I was recommended to Dr. Kim from a friend of mine to get my double eye lid surgery. I was super nervous as this was my first time getting surgery of any sorts. Made a consult appointment with Dr. Kim and immediately felt at ease talking with him about my desired shape and look of my eyes. He was really patient and attentive during my consultation and just seemed to know exactly what kind of look I wanted. It was so reassuring knowing that this doctor was very experienced in this area and even does surgery to fix droopy eyes. Dr. Kim explained to me their was a procedures he does called ptosis that could help fix this. He showed me many before and afters to give me a clear idea of what I could expect my results to look like. All of his patients looked so much more refreshed and awake after ptosis. I saw a patient that had similar eyes as I do and loved how ptosis really made her appear more youthful. I was so excited to get this procedure done .

During the day of surgery I was sweating bullets, but Dr. Kim and his staff were so sweet and kept reassuring me that everything will be fine and that Dr. Kim does this all the time. During surgery he put me under local anesthesia so you are awake but numb as he is doing the surgery. He sat me up so he could check that the shape of my eyes were symmetrical. He looked at me at various angles to make sure my eyes were perfect. The surgery took about one hour. Immediately after surgery I could feel that my eyes could open wider and I didn’t have to force my eyes to open bigger like I used to. I could feel my eyes using less of my muscles to open my eyes. Never knew I was exerting so much energy into opening and closing my eyes until now.

Five days after surgery I returned to get my sutures removed. Pretty quick and painless. I could already see my eyes healing nicely and my new eye lid shape start to form. Can’t believe they already looked so natural!! A few weeks later my swelling has improved even more. My friends and family love my new eyes and are shocked as well that I just had surgery only a few weeks ago. Not only do I have beautiful eyes, but I can now open my eyes more effortlessly. My eye lids just feel more lighter and it just feels easier to open my eyes. Thank you Dr. Kim for giving me my amazing new eyes and really taking care of me throughout the whole process. You and your staff have been so incredible!! Hope you like the treats I sent!
