I honestly could not be any happier, Dr Zoumalan turned my whole life around! I had so many issues before I decided to have my Rhino Surgery with Dr Z. My breathing was horrible, I had constant sinus infections, I had trouble sleeping, tasting, the list goes on. Not to mention the huge bump on my nose, which as a young female, was my “biggest issue.” Somehow, even though I had thousands of issues with my nose, I put it off for so long because I was so nervous about having surgery. After the worst episode of sinus infection, I started looking into finding a surgeon. I met a handful of surgeons, until I landed in the hands of Dr Zoumalan. He made me feel so confident about undergoing rhino surgery, he showed me a projection of how my nose would look, explained the whole surgery, and went into detail about what to expect. I went back to work 7 days after my surgery with little, to almost no sign of surgery, except for the fact that I had a beautiful nose and was already breathing about 80% better. Now, three months out, I can honestly say my breathing has gotten better by almost 100%. Thank you so much Dr Z!!!

I had a functional medical procedure performed on my neck by Dr. Richard Zoumalan, and the experience was significantly better than I had hoped it would be. He was very calm, walked and talked me through the whole thing, and it was over practically before I realized he had even started. The results look great; completely natural. I will definitely be going back to Dr. Rich the next time I need anything taken care of.

Dr. Zoumalan is an excellent surgeon and I will give him the highest of recommendations. My surgery went flawlessly and he took extra measures to ensure the success of my procedure. From beginning to end I was comfortable, informed, and confident I had made the right decision in my choice of surgeons. He is thorough, talented, and his bedside manner is unbeatable. This was my first surgery with Dr. Zoumalan, but it won’t be the last. I know exactly who to call in the future should I need additional care. In addition, he is VERY handsome as well!!

Kathy P.

I can not say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Zoumalan. I went to him for a Rhinoplasty in which I have been contemplating for several years. It wasn’t until I met with Dr. Zoumalan that I knew I was in the right hands. He was extremely kind and answered all my questions with ease. I was beyond satisfied with my results. My nose looks so natural. It was beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Dr. Zoumalan. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Wow is all I can say! As a registered nurse and provider of cosmetic procedures myself, I am now referring all of my patients to Dr. Zoumalan.

I went for a consult for an earlobe repair after a mini face lift years ago. I ended up with pixie ears which led me to hide my ears as much as possible. Dr. Zoumalan’s confidence and personality sold me. He took his time explaining what the procedure involved, gave me options, and was well priced to boot.
The actual procedure was done in the office. Piece of cake! I was totally relaxed as his and his staff’s demeanor is kind, confident and approachable. The end result was perfect. His attention to detail was amazing. He is a perfectionist as am I.

I work in a high profile cosmetic dermatology office and hand out his business cards on a regular basis. I will continue to recommend him to anyone that desires to look their best!
And he is absolutely adorable!

Dr. Zoumalan is an accomplished, dedicated and talented plastic surgeon who truly cares about his patients. My procedure requires several trips to his office and every time I am greeted with a warm, friendly and professional staff. I am halfway through the process and already see major improvements.

Prior to starting my procedure, Dr. Zoumalan took his time to thoroughly explain the procedure and the process involved for desired results. I had a clear understanding of what was involved and was fully comfortable with the plan he had tailored specifically to address my problem area. I walked out of the consultation without any hesitation to proceed with his recommendation and I am so grateful to him for all his help. Not only is he an amazing plastic surgeon, he is an incredible human being with a deep desire to help people. He is a kind and compassionate individual who genuinely cares about his patients. It only takes one meeting with him to know that he is very passionate about what he is doing and takes pride in his work. I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to Dr. Zoumalan for helping me. It goes without saying I would highly recommend him.

Lorina E.

Dr. Zoumalan performed a procedure on me and my experience was amazing from the time I walked in to when I left. His office staff is very pleasant and the procedure itself went smoothly. I highly recommend using Dr. Zoumalan to anyone looking for a plastic surgeon. It was a very pleasing experience.

Alfonso L.

I am 4 months in from septoplasty and rhinoplasty by Dr. Richard Zoumalan. I went to 3 other doctors, and chose him because of his confidence, bedside manner, and ability to explain things in a way that makes sense. He also used my insurance for the breathing part, which made it affordable. He is an excellent doctor with excellent staff, and I am extremely happy with my results.

I was tired of getting mad with my neck. I just turned 66, and over the years, I’d accepted the change that comes with simply surviving: losing skin elasticity and hormones. I’d lost my jawline, my eyes had craters under them, and I looked tired all the time. I’d tried electro stem facials and all the tiny fixes – the injections and fillers, but nothing seemed to help for long. Because I grew up in LA, I’ve been surrounded by face lifts all my life. And that’s why I was terrified at the prospect of surgery; I’d seen far too many “plastic surgery victims.” So when I met with Richard Zoumalan, I gave him a picture of me when I was 42, and I said, “That’s what I want. Is that possible?” And he said, “Yes!” He explained what he’d do, and how he would do it. I had surgery less than a month ago, and amazingly, I look almost exactly like me, only about 25 years younger. I got what I wanted. I cannot recommend Richard highly enough. Besides being a kind, compassionate person, an amazing surgeon, he’s also an artist. His office is filed with his artwork. His darling brother Christopher Zoumalan did my eyes, and they look great! Between the two of them, you can’t ask for a better team – they’re young, energetic and trained to do the newest procedures. My sister calls them the “Hot Docs.” Oh, the only downside to this? My baby sister, who is 14 years younger than I am, said, “I don’t think I like you looking younger than I do!” Oh, well… ;^))

Past Life Love

I recently went to Dr. Richard Zoumalan for a nose job and I could not be happier. Not only was he extremely professional and kind, he truly is the best at what he does. I met with many doctors in the area, but Dr. Richard Zoumalan is the only one who guaranteed me that I would still look like my self, but without that awful bump!
When I saw the results, I couldn’t believe how good it came out. It is by far the most natural looking nose job out there. Many of my colleagues and friends keep telling me how good I look, but they cannot put their finger on what exactly I did. It has been a little more than 3 months and I couldn’t be happier! Anyone who is considering a nose job should go to Dr. Zoumalan….you will not be disappointed!!!

Dr. Zoumalan is truly a one of a kind doctor. He is very kind, knowledgeable and eased my stress before and throughout my whole procedure. If you’re in the search for a pioneer of a surgeon (In my humble option) and a super friendly and helpful staff in the Los Angeles area you need to look no further than the office of Elite Surgeon Dr. Zoumalan. Both my wife and I have been nothing but impressed with his practice, demeanor, as well as expertise. I am very particular, detail oriented and was struck on just how well both Dr. Zoumalan services as well as the whole practice conducts their operation. I am forever grateful and thankful for Dr. Zoumalan. My breathing pattern through my nose (basically was nonexistent) is getting better every each day.

