I'm responding to your video over 50 don't ruin your face I do agree that after a certain age or a certain development of Aging only surgery will give people the results they desire however in the beginning of your video you showed pictures of Christie Brinkley and Nicole Kidman and you mentioned how fillers and Botox don't look good on older women however once a woman has had a good facelift I'm 78 and have had one at 47,a 2nd one at 65 and a 3rd at 75 and since I am very rejuvenated fillers and Botox do look good on me so I think you neglected to say that once a woman's face is restored to youthfulness with surgery then Botox and fillers can look good on her at almost any age especially if she's looking in her 30s or 40s
100% agree that full face rejuvenation at this age is the way to go, but in the US, it's so expensive, and it's possible to delay aging and reverse a LOT just through Microneedling. No procedure that I have done in my life was as helpful as the high-quality derma pen I got for around 100$.
Yeah sure, during the years I have tried almost everything to look younger + delay aging as much as possible, anything from face exercises, vitamin C serum, Fraxel, collagen supplements and of course Retin A (7 years straight), home devices and what not. I swear, Nothing made any real difference compared to microneedling. Within 3 months of use, my skin has improved DRAMATICALLY. I don't look like I'm 20's again, but definitely not 44 either. My fine lines have disappeared completely, and my nasolabial folds are way less are nonexist (never had jowls though). People often underestimate the power of wounding and the revolutionary effects it can have on the skin
I agree about full face rejuvenation... But not everyone has $100K+ to spend. What can be done for those of us who have a limited budget, but still want to look more youthful??
I am a former massage therapist and I went to my clients homes, they were allvery wealthy and had many face lifts starting in their 40's. No matter what people still know a person's age. The best thing I found is healthy foods, don't drink a lot of alcohol, stay active, moisturize, and do facial exercises they work. I also massage my face and drain lymph so it gets rid of puffy eyes and saggy jowls. Be your age and be proud of it!
Michelle Collins facial yoga expert on u tube too I have her book and I am 61 people say I look mid to early 40s ..and I feel it too ..no surgery anything yet ...
At 54 yrs old I’ve taken a very holistic approach. After playing with the thought of fillers and deciding against it, I’ve been doing osteopathic massage with incredible results. Consistency is a MUST and you will see results. It won’t give you the look of a tight “facelift” but it will give you a natural, youthful look along with proper skincare and adequate hydration. The key is to age beautifully as well as gracefully. Who wants to look 20 with a 60 year old body anyway? Aging is inevitable ladies. Love yourself naturally❤
Great, I agreed. I ll look for those massages. There is also a Face Yoga . I have heard great things about it. And beauty is everywhere and every time. ❤
I'm 57 and in my 2nd year of menopause and have noticed changes in my body even though I am in pretty good shape. I have noticed jowels and a heaviness on my eyes etc. As I see women my age getting these procedures done I have been tempted to get a little this or that. One thing that is very noticeable is that when I smile in pictures I look way younger and that is the the answer, for me anyways. I am getting older and will continue to try and stay positive and smile more. Putting stuff into my face makes me nervous , so for now I will just try and smile more 😊
Today is my 61st birthday. My hair is quickly turning white. My throat has two tiny longitudinal sags from chin to collar bone that I only see in pictures. I'm okay with it. I was close to all 4 grandparents. Their white hair and wrinkles were beautiful. So are mine.
Thank you so much for the advice, I will save a ton of money and protect my face from getting worse. Turning 54 and I think I will stick to eating right, exercise and a smart skin care routine plus never go a day without sunscreen. Cheers to growing wiser beautifully ladies 😊
@AHK99. Do you have any advice or hope for those who can't afford you or the vertical lift? I.e.payment plan, etc. Or is your message, essentially if you're over 50 and not rich, it's all over for us in the looks dept. and to just accept it? While I appreciate your message re don't waste your money on botox and fillers, how about hope on payment options or how one might be able to afford it. I.e. 1 yr /3 yr/ 5 yr / plan or something to at least give us some offer of hope. Or show us how the money wasted on fillers, in addition to x amt. Could equate to vertical lift cost almost. I'm 51 and have only had botox, fillers twice in 2 years. I can't afford vertical lift yet, but I also want to be able to have a professional career without ageism and continue to look like myself. Message of possibility if any would be appreciated
@@brandwithani My plan: sleep, meticulous skincare, balanced diet, low impact exercise… and play the lottery so that maybe one day I can afford the vertical restore in 25 years 😂 It’s Dr. Karam’s or no face lift for me…
Why isn’t anyone commenting on accepting aging or the emotional and mental suffering imposed on women by our culture’s obsession with youth and beauty? I’m 59. I’d rather spend my money enjoying life. Id rather spend my time meditating on self love. The time, energy, and money spent and the pain endured, especially by women, makes me so sad. I wish you all happiness and full hearts wrinkles and all. You don’t need to look youthful to be (and look) joyful. ❤️
Good for you. However, you can't force your feelings and beliefs on others. Just let women do what makes them happy. What works for you won't work for everyone. Hope this helps!
