“I really genuinely care about looking good,” Kim Kardashian said in a recent interview with Seduce Magazine. And while the reality star refutes rumors of having plastic surgery, she does admit that he underwent non-invasive procedures.
To look her best without going under the knife, Kim turns to California cosmetic dermatologist, Dr. Simon Ourian. A former sculptor, Dr. Ourian has the creative tools and vision to create traveling works of art.
“When I look at someone’s face, I automatically have in mind what I can do to improve it and have been since I was a kid,” Dr. Ourian told DailyMail.com.
To look her best without going under the knife, Kim Kardashian turns to California-based cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Simon Ourian.
A former sculptor, Dr. Simon Ourian, is a master at creating works of art.
From performing non-surgical nose job to contouring the jawline and cheeks, Dr. Ourian, whose clientele includes the Kardashian-Jenner family, models, actors, musicians and many world royalty, can perform almost any beautifying procedure without the need for a scalpel.
“Before becoming a doctor, my background was in art and sculpture, so it was fortuitous that I entered the field of aesthetic medicine,” said the sought-after doctor.
“I liked aesthetics and beautiful things and I thought there must be a better way to do this without surgery.”
Dr. Ourian explains that there are three facial features that appear universally considered beautiful: symmetry, proportion, and healthy skin.
While they say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Dr. Ourian explains that there are three facial features that seem to be universally considered beautiful: symmetry, proportion, and healthy skin.
“The more symmetrical the right and left sides of the face, the better,” said the top-notch doctor who, thanks to his skills and impressive 3.5 million Instagram followers, he has become a celebrity himself.
In addition to symmetry, proportion matters.
‘From the forehead to the chin, the face is divided into thirds (upper, middle and lower). Faces considered attractive tend to have thirds that are the same size and are therefore more proportional,” he explained.
‘All these things are related to our belief that a person is healthy and young. It has been programmed into our heads.
‘From the forehead to the chin, the face is divided into thirds (upper, middle and lower). Faces considered attractive tend to have thirds of equal size and, therefore, are more proportional”, explained Dr. Ourian.
According to Dr. Ourian, Kim’s face is very symmetrical, with the left and right sides nearly identical.

‘His face is also very proportional, and all of his individual facial features are very proportional to each other.
There is nothing you look at that you think is too big or too small, and she has learned to maintain and care for it better than anyone.
‘She has a very clear vision of what a person should look like. She takes care of her face.
Like an artist before beginning to sketch a portrait, Dr. Ourian begins his procedures by measuring the face.
“What I do by measuring and creating diagrams of the face is what sculptures have done for the last thousands of years,” explains the expert.
The goal is to create symmetry, which, as a former artist, comes naturally to the Persian dermatologist.
‘If someone has a smaller lower face, I try to enlarge it to match the upper face; if someone’s forehead is too big, I try to widen the face to match the length of the face.’
According to Dr. Ourian, non-surgical procedures are becoming much more advantageous because they offer results similar to surgery but with a safer outcome.
“The great advantage of cosmetic dermatology is that you can choose and make your own menu on the go,” he said.
Adding: ‘In surgery you wake up and hope everything is going to be okay; when you’re awake in a doctor’s office like mine, you work as a team with your doctor. You can say “I like my cheeks the way they are, I want to lift this…”

Some of the most requested procedures at his Beverly Hills practice, located at 444 N Camden Drive, are cheek fillers and lip augmentation, as well as facial and body contouring.
Like the rest of the world, Dr. Ourian learned the buzzword “contouring” from Kim’s makeup artist, Mario.
‘We were traveling together and Mario kept saying the word contour. I told him we do the same thing all the time and he had no idea. I decided that’s what I’ll call it: Permanent Contouring.’
