SK's office staff told me that Steve Kim's (SK) specialty was blepharoplasty. I got this procedure with him. It was the biggest regret. If I can change back time, I would never have gotten this with him. Medically and cosmetically. all wrong! His MEDICAL mistake : right after the procedure, I noticed my eye lids did not close all the way.
They told me that this was common and that it will get better as the swelling subsides. After a week of no improvement, they said to wait about a month. They said it can take several weeks to a month and everyone heals differently. One staff said to go see an ophthalmologist if my eyes were so dry. It has been over a year and Dr. Kim had a zoom call with me and suggested things like inserting heavy eye gel, massaging the lids, and even taping the lids shut at night.
None of those worked. Due to this, my vision has worsened and I am constantly needing eye drops. I cannot sleep more than 4-5 hours as the pain from dry eyes wakes me up. As the result of the procedure performed by Dr. SK, I suffer from painful, dry eyes every day. I am reminded daily how much I regret getting this procedure done by SK. Before the procedure, I have never had dry eyes nor needed eye drops to lubricate my eyes.
His COSMETIC mistake: He cut the lines of the lids 2 cm PAST the corners of my eyes.one side has an upturned angle and the skin now puckers around it. They are uneven nevertheless. Several weeks post-op, SK said Botox will take care of this. So he administered Botox.it did not work. SK later said he can revise it by cutting 2 cm longer than it already is (he said this in-person during one of our follow ups). Later, when I emailed him about it (after our zoom call), he never responded.
I am told by my friends and family that even after over a year, my eyes do not look natural.rather it looks as if I got a "bad eye-lid job". Since he does not answer calls during the day, the staff told me to email him with medical questions. He did not respond to my last 3 emails. To me, I took this as if SK made these medical and cosmetic errors but did not want to correct his mistakes.and just ignore them.
This was my experience with Dr. Steve Kim (SK Plastic Surgery). I know there are many that are happy with his work and many that are not. I am beyond upset with the results and will be reminded daily what a horrible experience this whole thing was due to the cosmetic and medical error Dr. Steve Kim made on my eyelids.

Professional. Excellent bedside manner. Perfectionist. After many years of contemplating surgery for my eyelids, I finally worked up the nerve to look into it. Scheduling my consultation with Dr. Kim was easy. My meeting with him put me at ease and he confirmed I was a good candidate for the surgery Dr. Kim was friendly, answered all of my questions, and I left feeling I could trust him to do a great job.
Everything went exactly as he explained to me the day of surgery. Dr. Kim and his nurses were wonderful and made me feel comfortable. My healing process went well and I couldn't be happier with the results. I tell all my friends who are considering plastic surgery to book a consultation with Dr. Kim. Dr. Kim is easily reached either by phoning the office or by email.
His office staff is friendly and professional. When thinking of all the considerations of plastic surgery and what you'd want from a plastic surgeon, Dr. Kim and is office staff fit the bill perfectly. I sincerely trust Dr. Kim and would highly recommend him to my friends and family

Dr. Kim is truly the best. I am someone who is not typically comfortable in a medical setting and have very bad anxiety around getting anything done on my face. Dr. Kim always makes me feel at ease and is very good at keeping you calm and distracted while doing injections. He cares about your comfort and pain tolerance. Ive been going to him for almost 3 years for filler and Botox. I'm a Caucasian and don't want to look overly injected and he does a great job at keeping my face look natural but still youthful. He will never over inject you. Highly highly recommend! I don't trust anyone else.

I love coming here and get my Botox done. The service is great! I also really appreciate the doctor taking his time to make sure the job is done properly. He's a perfectionist, I wouldn't want anyone to touch my face besides him ( who by the way has both an MD and PhD!). Why wouldn't you want to get your Botox done by a board certified plastic surgeon? I highly recommend SK!

I come here every couple of months for my regular Botox injections. It's easy to make an appointment and they're always prompt with time. Since COVID, they've implemented safety protocols and I'm so grateful they're open! The doctor and front desk staff have always been friendly and I recommend this place to all my friends.

Been coming here for botox for my jaw from grinding it at night while sleeping which has helped tremendously. Super nice staff, free parking down the street in the tennis lot. Dr Kim is the best injector and has never left me bruised so I will keep returning to him. He's also a really nice person. Thanks everyone,

Dr. Kim and his team are amazing. Regardless of which procedure you are going in for, you will walk out 100% satisfied. He understands exactly what you want and, more importantly, will make it happen! Even though he is always busy, he will listen to all your concerns and genuinely address them. You can't go anywhere else once you've been in the hands of Dr. Kim!

When I decided to have liposuction on my stomach it was nerve-wracking not knowing where to start. One of my coworkers got a breast augmentation done and I thought why not ask her how she felt. I couldn't believe the job that Dr. Kim did actuallyIdidn'tknow this was possible. She has no obvious scars. Of course at that point I had to get the number.
I called and making an appointment for consultation was extremely easy and convenient. Dr Kim made me feel confident with the information he gave me. I did not hesitate to get the process going. The staff was very courteous and helpful. I had my surgery a month ago and I couldn't be happier. From the person who checked me in for my surgery to the anesthesiologist to Dr Kim on the morning of, I knew I was in good hands.
I'm still seeing the changes and just love my results. I will absolutely refer SK Plastic surgery and as most people know, you get one procedure and you want more. I'm one of those, I have another area I'd like to get done and when I'm ready, Dr Kim here I come.

