Dr. David W. Kim Facial Plastic Surgery - San Francisco

I first went to Dr. Kim three years ago, but was too nervous at the idea of surgery to go through with it. After much consideration, I came back and was finally ready. He was very grateful I had time to fully embrace the idea of permanently altering my face, as its a serious surgery. He stressed that improvement—not perfection—is the goal, and educated me on how the surgery would be done. We agreed on a more feminine and refined nose that would still look like "me"

Dr Kim is did an amazing job on my Septoplasty/Revision Rhinoplasty /Rib Cartilage removal / scar revision. After he examined my nose, he walked me through his plans to fix my problems in great detail. He is very professional and direct, but also treats his patients with empathy. He did not make empty promises. He told me he will try his best and he did! Recovery was so much easier than I anticipated, with minimal bruising and swelling. At one week post-op I love my nose already!

Dr Kim is truly a great Dr. It took me over a decade to finally make a decision on who to do my rhino revision with. I've had several consultations with different Doctors, 3 in Beverly Hills, and left many of them confused, because of bedside manner, not enough information offered, etc. Right after my consult with Dr Kim, I knew that he was my Dr and scheduled a surgery date. I was able to communicate my goals and make a plan with him specific to me. Dr Kim is a professional and

I had a primary septorhinoplasty with another doctor to improve my breathing and was left with even worse breathing quality and my columella retracted inside of my nose, crooked and looking like a pig. The work the primary surgeon and decisions he made were completely a-typical of what an experienced surgeon would do after Dr. Kim plus three other surgeons read from my surgery note. I chose Dr. Kim as it was a decently complicated revision, he is a revision specialist and was

Dr. Kim saved my self-esteem and sanity. I know how big a statement that is, and I don't write this review lightly. I came to him a broken woman inside. To understand why Dr. Kim is so incredible, you need to know a little about the road that led me to him. After hating my God-given nose since childhood, I had always dreamt of a nose job. I chose a surgeon before my 21st birthday who not only didn't perform the surgery as described in our consultations, but also, my nose looked

All I can say is that Dr. Kim is excellent. For as long as I can remember, my nose has been my #1 insecurity. Anytime I'd look at photos of myself--or even when I would just look in the mirror--I'd notice it and become self conscious. For years, I tried and tried to simply "accept" my nose for the way it was, but I eventually realized that because of it, I would never truly be comfortable with the way I looked. It got to the point where it was affecting my mental health; sometimes

It’s rare in life to meet someone who approaches everything they do with so much humility and intention - and I was lucky enough to find that with Dr. Kim. I had a traumatic primary rhinoplasty with a different doctor that left me incredibly distrusting of plastic surgeons and with very low self esteem and depression. It’s hard to put into words how it feels to look in the mirror and no longer recognize yourself. The previous doctor had removed way too much cartilage from my
