I wanted to share my experience at SK Plastic Surgery. I had my surgery performed by Dr Steve Kim in Beverly Hills. Prior to meeting with him, I have had consultations with three other surgeons. Two were board certified plastic surgeons one was a facial plastic surgeon. Extensive research and a lot of coaching from my sister who is a nurse (not in plastic surgery) I find out that facial plastic surgeons are usually ENT surgeons. The ones that operate in your ears, nose and throat. On your sinuses and tonsil and ear drums. Then they take a year to learn how to do the cosmetic stuff on your face. Some go on to take some classes on lasers and then they say they are triple board certified or quadruple if they take another class. So please check the board certifications and where its coming from. I saw online a dermatologist and even a dentist claiming they were facial plastic surgeons with multiple board certifications. I would also be very wary of those who are board certified in Cosmetic Surgery. Done ranting and now back to my review. I met with Dr Kim as I wanted fo address the drooping along my jawline, loose skin on my neck and my hooded eyelids. I searched online and found Dr Kim and my sister had a friend who also was a nurse who had surgery with him. Later, I also found out my real estate agent knew someone who had surgery with Dr Kim as well. He was very thorough during the consultation. Addressed different surgery methods for my face neck and eyes. He didnt think I needed a full browlift but that a temple lift would help open up my eyes along with the upper eyelid surgery. Face and neck lift (extended deep plane preservation method).
Surgery took five and a half hours with general anesthesia. Which feminds me, make sure where you are having the procedure is Certified as well and who will be administering your anesthesia even if it is twilight. That's from my sister. After the procedure, surprisingly not as painful as expected. Pain, yes, but not excruciating. Aching dull pain and neck felt very tight. During the after surgery visits, Dr Kim was very attentive, careful and delicate. He made me feel at ease and guided me through the rough first few days. The ladies at the office were all very sweet as well.
I am now six months out and really liking the way it all turned out. The scars are perfect. Those I could tell from day one how well things were sewed together. The stiching looked like a machine did it very precise. The first week my husband was like OMG and very worried. But just the other day he said I looked beautiful with a big smile. I can't thank Dr Kim enough for his attention to detail, his reassuring confidencs, his caring bedside manners and most of all his awesome surgical skill and precision. I look like myself but very very refreshed, natural, not pulled, but definetly 100% improved. I am thrilled with my results. Thank you Dr Kim!
