Raffy Karamanoukian, MD FACS

Expert of Function & Aesthetics I cannot recommend Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian highly enough. As a naturally anxious person, I truly appreciate his ability to make me feel completely at ease. The supportive environment at Kare Plastic Surgery made my two recent procedures stress-free; Dr. Raffy and his staff went out of their way to ensure I felt safe and comfortable, making it an all-around great experience. The results of my June upper blepharoplasty have been life-changing. I’ve always had hooded eyes, but with age, the heaviness began to impede my vision and forced me to strain my forehead muscles, leading to debilitating migraines. Since the surgery, my quality of life has improved dramatically. The forehead strain is resolved, my headaches have vastly improved, and my field of vision is restored - and I look younger and refreshed. I am also just a few days post-op from chin liposuction, and I can already see a total transformation in my jawline contour. Beyond surgery, Dr. Raffy has treated my TMD with masseter Botox, restored my deflated, sad-looking earlobes with filler, and removed various skin lesions from my face and scalp. I was previously reluctant to have a large, raised mole removed from my upper lip, fearful of potential scarring. However, the result is aesthetically perfect. I am so confident in Dr. Raffy's work that I will happily return to him for a facelift in the future. I wouldn't trust my face to anyone else.

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. He saw me right away, handled the situation with care and confidence, and made the entire experience much less stressful. His expertise and professionalism were clear from the moment I walked in. Thanks to him, everything healed beautifully and I felt fully supported throughout the process. I highly recommend Dr. Karamanoukian to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate plastic surgeon. I’m so grateful for the care I received!

Dr. Raffy is the best scar guy I know. As of recently, I've been having a recurring issue with my keloid, and I've been going everywhere. Still, it keeps regrowing, but after going to Dr. Raffy and getting it removed, it finally stopped. Dr. Raffy is one of the most helpful doctors and people throughout my whole procedure. It's healed, and it hasn't grown back, and I’m getting ready very soon to get it pierced again. Thank you so much!

I recently completed my first CO2 laser resurfacing for stretch marks removal procedure on my breasts with Dr. Raffy, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. As someone who has struggled with fluctuating weight and the resulting stretch marks, I was looking for a solution that offered minimal downtime and no need for anesthesia. This procedure not only promises a quick recovery but also helps tighten the skin, providing a subtle lift at the same time. Dr. Raffy and the entire staff have been exceptional. They went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and well-informed about the entire process, from the procedure itself to the aftercare. It’s a vulnerable thing to go through, but their kindness and professionalism made all the difference. After just one session, I’m already seeing results and feeling more confident. I highly recommend Dr. Raffy for anyone considering this procedure. The care, expertise, and genuine support I received have been outstanding, and I’m looking forward to the next sessions!

I can’t say enough about Dr. Raffy and the incredible impact he has had on my scar—and my confidence. Nearly 10 years ago, I was left with a concave and poorly healed scar on my arm after a procedure by another doctor. I had lived with the discomfort and frustration of that scar for years, thinking there were no real solutions. From the moment I met Dr. Raffy, I felt at ease. He is warm, attentive, and truly listens. He took the time to understand my concerns, explained my options clearly, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. His expertise and skill are unmatched—he found the right approach to dramatically improve the appearance of my scar. Today, my scar looks 100 times better. The results speak for themselves, and I am beyond thankful for his care, precision, and commitment to delivering results that never faltered. Dr. Raffy is a rare combination of technical excellence and compassionate care, and I’m truly just so grateful for him. My only regret is not reaching out to him sooner!

I normally don’t write reviews but I feel compelled to do so. I decided to get a fractional laser treatment for a hardly visible scar on my forehead due to a car accident that happened years ago. They first numbed the section before starting the laser treatment and I thought everything went well but as the day progressed a blister formed and it eventually popped that night. The following day when I woke up I was left with an infected wound on the area where the blister popped, I freaked out and called the doctors office immediately and they asked me to take pictures and send it to them. They prescribed a cream for me to apply to the affected area and told me to come in and see the doctor. Dr. Raffy was trying to be helpful and he suggested other procedures he can do to help make it better. He highly suggested I do a prp treatment which is just an injection using your own blood to promote collagen. I allowed him to do it since it’s non invasive or a laser treatment. I didn’t feel like that helped out much and I didn’t trust him anymore after that. I been seeing a good doctor in NYC to help fix Dr. Raffy’s mistake but scars are permanent and can only improve so much. It’s been a year now since I saw Dr. Raffy and I am still left with a depressed scar and I look worse than when I first walked in his office. I work as a model which I rely on my appearance and now my confidence is low and I can’t go anywhere without someone asking me what happened to my face. Im going through depression because of his mistake which is why I decided to write this review and also to warn others before seeing this doctor.

Review for Dr. Karamanoukian – 5 Stars I’ve been a patient of Dr. Karamanoukian for nearly 20 years, and there’s no one else I trust more with my care. No matter where I’ve lived—whether across the state or across the country—I’ve always made the trip back just to see him. That’s how exceptional he is. Dr. Karamanoukian is not only incredibly skilled and precise, but also remarkably detail-oriented and deeply attentive. He takes the time to listen, explain, and tailor treatments to your specific needs. His approach is never rushed, and you always leave feeling confident and fully informed. What truly sets him apart is his commitment to staying on the cutting edge. He’s always up to date on the most advanced and effective treatments, and he incorporates the latest techniques with a level of expertise that inspires total trust. If you’re looking for a plastic surgeon who blends experience, innovation, and genuine care for his patients, Dr. Karamanoukian is simply the best. I wouldn’t go to anyone else.