I had a Face and Neck Lift on December 3rd, 2014. Dr. Zoumalan does excellent work! He is very thorough in explaining the procedure, and has an excellent bedside manner. I am so happy with my result. I would highly recommend Dr. Zoumalan.

Carol Burt

Excellent Necklift surgeon. Dr. Zoumalan did an excellent necklift on me last year. I am extremely happy with the result. I saw his results on another patient and was sold.

Angela S

Dr. Zoumalan was outstanding – I had an incredible experience with him and would recommend him to anyone.

I broke my nose while playing basketball (lots of fun) and Dr. Zoumalan was able to see me right away. How often does that happen these days??

Thankfully I decided to go to him rather than go to the ER, as I would have been price-gouged in the ER and also forced to wait for who-knows-how-long with my nose bleeding all over myself. Thank G-d my friend recommended that I call Dr. Zoumalan instead.

He fixed my broken nose quickly and with not a single bit of pain – I couldn’t believe it. I was convinced this would be the most painful thing I’ve experienced, seriously. I don’t know how he pulled it off, but he put me under local anesthesia, put my nose back in place and was done in a very short period of time. I wasn’t troubled at all by the procedure, much to my surprise.

He was super patient and made me feel totally comfortable. He explained what we were doing in each step, and was organized and efficient. I also got the sense that Dr. Zoumalan is truly passionate about what he does – he seems to sincerely want to be a great surgeon for his patients. He is! And the fact that he is accommodating (saw me right away without any advance notice) at the same time, and not arrogant or curt at all (even though he’s obviously a very sharp guy), is quite unique. I felt extremely at ease the whole time.

If you ever happen to need nasal fracture repair of any sort, I would think there’s no better way to go.

My friend referred me to him because he did her rhinoplasty, and she was really happy with him. Another friend had a necklift with him and was also very pleased. Overall I’ve heard a lot of folks have had positive experiences and recommend him highly.

Peter M.

As a guy, I felt weird about getting my nose done, but the women in my life kept telling me I should do it. After I met with Dr. Zoumalan, and he showed me my profile on the imaging, I signed up. I am so glad I did. I got a rhinoplasty and chin implant with Dr. Z, and my profile looks great. I used to hate seeing myself in photos, and now I really like it. Dr. Zoumalan’s imaging software made me comfortable with both procedures. I honestly don’t think I would have done it otherwise. My friends really didn’t ever ask about it because it was a really natural change. Also I am an artist, and I saw the beautiful paintings he did in his office. It really put me at ease to know that he has that artsy side to him. Also, he’s a cool guy, and he is straight up and honest.

It’s been 6 months after my rhinoplasty already, and I can tell you that Dr. Zoumalan did such a great job. I am so glad I found him and chose him.-Whitney A.

Dr. Zoumalan performed my revision rhinoplasty last year, and he hit a home run! After my first rhinoplasty, I was terrified to go back to surgery. I had my nose done 5 years ago by another surgeon, and I hated the result. My tip was twisted and there was a big bump on it. I also had another bump higher up. And how does breathing get worse after surgery??? I never understood this. I was so nervous about the revision that I almost had a panic attack during my visit before surgery. No joke. Dr. Zoumalan calmed me down. I was so scared I almost walked out. But I’m so glad I didn’t.

Dr. Zoumalan fixed everything. Everything. Both bumps are gone, my nose looks fabulous, and I can breathe again. He told me that my septum was still crooked, and thank god there was enough cartilage in it to reconstruct the nose.

I found him through a friend, and I am so happy, I even sent her a gift as well! Hehe.

Nasim S.

Dr. Zoumalan did fat transfer on me, and it was worth every penny. I am skinny with a skinny face, and I tried for years to get better cheek and temple shape with fillers and nothing worked. I spent thousands of dollars trying to find something that would last. I tried Juvederm, Perlane, Restylane, and nothing would stay. My dermatologist recommended me to have Dr. Zoumalan evaluate me for fat injections. I am thankful for this. He is a true artist (in more ways than one-he’s a painter too) and he put the perfect amount of fat everywhere. I am one year out, and I love what he has done. I look younger, and it looks and it feels natural. He took the fat from my belly and inner thighs. Even those areas look better…added bonus. So much more cost effective than all the fillers. And there was minimal to no downtime at all. Just a little swelling and a couple small bruises. So glad I went ahead with it.

Dr. Zoumalan is a life saver, he has helped me beyond what anyone else could have done. Both my Dermatologist and my family can’t believe the wonderful job he has done repairing 2, count them 2 Skin Cancers on my nose within a 5 month period. I was extremely lucky to have been referred to Dr. Zoumalan by a friend of mine who had just undergone a similar surgery. My dermatologist was so impressed he is now recommending his patients for face surgery to Dr. Zoumalan. I consider myself very lucky to have found the Doctor and can’t recommend him any higher than this. He helped save my nose and my facial structure with a difficult surgery on top of another recent surgery, not an easy task. He is an artist of the face and the canvas.

Bob M,

I went to see Dr. Zoumalan March 2013 for Nasal Surgery to better my breathing after a previous rhinoplasty I had many years ago. This nasal surgery included revisional septoplasty and turbinate reduction, and what a difference it has made in my life! I came in having such a difficult time breathing during the day and not able to sleep through an entire night. Dr. Zoumalan is extremely patient (I asked a million and one questions pre-surgery and he had an answer for everything), caring, punctual, funny, and not bad to look at 😉 On a more serious note, Dr. Zoumalan made me feel extremely comfortable and has followed up with me ever since my surgery to make sure I am breathing clearly. I would also like to mention his office staff are incredibly nice and flexible with my schedule. I highly recommend Dr. Richard Zoumalan to anyone!

Morgan Z.

Ever since I broke my nose, rhinoplasty was something I thought about doing. I did my research for a while and found Dr. Zoumalan. He was very warm and always answered all my questions to my satisfaction. I knew my nose would be difficult, and I wanted someone who also had an ENT background, since my septum was fractured as well, and I couldn’t breathe. I am very pleased with my results of the rhinoplasty, septoplasty and turbinates, both for cosmetic and breathing. His staff is amazing and Danielle was always helpful in answering everything. She and the other girls in the office are really down-to-earth and always make me feel welcome. This experience seemed so intimidating at first, but now looking back was really easy

Inez R.

Excellent job on my rhinoplasty and chin implant. Dr. Zoumalan is a perfectionist. He imaged my profile and showed my nose would look, and it’s what I expected. He is caring. He knows what he is doing. He does what is good for you, and not what makes more money. I’m glad I chose him over the 2 other surgeons I saw.

