Thank u so much. I am a fan of yours. Now at 71, my friends and I accept how we look n we never thought of going for any procedures even during our younger days. We just accept what God gave us n this will be it till the end of days.
I've had peels and micro needling and I use Retin-A now for the last 30 years and I've never smoked and I do get injections once a year for my laugh lines and things look pretty good if I lined them correctly and put on some nice lipstick that's a muted tone. Very happy and I've just turned 70
Thanks for this great explanation! Starting with the CAUSE of the problem, going through the possible fixes, and ending with the best suggested solution makes so much sense. This allows patients to make informed decisions together with your doc. Wonderful way to present the material!
@@dramirkaramyour technique and results are absolutely beautiful- thank you for really caring and evaluating every single patient, the before and after photos are so incredible- all the ladies look … I mean…..I’m blown away - beautiful, every single person!
@@Calicat8 about tretinoin? I use the 0.1% about once every 2 weeks. Lips become very dry and chapped. I also prescribe myself (am a medical doc-neurologist) tretioin 2% cream from compounding pharmacy- and use it once a month or so. You have to use hyaluronic acid and your squalene/ coconut oils, etc, throughout the day. I believe sling care is not about AM and PM.. but important to use some key ingredients through the day- I reside in Montana and dry weather literally makes skin age. So use your HA and squalene and thick creams during the day as well. Always make your skin a bit damp as HA and “moisturizer” does a better job in the hydration factor. Sorry for the soliloquy. Cheers😀
Great video and so good to state that JUST having a lip lift when there is obvious sagging in face is going to look weird. At a certain point you have to address multiple issues and realize that single procedures will potentially look really unbalanced.
Skin ages because of decrease in collagen as we age. By supplementing with collagen in our tea or coffee can bost the collagen level and maintain a balance therefore preventing wrinkles. The older we get take more collagen powder also keep skin moisturized. Treat the cause then no need for surgery. Most people opt for surgery after they get wrinkly. I use olive oil on my skin while its still wet from the shower, rinse then pat dry. Apply sunscreen mixed in yiur favorite lotion. Sunscreen protect against the sun as well as the best hydrating type of lotion. Can be used as a nuggt cream. And eating healthy and geting vitamin c daily helps slow the aging process.
Dr. Perricone recommended olive oil in his first book. Thank you I forgot about it. It must be better than coconut oil. The coconut oil is not moisturizing well.
@@deedee2218 It’s best to have it done by a professional in a dermatologist’s or doctor’s office. There are many spas that offer micro needling done by estheticians, (and they offer other services too) but you will get a safer, more effective treatment if you get it done through a doctor’s office. It will cost more, but you get what you pay for. At least that been my experience. I had one done at a “spa” and it was nice, but not nearly as effective as when I did it through my dermatologist’s office. It was more expensive though, but more effective for sure.
By the way, you can do it yourself, (watch it on TH-cam), but it is not recommended because you can get an infection or cause scarring. To get it deep enough, your face needs to have numbing cream applied for 30+ minutes beforehand.
@Dee Dee The first time I did microneedling by derm and paid C$ 500 ,I saw the pen she had and checked specs online and got a comparable pen . It's Dr. Pen M8. It's regular microneendling. No specific name,just work more on areas that you need more ( around the eyes, lips, neck and etc ).
I so appreciate the straight truth. Im 65, I’m starting tretinoin for the LAST time, continuing Emepelle, sunscreen and red light therapy, and will call when my I can schedule. My dream!
This Dr is truly amazing, so honest, so direct, so realistic, so helpful and easy to follow, truly a really amazing Dr/person. Many thanks to this amazing man.❤
@@lilatueller Alternatively, start saving up (if you can) when you are younger so you have it by the time you think you need it. I personally would rather pay a premium on what I would consider the best work you can currently find on the market. Also, I would be terrified to go somewhere different solely for financial reasons as the long-term risks, potential botched outcomes and follow-up costs would be way worse.
Bet this lad changes a fortune for all His treatments. Most people couldn’t afford this and once you start you have to keep going to get the desired results.
