Usually I would not post a review on something like this but I've loved my results so much I felt compelled to leave a review here. Two years ago I had an upper blepharoplasty with Dr. Kim and it has totally transformed how I look and I could not be happier. Dr. Kim's office staff are so lovely and were extremely helpful and so kind to both me and my mom (who came with me). Dr. Kim did a consultation with me over video-call since I work overseas. I would recommend showing him pictures of what you are hoping to attain on the day of the procedure when he draws on your eyelid where he will make the incisions. I brought inspo pics from one of his past patients from his instagram and I also took a screenshot that I found from another doctor on instagram. He really took the pictures into consideration and was able to achieve the exact results I was hoping for. They actually ended up looking better than I had imagined. The actual procedure is not bad but the healing took a little longer than I had thought. The swelling was the worst in the first week and then gradually starts to go down over the next three months, it took about 6 weeks before they stopped feeling swollen and looked more normal. I would 200% recommend Dr. Kim and especially if you're thinking of upper blepharoplasty, the results were amazing and my eyes look so much brighter and makeup looks so much better. I got SO many compliments afterwards but no one knew exactly what had changed- which is exactly what I wanted!
I thank God to finding him to do my revision rhinoplasty last year. Due to an autoaccident my nose was broken to many pieces and disfigured. I was extremely unhappy with the outcome of my nose by a plastic surgeon and wasn't able to breathe well for 35 years. Dr. Kim changed my beautiful and functional nose back. Updated on 17 Dec 2021: Nose that I have always wanted and the removal of lower eyelids bags at the same time. DR. KIM painstakingly and meticulously removed the old scar tissue from the old surgery site and reconstructed my nose. He smoothed my lower eyelids at the same time.
My experience with Dr. Kim was professional and great. He made sure I was comfortable and he knows what he is doing. I have been telling everyone about my upgraded lips and I will continue to recommend Dr. Kim for all his specialties.
Dr. Jae Kim is an exceptional plastic surgeon doctor and I would recommend him to everyone I know. I had just one consultation for Asian blepharoplasty with Dr. Kim before I decided to go with the surgery, because his entire team made me feel super comfortable and heard throughout the entire process.The results were more than I could've ever hoped for! They look extremely natural and subtle! I am 100% happy with how they turned out and I really appreciate all the pre and post surgery care Dr. Kim and the team provided me with. It was super easy to make appointments and follow-ups and both of his staffs constantly made sure I was feeling listened to and cared for. After the surgery, they followed up with me promptly and advised the needed care for my eyes. I would definitely come back for any other needs, surgical or not, to Dr.Kim and would like to thank him again for helping me!
Dr. Kim was incredibly detailed and his staff is very helpful and communicative. I had lower Botox done for my nightly teeth clenching and grinding, and it was very effective. Never had Botox in my life before this thus was very nervous, but Dr. Kim made the process very seamless and relatively painless. Will definitely come back here again for my next treatment!
My experience with Dr. Kim and the staff have been excellent. From the moment I visited the office a d the consultation, which reflects their professionalism and dedication. I had a rhinoplasty/septoplasty performed by Dr.Jae Kim, and I really love my results.
Undereye filler is a tricky thing - the hill under your left eye is likely residual filler and should be melted. Then reassess with a clean slate.
Full disclosure: the surgeon likes to operate, while the medspa likes to inject, hence they're selling you want they like to do. From your pics, it looks like cheek volume would benefit you the most. The deep plane facelift surgery would address some of the cheek volume by repositioning the larger fat pads upward and back toward your cheekbone, but fat transfer at the same time can really help your cheeks be the highlight!The benefits of fat transfer over filler is that you pay for the procedure, not for every syringe, and that your fat is your own tissue.
Patients with concerns like these are great candidates for a deep neck lift through a single incision under the chin. The deeper tissues of the neck, including fat, muscle, and salivary glands, can drop even at a young age. Also consider a chin implant, which can lengthen the jawline and make the neck angle look more crisp!
I see many young patients who say "droopy" or "saggy." If you've had recent weight loss or are thin build to begin with, a subtle volumizer would be a great option. At this point, consider PLLA (Sculptra) to help you with your concern. Likely you'll need more than one treatment, and it takes a while to see measurable results. Good news is it can last a long time and your skin looks even better!
Suture placement is all about tension. When we remove skin, we make sure not to remove too much; any gap in the skin when you close with stitches can lead to tension and poor scarring.Surgically, it's about repositioning your tissues with a deep plane facelift and necklift to help the saggy neck and jowls, as well as cheeks. Upper blepharoplasty +/- a temporal or lateral browlift would really make your eyes shine! For your skin, CO2 laser would help with your skin quality.