Samira L.

I waited until later in life to get my nose done because I was so nervous. If I would have known
how much it would have improved my life, I would have done it earlier. I had rhinoplasty and
septoplasty by Dr. Zoumalan in June, and I am so pleased with the result, I wish I would have
done it earlier in life.

I had breathing problems and couldn’t sleep. Now I sleep and exercise better already. People
keep saying how great I look, but no one asks me if I had my nose done, which is what I was
always worried about.

Such a talented surgeon. Thank you Dr. Z!

Jill M.

Dr. Richard Zoumalan performed an exceptional revisional rhinoplasty of my nose. I have a history of chronic sinusitis and have had several sinus surgeries and 2 rhinoplasties in hopes to correct my problem. My original rhinoplasty was done to correct a severely deviated septum. This surgery left me unable to breathe out of my nose. I had a second surgery where the surgeon used alar batten grafts to correct collapsed nasal valves. Unfortunately, these grafts failed and with time became infected leaving me with a pollybeak deformity. These grafts were painful and I was in search of a surgeon that could help alleviate the pain and improve my breathing and overall look of my nose.

I consulted with several plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills and was finally referred to Dr. Zoumalan by a family friend. After consulting with Dr. Richard Zoumalan and listening to his explanation of what was necessary to correct my problem, I felt confident with Dr. Zoumalan as my plastic surgeon.

With outrageous nervous tension I underwent my 2nd revision rhinoplasty on October 4, 2012. After surgery he took the time to call and check in on how I was doing. After removing my splint and seeing my results for the first time, my nose looked better than I could have ever imagined. It brought tears to my eyes! I am incredibly happy with my results. Dr. Zoumalans’ precise attention to detail assured a remarkable outcome.

As a result of this wonderful experience, I have reconsidered my career goals and have initiated my desire to become a facial plastic surgeon.

THANKS Dr. Zoumalan!!!

Kay M.

Gorgeous!!! Yes, gorgeous! beautiful! perfect Nose!!!
My girlfriend just had a rhinoplasty from Dr. RIchard Zoumalan!! He is the Best!!
I am next!! I had the pleasure of accompanying her to the consultation, surgery, and post op visits. The office is so inviting, the doctor is so knowledgeable and professional, we knew we were in the right place with the right doctor!!
I can’t wait for my surgery!!!

Jennifer J.

So incredibly pleased with my results; my husband says I look 20 years younger! Dr. Richard Zoumalan along with his brother, Dr. Christopher Zoumalan, took a team approach to my surgery. I felt very lucky to have both of them collaborate to create wonderful surgical results. I had a facelift, temporal forehead left, and upper and lower blepharoplasty with graft repair. As a teen I was involved in a car accident that left me weak on the right side of my face. Throughout the years this has been a concern for me due to the asymmetry. Within the consultation the Zoumalan brothers and I discussed my concerns and decided on the best surgical approach. I felt assured with their expertise and attention to detail. I knew from the beginning that I was in the best hands and knew that I would be taken care of. The surgery was a success! I am beyond thrilled with my results and the experience I had throughout this process. I highly recommend that you consult with Dr. Richard and Dr. Christopher Zoumalan for your surgical and non-surgical needs. They are the best!

Tracie S.

Dr. Richard Zoumalan performed extraordinary emergency reconstruction/repair on my lip on 4/6/12. I’d blacked-out from pain hours after a hernia surgery, and ripped my lower lip clear in half on the way down. Dr. Zoumalan’s a genius, and I’m so grateful he was on-call that night. I’m still healing, but it took some brilliant artistry to stitch ‘Humpty Dumpty’ back together again~ and at this juncture, you can barely tell I was hurt. When a physician says “this is the worst lip trauma” he’s ever seen, you worry… but Zoumalan assured me he could fix whatever didn’t turn out perfectly. Thankfully, it looks like there’ll be no need for that. In today’s world, this kind of expertise is admirable and very rare. No question who’s gonna do my ‘lift’ when I get around to it. Can’t say enough about this doctor (other than, Amazing results).

Dr. Zoumalan has done a fantastic on my facial reconstruction. I have had a major skin cancer removed from my face and the Dr who performed the cancer removal was not confident that he could close up the wound without leaving significant scarring. He recommended that I visit Dr Zoumalan right away. Fortunately for me, Dr. Zoumalan made himself available right away. He then proceeded to spend more than two hours carefully closing the wound and reconstructing my face. It has been only 4 weeks since the surgery. Every morning, I check my face in the mirror and every day, it looks better and better. So much so that people are already commenting that the scar is not even noticeable unless I point it out to them. I would never have thought this possible 4 weeks ago, and feel very blessed that it was Dr Zoumalan who did the surgery. In addition, I would like to add that in each follow up visit, Dr Zoumalan has proven to be very thorough and has spent time with me answering my questions and offering excellent advice. Finally, I would like to add that his staff are very professional and courteous. One of the ladies (she sits in an office behind reception) is also very beautiful…

Dr. Richard Zoumalan was AMAZING!!! I was super hesitant and nervous on my first visit, immediately he put me at ease. Dr. Richard Zoumalan took the time to explain in detail what the procedure would entail, answering all of my questions along the way. The results were absolutely incredible! He also took the extra step, after my follow up appointment and touch up, he again followed up via phone call to make sure I was 100% happy. He genuinely cares about his work and his patients, something that is hard to find nowadays. I would without hesitation recommend any and all of my friends to Dr. Zoumalan, I myself am looking forward to my next appointment.

Dr.Richard Zoumalan is an outstanding surgeon with state-of-the-art skills. He is able to inject Juvederm masterfully with no bruising and no track marks. He has techniques unlike any other surgeon I know. You can’t even feel the needle! And he’s so delightful.

“Google User”.

If you need to be taken care of in your facial cosmetic – it’s the place to land, in the hands of Doctor Zoumalan. You will be amazed after all.
Sincere, visionary communication for your understanding of the upcoming time before and after the surgery.
Your vision becomes complete in Doctor Zoumalan’s hands. You will forget it was ever different before, which will make you most pleased.
The lead for my procedure was Doctor Christopher Zoumalan, his brother Doctor Richard Zoumalan joining the team as they work together in some of the procedures to “complete the perfection” in the individual areas. I feel very fortunate, as they are both great professionals – artists, masters of their craft.
My experience is very complete, throughout the visits and the surgery. Everything was easy and smooth.
I am very happy with the outcome after all! I would definitely do it again!

I have received nothing but compliments on how good my nose looks I’m soo glad I chose him as my surgeon and recommend him to everyone he did exactly what I asked for and exceeded my expectations ! I am beyond happy
Thank you dr Zoumalan & staff !

