Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$304,177

Payments

216

Compared to peers

Among the highest in our directory

Dr. Kian Karimi received $304,177 across 216 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 99.7% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was Galderma Laboratories, L.P..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Kian Karimi

Sourced directly from Dr. Kian Karimi's social posts and replies.

What is the Deep Plane Facelift technique?
The Deep Plane facelift is an advanced technique that involves going under the muscle and releasing all the ligaments tethering the muscle to deeper structures. Most of the work is done under the muscle, which results in a far faster recovery because less skin is separated from the underlying muscle. Dr. Karimi appreciates this technique for its ability to lift the mid-face and cheeks, support the lower eyelid, and ensure everything lifts together beautifully, avoiding a disjointed appearance, while also providing significant improvement to the neck.

What is SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® and what are its benefits?
SKINVIVE™ by JUVÉDERM® is the first and only FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) microdroplet injectable in the US, offered at Dr. Karimi's practice. It's designed to improve skin smoothness of the cheeks and provide a lasting glow for up to 6 months with optimal treatment. Unlike most HA fillers, it's not for volumizing or contouring, but rather hydrates the skin and triggers fibroblasts to produce more collagen, offering more than just a temporary fix. It's safe for all skin types and ideal for anyone looking to upgrade dull skin for a more radiant complexion. Injections are performed using a very small needle, with patients reporting little to no discomfort.

What are 'pixie ears' and how can they be corrected?
A 'pixie ear' is a deformity where the ear is pulled down on the face, typically occurring after face and neck lifts due to excessive tension. This can be distressing for patients as it can be a tell-tale sign of plastic surgery. Dr. Karimi offers in-office correction for pixie ears, regardless of their cause. The procedure involves releasing the ear from underlying tissues, supporting them with deep technical work, and reshaping the ear lobule with carefully designed incisions, performed under local anesthesia. While the scar is initially quite visible, it fades to be nearly imperceptible over time.

What are the instructions and benefits of nose taping after rhinoplasty?
Nose taping is an essential aftercare step following rhinoplasty, typically recommended every night for six weeks, starting one week post-procedure after the nasal cast is removed. It helps decrease swelling fluctuations, provides support, minimizes swelling, and maintains the new shape of the nose during healing. Dr. Karimi also recommends taping on airplanes or in high-elevation environments for up to one year after surgery to prevent swelling. Getting the technique right is vital for maximizing benefits. The process involves cutting six pieces of tape (measurements don't have to be exact), applying the first three overlapping pieces from the bridge down until only the nasal tip is visible, wrapping the next piece around the tip with gentle pressure, and using the last piece as reinforcement.

What are the different types of neck lifts Dr. Karimi performs?
Dr. Karimi offers customized neck lift procedures tailored to individual needs and aesthetic goals. For younger patients with just some fullness under the chin, a Deep Neck Lift involves an incision under the chin to sculpt tissues including fat, muscle, and sometimes glands. If extra skin is anticipated, a Micro Neck Lift uses an incision under the chin and limited incisions behind the ears to pull back excess skin. For more comprehensive rejuvenation, Lower Face and Neck Lifts, including the Deep Plane technique, utilize traditional incisions hidden artistically around the ears to bring up the mid-face, lower third, and neck. The Deep Plane technique, performed by only a few surgeons, involves going under the muscle and releasing tethering ligaments, resulting in a far faster recovery due to less skin separation from underlying muscle.