you don't need to, but if you want to, why not. nobody is telling you to get work done, but you feel the need to lecture others. you do you and move on.
People lie to themselves. We are all aging fact. The sad thing it becomes an addiction. And what happens with your 20 year old face and 80 year old body. Mmmmmmmm
Because this is directed to people that would like this kind of treatment. If you are so fond of natural aging why are you watching this to begin with.
I liked how I looked until I was about 47. I’m 52 now. My neck drives me crazy. Would love to have a facelift but gotta win the lotto first. Such good information here. As a single parent, I can’t afford any of this stuff, even Botox but I guess now I don’t feel so bad. Thank you!
Single parent, too. Facelift yoga is very effective for jowls specifically. So is facial acupressure. Jowls are easier to fix. The electronic devices also that he says don't use on the face (and is correct) can and probably should be used on the jowls...like red light therapy. The reason not to on the face is we lose valuable facial fat that holds things in place. But the jowls are different...they are excess that stuff. The exercises (free on RU-vid ) plus acupressure ($19 course I got for facial acupressure) plus a red light/heat device for jowls (100$) is a potent trifecta. However, you probably don't need all three. Start with one.
This is literally across-the-board. The best video I have ever seen on RU-vid! So full of information so clear so concise I can’t say enough good things about this video. Thank you so so so so so much.
Dr. I thank you for providing such thorough and accurate information. I am 55 years old and for years I went on the search for a surgeon to do my facelift. My options narrowed down to two ..you and another surgeon in my city. My hubby and I opted for our local surgeon for obvious reasons -aside from the fact that he’s an excellent surgeon that also specializes in face surgery. I had my surgery 14 weeks ago and I am beyond happy with my results. He did exactly what you mentioned. My point is that you are 💯CORRECT and on point with all the information that you provide and your approach to facial rejuvenation.👌🏼 Thank you for sharing your expertise. 🥰 Your work is exquisite.
Great advice. I'm 65. Just had (today!) a tweaking procedure of my upper Blepharoplasty, lower Blepharoplasty, brow lift. The procedure was just in my upper lids. More skin needed to be removed. So...9 months ago, I opted for ONLY the upper and lower Blepharoplasty and forehead. No facelift, neck, fat transfer, etc. these are all major procedures absolutely is a great idea to do it all at once. However, I did not want to be anesthetized for all of those hours. I'm grateful I did not do it because just the forehead and eyelids plus I had a ptosis repair in my eyelids, which is the muscle that not everybody needs correcting. I did need it. Seems to be some genetic thing in my family. Plus, I cannot afford to do all of that. And my face does not look funny. My eyelids were quite droopy, and it was affecting my vision, so there were other reasons for doing it. I just don't want women to feel like they have to do the entire thing although of course, it makes sense. I wouldn't just do my neck and not do the facelift.
Im 65 and have never done anything to my face. Now is the time, and i have made the decision to go have the procedures mentioned in this video. This and other videos from Dr Karam has given me great insight on how to move forward with my own surgeon in SA Also advising the do's and dont's which i greatly appreciate. I thank him for the time taken.
I'm 69 years YOUNG. That means that I value my beauty; natural beauty. I never had botox or fillers. About year ago I had a facelift and I'm VERY pleased with the results this is why I know this surgeon is honest and very professional and I highly appreciate his recommendations. I just wish he was in my area.