It's been 6 weeks post op for my upper bleph procedure and I am very satisfied with the result! My friends are so excited to schedule their appointment with Dr. Kim cause his work is exceptional. He is very gentle and easy to talk to, Dr. Kim will not push the patient to do anything beyond what you came for, but he will give you his honest opinion if you ask. Yolanda is also so sweet and puts you at ease cause I have major anxiety lol. Xanax does wonders! This team is amazing

I was actually referral by my hair extension girl from ktown! Dr. Kim is super low key on social media but definitely the TO-GO person for all kinds of cosmetic procedures. All words of mouths so you know it's good! I did a lot of researches and went many consultations before coming in, Dr. Kim's works is my fav. They are SUPER natural yet beautiful, definitely the most natural ones in LA!
People can't even tell you did procedures. Me as an Asian, it totally fits my preference of beauty. Dr. Kim's team makes me very comfortable and welcoming, himself is super sweet! I prepared like 15+ questions and he answered one by one patiently! I have a horrible pain tolerance and I'm glad to say there's no pain AT ALL! Thank you Dr. Kim and Yoli, highly recommend to everyone! Stop hesitating and I promise you won't regret!

I recently got an upper blepharoplasty done by Dr. Kim and I am beyond satisfied with the results so far! I'm close to 1 month post op and I am recovering a lot quicker than I expected. I was in an anxious state prior to my surgery but Dr. Kim's reassurance made me feel calm and comfortable. Dr. Kim is also extremely meticulous with his work and is exquisitely skilled. I highly recommend anyone interested in getting an upper blepharoplasty or other procedures done by Dr. Kim!

We, many of us, have gone to several different plastic surgery Center's for consultation. None of the places had impressed us until we came to SK Plastic Surgery Center. Dr. Steve Kim is not only the most professional doctor in beauty surgeries, he is also an artist who could design your face to make a perfect you. He has great patience to listen, to answer questions and gives you various smart suggestions He is very honest by telling you what you need to do and what you don't need to do, not like other doctors who would just tell you that "you need the full face lift" just to make money.
All of us have done multiple procedures here last year and this year, and are all extremely happy with every result! It worth every dollar you spent here. The office stuffs are all friendly too, especially Yolanda, who is very sweet and knowledgeable. If you wish to become more beautiful and looking in years younger, come to try SK Plastic Surgery Center - Dr. Steve Kim is the perfect one for you! We would give Dr. Steve Km a "10 stars" review if there is one.

I actually had my surgery with SK 5 years ago. I had revision nose surgery and revision eyelid surgery. Had both of these done long ago after graduating from college. Never really liked the results of either, wasn't pretty but wasn't ugly, just so-so. I am very happy with the results of my revision surgeries. Dr Kim is one of the best asian plastic surgeons in Los Angeles.
I was referred to his practice by my daughter. She had a few friends who had surgeries with him (I think breasts and eyes). She said he is the goto guy. After having the surgery, a lot of my friends asked and I referred them all too.

Every time I go to Dr. Kim's office it's always a pleasant visit. He is such a kind doctor and is realistic with expectations. His staff is so lovely, kind, and professional. Customer service is on point. I love going there and they make me feel at home. I highly recommend him and his prices are quite fair. He is quite busy though so you have to make an appointment. He really takes his time and is a true artist!

I can't say enough about how great Dr. Kim is. I am so happy to have chosen him as a dr. He really is the best especially with Breast Augmentation. I couldn't be happier. I have also had a blepharoplasty with him, and honestly, he can do this in his sleep. It turned out so natural and I look so much younger. Thank you Dr Kim, I am so grateful to you. I also want to say thank you to Yolanda (office manager). She was so patient with me and my many questions. You can't help but to love her.

Dr. Kim is by far the BEST COSMETIC DOCTOR EVER! Moving to LA, my friend referred me to him as she goes to him for fillers, Botox, skin care etc. I loved his work! Not only is he very knowledgeable in his expertise but he is also very kind and caring. He is the only doctor that I trust for any cosmetic procedures. Honestly i never thought that I could ever trust anyone with my face but I always feel comfortable with him.
He only gives honest opinions and never pushes you to do anything you don't need. I also love that he makes sure everything he does looks very natural. Everything he has done, gave me no pain / bruises and the down time is very minimal. I am planning to get my breast augmentation with him one of these days. The staff there are very friendly and always makes sure you're taken care of as well. Thank you Dr. Kim for always taking care and all of the amazing results. You are amazing! I have brought my family here and I would recommend anyone to go to him!

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Kim. He's not only patient with good bedside manner, but, most importantly, highly skilled! My case was pretty complicated and he was able to give me the results I desired. I highly recommend him! Due to my positive experience, my mother is going to see him as well. A++++++
