Vertical Restore Deep-Plane Facelift

Dr. Karam's proprietary Vertical Restore is a deep-plane facelift that repositions the SMAS and underlying facial fat pads using a vertical lifting vector rather than a horizontal pull. It simultaneously addresses sagging cheeks, drooping brows, jowling, neck laxity, and lip elongation in a single operation performed under local anaesthesia with IV sedation. Recovery is approximately two weeks; travelling patients are advised to plan a 10–14 day post-operative stay in San Diego. Results are designed to remain stable for 10–15 years.

Upper & Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

Dr. Karam performs more than 350 eyelid procedures annually at his San Diego practice. Upper blepharoplasty removes excess hooding skin conservatively while preserving muscle and fat for a natural, rested result. Lower blepharoplasty addresses under-eye bags, hollowing, and loose skin using skin pinch, transconjunctival, or fat transfer techniques. Both procedures are performed under local anaesthesia with IV sedation with one to two weeks of recovery. Upper eyelid results last 10 or more years.

Lip Lift

The lip lift at Amir Karam MD shortens a lengthened philtrum and restores upper lip proportion using a subnasal incision technique. A precise strip of skin is removed just beneath the nose, elevating the red lip border and improving the philtrum-to-lip ratio. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with IV sedation with one to two weeks of recovery. It is suited to patients whose upper lip has elongated with age or whose cupid's bow has receded.

Facial Fat Transfer

Dr. Karam's facial fat transfer uses the patient's own harvested fat to restore lost volume in the temples, midface, and lips. The autologous approach avoids synthetic fillers and provides longer-lasting volume restoration. It is most commonly combined with Vertical Restore to address volume loss and structural descent together in a single operative session. Standalone pricing is $40,000.