I have stayed out of the sun all of my life. I am 70 no wrinkles, don't put sunscreen on every day either. Lifestyle is key, don't drink, don't smoke avoid the sun will put sunscreen on in the summer, but I live in Canada.
@@northofyou33 if your knees or heart bother you, you have no problem wanting surgery. Or you can just die from heart failure or be in a wheel chair because your knees aren't working. Same principal different parts.
Yes, taking care of skin, I am 62, and my husband actually commented that my complexion looks very youthful! Surgery isn’t for me, will continue to control what I can with diet, exercise and taking care of my skin.
Well thats your journey and good for you, but its not right for everyone. If you are so happy with your appearance, then why are you watching videos like this?
The doctor is correct! 18 months ago a had the full Monty. Brow, face and neck lift (upper bleth 10 yrs ago). That’s the only real solution to get a lasting youthful rejuvenation.
Oh well what's the point in watching any more of his videos if the over 50s only way to look younger is a face lift. I will just keep microneedling, chemical peel and skincare. There is no way that most of his followers can afford a face lift. I have enjoyed his videos but for me now I'm going to stick with Dr Rajani he is very very helpful for the older person 👌❤️
@@paulinemclean375 The average cost of a facelift in the United States is $8,005 according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, but can be much higher than this … May 29, 2023
Thanks ! the video came at exactly the right time for me. I'm 60 and have been thinking about non-surgical treatments for a while. everything you say makes sense. Since I consider a full face lift to be too much trauma for my body, I will now get used to my natural aging process 😉
What I find shocking is that women in their 20s and 30s are having so much work done they look ridiculous with fillers. I was looking for a video and was hoping to find tips for skin treatments but I’m glad I found this. No I don’t want a list of procedures.
At 67 I am stil working and feeling healthy though sometime feel lousy because of age, human cannot escape these makes yourself busy and useful you will feel being rejuvenated.⚘😍
I cannot tell you how much I love your videos. I’m in my early 40s and I feel like I have learned so much about what and what not to do as I go forward. You just seem so honest and trustworthy. It’s really appreciated 🙏🏻❤
Centrato in pieno è ovvio che dato i prezzi chi non può ricorre ad alternative comunque strada si percorri ad un certo punto devi smettere per non diventare ridicola trovo molto utile la ginnastica facciale ma essere realista e accettare la realtà è la cosa migliore per non deprimersi ❤😂😂🎉
@@nothingworksworks3511 It's a tradeoff. More efficient to recover from multiple things at once but could be more painful. As long as they're willing to give you good pain control, it might be worth it to get it over with.
I am 53 and I've never done any cosmetic procedure even people think I am in my early 40s, I was thinking of doing something cosmetic procedure but after this video, I'm not gonna do anything thank you for your advice after 50 years. Be peaceful, take care of your daily habits, sleep well, don't drink, do no drugs, moisturize, take sun properly, hydrate, and be your age, Be happy yourself!
I 100% agree with what you are saying - I’m a 55 year old female - I’m completely sold and contacted your practice very excited thinking I can look 10 years younger however 100k is way over my budget. So it seems only the people who have 100k spare can afford the vertical restore. As a single mum of 3 children it’s difficult for me to have that surplus cash. Your videos and knowledge are amazing and confirm to me that I only want to have you Dr Karam and do not want to go anywhere else for this type of surgery. What can the 90% of your viewers do to look like the people who can afford your procedure ? Surely you have packages or some type of plan for the rest of us. You mentioned you average 20-30 patients per month and if we average this out over 12 months this equals approximately 30 million per year in vertical restore sales which is incredible and you deserve very penny for the happiness you make to peoples lives. I want to feel this too and look 10 yeas younger 😃 thank you 🙏 you have done an amazing job and we are all convinced you are the best so now what do we do??? Thanks you Ellen, Manchester, England
I agree I really want to do something but $100000. Look at all those 0000's. I have too many other things that I need to use that kind of money for . So please what can someone that maybe could do $10000 + $30000?? I patiently await a response
100k!!! Really? It is barely possibly for people to save 10k because of the cost of living. 100k would never be feasible, for the majority of people I'm sure.
