Every so often, Simon Ourian braces himself for an onslaught of super-wealthy people in search of aesthetic perfection – like the private jet-load of patients from China who flew into Los Angeles a couple of months ago specifically to see the illustrious Beverly Hills cosmetic dermatologist.

Sixteen women, two men, and a gaggle of their friends had each booked a few procedures; they had them done over the course of a week, shopped a bit, and then flew out.

“It was all hands on deck,” said Ourian, known for his high-wattage celebrity client list, which includes virtually all the Kardashian/Jenner clan, Lady Gaga, Salma Hayek and Olivia Culpo.

“This group was supposed to come before [the pandemic] and had to wait a whole year. When we knew they were finally coming, we kept everything open, and had the entire team available to them.”

Although 18 people in one international group at one time is a lot, it’s also par for the course for Ourian, who fields 200 requests a day from potential patients, many of whom wait for up to two years to be seen by him.
