Philosophy
For Dr. Kirk A. Churukian and his team, top-notch service is a cornerstone of their practice philosophy. In a field with incredibly high standards for safety and optimal outcomes, they ensure that every experience with patients is designed to provide the highest level of care. “My staff are as much a part of the final results as I am,” says the surgeon. “No physician can adequately meet every need alone. We take a team approach to delivering the best possible experience, both before and after the procedure.” Beyond offering exemplary care, Dr. Churukian is committed to making sure his transformational surgical and nonsurgical treatments are in line with his patients’ personal goals. “I want my patients to not only look better, but feel better,” he adds. “The physical results are just one piece of the puzzle. I’m also there to be their cheerleader and reassure them about what they are seeing in the mirror as they move through the phases of their recovery.”

A Minute With
1
WHAT ARE YOUR MOST REQUESTED PROCEDURES?
Fat grafting for facial
rejuvenation, facelifts,
breast augmentations
and tummy tucks.
2
WHAT NEW SERVICES ARE YOU EXCITED TO OFFER?
Combining Platelet-rich
plasma (PRP) with
fat grafting to improve
the graft survival.
3
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO REVIVE A POST-PREGNANCY FIGURE?
Start by repairing the physical
damage of pregnancy, including
lax abdominal wall and muscles,
and excess fat and skin around the
midsection. Next, consider breast
rejuvenation to restore lost volume
and tighten loose skin to create a
natural-looking shape
4
WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH TO BREAST AUGMENTATION?
Our philosophy is to respect the
limits of each person’s tissues.
Finding an implant that is a
comfortable and natural fit
diminishes the pain and trauma
from the surgery. Improving the
circulation to the breast with
special exercises will decrease
swelling and improve healing.
This returns the patient to normal
activity quickly and limits the
complications of the surgery
5
WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOUR PROFESSION?
Fat grafting for facial
rejuvenation, facelifts,
breast augmentations
and tummy tucks.
6
THE ACCOLADES THAT MEAN THE MOST TO ME
The trust and friendship of
patients and their families
7
THREE WORDS THAT BEST DESCRIBE ME
Earnest, sincere,
compassionate
8
MY MOTTO
“You are beautiful.”
This is the idea that we
start...and end with!

WHAT IS YOUR BEST COSMETIC TIP FOR THE HOLIDAYS?
Botox and fillers are an all-season
favorite that when timed just right
can help you put your best face
forward from Halloween through
the new year! Right now, I’m doing
facial rejuvenation treatments
using fillers like Juvéderm Voluma,
Vollure and Volbella and Botox.
This transformative procedure
takes under 30 minutes and can
help you turn back the clock on
several years of aging
10
WHAT OTHER PROCEDURES ARE BEST TO DO THIS TIME OF YEAR?
Blepharoplasty can give you
better-looking eyes in about an
hour. There’s minimal pain with
quick functional recovery. Upper
and/or lower eyelid lifts during
time away from work will have
you looking like you just returned
from a spa vacation. I also like IPL
(Intense Pulsed Light) treatments
to get rid of redness. A red nose and
rosy cheeks look great on Santa,
but not so great on you!
