Christopher I Zoumalan, MD, FACS

I had my first consultation and very excited and feel 100 percent he is the one for me to have upper lids done my 2 nd time. Professional I felt like I will be in great hands excited to book and do this

I have dealt with many doctors in my day, and I can honestly say that Dr. Zoumalan is as good as it gets! I had extra skin on my eyelids and came to him for an upper eyelid blepharoplasty surgery. His bedside manner and personality during our consultation sold me, and my surgery could not have gone more smoothly.
During my surgery, I was awake with only local anesthesia. I was understandably nervous, but Dr. Zoumalan and his wonderful staff put me at ease. Turns out I had nothing to worry about, as not only did I feel no pain during the surgery, but I needed no pain meds afterwards!
The office is very thorough in explaining post-​op care, and they were very accommodating whenever I would call with questions.
And the most important part:
My eyes look fabulous! They look exactly as I had hoped. I can’t believe I was so lucky as to find such a warm, gifted surgeon. Look no further.

Extremely happy and pleased with the results of my recent eyelid surgery by Dr. Christopher Zoumalan. I highly recommend Dr. Christopher Zoulmalan. Dr. and his entire office staff are beyond friendly and helpful. They go out of their ways to make you feel so special and to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
Thank you Dr. Zoumalna for job so well done.

Very pleased with my experience from start to finish. I initially went to Dr. Zoumalan a few years ago to inquire about a lower bleph to fix my eye bags. I was pretty young and he didn’t want to do the surgery on me just yet so we decided to do lower eye fillers. Fillers for the lower eyes can go extremely wrong if performed by an inexperienced doctor but the results were incredible!
Fast forward a few years and I went back to him to do the surgery. I was older and he agreed it was time for a lower bleph. I was very nervous but he kept me calm from beginning to end. The surgery went smoothly and the healing was easy. A few weeks later after it healed I looked amazing! In love with the results.
I highly recommend Dr. Zoumalan! Great bedside manners and amazing staff.

I recently had upper eyelid surgery with Dr. Zoumalan, who is charming, warm and friendly. I was nervous but he put me at ease immediately. The surgery went very well and the results were fantastic. I was also very impressed with the after care I received. I now have great eyes! I would highly recommend him.
The front office were very professional and efficient. Erika, the Patient Care Coordinator, was very organized and everything went according to plan
Go and see Dr. Zoumalan — you won’t regret it!

I was recommended to Dr, Zoumalan by a friend who had her eyes done and was ecstatic with the results. I had a bad cyst at my eye, which needed to be removed and was quite worried about the consequences. I think Dr. Zoumalan sensed my trepidation and was able to put me totally at ease with his calm and personal manner. He explained everything he was about to do in advance so I knew what to expect. I am very happy with the outcome. It looks like it has never been there.

«I was beyond impressed with my experience at this doctor’s office. My first contact was with Dr. Christopher Zoumalan it was completely blown away by how helpful and kind he was and how fast he was at getting back to me! A lot of doctors don’t realize how important it is to have administration like Dr. Christopher Zoumalan. The first point of contact is crucial!
Now on to the appointment… my appointment ran on time, Dr Christopher was really knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment! I would highly recommend this doctor to anyone who is looking for any type of Facial enhancement or correction!»

THE BEST!
I can not recommend Dr Christopher Zoumalan HIGHLY enough!
And here’s why.
I’m a 45 year old guy, and was contemplating a surgical procedure of a lower blepharoplasty to help with some volume loss on my lower eyelids.
Although I was keen of course to get the results — having surgery on my face — was not really something I wanted.
I saw two other doctors before Dr Zoumalan — both of whom recommended surgery.
Dr Zoumalan was the ONLY doctor who said I did NOT need surgery (maybe in 10 years, but not now)
He said I could achieve very good results using just fillers.
I liked very much how he took his time to explain why he was recommending this course of action, and I was so comfortable with his advice, that I booked the non-​surgical procedure.
I had the fillers injected a week later — I had zero down time — a tiny tiny small bruise (that went within 2 days) — and I can not begin to say how happy I am with the results.
I look ‘fresher’ and refreshed — the exact look I wanted — and have avoided having anything surgical.
I am so so impressed with Dr Z’s manner, and compassion, and humor, and he’s just an all round top guy.
A lot of people could (and did) recommend a surgical procedure (which is also more expensive) — but Dr Zoumalan always had my interests top of mind — he wasn’t looking for the most $ he could make — and I could not be happier with the results.
His team of Christin and Christina and Erika are just the best too…

