Results far exceeded my expectations
Dr. Kim is truly amazing and so is his entire staff from start to finish. I had a few consults; I wish I would have seen him first. He was compassionate, transparent snd kind. The results far exceeded my expectations and he achieved what other surgeons said they couldn’t do without an implant. His credentials and before and afters speak for themselves; you will be so happy!

29, no kids, 310cc, gummy bear, moderate profile, OTM w/ circumareolar lift
I had my breast augmentation on 11/17/23 with Dr. Kim in Chicago. Initially I was in between 295cc and 310ccs. Ultimately I went with 310 cc as my surgeon recommended it. We decided to go OTM instead of UTM due to my active lifestyle (I enjoy weight lifting and strength training). I also decided to go for a lift on my left side due to asymmetry and am happy with my decision.

I have been considering a breast augmentation for some time. I have a pace maker, my breasts were different sizes and you were able to see my devise, even with cloths on.

The Best in Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana Area
What led me to Dr. Kim was his credentials, resume, reviews, and tasteful and informative social media. I have nothing but great things to say about my breast augmentation experience with Dr. Kim and his team. From the initial consultation to the aftercare, the entire team has been prompt, attentive, thorough, and caring. At the initial consultation, Dr. Kim and Emma answered all of my questions before I even had a chance to ask them. Dr. Kim recommended the treatment of my

Very Professional and Knowledgeable
I had a very good experience with the North Western Medicine. Dr. John Kim is a wonderful surgeon, and the staff is always helpful and kind. I had my first surgery in my life, i was very scared to do any transformation with my body, but after breastfeeding two children, I was unhappy with my breast. On my first appointment with Dr. Kim and his team, I immediately felt at ease and Confident ; ready to start my new journey. They ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up.

Two weeks into recovery - extremely happy with my results
I do my best to stay physically fit and in shape. I watch my diet and exercise daily. However, I had a couple areas on my body that I was not happy with and knew that I needed some help. Therefore, after much thought, I made a decision to have some liposuction on my flanks / lower back. I was referred to Dr. Kim by another surgeon at Northwestern Hospital who was going to be performing a hernia repair surgery for me. My experience with both Dr. Kim and his office and surgical

They took amazing care during the procedure and my healing
I had a wonderful experience with the entire process of my breast surgery. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I was well informed, comfortable and prepared for each step in the process. They took amazing care during the procedure and during my healing time. I am absolutely happy with my results. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. Dr. Kim and his team would be my only choice going forward! Highly recommend and would give 10 stars! Thank you!