Not exactly. U can do it even one time in your life. Lip filler will stimulate your own collagen production. So even 1 time during life is beneficial. I usually do 1 ml in lips every 2 years
I got some botox around mouth many years ago. I tried drinking a cup of tea and realized it was going down the front of my shirt. The botox prevented food and drink to stay in mouth. Could not wait for it t wear off!
I got lip implants when I was in my late 30s and never had to get lip fillers and such. It was one and done. Economical because the procedure was about the cost of 3 sessions of lip plumping and it's lasted a very long time! And will continue. The other thing it did was I noticed that my friends were getting bar code lines above their lips. The implant stretches that skin naturally and I don't have those lines. Lip implants are the way to go. I'm so happy with mine.
If I had $$ to burn, I’d do some surgical procedures. But mostly the ship has sailed for me now so it’s a nice big bottle of cabernet & family & friends😅
Sometimes getting teeth veneers will make your lips look fuller. An example of this effect is if you've ever used teeth whitening trays you will see your lips look fuller when you close your mouth over the trays because the lips 'sit' over the trays. Hope I'm explaining it right.
@@Donna-vh5ym Depends on how many veneers you get and where you live. A cheaper alternative is bonding which is what I have. It was years ago so I don't remember the exact price. Might have been $800 a tooth. They don't remove part of the tooth, you don't wear falsies while waiting for the finished product. Dentist paints on a layer of bonding (don't know what it's called) then 'cures' it with a blue light. Fast and painless.
The thing I have noticed with lip lifts, if a person has a fairly larger nose, it looks even larger after the lip lift. Let's not forget the nose and ears does not stop growing. You certainly wouldn't want your nose to touch your top lip when you're 70.🙄
Dr. karam, can you do a video on patients in their seventies who have had face rejuvenation done by you? It would really be awesome to those of us who are considering plastic surgery late in life, due to financial reasons when younger. I watch and enjoy your videos when they are on and wish your practice were here in Texas.
No botox near the mouth ever!!!! I tried it once to lift up the corner of the mouth. I could not soeak properly for three months. It was horrible as i make my money with it. Never again!!
All of your videos are great. I am interested in some of your facial treatments. I've had a permanent lip surgery in munich. My lips were very thin. I believe in cosmetic surgery, my life has become easier. I am very happy.
Lol... yeah those of us that can't afford $$$$ skin care products and procedures need them more because stress because of inflation and minimum wage etc gives you wrinkles Looking despairingly in the mirror can cause depression and despair causing sad down turned face. Money may not buy you true happiness..but it can go along way to boosting quality of life

How is the scar after lip lift ? How is it healing? I'm afraid it would be visible as at middle age skin does not rejuvenate so good as when you young...
@@ingride3719 Scar is not visible except under close exam & healing is quick as long you follow post-op care instructions including NO exertion the first week. I went for walks during that critical time which i'm sure contributed to excess swelling/slower healing.
Great video. So useful to not make mistakes. I’m in my 60s and I have vertical lines above my upper lip. What is your opinion regarding fibroblast treatments in that area to decrease or eliminate vertical lines. Many thanks if you answer this question.
Dr. Karam, believe me, I'm your fan number one! I live en WA, State, and I'm crazy to have an appointment with you because I need improvement in the shape of my lips . Thanks for your all your! advice
I was told 25yrs ago post rhino/septoplasty my upper lip would fall due to the collagen from my nose being removed. In my late 50’s now early 60’s I do a Botox lip flip, DAO, masseter muscles Botox. After that some light filler in the DAO area and KISS lip filler- tastefully. I don’t have sagging jowls. This technique is really artistry. Yes it’s maintenance. At some point would a deep plane facelift work better, yes. However not ready for surgery. But this particular ratio of Botox/fillers solutions is really quite amazing given the Dr and her expertise. That’s key!