I've had a few procedures over the years and they have stood me in good stead. Now, I don't mind my wrinkles or my sagging skin, I still look good and I will be 90 next birthday and I love my life. Greetings from the sunny Costa Blanca Spain. ❤❤❤
Just turned 50 and diagnosed with estrogen positive breast cancer last year... Unfortunately needed chemotherapy and taxol. I now feel like my face is aging so fast from being forced into menopause 5 yrs earlier than I would have otherwise. My mom had her last cycle at 56. I'm definitely wanting your help... It's been a tough year and I really just want to see myself in the mirror again🥺
I’m so sorry honey that Hrt is very dangerous. I hope you get through it quickly. He should help women and do your case at no cost. Give back what god has blessed him with.
Thank you Your so kind ❤️ & you are right there should be some help for women whom have gone through this traumatic disease & left with all the damage It’s cruel & robs you of so Much more than just breasts 🙏🏻❤️
Appreciate the instructions. As a 76 year old, retired RN I have always wondered about the long-term results vs. benefits of "partial technics ". Thank you, for being honorable with Ethics. Blessings, and prayers. Continue to help men and women. Teach you Innervative techniques to worthy "Fellows ".
Scarlett RF was AWESOME for me. I started to notice a bit of Jowls and first treatment was AmAZING ! I paid for 3 at my hair salon that have a med spa. I felt no pain after the numbing. Just a bit of heat in the more sensitive area by my mouth but really no big deal. I experienced tightening. I was very pleased.
I’m 55 & get Scarlet RF 3 times a year. It has changed my face for the better. No fat loss for me and I’m a fairly thin person. A nurse does my treatments & she doesn’t go deep. I also use an LED mask daily & love it.
This is 💯true. I'm 55, and I was not ready for what happened to my neck when I hit menopause! I wish women were more prepared for how it affects every system in the body!
Hi there. I'm 58 and discussed getting filler and botox with my 33 year old daughter yesterday. She loves these treatments and she always looks great. I was tempted to try it in an attempt to look younger too. I am so grateful for your video, as everything you have said makes complete sense to my logical mind. A big thank you from Swansea, UK. The city by the sea 😊
I’m 49 and see the aging process progressing faster now (jaw&neck). I was very lucky so far and only had botox every now and then. THANK YOU so much for this honest analysis. I’m gonna safe the money for a real lift!
Get on bioidentical hormones as soon as you go through menopause, I did and I noticed the difference right away. I hit menopause like I ran into a wall. Sudden hot flashes, memory fog, lack of energy, and I noticed my lips thinning out and a change to my skin. After 2 weeks of being on the hormones my lips plumped back up and my skin looked noticeably better. If menopause is the cause of a sagging face that should be the first place you start.
@@alejandragarza2670I was never asked about the cancer risks when I went on them. Personally, I don't care, the symptoms I had with menopause were so debilitating I'd rather take that risk.
Plant based ones work..I'm vegan so I have a phyto oestrogen rich diet and i supplemented with wild yam, red clover, black cohosh etc.. face yoga everyday twice a day for a minimum of 15mins each time and washing cleansing and moisturisation. Rehydrate and just relax intl being the beautiful you you're supposed to be. ❤
There is absolutely no reason why plant based identical cannot be taken even with a history of cancer.. the thing cancer loves most is processed Sugar and Dairy.. neither of which are found in plants..your Dr knows nothing about bioidentical options so steer you away from.them. my sister in law had uterine cancer and a Dr luckily that did know and put her on them and she thrived. Your Dr's don't always know what's right .. they're paid to push drugs for Big P.
You are very well placed. The truth is that i had some problems, but with your advice, since I have been treating my face properly, the problem has been significanty reduced. You save me. I am 54 and look 40.For now i dont need surgery. Thank you very much. 😊😊😊😊😊
I’m 59. What he says about menopause is spot on. I’ve always looked extremely young. As a teenager, people thought I was under 10! Painful as a child but FANTASTIC as an adult. YET…. Menopause has come..thankfully, I’m happy & mature enough to see the beauty in women who do a little but not too much, or none at all…. I look in the mirror or see pictures & don’t even recognize myself🤣 The vertical restore would be great but how long before you again look exactly your true age again??
