First off, keep in mind I got a breast augmentation, not eye surgery, so my review will obviously be very different than the others who received eyelid procedures.

It’s been about 6 months post-op. After many weeks of researching capable doctors, I chose Kenneth Kim based on his experience and just my intuition nudging me to. The day of the consultation, he spent over an hour sitting with me discussing the surgery procedure, before & after effects, and answered any questions I had. He wasn’t in a hurry to push me out even though he had a waiting room full of patients, and made sure I felt comfortable and was knowledgeable about the entire procedure. I also didn’t feel like he was pushing me to hurry and make another appointment for the actual surgery – but no need for him to. I already had a great feeling talking to him and afterwards sat with one of the nurses (also very nice, helpful and knowledgeable) to discuss costs and scheduling.The day of the surgery comes two weeks later – yes, I was impatient  I went under local anesthesia and am INFINITELY grateful for that decision. After taking a couple prescription pills I knocked out. It was pretty much like going under general anesthesia, I felt like I just took a long and comfortable nap. I know I wasn’t completely out of it because I remember bits and pieces of leaving the building afterwards and going home, but obviously during the actual procedure I remember nothing. I’ve been under general anesthesia several times and it takes me weeks to recover, but choosing local this time was amazing because I felt fine the next day. I was awake, alert and pretty much normal besides the pain.Recovery time was astonishingly short. I was back to work three days after the surgery and walking around, and two weeks later I actually went to a club with friends! Aside from the initial expected pain, nothing else out of the ordinary happened and my implants are beautifully healed now. I got an axillary incision, and those scars are still visible but have faded a lot and I hope they continue to fade at the same rate. I have absolutely no complaints and am so happy I chose Dr. Kim to do my procedure. I’ve received follow-up calls to check on my progress, and also great assistance whenever I call with questions.

I understand there are some people who haven’t had the same luck I had with him based on some of the negative reviews, but I really feel like those people didn’t do the proper amount of research. I realize I know nothing about their situations and am in no place to make judgments…but I researched for months and met various doctors before choosing Dr. Kim. It sounds like a lot of people had legit medical problems with their eyes, so I don’t know if automatically going to plastic surgeon before seeing an ocular surgeon was the best idea. But what do I know about eyelid surgery? All I’m saying is that for future potential surgery-goers, don’t base your opinion just on the negative reviews you see. I assure you this doctor has adequate experience and makes sure you are comfortable and knowledgeable, and does not pressure you in any way. You’ll realize what I mean once you meet him and speak with him during consultation.

I’m so happy with my results  I can never thank him enough for saving me from the misery of being flat-chested. Best decision I have ever made!!!