I was very impressed by Dr. Zoumalan. My mother had been talking for years about doing an eyelid surgery (specifically, blepharoplasty eyelid surgery) to help improve the extra skin around her eyelids. I had been a patient myself in the office before — I had a broken nose that needed repair; I was treated by his brother and colleague in the office, Dr. Rich Zoumalan, and received the utmost care.
So I already had a feeling that my mother would have a great experience. Dr. Chris did not let me down –he was awesome from the first consultation, through the surgery and the follow-​ups after. He was patient, and explained everything kindly to my mother. He advised her of the risks and her options in terms of how to do the procedure.
My mother raved about the experience several times. She had little pain, the process was very smooth and seamless, and the results look wonderful. Most importantly, she couldn’t be happier and keeps saying how she wish she had done this with Dr. Zoumalan years ago. I would refer anyone looking to do something similar to him!

Mom just had her consult for her eye surgery and she’s ready to book! Dr. Z made her feel really comfortable and at ease about the procedure. He’s not pushy at all and very knowledgeable. He doesn’t overpromise. He’s very realistic and will tell and show you what he can do.

Where do you even begin when someone is this good… I was referred to Dr. Zoumalan from a few friends and have been putting off going to him for months since I live in San Francisco. One of my friends went to him for under eye filler and and another blepharoplasty. Both have always looked so natural and radiant that I knew I needed to finally make the trip down. This was my first time ever doing anything like this so I was a little scared and hesitant to say the least, however Dr. Zoumalan made me feel extremely relaxed and comfortable. I got under eye filler and botox and feel absolutely amazing. Having anyone work on your face is a big deal but I feel so lucky to have found someone I can now trust. I will always be making the trip down to see Dr. Zoumalan and would highly recommend him to anyone.

I highly, highly recommend Dr. Christopher Zoumalan! I don’t think I can speak highly enough of him. He is an exceptional doctor and he exceeded my expectations in every way. I could not be more pleased with his approach, his work and the results. He is extremely competent, technically and aesthetically and he is just a really nice, positive guy.
I was looking for ways to get some rejuvenation in my eye area. I know that the eye area is unforgiving and carries risk of complications that other parts of the fact don’t. I had other injectors who were wisely cautious of doing filler in the upper eyelid. So I did my research and looked for someone who specialized in the eye area. I came upon Dr. Zoumalan and found his experience and credentials to be impressive. I was impressed that other doctors recommended him. I work with doctors all day long and know how much a doctor recommendation means.
He went over all my options and did not recommend anything that I didn’t need. We went with filler in the upper eyelid and lower eyelid and I am beyond thrilled. I honestly don’t think I would have gotten the same results with another doctor. He is worth every penny and I am more than happy to pay a little more for his expertise and these kinds of results.
I will continue to see Dr. Zoumalan for maintenance and when/​if it comes time to do eyelid surgery there is no one else I will trust to do it. I am even sending my baby sister to see him.
Setting up an appointment was a breeze. His staff is helpful, professional and friendly. Patty the office manager is really responsive and helpful. The office is beautiful and well appointed. There is free 2 hour parking on the same street.
Again, I highly recommend.

