Why Plastic Surgery?

Plastic surgery isn't just my profession—it's my passion. I love what I do, and it shows in every consultation, every procedure, and every result. My journey to becoming a plastic surgeon was driven by a desire to help others feel confident and beautiful in their own skin.

I started practicing as a plastic surgeon at age 32, making me one of the youngest board-certified plastic surgeons in the United States at the time. Since then, I've thoroughly enjoyed every moment, continuously refining my skills and staying at the forefront of aesthetic innovation.

Personalized Care, Every Time

Everyone is unique, and your consultation with me will result in a plan that is just for you. One size does not fit all. After talking with you, examining your anatomy, and even using advanced 3D imaging software, we'll develop an optimal strategy that aligns with your desires, expectations, timeline, and budget.

Whether you're considering breast augmentation, a facelift, liposuction, or non-surgical facial rejuvenation, I ensure that you receive a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. My goal is to enhance your natural beauty while maintaining your unique character.

Approachable Excellence

People who know me describe me as smart, knowledgeable, and caring—but also down to earth and approachable. I genuinely want to get to know YOU and listen to YOU because, in the end, it's not about me: it's all about you.

I strive to understand your dreams and goals so we can work together to achieve them. Building long-term relationships with my patients is incredibly important to me. The only way to build that bond is through open communication and trust from the moment you step into my office.

Staying at the Forefront

Plastic surgery has evolved dramatically over the years, and I pride myself on staying current with the latest techniques and technology. From more refined surgical methods to improved pain control, lower complication risks, and less invasive procedures, the field continues to advance—and I'm committed to bringing these innovations to my patients.

I serve on several committees for the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, including the Social Media Committee (focused on patient education and engagement) and the Quality Performance and Measurements Committee (working with the federal government to measure quality in plastic surgery).

I also review articles for the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal, the world's most prestigious peer-reviewed plastic surgery publication. This keeps me connected to cutting-edge research and advances in the field.

However, I maintain a healthy amount of skepticism. Not every "latest" technique or device is proven or worth the hype. My patients trust me to offer only the most advanced, evidence-based treatments that deliver real results.

Passion & Dedication

Plastic surgery is my life's work, and I bring enthusiasm and dedication to every procedure. My sharp eye and years of experience allow me to deliver results that look natural, beautiful, and rejuvenating. Making you happy is my only priority.

Individualized Plans

Every patient is unique, and cookie-cutter approaches don't work in aesthetic surgery. I create customized treatment plans based on your specific anatomy, goals, lifestyle, and expectations—ensuring results that enhance your natural beauty.

Advanced Expertise

I stay at the cutting edge of plastic surgery through continuous education, committee involvement with ASPS, peer review for prestigious journals, and attendance at international conferences. You benefit from the most proven, advanced techniques available.

Genuine Connection

I'm approachable, down-to-earth, and genuinely invested in getting to know you. Building trust and long-term relationships with my patients is paramount. Open communication and mutual respect are the foundation of everything I do.

He is very responsive to any inquiries I had, and made me feel at ease. He explained what I should expect for the surgery, and that was exactly what I got. Overall, I am very happy with the services and the results of my augmentation! I would highly recommend Dr. Kim to others.

  • I have been going to Dr Kim for over 5 years now and I can testify to how great his work holds up over time, as well as his professional manner and the ease at which he cares for his patients. He is always quick to get back to me and clarifies anything I’m confused about. He also makes great choices in his front desk staff, and I have loved interacting with them whenever I have questions or need to schedule appointments. I recommend him more than I could ever recommend any doctor ever.

  • Grateful for Dr. Kim and him working on the Island on Wednesdays to make it convenient and accessible for quality care and treatments at a competitive rate! He’s always in the know on cutting edge skin care and techniques to keep my 40+ year old skin looking great! When Allē stopped working as well on me, he told me about a Korean product that works much better on me and is more affordable. Win-win! Thank you Dr. Kim!

  • I had an excellent experience from start to finish. The surgeon was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. Every question I had was answered thoroughly, and I always felt confident that I was in expert hands. I also want to specifically highlight the patient coordinator, who truly made the experience seamless. She was responsive, organized, and kind, and made scheduling, communication, and follow-ups incredibly easy. Having someone so attentive and reassuring made a huge difference and took a lot of the stress out of the process. Overall, the care, professionalism, and attention to detail from both the surgeon and the patient coordinator exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this practice to anyone considering a procedure.