I am almost 53 and NO WORK DONE. I work in skincare and cosmetics as well. I tell my Customers it's all about SUNSCREEN, RETINOL, (at night, just a few days a week) Vitamin C, Collegen in your coffee protein drink each morning and DRINK WATER ALL DAY! I have almost NO WRINKLES and people almost PASS OUT when I tell them my age, ( which doesn't bother me a BIT). Women need to STOP APOLOGIZING FOR NATURE. Men don't APOLOGIZE, WHY SHOULD WE???? 😉😁🙃🙂😉
I am 68. I accidentally used the retinol cream I bought at Costco. I have used it for nearly 20 years, and it stopped for about five years. Now, I was back on Retinol about six months ago. People thought I was in my 40s to 50s, and I am very proud because I know hard work did pay off
@@chem3066 so you mean lasers can sort of thicken or strengthen the neck skin or what areas and in what sense is it able to help? I’m a complete novice. Thanks
I got PDO threads and they gave me puffy jowls that hang below my jawline lopsided! Didn't have that before! Made me look like a grandma! Aged me by 20 years, don't do it!!!!!
Agree with you so much. Vertical restore seems to be the solution after 50 years. But you know, it's not all the ladies who can afford this surgery. If plastic surgeons can adjust their prices, you are going to have much a lots of requests for this. But now, if all these people are close of their retirement they have to think wisely of their finances. At more then sixty years old, you should propose something for this specific clients. It can be interesting.
@@mauramcloughlin4575Usually the doctor has a plan whereby it’s a payment plan with zero interest if each payment is in time. And then an interest rate is charged if you’re late.
Would you walk into Tiffany’s and demand/ask for Zale’s pricing? Very few people can afford to purchase everything/anything they desire. That means we simply don’t purchase those things - it doesn’t mean pricing for those products and services should be reduced.
This procedure is my dream. When I look in the mirror I am disgusted at my melting face, makeup looks awful on me as it just enhances the wrinkles and gaunt look I now have. It would be so nice to feel normal again. Great work Doctor..
The truth is if youre 50, you will not look 20 ever again. And thats ok. If you choose to get cosmetic procedures manage your expectations. Less is better. Most importantly, nourish yout mind body and soul. Be happy.
I live in NY and am retiring from 30 years of teaching in June 2025. Been saving my money to fly out to San Diego for the “deluxe package”. I watch your videos and have learned so much. Most importantly, I am confident that you are the right doctor to help me look like the person I feel like 👱🏼♀️ Thank you for taking time to make these helpful videos.
I am sixty and I look great. Letting my natural grays come out. I workout and always have since age 25. I’ve never smoked, drank, done drugs or partied. I eat pretty healthy. People tell me I look younger. I don’t really care anymore. I’ve embraced who I am and I am happy to be aging. Here’s a tip…FAST. I do often and did a four day fast. Read up about it. On the fourth day, there’s hormone growth recovery. Fifth day, cell rejuvenation. Start fasting. Drink water. Exercise. Eat healthy foods with omega 3 oils. Sleep. Don’t stress about life. Enjoy the outdoors. I truly believe fasting is where it’s at.
Th best thing I have found that helps my 56 year old skin is when I started drinking lots of water and incorporating fresh spinach and kale in my morning and evening smoothies along with morninga powder, sea kelp powder and turmeric. I had a complete hysterectomy in my late 40’s so I really had to up my skincare routine with good products and CONSISTENCY in cleaning my skin 2 times a day, especially at bedtime!
Yeah, I hear you. I'm 60, the drooping started abut a year ago. I guess I was lucky too, good genes. But once it starts, there's no stopping, unfortunately
Tape it - I use any 'male gay' technique I can find - just not as over-the-top as gay performers do! I think it's sort of fun to use little things like that - it seems to work and if I have fun with it, then I think it's ok! Judge not, lest you be judged. (Wow, I did learn something in that fundamentalist church I grew up in the South!
Thank you for being so honest. I admire you for your courage and admitting your mistakes. Sounds that you genuinely care about your patients and want to give them the best service possible.
Wow! Love this video!!! Dr.Karam addressed so many topics. Knowledge is power! He takes so much time and effort to make us aware of many pitfalls that come with cosmetic proedures. I honestly love listening to him because I learn so much. I definitely think he has to be an all around incredible caring person and surgeon. I can hear his love of asthetics and appreciate the time and effort he puts into his RU-vid channel to educate us. ❤ Thank you Dr. Karam.