New Zealand here following you for a few years now and Your amazing you give some most precise explanations and your details are just so informative THANK YOU so much for ALL of your precious time you give to US 😊
I’m broke but I hate knowing there are so many techniques out there that can help me look better and not having the means to do it although I gotta say I was blessed with wrinkle fed skin at 73 due to retinol - vitamin C and sunscreen 😊
@@ANITA-iw8mf that s by far not correct if you use only 1 ml of filler and only sporadically eg every 2 years. Plus the technique is very very important. Duck lips is due to overuse of filler
I’ve ALWAYS had a chicken lip (upper) and the philtrum is getting longer as I’m aging. I finally decided to talk to my wife’s cosmetic surgeon (he did a breast reduction) about it and did the Restylene Kysse - an entire 1ml in my upper lip with no noticeable change. I met with him again yesterday to do more filler, but he says I still had some swelling and asked me to wait another week. I talked to him about a lip lift, and he told me I wasn’t a good candidate because my front teeth would show with a resting face. That was my last option. I’m so bummed about it, and am wondering if I should get a 2nd opinion. I’ve looked in my area in SC, but cannot find anyone who specializes in this procedure. In the meantime, I’m a victim of duck lips because my top lip is now extending over my bottom lip. Unless you’ve suffered with thin lips you can’t understand how insecure this makes someone feel. 😢
@@Lin6055m I looked at your profile photo and your lips are not thin (at least according to my definition of thin which would have a pic of me beside the definition 😂). I would be ecstatic to have your lip size. By the way, I had a 2nd ml of the Kysse and after the swelling I have zero to show for it except a $1500 bill. Complete waste and on top of that my upper lip is drooping slightly on one side and no asymmetry at all. I expressed my disappointment and was told to come back to discuss. Why? The only thing that would make me happy would be a refund. Definitely not letting him touch my lips again. I don’t care how long he or anyone else has been a cosmetic surgeon - it takes talent in addition to experience.
@@cricketpieit’s really important to look at many before and after pics. If you want height and less duck lip look, you may want to get your to lip dissolved (not bottom unless it’s lumpy), and go for the Russian lip filler technique, but again it’s important to go to a professional who has many good results. I’ve used Restylane Kysse, it’s a newer product, and it gives more natural results but doesn’t last very long ( in my experience). Try Juvederm Ultra. Good luck 🍀
I can relate I have no lips and they're starting to turn down in the corners it's terrible it has always been that way since I was young they Always turn down in the corners of my mouth I used to have people tell me don't be sad it's the way God made me
Would you say chemical peels help along with microniedling and retinal? And is it okay to use copper products on the lips? Thanks so.much for all your videos!!❤
I have a unique situation. I had Mohs surgery that ended up in 24 stitches from my nose, upper lip, corner of my mouth to the chin. I’m 58 btw. My dermatologist is going to laser the scar & hopefully give me a better look🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Dr Amir, the dimensional science of aging is a very interesting topic! I have seen great results from lip lifts on other people but I would be worried for scarring for me personally. Btw your skin is really glowing!
Dr.karam I have been watching your videos for over a year now. They really intrigued me with the knowledge that you have. That makes me feel like there's no other doctor that would be as good as you. I will be 57 in January and have been looking for a doctor to do a vertical. Face left for me. No one seems to compare. I live in York Pennsylvania Hopefully someday God will help me find My Way to you. that would be a miracle. So with that being said I will continue to watch your Videos and pray for a miracle. You are definitely the best keep up the great work.
I have so much more to offer the world than a pretty face... The beauty of my younger years got me treated poorly. I was treated very bad by insecure women, ignorant men- people were intimidated by my beauty & now that I'm aging gracefully it seems that I'm treated with the respect- minus other people's assumptions- judgemental attitudes- that I have always deserved. It's not my responsibility to entertain the masses with a youthful face in my 50's. Now that I'm wrinkled & sagging- I'm somehow more approachable & people are kind to me. $15-20k is better spent on ATV's, kayaks, boats, campers & just living a quality of life with people who love you for who you are. No need to be "segggzy" in my senior years... Pfffft turning heads should not be a "life goal" that you plan for in retirement/grandparent years!!! Love yourself, eat right, pray, exercise, sleep well 🙏
You're suggesting that I shouldn't make a comment about my positive acceptance of aging naturally in the spirit of reminding the other viewers who could never afford to do this without going into debt- that maybe they can be ok with themselves and have a very rich life? Yes, people here DO need to be reminded that they're good enough just the way they are! It's not ok to treat people any certain way because of their looks- youthful or otherwise. Have the day you deserve. I'll watch what I want and leave positive comments wherever I please.
