I had my breast augmentation surgery done in 2002 during a trip to the United States when I was 26. Now I'm 43 and they still look great.

I was looking for a plastic surgeon in 2003 to fix my disfigured breast implants that was poorly done at which time I accidentally found Dr. Kim. My previous surgeon inserted the implants in an old fashion way which has caused some disturbing cosmetic complications, therefore I was carefully and cautiously looking for a well qualified surgeon who can make my breasts look as natural and beautiful as possible. When I looked through Dr. Kim’s photo album of breast augmentations the first time, I immediately know that I have found the one.
I had my breast augmentation surgery done in 2003 and it looked amazing! I have received so many compliments and it really made me feel comfortable about myself. In the following few years, two of my best girlfriends as well as my hairdresser all decided to go to Dr. Kim for breast augmentation because of my surgery result.
In 2014 before I started my medical school, I decided to upgrade my breasts to the maximum size. I have a narrow frame, 800 ml implants were quite big for me, but Dr. Kim was able to fulfill my request and made me one of his happiest patients. They looked so beautiful yet natural looking and I was so happy and satisfied!!
Dr. Kim is soft spoken and kind, confident and highly competent. I was quite impressed how good he was at such a young age when I had my first surgery with him in 2003. Today he is even more experienced and qualified.
As a Medical Doctor and health care professional (I was a cardiac nurse in 2003), I have always been very cautious and selective on who’s allowed take care of me medically or surgically. I feel completely confident to recommend him to any of my friends or family members. And for myself, he will be my now and forever plastic surgeon.

Dr. Kim is truly the best at what he does. He gave me the breasts I have always dreamed of. I am about 4 months after having breast augmentation and couldn't be happier. He has you show him a photo of what you want to look like and I swear my breasts came out almost exactly the same as the photo! He has a great eye and will tell you what looks best for you! Thank you Dr. Kim

I now have the nose and breasts I ever dreamed of….
I had a breast augmentation and rhinoplasty & deviated septum

I was bullied throughout my childhood and made fun of. My nose caused me to be the center of unwanted attention. Not only was it the bullying that led me to have rhinoplasty, but it was also my breathing problems. I had a severe deviated septum. I have seen several bad nose jobs and was always terrified to give it a try. That is until I found Dr. David E Kim. I went in to several consolations with different Doctor’s, but when I met Dr. David E Kim in Beverly Hills I knew he was the right one for me. His staff made me feel right at home. During my consultation Dr. David Kim drew a sketch of my current nose, and explained, step by step, what he was going to do. I was also interested in getting a breast augmentation so i brought it up. He took a look at my breasts and did the same thing.

I have never had any procedures done or been put under in the past and I picked not only one major procedure, but two.

Both procedures went well and the team of staff and nurses at Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery are amazing, helpful, caring, patient, and understanding. They all took amazing care of me. Grace made sure pre and post check ups went well. Angel took amazing pictures and videos and answered questions. Paulina answers personal rhino questions i had/have for her. Stella and Kris welcome me with a large smile and let Dr. Kim know his patient has returned. At every check up the girls made me feel right at home.

It has now been two months since surgery and I can not say how happy and more confident i feel. Not only that, but i am able to breathe now, something I was not able to do before. I used to hide my nose behind sunglasses and now even if there is sun out I do not feel the need to put them on. The incision on my nose is not noticeable at all. The incision on my breasts disappeared, since I apply scar cream on my breasts everyday. The response from friends and family on my social media- IG: kart_m_lob was everything i expected. I get Direct Messages asking about breast size (left breast- 450 cc, right breast- 485 cc), nose pics, before and after. I believe Dr. David E. Kim will be getting some additional new clients soon.

Thank you for changing my life and making me feel comfortable in my own body.

I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Kim and I just have to say he ruined my nose. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. Do yourself a favor and go find a facial plastic surgery specialist who knows what he or she is doing because this doctor does not.

I had breast augmentation with Dr. Kim almost a year ago and I love the results. I consulted with a few other Beverly Hills surgeons before choosing him and based my decision on the number of positive reviews I found and the consistency of his before and after pictures. I have always been very slim and I also worried about the implants looking or feeling unnatural but he seemed confident he could give me the look and size I wanted. On the day of the surgery, I showed Dr. Kim some final pictures of what I liked and didn't like to remind him of the look I hoped to achieve. The results have been life changing so far. My implants turned out to be a perfect shape and size for my body. I'd recommend him to anyone considering this surgery!

Its been three years since i saw Dr Kim for a rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. I asked for a big reduction on my nose and then implants to take me from a C to a D. I ended up with a nose job where you cannot tell the difference, if anything i look worse as my tip is less refined and then my breasts I ended up an F cup, as soon as I came out of the theatre i knew it was a huge error and was in tears for weeks - he told me that was a normal reaction and id get used to them!

I had to have a reduction 9 months later (with a diff surgeon) which took me to an E and now I am about to go under the knife again as i cant live with these giant boobs, but unfortunately I need a full lift as the skin has stretched.

Dr Kim did not listen to what I requested, his bed side manner is terrible and all in all the whole experience has caused me a lot of emotional and financial stress, I do not recommend him.

I had 2 breast augmentations and 3 liposuction procedures with Dr. Kim. After both BA procedures he left me with terrible thick red scars. I had a CC less than two years and got even worse scars. I wanted him to fix an asymmetry from a cardiothoracic procedure but he refused add enough extra CCs to make up for the difference leaving me a C/DD despite two attempts to do this. I had lipo of the outer thighs and flanks for the first surgery without incident but then had terrible lumpy results on the liposuction of the abdomen. What makes it even worse was how heartless he was. When I had my first surgery I told them they'd never get an IV in me if I couldn't drink water the night before surgery. I came in ghost white about to faint (which is also when they give you all the info./risk info. that they make you lie and say the doctor went over - which he never did) He never said hi or a kind words as I was tortured with needles for a solid hour to get an IV in. Just sat there looking at his watch and giving botox to one of the girls in his office. Finally they got me two bottles of water and had me drink them so they could make their money (I guess the water/safety issue doesn't matter once it becomes inconvenient for them). The only thing he said to me before surgery was that he'd need an extra $500 to fix a scar. In my post-op appointments he acted blind to all problems. When I had a redo (and gave him another chance to fix his work) I asked about doing silicone sheeting to help with scars. He said not to. As soon as the bandages came off I could tell one scar was going to be awful (it wasn't that I scar badly as he liked to put it). It was done with zero finesse. Then the jerk had the nerve to tell me later that I could have used silicone sheeting to make it better. What an jerk.
