Better than I thought would be possible.

I've never had perky breasts. I've had 3 pregnancies and nursed a total of nearly 4.5 years. I couldn't wear strapless bras they would just pull my boobs down and I was so sick of them with no shape and just hanging. My neck and shoulder pain was also pretty bad and I noticed immediately how much lighter I feel so far and neck and shoulder pain so much better. The incisions are incredible and I can't wait to be in the final healing stages. Updated on 8 Jul 2022:

Dr. Kim is a perfectionist at everything he does. He takes his time during consultation and describes with detail the process of the surgery. I am extremely happy with the results!! Thank you Dr. Kim!

51-year Old Finally Gets a Breast Lift (Anchor Lift) No Implants - Wish I Had It Done Much Sooner!

Since my mid-20s I wished that my breasts were perkier. Over time, they drooped more and more, and I finally decided to have a breast lift in November 2017. I had a face and neck lift done at the same time (I’ll post a separate review shortly). I consulted with three surgeons and I selected Dr. Kim because he was the only doctor to very thoroughly explain what the procedure would involve and answered all my questions very patiently - including the one why a lollipop lift that another surgeon recommended would not work and most importantly, produce lasting results in my case. The procedures were done in Dr. Kim’s on-site surgery center. 8 months later, I am very, very happy with the results. My breasts finally have the “built-in” support I was looking for for many years, and have a nice perky shape. My scars have not completely faded yet, but I knew that would be a longer process for me, as it has been with all my scars. In mid July, I had my last follow-up appointment. Dr Kim was satisfied with the result, but noted that the skin on the underside of the breast (between the areola and the crease) has stretched more than usual, and offered to tighten the skin some more in a follow-up procedure. This will also help the top of the breast appear fuller again. I accepted and the procedure will be done in October. I just wish I had not waited to have a breast lift for so long. Initially I was surprised when doctors told me I could go back to work 4-5 days after a breast lift, but it is true. I had hardly any discomfort after 4 days, other than sensitivity, and would have been back at work had it not been for the face lift. And for those concerned about scars - they will fade, it just takes time. And afterwards, you’ll be so happy you went for it. Dr. Kim is a perfectionist which shows in everything he does: from the consultations, to the procedure, to the long term follow-up and offering corrections if necessary. And importantly, he has the experience and skills to create the results that he envisions. At the same time, he is very honest. He will tell you straight up if he thinks a procedure won’t work for you, or if he thinks a different approach will work better. I recommend Dr. Kim to anybody, and am planning to have additional procedures done by him in the future.

He made me look like a star!

I initially went to Dr Kim to have my genetically hooded eye lids fixed. I am a local physician and I have heard his names from my patients as well as other physicians for about the last 20 + years, so there was no question I was going to see him when it was time. I ended up having upper and lower blepharoplasty and lower facelift at age 48. Now it is 4 years later and I can’t be happier. People are shocked when they find out I had any procedures done. Everyone thinks I am in my early 30’s. I can tell you that past 4 years I have actually gotten better and better looking despite not having anything else done. He really is a magician. I refer everyone to him.

Alla is AMAZING!!! Truly an artist at her profession. I have been getting injections for 10 yrs... since I found Allah a couple years ago, I won't go anywhere else. She's honest, gentle, and an expert. I travel an hour to see her because she's simply the best!

I had an amazing facelift! I'm Asian and he did my eye lift perfectly.

He is the best! He's Michelangelo with a knife. I got a facelift and lipo and the facelift turned out so natural. I have been asked for his contact info. from my friends. I hope he does NOT retire any time soon because I want him to do future procedures.

AMAZING DOCTOR!!

The BEST DOCTOR! He is mild mannered, soft spoken, kind and caring. Most of all he is very knowledgeable and doesn't try to sell you on any procedures. Only has the best interest of his patients in mind :))

I had an amazing experience with both Dr. Kim & Alla

Dr. Kim is really awesome! I had a consultation with him and he was nothing but genuine & honest. At first I was hesitant because there was a consult fee but after talking to him, I now understand that time is very precious. He was very informative & patient with me. I was able to ask all the questions I had in minds without a problem. Previous to seeing him I saw a few doctors who rushed the consult & seemed frustrated that I was asking questions. After doing a lot of research & consultations, the majority were trying to convince me to do surgery without my best interest in mind. For example, many of the doctors previous to Dr. Kim told me that when it comes to a breast Aug, doing the incision through the under arms was a bad thing & not a good choice... when in reality it's a technique many surgeons don't master because it's a very complex . As for the Aesthetic Nurse Alla, she has done my lips, my cheeks, my chin, laser etc etc & I can't stop getting compliments!!! She is very conservative and ensures you get the results you want while still looking like yourself! I love this office. The staff is great & I have referred all my friends to them who also LOVE the results they have gotten from both surgery and non surgical procedures. I will be coming back time and time again.

Best face lift ever!

Dr Kim is the finest , most skilled and most detailed surgeon I know, focusing on making sure his patients look natural and amazing. I had my full face lift over 10 years ago and it still looks amazing...Zero scars! He is ethical, gifted and professional.