I can't thank you enough for the in-depth details you always give. I wish I could afford to have you do a vertical restore on me but unfortunately I don't know if that would ever happen unless I hit the lottery, lol. I guess I am going to have to continue doing my skin care and hope for the best. Although, the minute I hit the lottery you will be one of the 1st 7 people I call. 🙏🏼💕
Thank you for your honesty. The best information as I’ve just hit 50 and my neck is the first place that is showing aging, now I understand the overall picture ❤
I have a little micro-current gua sha ($35) and it really did favors to my skin. Best results when you use it daily, but I just add the 5 minutes it takes to my morning routine (I use it with serum)
Ich bin 58, noch nie Filler o.ä Botox o.ä genutzt. Mein Gesicht mit Fruchtsäuren und guter Kosmetik jung gehalten. Habe kaum Falten, werde nie über 42 geschätzt😊
I also got amazing results from PDO threads. I want to try them in my forehead to see what results it brings and then maybe I can reduce the amount of botox. But I live in NZ and I cant find any clinic that thinks it can be done in the forehead.
My dermatologist has definitely adjusted (lowered) my Botox over the years. Im almost 60. I was disappointed at first because it doesn’t seem to last as long or to provide as much softening.… now I realize more isn’t better. I had fillers placed over the years; but agin my derm was very very conservative (subtle) with filler placement and tiny amts over several treatments, over time. I feel fortunate to have found a provider with a good eye for aesthetics. Yep, threads were painful and not worth it (different provider) … my one big regret as well as filler in NLF (also not above provider) Bottom line find a provider you trust that understands faces over 50. 😊
Truth. Menopause at 50 and my face looked measurably worse. Early to mid 60s a really big dive. Never smoked, don't drink, normal weight my whole life, less sun than most. Only have wrinkles around my eyes, but the jowls 😢
This video was so informative I can totally relate to everything you have said. I am 60 years old and yes fillers and Botox do not work like they used to. My eyes are my problem with puffiness I think caused by filler. I now have facial treatments like HIFU, cold plasma but still doesn’t make me feel any better in fact I feel like I look worse 😢. I wished I could afford a face lift but also finding a surgeon is very difficult one you can trust. Thank you so much Dr Karam very informative .
There is only one you dr Karam, I did not have to do any research and compare because I knew this from the very first time I listened to your explanations. This is so informative and validating.
The correct diet, correct supplements, facial treatments early ideal to start in the 30s, Love M-8 and keeping up with daily facial exercises, makes a world of difference for aging. Face lifts are great but time consuming and MUST continue to be followed with facial treatments because after 50 the face will continue to age AFTER the wonderful face lift.
Thank you for being truthful. I just had my neck, jowls, and upper eyes done. Recovering nicely. My husband claims he doesn’t see any big improvement. I told him that he isn’t supposed to. I see it
So basically I should have been getting all these face treatments when my skin was already young, smooth and taut and now that I’m in my 50’s it’s surgery or nothing!? Guess I’m joining the GOG (grow old gracefully) Club 😄
Haha strange isn’t it? To each his ow, but I am amazed to see how many people get a facelift in their 40s, that seems too young. I’ve been enjoying these videos lately because they actually encourage me to age gracefully. It’s sad to see women willing to go broke just to look younger, and in Hollywood’s case, to look like the Joker.
Microneedling is great for keeping the skin from thinning and sagging. I started doing it at the age of 40, I'm 54 this year and I don't think I look that bad for my age. I also do tca chemical peels. I do all of this during the Autumn and winter months.
What tools for micro needling do you use? N the serums too? I’ve wanted to try this, but really didn’t know what technic works best, I’ve seen so many n just didn’t know 🤷🏻♀️ thank you so much for info n GOD Bless My Friend!!!
@@missyvinson9469 I use Dr pen ULTIMA-A6. I use 100% hyaluronic gel for glide. Wash and dry your face then use 75% isopropyl alcohol wipes to sterilize your skin, apply gel to your face and start microneedling. You will need to numb if your going to go deep. I sterilize my tools with 99.9 isopropyl alcohol.
This actually makes alot of sense. And new info out on filler and cancer.. lymph nodes are affected and cant do their job is what ive read. Thats bad. I am done with filler. Going to age gracefully.
