Caroline Min, MD

My breast augmentation was the first elective surgery I’ve ever had, so I was understandably nervous and cautious. I did extensive research and felt overwhelmed by the number of options available. I’m so glad I chose Dr. Min.

I went to multiple consultations, including $200 appointments in Beverly Hills and some referrals from friends. While I felt confident in the qualifications of all the doctors I met, I ultimately chose Dr. Min for several key reasons.

First, she was the only surgeon who personally took the time to answer all of my questions. Unlike other practices that pushed me onto a surgery coordinator for most surgery questions, Dr. Min handled everything herself. I completely understand that surgeons are busy, and I respect that their time is valuable, but breast augmentation is a major investment, and very nerve-wracking. I had a lot of questions, and Dr. Min never once made me feel like a burden. She reviewed all of the photos I brought in and even replied to my follow-up emails personally. While I’m sure many coordinators are knowledgeable, I appreciated being able to speak directly with the person performing the surgery.

Second, Dr. Min was refreshingly realistic and transparent about my expectations. I wanted larger implants that still looked very natural, which can be a challenge when starting with minimal breast tissue. She didn’t overpromise; instead, she took the time to walk me through the limitations and possibilities, and how we could achieve a result that looked great and suited my lifestyle. We reviewed various size profiles and how each would look on my frame.

Third, as someone who is very committed to exercise - especially Lagree Pilates - I was concerned about recovery time and how the surgery might affect my routine. I asked so many questions about this, and not once did Dr. Min seem impatient or dismissive. Her responses were thorough, practical, and reassuring.

Finally, while not a deciding factor, it was a major plus that her office is located in the San Gabriel Valley. I’m based in Glendale, and it was a huge convenience not to have to drive to Beverly Hills or the Westside every time I had an appointment. It made post-op visits much less stressful.

Recovery:
My recovery went incredibly smoothly. I was able to switch from prescription pain medication to Tylenol just two days after surgery, and stopped taking pain relievers entirely within a week. By the end of that first week, my body already felt like it had always looked this way - natural and just right. I’m now 11 weeks post-op, and I feel amazing. All my clothes still fit, but I feel so much more confident in them.

The entire experience - from consultation to follow-up - was easy, professional, and genuinely empowering. I would recommend Dr. Min without hesitation to anyone considering a breast augmentation.

Recovery Gear Recommendations:
I highly recommend the Marena FlexFit Medium Coverage bras - they were super comfortable and provided great support during the healing process. For pillows, I bought the 7” InteVision Foam Bed Wedge Pillow on Amazon, which helped keep me sleeping on my back (I was a lifelong stomach sleeper before surgery). I also picked up a bed rest support pillow, the kind that props you up while sitting in bed, and it made a big difference in staying comfortable, especially in the first few days post-op. Both were essential for a smooth recovery.

I had a labiaplasty and majoraplasty in August 2024 with Dr Min and I could not be happier. She was so caring throughout the whole process. I am loving the results. She’s a skilled surgeon and I could not have hoped for a better result!

Caroline Min is an excellent surgeon who gave me a lower facelift that I couldn’t be more pleased with. She immediately understood what I needed help with and was thorough in her explanation of the procedure that awaited and what my recovery time would be. I was out to dinner with my husband two weeks post surgery! I look younger and refreshed but not stretched or plastic. I’m thrilled with the results!

I had a wonderful experience from beginning to end. I came in to consult about buccal fat removal initially, but Dr. Min correctly diagnosed my need for submental liposuction and marionette filler. Due to my facial structure, buccal fat removal would have made little improvement and would age poorly.
I'm really thrilled with my results, so I'm very thankful for Dr. Min's eye for aesthetics and impressive knowledge.
I opted for local anesthesia, and although I was nervous, Dr. Min worked swiftly and gently. She communicated with me very well during the procedure and made sure I was comfortable throughout. Afterwards, I did not have a single bruise. The healing was a breeze and my results were instantaneous.
I highly recommend Dr. Min and her magical hands!

I am extremely happy with my breast lift done by Dr Min. She was very caring and explained the procedure in detail to my husband and I. Her follow up appointments were easy to schedule and she made me feel very comfortable through it all. I would highly recommend her!

I am very pleased with the results of my procedure with Dr. Min. I had undereye, cheek and chin filler. It looks very natural and I look younger but no one can tell what I had done. I didn't even feel much pain during the injections - she is very gentle and I had no bruising either. There was some discomfort later that night, and for a few days. But, it was definitely worth it!

I was very glad to choose Dr. Min for my labiaplasty procedure. She was very professional and skilled as a physician from the time of my consultation, pre-op visit, surgery and post-op appointments. She explained the procedure thoroughly and did an amazing job. On top of her vast knowledge, she was also very caring and kind. I would highly recommend her as a plastic surgeon for anyone who is interested in undergoing a labiaplasty and vaginal rejuvenation surgery.

Dr Min is an amazing and excellent surgeon. The results post surgery were exceptional, she explained the procedure and my recovery went well.
She listens to your concerns, explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand, and has several years of experience and I trust her work!

So excited and so nervous, have been waiting over 10 years for this. Has anyone had Dr Caroline Min do a procedure for you? Any comments please. She seems very compassionate and caring, can't wait. Dr Min will be doing a full tummy tuck with look of the flanks. As I keep looking I am thinking I may need look in other areas. But I will still to the original plan for now, I don't want to do too much.

I was in the search for a female surgeon, and getting a labiaplasty was scary at first, but I swear the same day of my surgery I was already walking, it felt just like if I would of cut myself with a razor while shaving, the pain was very minor. I'm still healing but I'm loving the results ! Thank you doctor ! I'm thinking of getting a fat transfer to my buttocks with her by early of next year because I trust her completely .
