From the reviews

Highly Recommend Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian I had a complication after a blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) performed elsewhere — the incision unexpectedly opened, and I was extremely anxious. Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian was truly amazing.

★★★★★ — Lissette, Jun 2025

I have been coming to Dr. Karamanoukian on and off for the past 2 years for help with dissolving old fillers in my face that were making me look feminine and bloated. I went to many other doctors that overcharged me and continued to gaslight me throughout the dissolving process when I wasn't seeing results. Dr.

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.