The Filler and cancer risk is a sensational tweak on the data. The most risky area to effect the lymph is probably under the eye. Swelling would be you biggest issue. This will not cause cancer. That is a ludicrous claim. I keep seeing it posted and hate that it may scare women who have filler already. Filler is a great tool to replace volume that we lose with age.
Filler doesnt give you cancer but having your lymph disrupted or blocked can lead to various troubles. Ive had filler in the past. It'll be Sculptra for me next time..
Real prices.. Vertical restore 85k Fat transfer 40k, very expensive.. hopefully other great Drs put some healthy competition in this market so in a few year's this will be in line with breast implant cost.✨️
Greed. Those prices are indefensible. But it appears there are people able and willing to pay those exorbitant fees, and surgeons can maintain their lifestyles while working on far fewer patients…
Doctors in NY & CA are twice if not more expensive than Chicago or your local surgeons Do your research on the Doctor and their reviews and see if they have any lawsuits against them too. Decide wisely. If you opt for out then f town surgeons know that they have accommodations for your recovery before they release you. Which is fantastic.
I don't think it's fair to assume the prices are indefensible or based in greed. When you consider the rents or mortgages/property taxes of these surgeon's offices in areas like NYC and CA, the salaries of their staff in those areas, the cost of purchasing and maintaining their equipment, cost of utilities, the cost of advertising in these markets, the cost of paying down med school, the cost of ongoing training to keep on top of the latest techniques and, for innovative surgeons, the cost of developing those techniques, the cost of malpractice insurance - even for surgeons who've never once been sued - is astronomical, the costs of the anesthesiologist, the anesthesia, and the OR, which are all beyond the surgeon's control, not to mention compensating for the incredibly restrictive impacts of the SALT cap on these areas, while these price tags are also insanely prohibitive to me, I'm surprised the cost isn't higher. I know how much the bill was for my breast reduction YEARS ago, and that was only the cost AFTER insurance, since that procedure was medically necessary, not cosmetic. My surgeon had offices and hospital privileges in both Manhattan and North Jersey. I had the procedure in NJ, but had I had exactly the same procedure with the same surgeon less than 10 miles away in NYC, I know for a fact that my out of pocket cost would have more than doubled. You simply can't compare surgery costs in CA or NYC to ANYWHERE else in the country and judge them as indefensible for being significantly higher. Their business' operating costs are insanely higher, so naturally, that's reflected in the price tags for these procedures.
Even before he got to the vertical restore part i just knew he was going to say vertical restore is the only solution. lol i am sorry to say that these photos are not a good representation of before and after results. The after results are half achieved by someone fully awake, showered , hair done , make - up applied. apart from 2 ladies all the others just look like they had a good facial, had their hair and make up done and the photo turned out well. I am 54, i know what i am talking about. The only one thing i always agree with him is ,regular skin care routine plays a huge part in facial skin aging. I use Omilux Led Mask few times a week, vitamin C in the morning and or Niacinamide. I use very low strength Tretinoin 3 nights a week . I get amazing results, but you have to be consistent, i f i miss a week i feel like i have aged 8 years, so if you are time rich and money poor then do this, if you are time poor and money rich then go and see Dr, Karam .
@nabeilamehrban8412- Fully agree with your "before" "after" comment. NOT a huge difference except perhaps the last one. I am PETRIFIED about the PROCESS (never mind the cost which is another conversation on its own). I dont think I have the capacity to wake up & see my face disfigured. I am also afraid of not recognizing myself "after" all is settled. Doctors are also humans. What if (insert any possibility here) comes to my mind. I have done botox, stopped fillers (can't stand them now) and do my best with serums, etc. I dont think these pictures motivate me to do ANY Surgery.. they make me fee its not worth it !
I agree 1000% with everything you have said, and in fact do all of the things you mentioned. I would also add micro-needling every 3-4 weeks for face and neck using hyaluronic serum. Brilliant !!!
Oh my good! Thank you for taking your time to inform people i know all this went down that road very expensive for nothing i decided to opt for surgery the best decision have ever made wish they would be more surgeon like you !!
