Absolutely amazing. I had upper and lower blephoroplasty and it turned out fantastic. Botox and fillers are great too.

I got masseter botox by Dr Hess and it was the best experience I could have asked for…read more I've had bad experiences before at other med spas, but Dr Hess and his staff made me feel completely at ease. So I can say from experience, that the quality of the injector makes a huge difference. You definitely get what you pay for. Having a wide face has always been a complex of mine, and the masseter botox made my face slimmer, more proportional, and just snatched my face. I wanted results that are noticeable, but natural and that's exactly what I got. I highly recommend Dr Hess and his clinic, and I would never trust any one else with my face again.

A year ago I got sub fascial breast implants with Dr. Hess. His bedside manner is not only…read morespectacular but I feel genuine empathy and care from him. He was very down to earth and knowledgeable, took his time answering my questions and made sure we were going with the right surgical choices. As soon as I had the consultation I knew he was the right surgeon for me. Since having my procedure I have been very pleased with the symmetry of my breasts and overall appearance. I'm able to do all of my upper body exercises and my new breasts suit my frame very well. He was able to go off my inspiration photos and created a very similar result. Dr. Hess is not only a surgeon but an artist of his craft- he pays close attention to detail and is a perfectionist. His standard of care is unparalleled. I couldn't have asked for a better final result and a year later everything is going smoothly. I did miss my last follow up with him but I hope this review serves as a statement of confidence and satisfaction from a happy patient. For future surgical procedures I would feel very safe in his hands.

I've been meaning to write a review for quite a while now, so here it is! Long story short, I…read morealways knew I would get a breast augmentation after graduating college. I have a curvy, athletic body, however, my breasts never matched the rest of my figure, as they were pretty much nonexistent. I had my first consolation with Dr. Kearney in 2017, and I knew right away that he would be my doctor (I had gone to 4 other consultations before him!). The consolation was very numbers focused (in regards to measurements and size), straight forward, and no-bullshit. He was honest about which sizes looked best, which type of implant would suit my body better, and overall made me feel confident in his abilities as a surgeon due to his honesty and education. His staff is AMAZING and Dr Kearney himself is extremely honest, blunt, and straight forward, which was exactly what I needed. He has this unique sense of humor that makes you feel at ease and provides that bedside manner that all patients are looking for. I scheduled my surgery shortly after my consultation. Dr Kearney was on time, polite, and reassuring with me come surgery day, making me feel comfortable and confident in my decision with him. I had decided to get 325cc implants, which I was hesitant about as I had a gut feeling that I wanted to go bigger. Fast forward to six months after my surgery (everything went well and I was healing great), I decided that I did in fact was to be larger, so I called Dr Kearney's office and scheduled another consultation for second surgery. Dr. Kearney was great and very understanding with my decision. We scheduled another surgery soon after, and agreed on 450cc's. This surgery went amazing again, and I was SO happy with the final result. He did a phenomenal job both times and was so easy to love during the process. I appreciate his honesty, confidence, and ability to make his patients feel comfortable in their decision. My advice, choose Dr. Kearney for your breast augmentation! AND, go a bit bigger than you think. You won't regret.

I went in for a consultation last week and left feeling very uncomfortable. From the start, before…read morethe consultation even began, I was asked to take photos for a simulation without being properly asked or informed, which I declined. 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.

I'm a very active person and feel good about my body with the exception of these arms. I decided why be insecure if I have the money to change it. 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!

From the very first consultation, Dr. Souza made me feel comfortable, cared for, and confident that I was in the right hands. From start to finish, he exceeded every expectation I had.

On top of that, he also does incredible Botox and fillers--natural, refreshed, and always done with precision. If you are looking for a surgeon who is talented, honest, and truly cares about his patients, Dr. Souza is the one. Highly recommend!

Dr Karam will provide you with all the information and supplements that you need to make the procedure and the recovery time as comfortable as possible.

STAY AWAY from this man! I too do not like leaving negative reviews however if I can save one…read moreperson from going through what I did it will all be worth it. the scars are hideous.. unprofessional and unnecessary, just sloppy. 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.