I go to Dr Christopher Zoumalan for Facial Fillers, under my eyes and cheek area. His technique of using a cannula nearly eliminates all bruising. His staff is very prompt and professional. The in office relationship with his brother and surgeon Dr Richard Zoumalan makes for great continuity in addressing all facial cosmetic matters. I have always been happy with the results and Dr Christopher Zoumalan has a great direct manner that inspires confidence.

Took my mom to him. He’s a magician. Makes lines and bags disappear. What we thought would need surgery he was able to fix with a few injections. Such a perfectionist. So gentle and calm. My mom is in.

Dr Zoumalan was recommended to us by another medical doctor. Actually two other doctors I’m a physician myself and my father is a retired physician
And I took my father there for a blepharoplasty consult
All the years of practice took a toll on his eyes
We are from Ohio and the plastic look wasn’t our thing
He met dr Zoumalan and after meeting him we felt confident in his work
The staff was friendly and helpful but the dr was our top concern knowing blepharoplasty can be tricky …
The procedure was quick, and painless!!! My dad is so happy with the results. He can see clear and his eyes don’t look tired anymore. We will post a photo at some point…
Thanks dr Chris for taking such good care of us!!!

Dr. Christopher Zoumalan performed my ptosis and revisional eyelid surgery back in June 2014. I had my final check up with him recently and I am more than happy with my results. My previous surgery was about three years ago and the end result pretty bad. I couldn’t decide if I could live with how my eyes turned out, or take a risk and do another surgical procedure. I waffled back and forth for a good year until I decided I wasn’t going to be happy unless I tried to fix it. My previous doc deferred me constantly from coming in for check-​ups until he couldn’t deny it anymore that it wasn’t improving. Dr. Z was the complete opposite. His office made sure I came in very regularly post op for check-​ups. I also never waited more than 5 – 10 minutes tops to be seen too. Day of the surgery he was warm and caring and put me at ease. He and his office never made me feel bad for calling over every little thing, and boy did I call, even after hours to the doc directly.
So I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Z and his office. He is a genuinely warm person, something so hard to find in medical professionals these days.

I have been a licensed and practicing esthetician in Santa Monica for over 10 years and am VERY particular with who even comes near my face. I heard of Dr. Zoumalan through friends who raved about his talent for conservative and natural looking outcomes from fillers and Botox. I had seen his work first hand and it was so beautifully done that all I could see was a fresh youthful face. A far cry from overly «done» looking Botox or injectables that sadly can be the result if left to the wrong hands.
Chris is professional, honest, and has an incredible eye for aesthetic and symmetry. His front desk and staff are incredibly friendly and professional. I have been seeing him now for 2 years and look more rested and beautiful than before. I HIGHLY recommend him and refer all my clients to him knowing that I will be thanked later for the introduction. And you will too!

This review is long overdue.
I chose Chris and his brother Richard to do a very serious surgery I needed to have done.
The Zoumalan brothers are nothing but world class gentleman and masters of their craft. They make a wonderful team and compliment each another really well.
I cannot speak more highly of the Zoumalan brothers. They take their practice very seriously and use all of the latest equipment, but they are also very personable and you can tell they really care and are extremely passionate about what they do.
Same goes for the office staff.
Two thumbs way up.

The human face, perhaps the most illustrated, drawn, painted and photographed object in the world requires the eye of an artist to make it look compelling.
So why would we trust nothing less than an artist to «work» on my wife? Before anyone is allowed to do cosmetic surgery, they should have at least a Masters in Fine Arts or some kind of body of artistic work.
Knowing how to frame a house doesn’t make you a great architect. And by the results of the work done, Chris is no general contractor, he is Michaelangelo!!!
Bravo !

Being an RN for many years when I made the decision to get filler for tear troughs I knew I would only let a specialist (oculoplastic surgeon) work on my eyes.
Dr. Zoumalan is not only a compassionate and caring physician he does an amazing job with under eye filler. I no longer look like I’m tired all the time. He is gentle and there was very little discomfort. He is meticulous and the results are amazing.
