Dr. Simon Ourian is Hollywood’s go-to specialist for non-invasive procedures. His notable clients include Megan Fox, Kris Jenner, Lady Gaga and Christie Brinkley, to name a few.
But what makes the man Kim Kardashian calls a ‘necessity’ in her life so good? When he’s not in his medical lab coat, he is creating art.
‘Both fields have provided me with a profound appreciation for the artistic expression and the ability to create beauty, whether it is captured in a sculpture or enhancing the natural features of a person,’ the doctor exclusively tells Daily Mail.

Commissioned to make a sculpture for the royal family of Qatar during the World Cup, the cosmetic doctor used stainless steel to create a larger-than-life falcon perched up on a soccer ball.
Measuring 30ft wide by 15ft high, the magnificent piece was painted with a unique black airplane paint.
In addition to Qatar, Ourian originals are on display in Dubai, Florida, and Beverly Hills.

Kim refers to Dr. Ourian as a ‘necessity’
When it comes to being both an artist and a doctor, ‘one striking similarity I have observed is the underlying artistic principles that apply to both sculpting and cosmetic procedures,’ he said.
‘In both cases, an understanding of proportions, aesthetics, and visual harmony is essential.
‘Whether I’m sculpting a clay figure or performing a facial enhancement, I rely on my artistic eye to assess and improve the balance and symmetry of the subject.
‘The concept of creating something visually pleasing and appealing translates across both mediums.’
Based in Beverly Hills, Dr. Ourian tells Daily Mail that when he looks at someone’s face, he automatically knows what he can do to improve it, and he has had this ability since he was a child.

‘In my artistic endeavors, I have worked with sculptures made of clay and various inanimate objects, while in my medical practice, I focus on enhancing and transforming the features of human faces and bodies,’ said the A-list doctor who has garnered an impressive 3.5 million Instagram followers.
There are many similarities to working on a piece of art and a human, but there are, of course, differences.
‘Unlike inanimate sculptures, human features are living and subject to various factors such as age, genetics, and individual preferences.
‘This requires me to adapt my artistic skills to the unique characteristics and desires of each patient.
‘I must consider not only the aesthetics but also the functional aspects, ensuring that any cosmetic procedures are performed safely and do not compromise the natural movements or expressions of the individual.’
‘The more the right and left side of the face are symmetrical, the better,’ said the A-list doctor who has garnered an impressive 3.5 million Instagram followers
‘Sculpting inanimate objects allows for complete artistic freedom, but working with human faces and bodies requires a deep understanding of patients’ desires, insecurities, and personal goals’

Another difference Dr. Ourian notes is the emotional and psychological aspect involved in working with human subjects.
‘Sculpting inanimate objects allows for complete artistic freedom, but working with human faces and bodies requires a deep understanding of patients’ desires, insecurities, and personal goals.
‘It is important to establish trust, effectively communicate, and manage patients’ expectations to achieve the desired outcomes.
‘The human connection and the ability to positively impact someone’s self-confidence through cosmetic procedures add a unique dimension to my work as a cosmetic dermatology doctor.’
Like a true sculptor, Dr. Ourian starts every procedure by measuring and creating diagrams of the face.
The goal? Creating walking works of art!
‘From the forehead to the chin, the face is divided into thirds (upper, middle and lower). Faces considered attractive tend to possess equal size thirds, and thus are more proportional,’ he explained