Megann R.

It’s been officially 6 months since I had my rhinoplasty and septoplasty surgery with Dr Zoumalan and words can not express how happy I am. When I decided 6 months ago to get rhinoplasty, I extensively researched all the doctors in LA and to be honest I used Yelp as one of my main sources as I didn’t know anyone personally that could give me a reference. I immediately felt comfortable with Dr Zoumalan from my first consultation with him. I honestly thought I’d just show him pictures of noses that I liked. But instead, his craft is constructing the nose to fit your facial features. It’s truly an art form in order for it to not look like a typical nose job. Dr Zoumalan is very meticulous to ensure what he changes is what’s best for your face. Everyone I know has responded saying how natural my nose looks. It’s truly perfect. And I can breathe better since he found during my consultation that I had a deviated septum which he fixed during surgery. The entire office staff is very kind. And Dr Zoumalan walks you through the entire process answering all your questions. I never had a doubt in my mind in choosing Dr Zoumalan as I could tell that he has mastered this art and is extremely attentive and caring. I had never had surgery of any kind before, but I knew I was in the best hands. Thank you for everything Dr Zoumalan!!

Kira M.

After undergoing Septoplasty and Rhinoplasty, I could not be happier with my results. Dr. Zoumalan has a true knack for achieving the natural look. I have many friends who have underwent the same surgeries with different surgeons and I have never seen results that compare to those of Dr. Zoumalan’s. I have received countless compliments on my nose and everyone comments on how natural it looks. I also cannot say enough about Dr. Zoumalan’s office staff. They made me feel extremely comfortable and took the time to explain every step of the process to me. Anytime I called in with a question, they were quickly responsive. The staff was also very accommodating to my busy work schedule. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Zoumalan to all my family and friends. He is simply the best!

B. L.

I can not begin to explain how amazing, professional, and conservative Dr. Zoumalan is with his treatment. He is the best, and as a healthcare professional myself, I can say that you will be well taken care of and will also receive the best treatment. I was referred to him by one of my patients who worked with Dr. Zoumalan and I did all my research as well. I got a rhinoplasty and septoplasty done and it looks so natural. I am about 3 months from my surgery date and all bruising went away within 10 days of my surgery date. Quick recovery and its looking better every day! I am very fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Richard Zoumalan. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. You are in great hands with him and his accommodating staff. Last but not least, I can not fail to mention when Dr. Zoumalan took the time to see me and was even late to his meeting making sure that his patients come first! Thank you again.

Jennifer H.

Going with Dr. Richard Zoumalan for my facelift was the best decision I ever made.
It’s Beverly Hills location, the Beverly Hills experience and the Beverly Hills results, but NOT the Beverly Hills prices. My facelift cost the same as anywhere else and I look fantastic!

I am 56, always took care of myself and kept in shape. I’m not one to be afraid of a few wrinkles, but after age 50 I went from ‘hmmm…matronly’ to ‘acck! are those turkey wattles?’.

Dr Z and his staff were low key and helpful, he showed me the various options and what I could expect from them, and did not push extra procedures. I wanted a lower face and neck lift. He calmed my doubts about general anesthesia, which was something I had never undergone.

Well, he set the clock back an easy 12-15 years! Everything looks completely natural – needless to say the one thing I didn’t want was a generically ‘done’, stretched out face. I look like myself, only years younger. There were no scars, at least none that I have found. My friends and acquaintances think I look great and when I admit to plastic surgery they immediately want to know the name of my surgeon!

10 stars to Dr Zoumalan!

Barbie P.

Dr. Zoumalan is not only an excellent surgeon, but a very kind and caring person. I had a face and neck lift on December 3, 2014, and I am thrilled with my result. He was very patient with all my questions and concerns, both pre-op and post-op. HIs office staff are friendly and welcoming. I respect his honesty and integrity. He is the best!

Carol B.

Dr. Zoumalan is the best – If I could give him 10 stars, I would! He corrected a breathing problem that has been bothering me my entire life, straightened out my nose and refined the tip during the process. I am SO beyond pleased with the results and I’ll continue to see Dr. Zoumalan for all things related to the face. I couldn’t have made a better decision – the only regret I have is not doing this years ago. He has amazing bedside manner and made the entire process very easy.

Brittany H.

Dr.Dreamy, I mean Zoumalan was such a nice professional doctor. I only got a touch of botox but he took his time and did an amazing job! I will be back soon and will send many clients your way !

Tara M.

Miracle worker would be an accurate description of Dr. Richard Zoumalan being that he performs non-invasive rhinoplasty that is not only painless, but took an hour, and corrected a problem that had bothered me for almost 30 years. If I didn’t see it for myself, I would have never believed it and I couldn’t be happier.

I had a botched nose job when I was 16 from a doctor that performed a surgical rhinoplasty to correct a breathing issue. The surgeon left me with a bridge of my nose that was that sloped dramatically, giving me a “pug” nose that lacked definition and symmetry. Like most people, I didn’t want to have surgery, and put an implant in which could become infected and is painful. I looked for alternatives and found perfect reviews for Dr. Richard Zoumalan and called his office.

You will find, like I did, that his staff is light-hearted, kind, caring and extremely knowledgeable. It was simple to schedule an appointment with his office, and I was in within 4 days. The FIRST day I was in his office, a patient came in who had a face lift and was smiling letting the staff know how thrilled she was with the procedure. Next, a patient walked in who said “Everyone keeps asking, what looks different – because you look the best I have ever seen” That did it for me. I witnessed two patients in 10 minutes who made a point to express their gratitude for a job well done by Dr. Richard Zoumalan.

I met with Dr. Zoumalan who has more awards, accolades, and published articles from Major Medical Journals than any Doctor I have ever see – this man knows his stuff! He is also an artist (his art is on the walls), so he really sees the face through an artists eye which is very important to me – I knew I would be more than a technical “job”. Dr. Zoumalan explained he could give me the results I want with a “filler” and I would see the results immediately.

He was right. After some local numbing, and a little hand holding by his staff :), he began the injections and I was very pleased to learn that not only did it not hurt, but it only took about 30 minutes to perform. There was some minor swelling, but nothing that hurt or was uncomfortable – You feel a little pressure from the injection, but that is really it – the MOST I felt was a tiny pinch, and I am a huge wimp! When I looked in the mirror, my nose was just the way I always imaged it and I was thrilled!

Dr. Zoumalan has incredible bedside manner, and explains everything along the way so you feel confident about the procedure. I could drive right after, and honestly, getting a blood test was more painful. I am SO HAPPY with the results and if you are thinking about getting your nose fixed, or cheeks raised or anything at all with your face, you have to see this man – he will only do what he feels will work, and is one of the rare medical professionals these days that is as talented as he is ethical and kind.

