Located at 12301 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 600, his clinic—Kian Aesthetic Institute—has become a destination for patients seeking advanced facial rejuvenation and refinement, both surgical and non-surgical.

His work in this area has earned him national recognition, including media appearances on CBS’s The Doctors and EXTRA!, and accolades for his research on ethical considerations in aesthetic rhinoplasty.

Another hallmark of Dr. Karimi’s practice is the deep plane facelift, a sophisticated technique that lifts and repositions deeper facial tissues for longer-lasting, natural-looking results. This procedure is often combined with a neck lift, brow lift, or eyelid surgery to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. His surgical style emphasizes harmony and subtlety, aiming to restore youthful contours without creating an overdone appearance.

Dr. Karimi also specializes in fat grafting and facial implants, which are used to restore volume and enhance facial symmetry. These procedures are often part of a holistic treatment plan that may include scar revision or facial reconstruction, particularly for patients recovering from trauma or previous surgeries.

In addition to his surgical expertise, Dr. Karimi is a pioneer in non-surgical facial rejuvenation. He is known for his work with PDO thread lifts, microcannula dermal filler techniques, and autologous blood plasma treatments. These minimally invasive procedures offer patients effective alternatives to surgery, with reduced downtime and natural results. His clinic also offers Botox, dermal fillers, and laser skin treatments for wrinkle reduction, skin tightening, and overall complexion improvement.

Dr. Karimi’s academic background includes a magna cum laude degree from the University of Indiana and a medical degree from Indiana University School of Medicine, where he was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha honor society. He completed his residency in Head and Neck Surgery at the University of Florida and a prestigious fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery under Dr. Peter Adamson, a former president of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
