I Had the Best Experience
I don’t typically write reviews, but this experience truly stood out and deserves to be shared. I recently underwent an upper blepharoplasty and lip shortening procedure, and from start to finish, the entire experience was exceptionally well organized and thoughtful. From the very beginning, the entire process was handled with incredible care and attention to detail. My pre-op appointment with Kristine was extremely thorough—she carefully reviewed both pre- and post-operative

Completely satisfied with the results - it looks natural
From beginning to end the process was wonderful. There does seem to be a slightly longer wait time when you do come for appointments. All the staff was great, always made me feel comfortable and answered any and all questions I had. I really loved the 3D feature they have that can generate pictures of what the end result will look like. Dr helped me choose the right size for my body type and I am completely satisfied with the results. It looks natural and amazing I couldn’t be

Right breast: 445cc, Left breast: 495cc Silicone, Soft Touch implants. Transaxillary incision. Backstory: I have never felt confident in my body, and have been wanting a boob job since I was 14 years old once I figured out they weren’t getting any bigger. I flew in from Oregon to get this procedure done off of a recommendation from my sister in law, and from then up until now, I’ve heard nothing but great feedback about Dr. Shim Ching from my relatives/extended family about his

Breast implant revision 2 days post-op - best results and care
Amazing staff, nurses and of course Dr. Shim Ching is the best! They explain everything in great detail and is very organized from consult, pre op info, surgery day and post op care. Dr. Liu their MD Anesthesiologist is caring, kind and explains everything that will be going on during your surgery. Dr. Shim Ching and his team are the ONLY choice if you want the best results and care.

Great customer service
12k for lipo and I barely see a difference. He's nice but I'm not paying 12k for someone to be nice to me. Probably better to go to Miami or DR. Such a disappointment. He claimed it was due to internal fat but I live a healthy lifestyle and workout 5x a week. Women ik that have gone other places look 10x better and don't do half of what I do. Updated on 18 May 2021: I initially wasn't happy with my results but have been offered another procedure which requires no down time and

Beautiful Results - I am so grateful I found someone so skillful and trustworthy
Dr. Ching is the absolute best! I am so grateful I found someone so skillful and trustworthy to handle any concerns that I have. In the past, I’ve gone to numerous consultations looking for a plastic surgeon I could trust, and when I met Dr. Ching and his staff, I knew I found someone with superior quality and professionalism. Over the course of ten years, I’ve had a variety of procedures done, including breast augmentation and rhinoplasty. Dr. Ching has a refined skill that

300 cc on 34A - 5'4 120 lbs —I am nervous about the recovery process
Hi all! Tomorrow I am getting ~300 cc Inspira soft-touch implants. My surgeon and I decided on sub muscular via the transauxilliary method. I am nervous about the recovery process and plan to use this forum as a reminder to stay patient as they drop and fluff! Updated on 2 Feb 2021: Feeling good! Very little pain just stiff. Implants are definitely “high and tight.” Updated on 6 Feb 2021: Starting to look great! They get softer everyday but still feel like rocks on my chest.
Above & Beyond Expectations!!!
A freak accident left me with a gash in the middle of my face. I went to the ER and had to get 5 stitches put in, but I was worried the result would be less than ideal, and that I’d be left with a pretty awful scar. Lucky for me I was able to get in to see Dr. Shim Ching. Talk about LITERALLY SAVING FACE. Dr. Shim Ching removed the ER’s 5 stitches and put in 15 small tight stitches to help ease scarring and make for a better overall end result. My family have commented on what

Dr. Shim Ching is the best breast aug surgeon
May I first start off by saying how happy I am with the decision that I made by choosing Dr. Shim Ching! I’m currently three weeks post-op of my Breast Augmentation procedure and I’m so in love with the results! For starters, I’ve only dreamt of having the actual opportunity of having my breasts cosmetically done. I didn’t think the day would ever come that I’d actually commit. I’ve always idolized women who are so confident in their body... and I wanted that so badly. It

I Came to the Right Place
The staff at the desk were really helpful and and polite. I was seen by nurse Stacy and she was very thorough and precise on what was gonna be done but of course she asked me first what were my concerns, then she gave me her advice. She was very pleasant, and made me feel comfortable through the whole procedure. I am very pleased with her work on botox, especially for my jaw muscles because I clench so much. I definitely will be back for some fillers so that I can look and feel