5 Stars across the board!

Let me first say I am the last guy to think about getting a nose job. Until one day when I was playing with my kid he threw his head back and bam… My face (and breathing) was changed forever. While I didn’t care as much about the crookedness of my nose… I did care that I could only breathe out of one nostril. Randomly my wife’s cousin, who had recently gotten a rhinoplasty procedure, came over for dinner. When she saw my nose and heard my problems breathing she encouraged me to call Dr. Zoumalan and at least see if he could do anything for me. She said her rhinoplasty procedure went better than she could have ever hoped for… Long story short, I met with Dr Zoumalan and he really impressed me. I ended up getting my septum fixed and my nose realigned. Not only can I breathe clearly outta both nostrils now but I look like my old self. It’s exactly what I wanted… To not look like I just had a nose job. Dr Zoumalan was an awesome doc who did an awesome job, I can’t recommend him enough.

Mitch W.

Although i use yelp frequently, I’ve never felt the need to write my own review until now. I’ve wanted to get rhinoplasty since I was 10, but getting surgery scared me. More than 20 years later I finally felt I had to do it. My nose was very crooked (septum and tip). I had what you’d call a witches nose. After lots of research and 4 consultations with different doctors I chose Dr. Zoumalan. I am so happy I did! I can’t believe my nose is straight. I had septoplasty/rhinoplasty.

Here are the reasons I chose him: 1.) I found him the easiest to communicate with and felt he understood what I wanted. He listened to all my concerns and was honest with what was and was not possible. 2.) His work is very natural and I found his before and after pictures to have the best tip work which was one of my biggest concerns. 3) I was confident my breathing would not be compromised. 4) His staff/nurses were the most friendly. They also responded promptly to emails.

It’s been 2 months since my surgery. I still have some swelling to go, but it looks great! I’m relieved I picked the right doctor. My family is also very happy with my results. My mom likes to show everyone pictures on her phone of my new nose.

Had to get surgery after a very bad nasal fracture. Great doctor. Confident and down to earth. Always available for questions and consultations pre and post surgery. The office staff is fantastic as well.

I could not ask anything more of the charming Dr. Rich and his incredible staff. As someone with a major phobia of all things medical, I admittedly am not the easiest of patients and require major metaphorical hand-holding. Dr. Rich made me feel completely at ease every step of the way and I am so pleased with my results. I would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends.

Look no further, Dr. Zoumalan and his wonderful staff genuinely care about your happiness and the results you want!! Bottom line is, I feel I really lucked out with this decision. He came recommended by a friend of my dentists’ wife (who she claims looks amazing) and I thought I’d give it a try. Price was right (highly competitive) and the results were fantastic. I felt he listened to me and was never treated like a patient on a conveyor belt, ready to get on to the next person. Like others have mentioned, you really get the rock star treatment here. No attitude whatsoever (we are in LA right?) really great people treated me like long lost family which adds to the healing experience. Really loved the staff and Dr. Z – thanks so much I will see you in 20 yrs when I am in need a neck lift! 🙂

After 7 years of going back and forth about getting a Rhinoplasty and looking up COUNTLESS surgeons, I finally found Dr. Zoumalan and decided to book a consultation. He had a before and after photo posted on his website of a girl with a crooked nose (much like my problem) and the after photo was amazing. From the moment I walked in everyone was so warm and welcoming, which helped to ease my nerves.

I met with Dr. Zoumalan and I knew this was who I wanted to go with, and actually booked my surgery that day for about three weeks out. His bedside manner is impeccable and warm, so rare for most doctors I have encountered over the years.
My results are awesome!! It can be hard with facial surgery to let the swelling take its course, but now a little over 2 months post op, I can see a huge difference I am so happy I chose to do the procedure with Dr. Zoumalan.

My husband and I just had our wedding celebration and receiving all the photos has confirmed my decision and my choice of Dr.

I’m not one for throwing my secrets out there.. but, Dr. Zoumalan deserves a serious review. There are far more well-known plastic surgeons out there but Dr.Z is a diamond in the rough. He takes what could be a simple procedure like a lip injection and turns it into an art form. Many doctors do lips but not many actually inject your lips with incredible precision to make sure the shape and look compliments your face… all of this while keeping your upmost safety in mind. Dr.Z is honest and won’t do a procedure that you do not need. He is the perfect example of what happens when you combine a naturally artistic individual with ethics and an extensive medical background…. he’s the rare doctor that has the ability to tap into his left and right brain equally. Yeah, he’s awesome.

Yvette A.

I wanted to write this to thank Dr. Zoumalan for the wonderful care he provided for a family friend’s facelift and necklift.

She is really private, but I feel like Dr. Zoumalan deserves some sort of recognition for his care and his result.

I referred her to him because I have known him for some time and have seen his results. She had been very happy with non surgical things such as fillers and botox by him and then finally did the surgery. I can tell you that she is thrilled with the result. Ironically as a result, I am sort of a hero for referring her, because she keeps thanking me as well. She looks great, and I am glad I trusted him with her care.

Patrick J.

Dr. Zoumalan has to be one of the best doctors I’ve had. Not only was he professional and very kind, he was able to perform a very successful surgery on me. I had a rhinoplasty, septoplasty, and turbinates reduction and I feel so much better. I requested that he performs a subtle change to my profile and to correct the shape of my bridge, which appeared to have caved in to the side. His work is beautiful and he knows how to achieve a natural look. Not only was he great, but also his staff. His nurses were extremely nice and so was the office manager Danielle. I was so lucky to have found him online and I’m glad to have trusted in him. Dr. Zoumalan is definitely the surgeon you would want to operate on you because he has the artistic knowledge to sculpt the face in a way that looks natural and satisfying. Not only is he a great surgeon, he’s also a great painter!

This review is long overdue. Dr. Richard Zoumalan has to be the greatest surgeon in Beverly Hills. I did an extensive amount of due diligence before choosing both him and his brother Chris (who is an eye specialist) to do a very serious surgery I needed to get done. They make a wonderful team together and just compliment each other really well.

They are nothing but gentlemen and truly masters of their art. As a matter of fact, I was treated like family. I owe them a great deal of gratitude for everything they did.

They take their practice very seriously and use all of the latest equipment but they are also very personable and you can tell that they really care and are extremely passionate about what they do.

Same goes for the office staff. I couldn’t have been more pleased. Highly, highly recommended!

Allen A.

Excuse me… Where is the 10 Star choice?! I am a very picky particular person & knew the moment I met Dr. Richard Zoumalan that he was just the person to help me.

I normally wouldn’t even write about something so personal as surgery on the internet, but people deserve to know he is the best because it is your health; your life!

