John A Vartanian, MD

I was promised results well after 3 time and additional money out of my pocket I am left disfigured very disappointed wish I never did cuz now I’m stuck with ugly outcome and
still paying for it.

I come here for botox injections, fantastic office and wonderful staff! Highly recommended

My mom has been mentioning that she would like some work/​fillers done before her birthday at the end of this month. After asking some friends, i was able to send my mom to 3 different Facial Plastic Surgeons and she chose Dr Vartanian.
As a former Ms, Ecuador, she was very pleased with her result. My mom likes that it doesn’t look like she has had any work at all. She will be turning 63 and looks and feels great.
As for the visit, she said that the staff was very professional and made her feel very comfortable.
Thank you for helping out my mom Dr Vartanian.

When you’re considering a plastic surgeon, you need to have some expectations.
Mine: Aptitude, Honesty, Confidence, and Passion.
I have been seeking Dr. Vartanian’s support in looking and feeling my best for over two years now. I am very pleased. Speaking from a male’s perspective, I was hesitant to seek out professional support when wanting to minimize my horizontal lines on my forehead and crow’s feet because I was fearful it would be TOO obvious «I’ve had something done.» However, after consulting with Dr. Vartanian, my fears were set at ease. I am no longer afraid to smile because others may see my crow’s feet! I love to smile! It was a shame I didn’t feel comfortable to greet people with my pearly whites for so long.
Dr. Vartanian and his support staff (especially Kat) definitely met and have exceeded my expectations! This has been my personal experience…
Aptitude– He and his staff know their craft and have demonstrated the skill set I expected.
Honesty– They will not withhold information with hopes you’ll do procedures AND will offer truthful advice.
Confidence– I have not felt unsure about recommendations he and his staff have offered. The Doctor exudes confidence in what he does and what he knows. I’m typically in and out in 30 minutes.
Passion– It is palpable Dr. Vartanian and his staff love what they do. This is very important!
Weather you’re a guy interested in looking his best and keeping it natural looking or a girl wanting to feel more beautiful and confident than ever, Dr. Vartanian will do his best for you. I have always said, «When I look good, I feel good.» When asked, I’m not ashamed to speak my truth and share with others that botox and my Doctor have helped me look and feel my best!

I always wanted to get a rhinoplasty done, but was so scared about the result. Then I found a friend who had rhinoplasty done by Dr. Vartanian and I loved the way her nose looks. The most important thing that it looks so NATURAL, if you didn’t know she had a surgery, you wouldn’t be able to tell that she had one.
So after a long research I decided to go with Dr. Vartanian.
My surgery went great, I didn’t have any complications. It took me less than a month for major swelling to go down. My nose turned out very nice and very natural! That’s all I could ask for.
Also, I should say that he and his staff are amazing. Very friendly and caring! Coming to their office, I feel like I’m a part of the family))
Thank you, Dr. Vartanian, Katherine and Natalie! You are amazing!

Dr Vartanian is a true genius & master of his craft. I am so happy with the results every I visit his office. Not only does he have a masterful hand, he also has a way of putting me at ease.
Him & his entire staff go above & beyond to make their patients comfortable, because let’s face it needles are never something we look forward too.
Ive never left his office looking «over done». The purpose of fillers is to retain your youth… he does that splendidly.
Thank Dr Vartanian & team!

I don’t think it’s possible to stress how scared I am of doctors, needles, ESPECIALLY surgery. My nose was something that I was self conscious about since a young age. I knew that if I wanted to be as happy as I could be, I would need to undergo Rhinoplasty. After extensive searches and scrolling through thousand of reviews, I found Dr. Vartanian. From the moment I met him, I knew he was the doctor for me. He is so confident in his work, and he will never lie to you to get more money out of you (like most doctors do.) Because I had such a bad nose, he told me that it will never be a movie star nose, if I still wanted to breathe.
The day of the surgery went so smooth. I was a nervous wreck, but the second I saw Dr. Vartanian I was immediatly confident that I was going to be okay! The anesthesiologist was GREAT at what he does. I woke up calm, minimal pain, not too hot or too cold, and so so relieved. I am still waiting to see the final results, but I know that they are going to be great. As for the staff, KATHERINE KATHERINE KATHERINE! I can not stress that enough. She went above and beyond to help my family and I will all of the financial issues prior to the surgery, and was there for us every time we had a question. She truly is the best. Don’t get me wrong though, all the girls are sweet and so helpful! They take such great care of you and make sure you are as comfortable as possible. If you are considering a rhinoplasty procedure, please please please go with Dr. Vartanian. He transformed me into the happy confident girl that was always hidden behind my nose. Cast is off and I couldn’t be more thrilled. It is a day of anxiety for a lifetime of happiness. THANK YOU Dr. Vartanian and staff!

I have to say. I have had a wonderful experience here. The office staff is so friendly and warm. Dr. Vartanian is one in a million. I am referring all my friends here!

