New Perfect Titties!!!
So amazing and feel so grateful for Dr David E Kim! My boobs were originally done in MiAMi and the doctor did not listen to me. He went bigger than I wanted as well as not listening that the left one was bigger and they were way too far apart Dr. Kim fixed all of my issues. he listened to me with what I wanted and still gave me the perfect size for my body and anatomy. He brought them closer together and his work is impeccable. The incisions are so minute that I’m scarring amazingly

I Highly Recommend Dr Kim
I had my breast augmentation done by Dr. Kim in 2004, and more than 20 years later, I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My results have held up beautifully over the decades — natural, balanced, and still flattering after all this time. I am only now considering a lift due to normal aging, not because of any problems with the original surgery. That alone speaks volumes about Dr. Kim’s skill, precision, and artistry. The implants have maintained
He did amazing and I’m finally happy with my results
I’ve had 5 different breast surgeries with several different doctors. Some did ok and one was a nightmare and shouldn’t be allowed to practice. I found David Kim after my nightmare and he is sooo good at what he does. He fixed what so many have messed up. This is the what they have ever been and I wish I would have found him sooner. He is professional and really knows what he is doing. I’m so glad I had him do my surgery as I’m tired of spending so much money for horrible

The surgery was quick and easy - great results so far!
I found Dr. Kim through the cosplayer Liz Katz who has the most perfect boobs. I didn’t want to go quite as big, but her shape was perfect. I was really impressed by his before and afters and the videos on youtube showing he can somehow make incredibly large implants look natural. I’m from a different state so we had a consultation via email and a quick zoom call to answer a couple of other questions. Dr. Kim is a man of few words but if you prepare questions he will make sure
Lasting Boobs for a Decade. Looked perfect and has been for at least a decade!
Had this dude do my BA back in the 2009ish. He did a great job but don’t expect him to make sure your new boobs will be proportional to your hips and what not. Boobs however looked perfect and has been for at least a decade! He accused me of having had a nose job though I told him I never did. Dude. Why can’t an Asian just have been born with a nose with a perfect bridge. Lol. When people ask me if I had my nose done I tell them my parents did it, in bed. And I ended up with great

Breast Augmentation
I got my first breast augmentation in May 2020. I was 23 years old with no kids. Didn't do much research on breast augmentations I just found a dr that I liked with the best result in my opinion. My Dr told me I wasn't quite a candidate for a breast lift just the implant and I also knew I wanted to do silicone forsure! We went with 485cc. I'm 5'8 and at the time I weighed about 145 pounds.

32 Yrs Old 3 Kids. Donut Lift with Sientra Gummy Implant
Dr. Kim preformed my rhinoplasty in 2009 and ever since I told myself that if I ever get my breasts done, it will be with him. A little bit about him, he is a man of a few words who gets straight to business. You might sense coldness from him when he first walks through the door. He is not the type to sit there with you for 2 hours and convince you about something. He looks at you, tells you what realistic results you can get with him and delivers you exactly what he has told

Great plastic surgeon - cannot wait for my surgery
I had my consultation with Dr. David Kim today. He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and honest. He answered my 20 plus questions with patience. He was honest about the results I would receive without a lift and with. He did not sugarcoat anything, but that is what you need in a professional. I cannot wait for my surgery! Updated on 2 Jun 2022: I had my pre op appointment yesterday. I had to sign paperwork, get blood work, speak with Dr. Kim and pay the remaining balance. It
He’s A1
I got mine done ten years ago! He was amazing! You’re in skilled hands! Don’t come to him looking for a friend. Get him because he delivers. His staff on the other hand... no comment. Photos are about a week out. I got implants and a lift and was opting for a more natural look. I loved his work. I got the silicone gummy bear under the muscle through the areola.

I will definitely recommend Dr Kim in a heartbeat!
I fell in love with my BA about 10 years ago when Dr. Kim did them for me! Fast forward to today, I still love them! I never had any issues with them! And I get so many compliments! I will definitely recommend Dr Kim in a heartbeat!
