    "Dr. Michael Kulick is one the top plastic surgeons in the Bay Area. He sees your face with an artist's eye, and can translate that with his excellent surgeon's skills to make you look better than you could ever imagine. The recovery is just a moment in time compared to the years of new life for my face.
    About 11 years ago I had a consultation with Dr. Kulick and decided to go with everything he suggested. I also had consultations with two other highly recommended plastic surgeons. I found Dr. Kulick through an article he wrote on the vertical facelift. Your face ages that way and needs to be lifted that way. I did not want to have that sideways stretched look we've all seen. From lips to earlobes. It's terrible!
    Everything Dr. Kulick suggested that I could do, and the way he would perform the surgery, made perfect sense to me. He also has an extensive photo library of his other patients and what they had done. So I could see what great success they all had, and I could ask all the questions about the surgery and the recovery to feel comfortable going forward.
    It is, without a doubt, the BEST money I have ever spent on anything in my life!
    I have been to Dr. Kulick over the years for some laser treatments to even out skin tone. And have been so happy with everything he does.
    I would not go to any other plastic surgeon. He is just simply the best!

Dr. Kulick’s Philosophy


A healthy level of self-esteem is one of several factors which contribute to an emotionally satisfying life. Having pride in one’s physical appearance can affect this level of self-esteem.

Sometimes, individuals may have cosmetic physical problems that cause great personal concern. There may even be a disparity between their own self-image – how they see themselves, and their body image – how other people see them. A problem that is very troublesome to a person, may seem insignificant to a friend or loved one. When such a disparity in an individual’s image exists, it can often weaken that person’s self-esteem, and lead to associated frustration, anxiety or depression.

Corrective measures to bridge this gap between self-image and body image can take several forms, both surgical and non-surgical. Because cosmetic surgery is not a self-image panacea, Dr. Kulick conducts a preliminary consultation to assess an individual’s need and motivation for surgery. Numerous physical conditions can be significantly improved by cosmetic surgery. Even a relatively minor procedure can ease the anxiety associated with a physical condition. Once the patient and Dr. Kulick have a clear understanding of the desired change, the procedure can then be planned.

Dr. Michael Kulick international expert in plastic surgeryThrough cosmetic surgery, Dr. Kulick has helped many patients overcome their physical concerns from birth defects, deformities caused by injury, problems attributed to genetic structure, and the effects of aging. In such cases, cosmetic surgery provided a heightened level of self-esteem and an enhanced quality of life.

Dr. Kulick is a recognized international expert in the field of plastic surgery.

It depends on the cause. if it is due to the bulging fat of the lower eyelid, then something needs to be done with the fat to not create a shadow = dark circle. if it is due to the color of the skin, hydroquinone may help. another option is laser resurfacing. so you need to see a doctor or provide pictures for a more focused response.