I have played soccer competitively since I was 5. I played NAIA College soccer, played in Europe, played a season of SemiPro, & continue to stay active in adult leagues. Over the years my nose became less and less symmetrical from the profile view. With multiple deviations in my septum and an out or control bone spur growing in both directions. This not only looked bad but my air passages felt “no bueno” as well.

I had met with multiple doctors. They weren’t getting it from a cosmetic standpoint. I wanted to look more symmetrical, but still exactly like me. I just wanted the breathing better and to look like my “good side” from every angle.

Seriously, whoever is reading this: My nose is perfect! Do not settle on your surgeon. Dr. Zoumalan is amazing, caring, professional, & the results are what you want. On top of it I can breath great! My nose looks neater and better but my nostrils feel wider and function better. I have some friends that had just cosmetic nose jobs and say they breathe worse 🙁 yuck. Go to Dr. Zoumalan 🙂 He is both medical and cosmetic so insurance can be used in situations that involve medical as well like mine! Look great and feel good; do yourself a favor and pick the right surgeon. Thank you Dr. Richard Zoumalan! You are so awesome.

Grace K.

Just want to give an update to my review since my procedure was done last year. I have gotten so many compliments on my nose. I have been able to breathe and sleep much better since the procedure. I have even referred friends and even strangers to Dr. Zoumalan! Everyone has only positive experiences. I’m so thankful I found such a brilliant doctor!

Jennifer S.

Plastic Surgeons want to be him… Patients want to be with him….

“Dr. Z”, as I know him, has been performing top shelf rhinoplasty procedures and in the Hills of Beverly since before the average thirty something trophy wife learned that an active disdain for carbs was as integral to survival as looking both ways before crossing the street.

Dr Z enjoys a well-earned reputation as gifted surgeon among his peers–as a result he is often on the receiving end of referrals from his peers who have not yet attained his technical abilities or lack the experience with complex procedures.

Most important of all his patients love his bedside manner and concern for their genuine well-being. He’s the type of doc who makes people feel comfortable instantly and gives them the help to make well-informed decisions.

Need not pray to heaven for guidance if you need a premiere facial plastic surgeon , your destiny with Dr Z has already been written in Yelp Stars!

I had a severe deviated septum which caused breathing problems, snoring and cosmetic deformity (My nose twisted to one side). I went to a few different doctors but Dr. Zoumalan was by far my favorite. He was honest and had the confidence to not only fix my nose cosmetically but fix the broken deviated septum and resolve my breathing problems.

I was nervous to undergo the surgery but he made me comfortable through the entire process. He’s extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the nose! Most doctors just use big words when describing the procedures, but Dr. Zoumalan made the process easier for me to understand. He sent me informative pre-procedure, and post procedure instructions and said if I followed everything exactly my recovery would be easier and quicker. He followed up with me the same evening of surgery to see how I was feeling and followed up with me numerous other times to check on how the recovery was.

I thought the recovery was going to be way worse than what I actually experienced. I was back at work the following week and had very little swelling. It’s now been 9 months since my surgery and I’m extremely happy with my new nose. I can finally breathe again. (I forgot what that felt like for the past 10 years.) My nose looks great, it’s no longer crooked and my wife said the snoring has stopped! I’m more than happy and satisfied with the results. I’ve received overwhelming positive comments and feedback from my family and friends and I’ve even referred a friend who will be getting the same procedure done next month.

Dr. Zoumalan is all around the best Rhinoplasty doctor in Southern California. Believe me I shopped around and compared a ton of different doctors in L.A before deciding to go with Dr. Zoumalan.

Thank you for everything, I couldn’t be happier.

My 17 year old daughter underwent a rhinoplasty, septoplasty and nasal turbinate reduction as well as an excision of a birthmark from her scalp. At one month, she appears completely healed. I feel so fortunate that Dr. Richard Zoumalan was her surgeon. She is so happy now and smiles nearly all of the time. She can finally breathe through her nose and even sleeps better. Her nose looks great from every angle and suits her face so well. The result of the surgery is better than I could have imagined. Her appearance is so natural that it is already difficult to remember what her nose looked like before! Her scalp also has healed beautifully, and she has started wearing her hair up because she is no longer self conscious. The post operative recovery was very smooth and much quicker than I expected.

As a parent and physician, it was an agonizing decision in terms of whether and at what age to have the surgery. That being said, when I met Dr. Zoumalan, I immediately felt confident and knew that he would do the nose and scalp procedures with great skill and attention to detail. It was also comforting that he is trained in both otolaryngology and facial plastic surgery. He has great communication skills and totally understood what my daughter wanted. He seemed to have a vision of precisely what needed to be done.

My wife and I are so grateful and highly recommend him. He also has a great office staff, both caring and efficient. They really held our hands throughout the process. We cannot thank him enough.

Keith G.

I am so happy that I went to Dr. Rich Zoumalan for my septoplasty and rhinoplasty. I could seriously not be happier with my results, and I feel so lucky that I went to him and got it right my first time going under.

I had a deviated septum that has obviously always been annoying. I had a few minor cosmetic issues I wanted to fix with my nose as well, I wanted the tip refined, but wanted to look as natural as possible. I was so afraid to bite the bullet and get it done because I did not want to look “plastic.” When I went in for my consultation with Dr. Zoumalan, I felt way less skeptical. He really seemed to know his stuff, and I found out he has an ENT background as well. I got the feel that he actually cares for his patients and their well-being, rather than being just another patient down the factory line, if you will.

I am at one month post-op right now, and even though I am still new out of surgery, I can breathe better already. I am almost fully healed. And most importantly, my nose looks AMAZING! It’s EXACTLY what I wanted! Nobody would ever be able to tell I have had a “nose job”, yet my face and my features look sooo much better, not to mention my side profile in pictures is near absolute perfection.

Also, his staff is great. His medical assistant, I believe her name is Danielle, is very nice and thorough. Dr. Zoumalan also has a good sense of humor and helps his patients feel comfortable–the day I was going in for surgery, I was going in for a few procedures and it was my first time going under…I was being a baby and crying. Whatever he said to me in my half drugged up state before putting that sleeping mask on made me feel a lot better, haha. He is personable and professional. I literally cannot recommend him enough!

Serena C.

I came to Dr. Zoumalan for a rhinoplasty. He is a great and caring doctor. He explained everything about the procedure thoroughly which made me feel very comfortable. I’m very happy with my results and I highly recommend him.

Bretiel B.

My experience with Dr. Zoumalan and his staff was simply amazing. In went in not really certain of what I wanted, left feeling wonderful. Dr. Zoumalan and his staff made me feel very comfortable and made this process smooth. Thank You So Much!!

Kelvin M.

