictures in this angle but love how it is now

    My experience with Dr. Stepanyan and his staff has been nothing but excellent. I had my rhinoplasty done in July and now 6 months later I am very satisfied with the results! Dr. Stepanyan did everything I had wanted and he made me feel comfortable with asking questions and he always had an answer for any concerns I may have had. His staff is equally just has helpful starting with the girls at the front desk to all the nurses. They truly make the experience easy and comfortable. The day of the surgery the nurses and the receptionist helped me to not feel nervous at all. They started icing me once my surgery was over (my bruising was very little after). They even called a few hours after I had gone home to ask how I was feeling and if we had any questions about the recovery. Check ups after went smoothly and they are easy to work with when scheduling your next appointments. Dr. Stepanyan is a great Doctor, he explains everything to you from the very beginning and his goal is to make you happy and get what you want. I always recommend him to anyone I know who is searching for a rhinoplasty Doctor. I even sent my best friend to him, she is currently 5 months post-op and happy with her results as well. I'm writing this because I myself even found him on Yelp and am extremely happy that I chose him to do my procedure.

The surgical center he works with was amazing. Its a major hospital affiliated surgical center in Glendale. Not some building floor with surgical equipment. Overall process was great. I was walking the next day. Now about the doctor. I am very pleased with the results. He is the type of a doctor, that doesn't like to push the envelope. Always educates you, what is dangerous, what is allowed to do. As a person with no medical background, we don't know, what is safe, what is yellow line and what is red line. He gives you natural results. If you looking for a doctor, to give you natural look, and perform your surgery with safe medical standards he is the one to choose. For example, during my consult he told me that he will not do "to the bone" lipo. Some fat must be left for protection. I know some doctors will do it, because that is the best results right and the patient is asking for it? Take as much fat as possible approach. But is it safe for your body? Is is medically accepted practice. Those are the questions I asked myself, and did a lot of research, when I chose to take the route of liposuction surgery. For me Safety is first during surgery, my health afterwards is second. Then followed by results and outcome. I also took into consideration his more than 30 years experience in plastic surgery. Hope this was helpful for someone who is in search of good plastic surgeon.
