Unique Considerations for Plastic Surgery and Breast Implants in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is not only a diverse and popular tourist destination, but it also is one of the most popular locations in the country, and around the world, for plastic and breast augmentation surgery. Its year-round mild climate, cultural landmarks, popular restaurants and many beaches make the city especially appealing. With the perception being that residents of this city are highly concerned about physical appearance, breast implants, tummy tuck, nose jobs and Botox are some of the most highly desired and requested procedures, and many of our plastic surgeons are renowned for performing them on their celebrity clientele. For this reason, as well as their personal and professional code of conduct, they adhere to the strictest of confidentiality and privacy desired by every patient, as well as their celebrity clients. Although our plastic surgeons often have their own fully accredited facilities, most are affiliated with two of the world's most prestigious hospitals -- Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and UCLA Medical Center – both on the west side of the city and both internationally acclaimed for the quality of care and skill of the physicians and staff affiliated with them. Since a large number of celebrities live in the city and its surrounding communities, you likely have noticed that media outlets are quick to publish stories in print newspapers, magazines or on television about celebrities and their cosmetic procedures, and although in some measure, they might be influential in the physician you choose, your in-person consultation with the physician will be most helpful in deciding who will best help you reach your breast augmentation goals.
Getting Breast Implants in Los Angeles
Considering that so many celebrities calling Los Angeles home, it shouldn't be surprising that hundreds of plastic surgeons practice around Hollywood—and that the West Coasters get more breast implants and other plastic surgeries than any other region of the country. That means you'll have plenty of options to choose from, if you choose to undergo your breast augmentation in Los Angeles.
If you're having a breast augmentation done in Los Angeles you can expect to pay from $7,000-$11,000 for breast implants there. However, keep in mind that the top echelon of plastic surgeons in Los Angeles may charge even more than that price for their services.
If you decide to travel to Los Angeles for plastic surgery, you may be able to do much of the prep work (including labs) before you arrive in town for your breast implants. Your doctor can help you coordinate any advance preparation you need. You will also want to ask your plastic surgeon how long you'll need to stay in town after the surgery—you'll need to factor the cost of the hotel into your budget planning for your breast implants.
If you're traveling from out of town for your breast augmentation, you should ask your plastic surgeon about the best locations to stay for your recovery. Many plastic surgeons have arranged special deals with some of the top luxury hotels in the area, where patients can relax and have surgical nurses and medical professionals on hand to help administer medications and monitor for any complications with their surgery. Plastic surgeons may even have a “concierge” or other staff members available to help you arrange transportation after your surgery and make all of your hotel and travel arrangements for you.
Los Angeles has a variety of accommodation options available, if you're looking for somewhere to stay after you receive your breast implants. There are several dedicated plastic surgery recovery centers, which strictly cater to plastic-surgery patients. Pearl Recovery Retreat, located in the SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills, offers luxury accommodations, a private entrance and private transportation to allow for discreet recovery, and full-time nursing staff to offer any assistance you need. Serenity plastic surgery aftercare facility is housed within a Santa Monica Surgical Center, but definitely doesn't have a hospital vibe, with its upscale amenities and full spa facilities. Most of the top luxury hotels in the area have also served guests recovering from plastic surgery, so they should be able to help cater to your needs.
And of course, if you are traveling to Los Angeles for plastic surgery, consider arriving a few days before your procedure or staying for at least a week afterward, to allow yourself some time to recuperate from your surgery without worrying about missing out on sightseeing.

"My story begins in June of 2001, when I underwent gastric bypass surgery. A year and 110lbs. later, I was looking pretty sad. My breasts looked like tube socks with sand in the bottoms of them and my belly had done lapped over my belt. So off to the gym I went, where I signed up with a personal trainer. I made some progress in muscle tone but nothing seemed to be helping with the mass of hanging, loose skin. I was not a happy camper.
As reluctant as I am to see a doctor and submit to surgery, I decided that I definitely needed help. I got on the internet and started doing research on plastic surgeons. I found Dr. Kim’s website, and his boob jobs looked the best. I e-mailed him and he promptly responded back to me. I set up an appointment with Dr. Kim’s office for a consultation where I was met by professional and courteous people. Dr. Kim did a thorough examination of me. We discussed my surgical option, the results I could expect with each procedure, and the recovery process, with full disclosures of possible complications.
We decided on breast augmentation, a tummy tuck and liposuction. These procedures were performed by Dr. Kim at the on-site surgery center in Encino in October of 2002. The staff was very friendly, very compassionate and very professional. My surgery was completed with no complications. I was very pleased with the treatment that I received there. I was so happy with the results of my first procedure that I contacted Dr. Kim again. I was concerned wit the abundance of loose skin on my thighs and the ledge on my butt and I needed additional lift of my breasts.
I met with Dr. Kim, and he suggested that I have a thigh lift, a crescent lift and more liposuction which was done in October of 2003. This time the procedure was performed in the surgery suite at the Beverly Hills office and again I can not praise Dr. Kim and his staff enough for their professionalism and compassionate care.
I have had excellent recoveries from both surgeries and could not be happier with the results. Dr. Kim is a very skilled an experienced surgeon who surrounds himself with a skilled and professional staff. So if you are like me and all of your North has gone south and you think you need some professional help, Dr. David Kim is the surgeon for you."
"Dear Dr. Minniti,
Thank you for being my prince of plastic surgery! Through the magical touch of your hands, I awoke from a deep sleep with a few enhancements I had been dreaming of. Thank you for making me feel like a Princess!!"