@Aangel452 hi there Angel, what kind of facial exercises work? There are lots of kinds and many don't work or make things worse. I would love to know what I can do with facial exercises... Thanks a bunch ch!
Hey doc :) it was so much informative and I can’t thank you enough for this ♥️🥰I naturally have big lips and noticing the early changes and do go for lip flip and lip booster sometimes ❤we love your videos 🥰🙏🤩
I'v always had naturally full lips. Now that I'm 68, my lips have lots of vertical lines unless I'm smiling. Treatments are way out of my reach. Is there anything more natural I can do to smooth out my lips? By the way, I love your videos. They're so informative.
Thanks Dr Karam. I’ve done various procedures around the mouth for many moons. However I had the good sense not to overdo. I was blessed with a keen eye for proportion. Until now I was not sure how the lips aged with the rest of the face. A little tweaking here and there can make a big difference.
Thank you for taking the time to explain in detail these rejuvenation procedures and advice. I love your videos and info. You come across as sincere and very knowledgeable. I will be visiting your office one of these days :)
the only person ı know who had a lip lift, which happened a long time ago, you can see the line under her nose. ı dont like that. is it possible nowadays to have no visible scar?
I think that lip lift are not for everyone. In my case both my lips are full even if the distance between my nose and my lips had elongated with age. And with my aquiline nose ,I think that a lip lift may look weird. Correct me if I am wrong. Maybe lip lift is not for every shape of lips and nose ?
Good info. I'm over 70 and had a little too much botox (6 units) on my upper lip which caused me to drool when drinking out of a glass but otherwise it relaxed my lip nicely. I also had filler in the deeper lines and a little in the lips. Very happy with the natural look and have my lip back! I appreciate your honesty regarding all those heavily touted methods that don't work. I enjoy your videos. Thank you!
Thank you for this wonderfully done video. I was wondering if using a topical lip plumper would be helpful. Are there any long lasting effects? My lips are getting thinner, but not horrible yet. When I apply vaseline, they plump up nicely though, but it doesn’t last of course.
So frustrating to have all this fall apart and not have the funds to come to someone like you and fix these things. Very depressing that most providers take the money knowing its not going to really help the issues
tell me about it, I have been to 4 Dermatologist and an Allergist and just now they say I have Psoriasis on my neck an chin, I have used multiple medication that have made it worse or even made me sick! I'm just looking to heal my skin!

Your advice is great! Thank you for keeping it real and wanting the best for people!
Such good info , I was thinking about filler for my old lips, now I know better . Thank you
Thank you Dr. Karam. Very clear and informative. Thanks again.
My pleasure
Thank you Dr Karam for taking the time to educate us, because you care. I’m saving my money, I look forward to the day I’m sitting in your chair ❤‼️
This doctor has beautiful skin...
I’ve ALWAYS had a chicken lip (upper) and the philtrum is getting longer as I’m aging. I finally decided to talk to my wife’s cosmetic surgeon (he did a breast reduction) about it and did the Restylene Kysse - an entire 1ml in my upper lip with no noticeable change. I met with him again yesterday to do more filler, but he says I still had some swelling and asked me to wait another week. I talked to him about a lip lift, and he told me I wasn’t a good candidate because my front teeth would show with a resting face. That was my last option. I’m so bummed about it, and am wondering if I should get a 2nd opinion. I’ve looked in my area in SC, but cannot find anyone who specializes in this procedure. In the meantime, I’m a victim of duck lips because my top lip is now extending over my bottom lip. Unless you’ve suffered with thin lips you can’t understand how insecure this makes someone feel. 😢
I have thin lips. Gives me an edgier look with my high cheekbones
@@Lin6055m I looked at your profile photo and your lips are not thin (at least according to my definition of thin which would have a pic of me beside the definition 😂). I would be ecstatic to have your lip size. By the way, I had a 2nd ml of the Kysse and after the swelling I have zero to show for it except a $1500 bill. Complete waste and on top of that my upper lip is drooping slightly on one side and no asymmetry at all. I expressed my disappointment and was told to come back to discuss. Why? The only thing that would make me happy would be a refund. Definitely not letting him touch my lips again. I don’t care how long he or anyone else has been a cosmetic surgeon - it takes talent in addition to experience.