It’s been a year since my nasal reconstruction, and I wanted to write an update to say how fantastic the results are. My nose has healed beautifully — people are astounded when I tell them that the hole was the size of a quarter after the basal cell cancer was removed. But Dr. Zoumalan deftly and creatively employed techniques that he uses in rhinoplasty to achieve optimal results for this type of nose surgery. This really helped with the healing, especially since the cancer was located on the tip of my nose.
My surgery was Valentine’s Day last year, and visiting the office again for my check-up, I felt like I was visiting old friends. Thank you for your friendly staff, your excellent work and my beautiful nose — healed and looking just like my old nose, exactly what I wanted!
P.S. I still am so thrilled with your location, and the easy and FREE parking!

Laura G.

“I can’t even express how grateful I am for Dr. Zoumalan. My husband saw him for a rhinoplasty because he was having breathing problems. Dr. Zoumalan indicated that he needed a septoplasty and turbinates reduction to help with that. Because my husband was doing the functional part of rhinoplasty, he figured he should do the cosmetic portion as well. He was so skeptical about doing it, because being a male, he didn’t want it to look so obvious and feminine. Dr. Zoumalan reassured him that he would shape the nose to make it look masculine. He even took pictures to project how my husband wanted to look. When it was all said and done, my husband and I couldn’t believe of how amazing he looked. It looks so natural and not too obvious. Dr. Zoumalan did an incredible job. He gave my husband the nose that he always wanted, and he can breathe better too. I would highly recommend him to anyone. “

Alisha L.

Apart from being a super nice guy, Dr. Zoumalan, Richard, is a genius. He performed near-total nasal reconstruction for skin cancer (using rhinoplasty techniques). He used skin from the forehead (forehead flap) to recreate the nose after most of the nose and surrounding area was surgically removed by Mohs excision by the dermatologist. Dr. Zoumalan combined reconstructive techniques used in Plastic Surgery as well as cosmetic techniques used in rhinoplasty to reconstruct the nose and face. He went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly, and after just 3 months, you can hardly tell I had any surgery. It’s amazing, I thought I’d lost my face forever, but somehow, I look like me again, perhaps a wee bit better. I can’t thank him enough for all his hard work. When someone is working on your face, you want a perfectionist and he is that. Thank you ‘Doc’, if you read this, you have a fan for life.
All the best, James

Nina H.

Love, love, love Dr. Richard and Christopher Zoumalan and their entire staff! I am a true testimony to their caring and expertise. My reconstructive cancer surgery was a success! Thank you both for everything!

Marie E.

Visited Dr. Zoumalan Again!

This time Dr Zoumalan closed two large wounds from a dual skin cancer excision on my cheek. Each excavated site was about the size of a nickel and very deep. Prior to closing these wounds I feared the scars would be huge and obvious. It has been one month since the surgery and you cannot tell I had any surgery. Note, these “holes in my cheek” were too big for the Dermatologist to close which is why I went to Dr. Z.

If you are considering any surgery on your face I cannot recommend Dr Zoumalan enough – he truly is a miracle worker. If in doubt, please ask Dr Z to show you the before and after pictures – I have given him permission to show them. And by the way, the level of professionalism in the entire office is second to none.

Thank you Dr. Z.

Mike G.

Dr. Richard Zoumlan is a life saver. I have had several skin cancers over the past 10 years, last year I had 2 major skin cancers on my nose. My Dermatologist was able to cut both of them off, within 5 months of each other, but he suggested I get a Plastic Surgeon to repair the damage as it was very deep and ended up almost on top of each other. I was lucky to be recommended to Dr. Zoumalan by a good friend who had just had their eyes surgery.
Dr. Zoumlan was able to close the hole in my nose, cut a flap and sew it up without damage to my eye or shape of my nose. Unfortunately, within 5 months another skin cancer surfaced, much deeper and right on the stitch line, this created a huge problem, but Dr. Zoumlan once again devised a flap and stitch line that make that hole disappear. Now 3 months later, my best friends can’t even detect a scar or any damage. I feel extremely lucky to have found Dr. Zoumlan and couldn’t give him a higher recommendation. Even my Dermatologist said, Dr. Zoumlan is an artist and he is recommending his patients to him too.

I now have someone I have complete confidence in to help me with any future issues.

I was injured on January 7, 2012 in a mo-ped/scooter accident in Cozumel, Mexico. My entire body head to toe (literally) endured horrendous road rash, my nose broke & plenty more. The level of care I received from dr Zoumalan & his entire office was/is truly indescribable but I shall try! They began by monitoring my progress over the course of a few months as my skin was fragile (?) due to the recent healing. Each visit, Dr Zoumalan noted the thickness of skin on my nose as it required strength to perform surgery. On November 19, 2012 I had a Rhinoplasty with rib skin grafting at the summit surgical center in Beverly Hills. My recovery went really well, the entire office tended to my every random requests & unnecessary paranoid questions/concerns. It’s now been a year since my surgery & I’m slightly obsessed with how cute & small my nose is while it’s a perfect suit to my face!

Veronica K.

After my initial meeting with Dr. Zoumalan and staff, I knew that my search for the perfect surgeon was over. Throughout the entire process of my surgery, Dr. Z and staff never hesitated to go over in detail each question I had, and helped me remain calm and confident before and after my surgery. Dr. Z made himself available to me 24/7 after my surgery in case I had any concerns during my recovery. His attention to detail and updated knowledge on rhinoplasty techniques gave me a perfect nose and for that I am forever grateful. He not only cares about the shape of your nose but also makes sure to improve your breathing as well. I would highly recommend Dr. Zoumalan.

Jordan B.

I had a mini facelift performed by Dr. Zoumalan. I couldn’t be happier with the results!
I was concerned that I would have that “pulled back” look and not look like myself. Not only does it look great, I look like myself 15 years ago which are exactly the results I wanted. Dr. Zoumalan made me feel comfortable and at ease about the surgery and he is so very caring and compassionate. I would highly recommend Dr. Z to anyone who wants any kind of cosmetic surgery. He is one of the best!

Cathy S.

It’s been a year since my septoplasty and rhinoplasty and I am extremely happy with my results.

Not only has my breathing dramatically improved, I am sleeping better than ever. I feel healthier and it has significantly changed my exercise routine. I can definitely push myself harder and my workouts are longer and more efficient. Best part is I don’t get that winded feeling or stuffy or runny nose while running. I didn’t realize how many aspects of my life would change after the surgery.

I could not be happier with my rhinoplasty as well. I really have to say my nose is perfect. It is very straight, natural looking, and most importantly no hump. It compliments my natural features and I am constantly getting compliments on how cute my nose is.

