Testimonials

Testi "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."

All I have to say is that, I am very happy that I chose you as my surgeon. I have no regrets; I really feel that this was all worth it.

Testi "Dr. Kim,

My breasts are awesome! Full D’s (or DD’s- not sure which yet) make me feel like a porn star. I’ve bought many new tops (all sexier than the next) which accentuate my non-push-up bra cleavage (good-bye padded bras).

I used to feel uncomfortable baring my breasts and now I want to all the time.

P.S. to prospective patients – go for the larger size, if you are going to do it, really go for it."

Thank you so much for doing a terrific job on my breasts!"

Thank you for being the greatest Surgeon. You are such a wonderful doctor I ever met. Keep up with your good work. I am certainly appreciated for making my breast as nice as the way I expected. I would recommend friends to come here next time.

Dr. Kim, you are not only just a surgeon but you are such a young attractive doctor also. I wish you the best of luck on your career."

Testi "Dear Dr. Kim,

Having Dr. Kim do my rhinoplasty surgery was the best decision I’ve done. Of course I had seen other plastic surgeons before Dr. Kim for a consultation, but Dr. Kim was different. He made me feel comfortable, knew what I wanted, and answered all my questions. Since my surgery, “which was almost 4 months ago”, my confidence increased dramatically, I feel like a different person who can just do anything. I’m positive that he will do the same for you if you are thinking of having any type of surgery done. He can give you my phone number, if you have any questions. I know I was nervous too, but it will and I am positive of this be the best decision you’ve ever made.

P.S. I will be seeing you again Dr. Kim."
C.D.
Testi "Dear Dr. Kim,

Just wanted to say thank you for changing my life! Having Liposuction was the best thing I ever did! I feel much more confident about myself. I really love how I look and I have gotten lots of compliments on my flat tummy! I can’t wait to go to the beach and not have to worry about how I look on having to wear a cover up. I never expected such a smooth and speedy recovery!

However, the very best part of it all is my awesome results! Thank you for my new body! (No more inches to pinch) I feel like a new woman since my surgery.

Thank you for being such a kind and patient doctor."

Testi "For the last year I have been Dr. Kim’s medical assistant. I have seen the transformation of countless patients from their first consultation until their last post-op appointment. If anyone could testify on behalf of Dr. Kim’s surgical ability it would be me.

I am proud to work for such a talented surgeon. It is a pleasure to be able to treat Dr. Kim’s patients. They are always so pleased with their results. It’s inspiring to see how a cosmetic procedure can give so much more to a patient than merely an aesthetically, pleasing look.

I am also a patient of Dr. Kim. He has performed all of my cosmetic procedures. I have had full body liposuction, breast augmentation and lip augmentation. It has made a big difference in how I look and feel. The results turned out even better than I had hoped for.

Making the choice to have cosmetic surgery is a big decision. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a board certified plastic surgeon whom you can trust. Dr. Kim’s work speaks for itself. Almost all of this new patients are generated from the referrals of his previous patients.

I now can proudly add myself to that list. I highly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone who is considering any form of cosmetic surgery."