There are soo many wonderful things to say about Dr. Vartanian. First off, he probably has one of the most kindest and caring bedside manners a doctor can have. Throughout my pre and post-​op, he was available, informative and genuinely kind to all my questions, sensitivities and desired results.
In addition, he’s kind of an amazing miracle worker! I had severe breathing issues that caused me to sleep with my mouth open my entire life, which not only is uncomfortable but bad for my oral health. He was able to completely clear the nasal obstructions while also making me more aesthetically pleasing by removing the bump on the bridge and straightening it and I’m happy to say I sleep with my mouth closed now! Thank God! And thanks to him I have a perfect cute little properly functioning nose!
I wish I could give him a million stars. He changed my life and I’m so incredibly thankful!

I got a call and they advised me that they will ensure everything comes out well

I am the pickiest and most indecisive person you will ever meet in your life. I have been talking about doing my nose since I was 13 years old I am now 26 as I inherited the middle eastern hump. I have been to every surgeon you can think of for a consultation for my nose, spent thousands in consultations — in London I went to all of the top nose surgeons, eg. Barry Jones /​basim matti — I went to other surgeons in LA and none compare to Dr Vartanian. I wanted a Dr that only specialised in faces, I didn’t want someone that did boobs and bums to work on my nose. & Dr Vartanian is the perfect doctor for that.
He went above and beyond to have a consultation with me, and we tried communicating via email and Skype as I was in the UK. After the first consultation I fell in love. I flew all the way from the UK so that he could perform the surgery — that’s how much I fell in love with his thinking. He is not greedy or money hungry, and doesn’t want to get as many clients as possible — he simply wants to give you the best outcome possible whilst ensuring that your breathing is not affected or in my case he enhanced it by removing my deviated septum. I spoke to Dr Vladamir who added another $ 2000 just to remove the deviated septum (who by the way I wouldn’t trust with even painting my toe nail)
I went into surgery with an open mind because you can’t expect perfection with things like this. I did my nose on Thursday 10^th December 2015 & took the cast of yesterday and I got beyond perfection for me. I absolutely LOVE my nose & imagine it’s only been the first day so I’m still swollen.
He gave me the most natural alterations to my nose — He removed my hump and reduced the tip. He can take up to 3 hours in Surgery (other Drs take 45 mins because they just go in and give everyone the same nose) dr vartanian to 1 hour 45 mins on my nose, he’s an absolute perfectionist.
If you want the best nose to suit your face, not a fake looking nose, with the most amazing surgeon you can think of — please please go to dr vartanian.
His whole team is amazing — and they really do believe in him — doesn’t that tell you something? Thank you so much ladies for everything, and for your patience — thank you to Kathy for going above and beyond for me. You guys are the best!
I don’t wanna put my picture up but if you’d like pictures I’ll be more than happy to help.
I’m definitely going back to dr vartanian for any facial cosmetic needs.

I wish I could give him 10 stars. He is an absolute magician. I came in with the worst breathing problem you can imagine and got an appointment within 2 weeks, which was great for me cause I was getting worse each day. His staff was so friendly and energetic. He himself is so approachable and knowledgeable. He was the first doctor to be able to immediately look at me and tell me what was wrong.
I can finally breathe and on top of that, he cosmetically fixed my nose. I’m pretty swollen so I can’t tell what the end result will look like but I can already see the differences, and the most important being that I can breathe. I cannot thank you enough for fixing this problem. I can’t wait to see the end result.

Absolutely love my result. Dr Vartanian changed my life, and my face :) he truly is an artist and amazing Doctor! My only regret was not finding him sooner. I absolutely love the office staff, Katherine is amazing and I love her! She has the best personality, super helpful, and made me feel at ease through the whole process. Every time I called and went in for a checkup I got the best service. Jamie is also wonderful her and Katherine treated me with such great care at every appointment. Dr Vartanian is very talented, and knowledgable I felt like i was in great hands from the first time I met him. I’m so happy I followed my intuition and chose him to do my surgery. Not only does my nose look amazing and natural I can breath so much better. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking about having rhinoplasty because he is simply the best one to go to! My surgery was such a breeze I never felt any pain at all. I only felt uncomfortable the first week because I was swollen and stuffed up but everything was well worth it. What else can I say but thank you to Dr Vartanian!

Decided to try (yet another) new treatment at Dr. Vartanians office and I’m SO pleased I decided to write another review. I don’t know about you but I love reading reviews before getting any kind of service, especially on my face. So I think it’s important to really share my experience :)
Under my eyes had become really hollow and starting to get darker so made an appointment to see what I could do. Dr Vartanian recommended using a mixture of belotero and restylane with a technique that doesn’t bruise. He basically makes one poke with a long needle and uses that one needle to fill the whole area vs making multiple pokes to fill the area. So he put on some numbing cream. Then injected a numbing injection (that hurt just a little bit but after that I was totally numb) and started the procedure.
I can’t tell you enough how happy I am with the results. My face looks SO much more youthful, well rested, and kinda lifted in such a natural subtle way. (I’m not okay with the injected looked, I want to look better «naturally» lol) I always get SO nervous before getting injected and Dr V and his staff are always so patient and calm with me. I really appreciate that! I’m not shy to injections and facial treatments and I can tell you that this under eye injection is probably the best treatment I’ve ever done. It makes the worlds difference and no one can ever tell you’ve done anything at all. (In the hands of the right doctor of course) You just look rested! I’ll post pictures soon! Thank you again Dr Vartanian :)
And again thank you to the staff! Those girls are the best team I’ve seen at any office!

