Highly Recommended!!
Dr. Kim is an all star! Being premed, she’s someone I look up to, and as far as being a patient, she is someone I felt did a spectacular job! From pre-op to surgery to post-op, I truly felt cared for and in phenomenal hands. Her staff is also amazing and in particular, Cynthia, made a positive impact on my overall post op appointment. Thank you Dr. Kim for being a strong, lovable physician in a sometimes male dominated speciality. You rock!

18 Years Post Lumpectomy and Radiation...breast Restored Through Fat Transfers
I had breast cancer in 2000 and received a lumpectomy, radiation (including nipple), and large biopsy which left me with a little more than half a breast with a nipple bent completely toward the right side so that the nipple was barely visible. Most of the right side of the right breast consisted of hard scar tissue and the right breast stood high on the chest from radiation and was half size due to treatment. Over the years the normal left breast gained weight and drooped leaving
Beautiful results
Elizabeth Kim is a masterful surgeon. I researched quite of few options for my preventative double mastectomy with reconstruction and chose her following the recommendation of my breast oncologist, her direct, humorous bedside manner, and her promise to minimize surgeries to 2, when other plastic surgeons wanted to perform a minimum of 3. I am so pleased with the results. My breasts are truly beautiful! The best part is she takes insurance.
So happy with my new breasts!
I had a breast reduction from Dr. Kim 10 weeks ago. She did a beautiful job taking me from a DDD to a perfect C. I healed very quickly, and my breasts are even and look great. I was nervous when I went in for my consultation, but her cheerful, sweet, and thoughtful manner put me at ease immediately. She let me talk and ask a million questions and answered each one. Her office took the reins and helped me get my insurance company's approval. The day of pre-op and then on
Comfort during my post breast cancer surgery and reconstruction.
Dr. Elizabeth Kim: AWESOME PHYSICIAN!, and I acknowledge and believe that GOD ordained our meeting! I knew I was going to experience an experience the moment she walked into the exam(more like a comfort) room! Her beautiful, comforting smile is amazing while I'm on this journey of breast reconstuction, post breast cancer surgery. Dr. Kim's staff is also just as comforting and awesome as she is! I was so touched when I was called by Juanisha(could be spelled wrong

Grateful For Surgeon Dr. Kim's Expertise & Talent On My Breast Cancer Reconstructive Surgery
Grateful to have had the compassionate & talented Dr Betty Kim do reconstructive surgery following my breast cancer. I had lost quite a bit of tissue from my lumpectomy & subsequent radiation. I am an athletic woman and found myself really unbalanced due to the different sizes of my breasts and I was beginning to feel very uncomfortable. After meeting with my breast oncologist (Dr. Bill Audeh) & breast surgeon (Dr. Alice Chung) they both pointed me in Dr. Kim's direction.
Breasts look better then ever after Double Mastectomy
One year ago (when I was 30 years old) I was diagnosed with DCIS Stage 1 breast cancer. One of my biggest fears was how my breasts were going to look after everything. During my consultation with one of the doctors at Cedars Sinai - I expressed how important to me that my breasts look as normal as possible after a double mastectomy. He then referred me to best reconstructive cosmetic surgeon ever - Dr. Betty Kim and because of her, I have the best confidence any woman can dream
I am hoping to have relief from the upper and lower back pain. I'd like to learn to run, for the first time in my life. Tired of wearing bras with no support to avoid pain. I developed large breasts as an 11 year old child. I don't know what life will be like with smaller breasts. I am a little nervous about the recovery phase. Updated on 27 Mar 2016: I've just read some other ladies posts about how they felt before surgery. I began to ask myself, 'How do YOU feel?' Well, that

Dr. Betty Kim is AMAZING! Los Angeles, CA
First, Dr. Kim's staff is outstanding. They are gracious and professional all the while creating a warm and welcoming environment. And they run a tight ship; I've never waited more than three or four minutes. Dr. Betty Kim is highly skilled, very straightforward about what can and cannot be achieved, and so delightful. She removed encapsulated implants, reduced previous scarring, and did some pretty amazing fat grafting. Thanks to Dr. Kim (and breast cancer) I'm 50 and have
Well, I've been a realself.com stalker for about 8 months now, ever since I decided to resize the girls. I'm scheduled for surgery August 29, and can't wait! I was diagnosed with Lupus in 2004, and have suffered from fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis for many years as well. I'm 45, 5'7" 138 lbs. over the last two years, my back and dock pain has increased significantly, as has my breast size. I was a 34D at the time of my Lupus diagnosis, trying without success to have a child.
