From the reviews

I cannot recommend Dr K & his clinic enough. My 15 yr old daughter had an accident requiring 16 stitches on her forehead & eyelid. It was a jagged cut & I knew a plastic surgeon was the wisest decision. Dr K’s office got us in quickly & have been truly incredible.

★★★★★ — Hope, Jun 2024

Where do I start off about Dr K and his staff. For two years, I’ve researched for a “Good” Skin Professional. Someone that I felt that wasn’t just successful in their career but also cared about his patients. WOW! Dr. K handles with extreme care and educates you on every interest you have or service you’d like done.

★★★★★ — Carrianna, Aug 2024

Dr. Raffy is simply amazing. On top of being a fantastic surgeon, his knowledge, honesty and generosity have been unlike anything we’ve come across. We went to him after my six year old daughter suffered a dog bite across her nose and were referred to him by numerous people in our social network.

★★★★★ — Rob, Feb 2025

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Kare and his team. I went in for Botox and nose filler, and the results exceeded my expectations. My Botox came out even better than I imagined — everything looks smooth, natural, and very balanced.

Researching a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.

Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
