ORIGINAL POST

Compassionate & Extremely Talented Surgeon

Nancy Shafer

It has been a devastating four year battle since being botched by a prominent Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. I had gone in for liposuction on my arms. The surgeon overworked and then burned my arms with laser. He was so egotistical that he never admitted or accepted any blame for mutilating my arms.

I met with many plastic surgeons, including well known celebrity plastic surgeons. I even traveled to New York. They all had different ideas on how to approach my mutilated arms. Some were ridiculously expensive and others wanted nothing to do with my case. They all looked at me with such pity. How could a board certified Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon be so incompetent. 

The minute I met Dr Kwon I felt a feeling of relief. He had such a calm demeanor that it made me feel safe. With Dr Kwon you don’t get the ego driven vibe that you get from most plastic surgeons. He’s so down to earth and humble, especially for someone who is so talented. 

He never made over the top promises. He explained what he would do step-by-step. It was going to be a long process and it was not going to be fixed overnight. He made it very clear that it was never going to be 100% but confident that he would make it better than it was. I ended up doing three fat transfer surgeries and in December I was finally ready for the major reconstructive surgery to try and make one linear scar. 

I’ll never forget my first fat transfer surgery with Dr Kwon. I was so scared after being traumatized by the last surgeon who botched me. I started crying uncontrollably before the surgery began. Dr Kwon sat with me and gave me time to get myself together. He was caring with every operations he did on me. He would sit with me and just chat. I’ve never had a doctor do that before. 

Dr Kwon is a compassionate and extremely talented doctor. Doctors like that don’t come along that often and I am so lucky that I found him. He saved me from a horrible situation and I am forever grateful! Thank you.

Did you get a second arm lift with the scar down the inside of your arm. Your arms look so much tighter.