–I am a 30 year old male that had a flawless experience with Dr. Vartanian.
–My experience dated back in June. I had a deviated septum (crooked nose).
–The procedure went smoothly, and the pain was minimal. I was prescribed painkillers and didn’t need them. My breathing is MUCH better.
–Dr.Vartanian knows what he’s doing and knows the ideal nose based on your face/​skull structure. Safety is his number one priority and he takes pride in his work.
–The staff is professional and incredibly nice. They are polite and do their best in following up with you.

He’s an amazing doctor and great with fillers! Dr. Vartanian specializes in just the neck up and I love the way he does my cheekbones and botox. Thanks Dr. Vartanian and his staff for making me feel at home.

For me the surgery was not a cosmetic success at all. I can breath better but esthetically, I do not like the changes that were made or the «personality» of this new nose. Period. As I have mentioned multiple times, I did not request the type of «minor nasal cosmetic changes» that were made= I believe there were a number of miscommunications. In reflection I can think of a number of times where I believe I was misheard.
I do not feel enough time was spent with me before surgery (in my case the whole process was rushed since I was only in california for a short time if you recall)… as my «goals and desires» were clearly not understood. I take offense at you telling me that you aren’t a «mind reader» but I do think the communication was not good prior to surgery (I consider this to be no ones fault particularly– its just a fact that we were not communicating clearly and there were clearly a number of misunderstandings). I wish I had been encouraged to do multiple consultations with different doctors or to not even do the surgery at all until I had more time. Or, I wish it was stressed to me how much was at stake and how risky any further revisions actually are.
I have articulately detailed the things that were changed about my nose (that i do not like) in person and in an email including the loss of projection, slight polly beak deformity, too much narrowing towards the tip, uneven nasal bones (I needed this addressed), slightly twisted tip and a slight dimpling under the nose as well as more of my nostrils being visible (and uneven) — as well as the loss of a strong bridge and a shortened appearance to my nose– all these tiny changes add up to a very different nose all in all. I know this because I see myself in the mirror every day! I did not receive a response to my last detailed email or a an email with referrals to other «surgeons or health professionals» I requested.
I have already visited the office 4 times post surg and have had a number of phone conversations and email exchanges regarding my outcome. I have not been out of touch and I don’t see the point in coming into the office again when I feel like my opinions (about my own nose) are not heard and instead it becomes an ongoing disagreement.
It pretty much adds insult to injury to not be happy with an outcome (I liked my nose before aside from breathing issues– I don’t like this nose… its pretty clear cut issue) and then to have your concerns minimized and disregarded by your doctor. I even feel like you have called me delusional and questioned my sanity.
Anyways this was my experience. Im not sure what can be done about it now. I regret this decision and I have to live with it. Period.

Been a patient of John Vartanian MD for over 4years. The best facial plastic surgeon in his field. Many of those closest to me I have had him do their procedures. Everyone has been successful and changed their lives for the better. The most caring office staff and nurses. Kat, Pauline, Jaime and Natalie make you feel at ease and so helpful.

I am very pleased with Dr. Vartanian and his staff. Each and every time I go in for my appointments, or even call to just ask a question, I get treated with kindness and respect.
Dr. Vartanian himself is a very skilled and knowledgeable facial plastic surgeon. He’s very honest and gentle, and has never recommended anything that he believed was unnecessary for me. His work is precise and thorough, producing an outcome of a natural look. He takes the time to listen to his patients and their concerns. I remember my consultation almost a year ago; I was so nervous and took such a long time to go through with what I had came in for. Dr. Vartanian had given me all the time I needed to be mentally prepared, and he was never pushy or impatient with me. My confidence in Dr. Vartanian’s work is what keeps me happily coming back.
I also have to say that Jamie’s IPL photo facials are wonderful! Thanks to the treatments and recommendations from Jamie, my skin has never looked or felt better.
Like Jamie, Kat is also very professional and courteous; I always enjoy seeing her in the office. And of course, Natalie treats me with great consideration every time.
I truly believe Dr. Vartanian’s office is one of LA’s hidden gems. I couldn’t be more appreciative!

I have been coming to Dr. Vartanian for over 5 years now. There is no other doctor I can trust with my face. I have referred all of my friends and family to him because there is no other doctor that can do what he does.
He is great with injections and I’m very happy
His staff is the sweetest and kindest. The office is a very pleasant place to be. I highly recommend Dr. Vartanian for all facial plastic surgery and cosmetic needs
