$9,000Brazilian Butt Lift

starbright16704

Amazing results - I love my hourglass figure

I had a Brazilian Butt Lift with Dr. Kim a little over a year ago. I love my hourglass figure. He removed fat from my thighs, stomach, and love handles to create a natural uplifted butt. I had previously gone to him for a scar revision for a surgery performed by a different doctor and the incision line is now barely noticeable. He is really a wonderful doctor. Whenever I have gotten poor results from a cosmetic surgery, the plastic surgeon will put the blame on my body's ability to heal. What I have learned from my experiences with Dr. Kim is the doctor's skill makes the biggest difference. Don't let any doctor convince you otherwise. What other doctors described as my poor healing process is non-existent when Dr. Kim performs the surgery.

$8,000Breast Augmentation

Calm2286

120 Lbs, 29 Yo, 240cc Breast Augmentation

I am 5 days post-op and feeling great! I was indecisive about how many ccs I should do. Originally, I wanted to go smaller. I’m glad I didn’t! 240cc has given me the natural breasts I want. Of course, they have a lot of fluffing and dropping to do but I already love them. PS: I started out with 34A breasts. I think I’ll be a big B or small C. Depending on the bra. Photo below is 3 days post op. Updated on 2 Oct 2021: Forgot to add a before picture! This is be before surgery with 32A breasts. They told me I could go up to 300cc for it to look natural but I chose to stick with the 240cc moderate profile because I’m already used to not having big breast. I didn’t want to feel too different but I do want to look and feel better in clothes. Updated on 4 Oct 2021: Hi! It’s been 9 days since my operation and I am healing so well. I got the stitches taken out at 6 days and dr. Kim put the tape back on my scar so I’m not sure what the scar looks like. Looks small from what I can see under the tape. I’m not in pain anymore and can lift me arms and be about 90% functional. My breasts have dropped a bit and they are settling in nice. Added photos. Updated on 4 Nov 2021: Hi! Just wanted to update everyone. I’m loving my breasts and as you can see, they’ve dropped a lot!!!! My scar is hardly visible (I think my skin just reacts well to scars). The doctor said they will drop more as time goes on. They’re still a bit hard but I can sleep on my stomach and side perfectly. I’m also cleared to work out and get back to regular activities. Updated on 4 Jul 2024: It's been about 3.5 years since I got a breast aug. I'm so glad I did this. They look and feel natural and I always get compliments from people and they don't even know they're implants. I have sent so many people to my doctor bc they love the natural look. 240cc was perfect for my body type.

$3,500Facial Fat Transfer

karinasaida

He will always be my go-to surgeon!

5 stars doesn’t even come close to how amazing Dr. Kim is! I recently had a liposuction with the fat transfer to the face procedure done by him and after only a day of the surgery, I already see a dramatic, beautiful difference! I’ve been seeing him for about 10 years now and I absolutely admire him and his work. I’ve had my rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, chin, and jaw all done with him and every procedure had a spectacular result. He always provides his honest opinion and he does whatever it takes to make his patients happy. He will always be my go-to surgeon!

Eyelid Surgery

Dr Charles Kim is an Excellent Plastic Surgeon!

After visiting several doctors in the area, I had my epicanthoplasty and blepharoplasty with ptosis correction done by Dr. Kim and couldn’t be happier! He and his staff––especially Kris––are incredibly welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable. He spent his time analyzing my anatomy for optimal results before procedures. The post op follow ups were very thoughtful as well. They also had great COVID safety precautions like conducting the test and temperature checks upon entry and asking guests to wait outside until their appointment. I’m very pleased with my results would definitely recommend CK Plastic Surgery to family and friends:)

Mommy Makeover

Finally Got my Body Back Thanks to Dr Kim

5+ Stars to Dr Kim & staff for helping me to gain the confidence I’ve been struggling to get back. 2 children and 9 years of busyness has led to stubborn weight gain in certain areas and hopelessness. Dr Kim is not pushy and does not make promises but is very realistic & detailed in explaining what would provide the best results. Most other clinics suggested quick seemingly easy corrections but CK offered me options and explanations that made sense, actually told me not to do certain procedures and helped formulate a plan that would address my problem areas in the most whole/complete way. After surgery combined with non surgical adaptations, my body is finally me again. I know I need to continue to work at my body but now am in the best place to do so. I look and feel so great. After surgery my recovery has been steady, very little discomfort and beautiful results. I continue with my visits to CK for non surgical care and continue to look better every day. I’m so happy with the amazing services I received Dr Kim & staff!

Revision Rhinoplasty

I would like to share the best nose surgery doctor

Dr. Kim is the best Plastic Surgeon! I have always worked in the beauty industry and am more interested in beauty than anyone else could be. I have invested much time, effort & money toward my image and looks because it really matters to me personally. Many years ago I did nose surgery in Korea and as time passed my skin became thinner and thinner because the implant was too extended and pushed out too much.I was so worried and knew I had to get a revision surgery because it was looking more and more red & unnatural. But also I knew that in time the implant might break through my skin.  For years I had been searching for the best nose reconstructive cosmetic surgeon. After researching and studying Dr Kim’s style and patients results I knew I had found the best.Dr. Kim broke my surgery down into 2 steps, 2 consecutive days. My recovery time was surprisingly quick and down time was short. Dr. Kim is really delicate so I had almost no pain after nose surgery and could go to work in three days.  My nose looked so much better and more natural almost right away.The redness and unattractive shape was gone and he made the most natural and beautiful curve for my nose. It fits the look and proportion of my face perfectly, and gave me a more feminine look. He is truly an artist! I'm so happy every time I see my nose. Many friends and family compliment me all the time. Dr. Kim is really an amazing doctor but also very sincere in caring for me so I felt very comfortable.If you want the best rhinoplasty, I highly recommend surgery from Dr. Kim. Thank you so much Dr. Kim! Thank you so much for giving me a new life as a gift!

$2,500Double Eyelid Surgery

I Love my Double Eyelid Surgery Results! The crease is the perfect size and the shape is so fitting to my natural eye

As an asian girl double eyelid surgery is almost like a rite of passage. There are so many Dr's out there who do it but none with the skill that I have seen in Dr Kim. He did 2 of my friends' eyes and although they have different kinds of eyes both came out so natural and pretty that I was very shocked. My cousins went to other Dr's for surgery and I am so sad about for their outcomes. They need to wait 6 months before trying to fix it, so it is so important to for me to find the right place first time. Anyway, the surgery went so easy, no pain and very comfortable atmosphere. Dr Kim is the kindest Dr I have ever met and he made me feel so comfortable during the whole process with his confidence and attentiveness. After the surgery I had stitches for 1 week and pulling them out was a little painful but ok. Now, after 1 month I am beyond happy with my eyes. The crease is the perfect size and the shape is so fitting to my natural eye. The healing process was not bad, swelling and a little bruising for about 1 week. Now at 1 month there is a little swelling but I still love it!

Dr. Kim did the best job for my nose implant

Dr. Kim did the best job for nose implant. I got mine done by Dr. KIM years ago and still have never regretted one bit. His style is something natural yet will carry out your true beauty without feeling too much fake on your face. This is what I discovered and liked after many years being his patient. I still stick with Dr. KIM. He has sharp eyes to tell if something will make you better or not. I have never heard any bad comment for my nose implant. He is the best in town.

Ultherapy

Ultherapy: Super Satisfied!

I was a bit anxious for Ultherapy but Dr. Kim and his staff were great at explaining the treatment and making me feel comfortable the whole time. I am super satisfied with the results of this skin tightening treatment. There was no downtime and I feel so much more confident!