After so many consults with other surgeons, I knew Dr.Zoumalan was the one for me. He made me feel extremely comfortable, spent so much time with me, answered all my questions with confidence and honesty. I also have to say his staff goes above and beyond and are always available.They really guided me through the process.

I highly recommend Dr.Zoumalan!

Lauren C.

Dr Zoumalan is great! Made me feel extremely comfortable, told me exactly what the procedure was and what to expect as the outcome. Didn’t keep me waiting or rush me to the door! Great office environment and even better results!!!

Mandi B.

I honestly could not be any happier, Dr Zoumalan turned my whole life around! I had so many issues before I decided to have my Rhino Surgery with Dr Z. My breathing was horrible, I had constant sinus infections, I had trouble sleeping, tasting, the list goes on. Not to mention the huge bump on my nose, which as a young female, was my “biggest issue.” Somehow, even though I had thousands of issues with my nose, I put it off for so long because I was so nervous about having surgery. After the worst episode of sinus infection, I started looking into finding a surgeon. I met a handful of surgeons, until I landed in the hands of Dr Zoumalan. He made me feel so confident about undergoing rhino surgery, he showed me a projection of how my nose would look, explained the whole surgery, and went into detail about what to expect. I went back to work 7 days after my surgery with little, to almost no sign of surgery, except for the fact that I had a beautiful nose and was already breathing about 80% better. Now, three months out, I can honestly say my breathing has gotten better by almost 100%. Thank you so much Dr Z!!!

Kandace J.

Dr. Zoumalan is an excellent surgeon and I will give him the highest of recommendations. My surgery went flawlessly and he took extra measures to ensure the success of my procedure. From beginning to end I was comfortable, informed, and confident I had made the right decision in my choice of surgeons. He is thorough, talented, and his bedside manner is unbeatable. This was my first surgery with Dr. Zoumalan, but it won’t be the last. I know exactly who to call in the future should I need additional care. In addition, he is VERY handsome as well!!

Kathy P.

I can not say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Zoumalan. I went to him for a Rhinoplasty in which I have been contemplating for several years. It wasn’t until I met with Dr. Zoumalan that I knew I was in the right hands. He was extremely kind and answered all my questions with ease. I was beyond satisfied with my results. My nose looks so natural. It was beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Dr. Zoumalan. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Christine B.

Dr. Zoumalan is an accomplished, dedicated and talented plastic surgeon who truly cares about his patients. My procedure requires several trips to his office and every time I am greeted with a warm, friendly and professional staff. I am halfway through the process and already see major improvements.

Prior to starting my procedure, Dr. Zoumalan took his time to thoroughly explain the procedure and the process involved for desired results. I had a clear understanding of what was involved and was fully comfortable with the plan he had tailored specifically to address my problem area. I walked out of the consultation without any hesitation to proceed with his recommendation and I am so grateful to him for all his help. Not only is he an amazing plastic surgeon, he is an incredible human being with a deep desire to help people. He is a kind and compassionate individual who genuinely cares about his patients. It only takes one meeting with him to know that he is very passionate about what he is doing and takes pride in his work. I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to Dr. Zoumalan for helping me. It goes without saying I would highly recommend him.

Lorina E.

Dr Zoumalan was intent on providing for and addressing all my questions and concerns, in a word astonishing. As a native to southern California, it’s almost impossible to escape the lour of the sunshine and all the outdoor activity. As an actor, when I discovered that I had skin cancer on my face naturally I was crushed. I never expected to be booked on a job within three months of the surgery, with a fresh scar on my cheek I thought I would be almost unhireable. Those fear were laid to rest in short order and within a year people can’t even see the scar that was in it’s origin over two inches long. Dr Zoumalan’s care, consideration and follow up has made such an impression on me that I intend to allow him to repair the ill effects of a deviated septum. Again, as someone who attempts to make their living on their face and smile, I can confidently say that I feel 100% “one hundred percent” confident for any future issues that may occur. I recommend Dr Zoumalan whole heatedly and as an individual who interviewed several doctors, I get great comfort knowing that I will not have to do that again. Thanks, Dr Zoumalan.

Dr. Zoumalan did fat transfer on me, and it was worth every penny. I am skinny with a skinny face, and I tried for years to get better cheek and temple shape with fillers and nothing worked. I spent thousands of dollars trying to find something that would last. I tried Juvederm, Perlane, Restylane, and nothing would stay. My dermatologist recommended me to have Dr. Zoumalan evaluate me for fat injections. I am thankful for this. He is a true artist (in more ways than one-he’s a painter too) and he put the perfect amount of fat everywhere. I am one year out, and I love what he has done. I look younger, and it looks and it feels natural. He took the fat from my belly and inner thighs. Even those areas look better…added bonus. So much more cost effective than all the fillers. And there was minimal to no downtime at all. Just a little swelling and a couple small bruises. So glad I went ahead with it.

Kayla S.

Dr. Zoumalan is a life saver, he has helped me beyond what anyone else could have done. Both my Dermatologist and my family can’t believe the wonderful job he has done repairing 2, count them 2 Skin Cancers on my nose within a 5 month period. I was extremely lucky to have been referred to Dr. Zoumalan by a friend of mine who had just undergone a similar surgery. My dermatologist was so impressed he is now recommending his patients for face surgery to Dr. Zoumalan. I consider myself very lucky to have found the Doctor and can’t recommend him any higher than this. He helped save my nose and my facial structure with a difficult surgery on top of another recent surgery, not an easy task. He is an artist of the face and the canvas.

Bob M.

I had a small skin tag on my neck that I wanted to have removed, but was nervous to do so because I’m uncomfortable with most local anesthetic procedures. I went to Dr. Richard Zoumalan, and the experience was significantly better than I had hoped it would be. He’s a very soothing doctor, walked and talked me through the whole thing, and it was over practically before I realized he was even doing anything. The skin tag is gone, and my neck looks like it was never even there. I will definitely be going back to Dr. Rich the next time I need anything taken care of. Oh, and the office and staff were both very attractive 😉

Ethan F.

Wow is all I can say! As a registered nurse and provider of cosmetic procedures myself, I am now referring all of my patients to Dr. Zoumalan.
I went for a consult for an earlobe repair after a mini face lift years ago. I ended up with pixie ears which led me to hide my ears as much as possible. Dr. Zoumalan’s confidence and personality sold me. He took his time explaining what the procedure involved, gave me options, and was well priced to boot.
The actual procedure was done in the office. Piece of cake! I was totally relaxed as his and his staff’s demeanor is kind, confident and approachable. The end result was perfect. His attention to detail was amazing. He is a perfectionist as am I.
I work in a high profile cosmetic dermatology office and hand out his business cards on a regular basis. I will continue to recommend him to anyone that desires to look their best!
And he is absolutely adorable!