@@cricketpieit’s really important to look at many before and after pics. If you want height and less duck lip look, you may want to get your to lip dissolved (not bottom unless it’s lumpy), and go for the Russian lip filler technique, but again it’s important to go to a professional who has many good results. I’ve used Restylane Kysse, it’s a newer product, and it gives more natural results but doesn’t last very long ( in my experience). Try Juvederm Ultra. Good luck 🍀
I can relate I have no lips and they're starting to turn down in the corners it's terrible it has always been that way since I was young they Always turn down in the corners of my mouth I used to have people tell me don't be sad it's the way God made me

helpful. Thank you. I put the quench and illuminate on my lips too.
Would you say chemical peels help along with microniedling and retinal? And is it okay to use copper products on the lips? Thanks so.much for all your videos!!❤
Angellift, micro needling and TCA peels all help and can be done at home.
What are TCA peels?
Very informative, Dr. Karam, I am using your skin care line, my skin is much brighter, happy with results, a great investment. thank you.
I love to hear that. Please look in to joining our ambassador program! We would love to have you on the team. karammdskin.com/pages/roster-signup
@@dramirkaram Will do. Thank you Dr. Karam.
Totally understood. Thanks for sharing your knowledge ❤
You are so welcome!
Thanks Doctor. Wish I could afford a solution but at 73 I can’t. Let me say that you have the most beautiful skin. Thanks for the information!
I have a unique situation. I had Mohs surgery that ended up in 24 stitches from my nose, upper lip, corner of my mouth to the chin. I’m 58 btw. My dermatologist is going to laser the scar & hopefully give me a better look🙏🙏🙏
Very helpful information! I’m adding a little bit of filler to my lips….
Thank you for explaining in simple & clear way
Thank you Dr Amir, the dimensional science of aging is a very interesting topic! I have seen great results from lip lifts on other people but I would be worried for scarring for me personally. Btw your skin is really glowing!
Thank you! BTW, I've been using sun block every day, thanks to your advice!!🥰
Wonderful!
Dr.karam I have been watching your videos for over a year now. They really intrigued me with the knowledge that you have. That makes me feel like there's no other doctor that would be as good as you. I will be 57 in January and have been looking for a doctor to do a vertical. Face left for me. No one seems to compare. I live in York Pennsylvania Hopefully someday God will help me find My Way to you.
that would be a miracle. So with that being said I will continue to watch your Videos and pray for a miracle. You are definitely the best keep up the great work.
Thank you so much! Best of luck, I hope to see you!
I have so much more to offer the world than a pretty face... The beauty of my younger years got me treated poorly. I was treated very bad by insecure women, ignorant men- people were intimidated by my beauty & now that I'm aging gracefully it seems that I'm treated with the respect- minus other people's assumptions- judgemental attitudes- that I have always deserved. It's not my responsibility to entertain the masses with a youthful face in my 50's. Now that I'm wrinkled & sagging- I'm somehow more approachable & people are kind to me. $15-20k is better spent on ATV's, kayaks, boats, campers & just living a quality of life with people who love you for who you are. No need to be "segggzy" in my senior years... Pfffft turning heads should not be a "life goal" that you plan for in retirement/grandparent years!!! Love yourself, eat right, pray, exercise, sleep well 🙏
Then obviously this is not the platform and Vedic said you need to be entertains yourself with at this tim
And with all due respect, commenting on either
You're suggesting that I shouldn't make a comment about my positive acceptance of aging naturally in the spirit of reminding the other viewers who could never afford to do this without going into debt- that maybe they can be ok with themselves and have a very rich life? Yes, people here DO need to be reminded that they're good enough just the way they are! It's not ok to treat people any certain way because of their looks- youthful or otherwise. Have the day you deserve.
I'll watch what I want and leave positive comments wherever I please.
💯💯💯💯
It’s a public forum with a public discussion. She’s not trolling or spamming just making a positive comment !
Consistent facial exercise’s make a huge difference!
@Aangel452 hi there Angel, what kind of facial exercises work? There are lots of kinds and many don't work or make things worse. I would love to know what I can do with facial exercises... Thanks a bunch ch!
Great video and skin class. Very educational and informative and so very easy to understand. Thank you so much Dr. Karam.
