Life Changing!
Dr. Ku changed my life! The pain I suffered every day for so long is now gone! I'm sorry that I waited this long to have this surgery done. Not only do I feel better, but I look better too! I used to hide from mirrors and now I love looking at myself. When I first saw my breasts the day after surgery, it looked like I had implants! Dr. Ku is a true artist. The recovery was so easy and the pain was minimal! I was back to work in a week. I also can't say enough about his office

Tummy tuck was worth it! I was once almost 300 pounds & left with extra skin
I cannot recommend Dr. Ku highly enough. I was once almost 300 pounds, and while I lost well over half that weight through life changes, diet, and exercise, I was still left with a lot of extra skin. It made my life miserable. It determined what I could wear, how I could stand in photos, and so much more. Dr. Ku did my arms first (will post separate review for this later), and I was so blown away by what a life-changing difference it was that I decided it would be absolutely worth

My results exceeded my expectations - perfect size for my frame
Love Dr Ku and staff. Had a removal of implants after 11 years and did breast lift. My results exceeded my expectations. I consulted with a few doctors and he was the only one that was confident in doing a lift without an implant, for some reason all the doctors pushed for it. I am so happy i chose the right surgeon. My boobs looks amazing even i went down from dd to cup b size which fits my frame. From start to finish everything was seamless. I’ve healed very good. He also fix

My cosmetic surgery experience here was amazing!
My cosmetic surgery experience here was amazing! Dr. Ku has wonderful bed side manor. He makes you so comfortable and he’s very informative. The best part is all of your appointments are WITH Dr.Ku. You don’t see Physician Assistants or Nurse Practitioner it’s always Dr.Ku. The patient coordinator and staff are all amazing as well! One of the things I loved most was that someone is always available. No matter what. They call or text you back quickly! Even on weekends.

My results are amazing - I’m very happy and very pleased
My experience with Dr. Ku was the best! He is great at what he does. I went to him in 2010 for a breast lift and augmentation after having twins and now 12 years later I went with him for another breast lift (I had my last child in 2016) and I also got an abdominoplasty!! My results are amazing! I’m very happy and very pleased ) I would recommend Dr. Ku to anybody! He’s a very nice and professional doctor and every visit was a breeze. He had this calmness about him that really

Extended tummy tuck 1 month post-op & completely in love with my results
Dr Ku was amazing!! I was very nervous to have surgery. But Dr. Ku had a calmness and confidence about himself that put me at ease. I’m completely in love with my results. Anytime I had a question or concern he was there. He even once had me come in after hours to check a drain. Although the healing process was harder than I expected, I’d 100% do it again.

Breast Aug for the Win!
After having one VERY LARGE child, my body produced enough milk for 2 babies. After breast feeding for a couple months, I was deflated and unhappy. Fast forward 8 years. Dr Ku gave me my body back. Could not be any happier. He gave me his opinion, I didn’t need implants but if I chose to, a ultra high profile silicone implant would achieve my goals. No life was necessary but will be in the far future. We went back and forth on size. I inevitably decided it was to be either 400CC

I am so happy with my decision to get an extended tummy tuck and breast augmentation
I am so happy with my decision to get an extended tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I had lost 134 pounds and was left with excess skin on my abdomen, back, and breast. I now feel great on the inside and the outside. My stomach has never been this flat, highly recommend Dr. Ku. He will work with you and do what is best for you.

Best Decision I Have Ever Made, Wished I Hadn't Waited So Long!!!!
Look no further, Dr Ku is the Dr for you!!!!! You will first talk to Jaylene, she will give you her own testimony on her personal experience from Dr Ku. From the moment Dr Ku entered my room he was very very professional, he put my worries to rest with his calming exam, and was in no hurry, he answered all of my questions. My situation was not your normal one, I had a horrible case where my abs had separated about 13 inches and thought that it was beyond repair. He assured me

Complication free breast reduction
The best plastic surgeon with the best team ever! Dr. Ku is extremely professional, smart, informative, and sweet. Scheduling is always quick, infact- from first consult to the day of procedure, it took about one month!! I came into my appointment knowing exactly what I wanted, and Dr. Ku understood right away what I expected and what my concerns were. I was at a 36G and wanted to go down to a double D. I was also a previous smoker so I was concerned about all the complications