Wow! Dr. karam … I am in awe of your incredible & knowledgeable information … you have an amazingly superb & easy to understand manner with your explanations & expertise… I would love to have my cosmetic work procedures carried out by you … 😊
At 61 I only now believe I need a touchup, I used retinol for years and it did the work but no longer. But who can afford the surgery? It’s great to give all this info but the reality is there really is no help for most of us.
Born 1955, choose to look old, over looking Odd as some do with trying to stay young. Sagging is part of life. Unless I win 💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸 will age with Grace. 😊😊😊😊
I appreciate you for this honest. I don't have the money to do facial reguvination I am trying to save for that. I watched the one with the gal from Boise and I actually live 3 hours from her so it gives me some hope
Thanks for sharing! I am an esthetician and agree with all of this! When I tell my collegues the truth about microneedling with RF, I get that look like I don't know what I'm talking about. I will never offer microneedling with RF, I get great results on the skin with traditional microneedling.
Is this real life for some people? Like I am curious, I watched this video, but paying rent, affording co-pays, and making repairs on my vehicle is where my head is at. I’ll have to wear sunscreen, use my retinol, and pray.
$250k is crazy. I know Dr. Karam is good but enough already! I live in Palm Springs area and had: Vertical Restore, Bi lateral eye raise, ear lobe correction, bucal fat removal, top lip lift, CO2 face laser, my turkey neck gone, under eye fat transfer to fill in sunken under eyes. It also included 3, 2 hour sessions in oxygen tank for healing. I also received a complete skincare package. My doctor was Dr. Ritu Chopra. He video called me at home to check on me as well as saw me at least once per month for the first year. I paid $60k and I think he charges the highest in my area. However, he has an excellent reputation, awesome bedside manner, terrific staff. My procedure was in his office with Anastesia. Plus, I spent the first night in his office with a nurse by my side. I know this same procedure is not this expensive with other desert doctors. I’m glad I went to Dr. Chopra, great experience.
@@each1teach141Yeah, I was very interested in having him do mine but the price was far from obtainable. Plus if your out of the area (me in Colorado, you're required to stay in the area for a week or 2. Add round trip flight and now you're looking at another $5-10K.
Thank you SO much for this informative video, Dr Karam. I'm in my late 60's and due to high levels of stress/trauma sustained over many years post-menopause, my face has born the brunt of the ageing process. Although my skin is smooth and clear (I'm complimented by women all the time about it), my eyelids and lower face have sagged and instead of having a 2-week holiday somewhere exotic to celebrate my 70th birthday I'm going to have the facelift surgery that you describe here. Very grateful to you - I now know what to ask for.
I’m 54. Last fall, I had Botox for my 11’s and some in my forehead. What you described with the heavy feeling in my eyelids happened 100%! It was awful. I couldn’t wait for it to fade away. I am now hesitant to get botox again, but maybe I’ll just ask for nothing in my forehead (I only have mild lines…it’s my 11’a that are deep) Thanks for the info and the tip!
I’m 58 and I often have compliments that I look like I’m in my late 30s. I was contemplating getting that exact heating device procedure done! So glad that came across your very informative video. I’m just gonna do more facial exercises, my skin care and embrace my aging
No other injector would ever tell us all of this...respect.... I admire your work. To tell the truth I am 49 years old and never did antything to my face but practise a lot of FACE YOGA....and I must say I look better than my girlfriends the same age... please keep doing your work on YT... this helps a lot of people ‼‼❣❣greatings from POLAND
I see the benefits of this approach. and would do it if I had the means and time. However, the little tweaks I've done over 50 look natural and have helped me feel better about my appearance Thank you for sharing your expertise and knowledge. The before and after photos are just remarkable.
Hi Dr Karam. Watching your channel has really helped me make good choices. I'm really happy with how i look at age 60. I had a face lift but would love to get a fat transfer under my eyes. No filler here ❤
You are awsome ❤ I am 61, and this was very helpful. I follow an influencer who promotes these light devices of all sorts and I am glad I have a professional to shed light on these devices.
It all makes total sense. Especially the piecemealing. I'm so grateful to know that my main problem area (1 deep long line between my brows) can continue to be treated. I'm 51 & have only treated that 1 line. I'm a frowner & the relief I get physically & emotionally is wonderful ✨
Oh, my God! This doctor is amazing in the way he explains all these procedures! I would love to get my face lift done by him! He’s an expert definitely!