My pleasure
Really great information that explains where the heck my lips went!
Thank you so much for your excellent advice through your experience ❤
I learn so much from your content. Thank u!🙌🏻
I am so glad.
Hey doc :) it was so much informative and I can’t thank you enough for this ♥️🥰I naturally have big lips and noticing the early changes and do go for lip flip and lip booster sometimes ❤we love your videos 🥰🙏🤩
Thank you for watching!
I'v always had naturally full lips. Now that I'm 68, my lips have lots of vertical lines unless I'm smiling. Treatments are way out of my reach. Is there anything more natural I can do to smooth out my lips? By the way, I love your videos. They're so informative.
Thank you so much for all these informative videos that are easy to understand and most importantly help us all make better decisions.
Thanks Dr Karam. I’ve done various procedures around the mouth for many moons. However I had the good sense not to overdo. I was blessed with a keen eye for proportion. Until now I was not sure how the lips aged with the rest of the face. A little tweaking here and there can make a big difference.
Always very informative! Much appreciated!
My pleasure
Thank you for taking the time to explain in detail these rejuvenation procedures and advice. I love your videos and info. You come across as sincere and very knowledgeable. I will be visiting your office one of these days :)
Ahh thank you so much for the nice comment.
You will be very happy if you do. Dr Karam is the best, very knowledgeable and an artist!
yes, when I win the lottery
Now I understand! So simple with knowledge. Thank you for this informative video Dr Karam.
the only person ı know who had a lip lift, which happened a long time ago, you can see the line under her nose. ı dont like that. is it possible nowadays to have no visible scar?
What a great video!!
Thanks for watching!
I think that lip lift are not for everyone. In my case both my lips are full even if the distance between my nose and my lips had elongated with age. And with my aquiline nose ,I think that a lip lift may look weird. Correct me if I am wrong. Maybe lip lift is not for every shape of lips and nose ?
This is so informative. I have vertical lines and will talk with my dermatologist about options
So helpful, thank you ❤
Thank you-I have been looking for info on this subject and this was very helpful.
I'm so glad!
Thank you! I learned a lot!
My pleasure
Thanks for all your education. It's really helpful!
I am so glad it is helpful!
My lip filler traveled past my upper lip so sad! Tell me more of what I should do!
Thx for your honesty.
What type of laser to get on lip lines, how long before you see a difference and how drastic can that difference be?
Great information! 😊
Good info. I'm over 70 and had a little too much botox (6 units) on my upper lip which caused me to drool when drinking out of a glass but otherwise it relaxed my lip nicely. I also had filler in the deeper lines and a little in the lips. Very happy with the natural look and have my lip back! I appreciate your honesty regarding all those heavily touted methods that don't work. I enjoy your videos. Thank you!
Fantastic info.!
Your lips look great, Dr. Karam!
I was wondering if he put filler in his lips!
Happy to be alive. I'd rather spend money on travel, friends and good food.
Excellent vid! Thank you for sharing info 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative.
Also, things are happening to bone/skeleton, correct?
After I get my stem cells treatment - I am coming to you to get my vertical restore with the lip fat transfer lift you talk about
Thank you for this wonderfully done video. I was wondering if using a topical lip plumper would be helpful. Are there any long lasting effects? My lips are getting thinner, but not horrible yet. When I apply vaseline, they plump up nicely though, but it doesn’t last of course.
Hello Dr. Karam. Can you please do a segment about the pros and cons of using Sculptura verses Fat Transfer? I would really appreciate it.
Thsnk you got your input, doc🎉
Great job ❤
I would like to know what the doctor thinks about the V to the Y lip surgery.
So frustrating to have all this fall apart and not have the funds to come to someone like you and fix these things. Very depressing that most providers take the money knowing its not going to really help the issues
tell me about it, I have been to 4 Dermatologist and an Allergist and just now they say I have Psoriasis on my neck an chin, I have used multiple medication that have made it worse or even made me sick! I'm just looking to heal my skin!
@@denisesorchidparadise1411 cut carbs, alcohol and sugar, helped me, take omega 3 and d3 drops
One question: can you put skincare (vit A and C) onto the lips?
I do
I don't think so. But u can put around
What actives do you use on the lips?
