Let me start by saying at age 53 I'd never had any surgeries, and never expected to be meeting…read moreplastic surgeons, ever. I am into eastern medicine, yoga, supplements and etc. I was upset about the idea of surgery. I interviewed four plastic surgeons over the course of two months, as well as talking to many other patients online and on Facebook about breast surgery. In the end, Dr. La Via stood out because she really listened deeply, answered every question in detail, was honest, kind and direct about what to expect. I felt she was a perfectionist and that she was able to see me as a person and guide me to the best option, not just physically and aesthetically, but emotionally. Not all surgeons can do this. I also knew she was my dermatologist's surgeon, which inspired my trust. Dr. La Via helped me make tough decisions about the way my procedure would go. I'm an overthinker and was worried about pain, risks, and potential longterm side effects. I was torn about some of the details, I'm sure I was a bit annoying with all my questions. There was no pressure and ultimately, I felt so confident in Dr. La Via that I let her decide what would work best for me. 5 years post, I'm 100% happy with the guidance, results, and aftercare I received. Also, bonus: I experienced zero pain in the weeks and months post surgery, just fatigue. I have no visible scars. The office team is calm, kind, professional and prompt to answer questions. You are safe and in very good hands with Dr. La Via.

My stomach was bulging out and I looked like I was 5 months pregnant, I also had what you call a curtain belly, slightly hanging, hated it, had a 24" waist before my pregnancies. After surgery the slight curtain belly was gone, the tummy was more protruding than before, instead of looking like I was 5 months pregnant, after surgery I looked more like I was 7 months pregnant. Dr Charlotta La Via had no explanation, she had no idea why my belly was larger than before. No refund, no redoing, money lost, pain suffered, make sure you get the right doctor for your procedure. I got the right doctor for my breast, the wrong one for my belly.

I was really terrified all my life of plastic surgery and when I was researching doctors it was…read moreeven worse because every time I spoke to an office I always felt like an agenda was being pushed or these crazy unbelievable results were being heavily pushed towards me. Offices were spam calling me back daily or bombarding me with emails like ad agencies lol. Or that typical tiktok "this doctor has THIS special technique" which felt sooo gimmicky and fake. I never felt like I really got to see PS doctors as medical providers and get to speak to them without the shiny Beverly Hills facade. Plastic surgery does have this trendy side.. i get it. But it is still a very big medical procedure and I really felt like I just couldn't trust a lot of these flashy doctors I'd spoken to... I lost around 40 lbs and I always dreamed of fixing my lower pooch area - my case is a little odd because I haven't had kids yet and am relatively lean - I was looking for a really refined result. AND zero BS. just tell me what's possible and what's not. Dr. Kim didn't take a crazy consultation fee. I didn't wait months for a consultation. He didn't try to sell me anything. His office looks and works like an actual (clean and beautiful) medical office. I never waited for my appointments. During my consultation, he gave me plenty of time to ask questions and voice my concerns. I didn't feel like I was being spoken down to or being sold a used car. Finally felt like I'm speaking with a doctor who can actually lay out to me exactly what to expect moving forward, the downsides and upsides of my options, and what was and wasn't possible. Nothing was downplayed or overexaggerated. I had never had surgery before and so I really wasn't ready to have a big procedure like a tummy tuck. I asked if there was a more conservative option for my loose skin/pooch - we settled on a mini tuck with lipo to remove a large portion of my problem area - with the door always open for a full if I ever wanted. Dr. Kim was supportive, nonjudgmental and honest about whatever decision I chose. Results - my mini TT results were BEAUTIFUL. My stubborn lower pooch was totally smoothed out - no lipo ripples or weird creases. I recovered in like 2 weeks. No infections, no broken stitches, no seromas, no hypertrophic scarring, no dead skin, just... nothing. Dr. checked in with me after surgery multiple times to make sure I was doing okay. My garment fit comfortably and I was on just tylenol by the end of day 2. My incision healed into a thin, fine line which was sooo easily covered in a bikini. Way later when I was finally ready for a full tummy tuck surgery to reach the last bits of loose skin, the ease of my decision was in large part influenced by how smooth my past experience was. I trusted I was in good hands, and I was right. AGAIN, the entire procedure despite being a WAY bigger one, was just as smooth as the first time. Drains were easy. Stitches dissolved easily. The new incision is exactly where we planned for it to be - thin, and very very low and replaced my older scar. I entrusted Dr Kim to decide whether muscle repair was needed or not - he said he will if needed, since we're already in there let's make it perfect! I am snatched lol :'D my belly button looks so cute with a little hood, it looks natural and lovely. I'm around 3 weeks out and my incision is already so clean and healing very well. At this point, I can say I have a very good idea of how Dr Kim's office works, the pre op, surgery, the follow up, as well as healing/recovery. All the girls remember me, they make scheduling extremely easy, are fun to talk to, and before and after my operation my nurse really made me feel safe, cared for, and at ease. I was given all instructions and medications promptly and on time, as well as the Dr's personal number for any issues at all. Everyone has their own experiences and surgery is a big decision which can have unpredictable outcomes. But for me, choosing Dr. kim (twice) was the best decision I made for myself. Thank you Dr Kim and team :')

My girlfriend had her breast augmentation performed by Dr. Kim and I wanted to reiterate how happy…read moreshe and I were with the results. I was at every appointment including the one-year follow up visit and was impressed how Dr. Kim extensively went through all of the implant options from size, material, brand, warranty, appearance, incision location, etc and went through all the pre and post operation recommendations for pain relief, recovery, safety, healthy and appearance. I give credit to my girlfriend for strictly following his advice on what to do and not do between her follow up visits. There was barely any scaring and I don't think the results could have been out any better. Dr. Kim made it very comfortable for both my girlfriend and I to ask questions and it was evident from the beginning how professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and competent he is as a doctor and how he runs his practice. We would highly recommend Dr. Kim for great results and a professional and pleasant experience.

This is an update 5 years later after my rhinoplasty with Dr. Diaz where I still love my nose!…read more Due to the asymmetries in my face and thickness of skin, the final healed results were at about 99% of what I expected. I called Dr. Diaz's office to confirm if this was normal and if anything had happened to not achieve the perfect results expected. Dr. Diaz called and explained everything perfectly and removed all of my concerns. Dr. Diaz is truly one of the best plastic surgeons, and a rhinoplasty is like trying to do surgery on a moving target. To solve for the final 1% of my concern, I was invited to speak to him for a revision in the future if needed. This is all to say, he is truly the best and while 99.999% of his results are all home runs, sometimes very complex noses (like mine) have a slightly almost perfect result and that is OKAY! Absolutely nothing to do with his amazing expertise or the amazing team. If you have any concerns, please call the office directly rather than leave a negative review out of emotion, trust me it's a win-win and also a practice of self love!

However, not once did he offer to fix my breast that his surgery caused to bottom out, and which he had twice promised to fix. His interest is his money, nothing else. Therefore I have refused to remove my review. To readers who have not seen my previous review - He abandoned me when a probe developed with my breast surgery. He gave no explanations and was exceptionally rude and dismissive. His asking me to remove my review without offering to address the problem shows how his only interest was for how others see him. This is not a well-balanced man who is concerned for others. He cannot handle a problem with composure or grace. He will turn on the patient if there is a problem, rather than help the patient. At a time when you have trusted him with your body, this treatment is devastating. Your pain makes no difference to him. He is only nice to you when all goes well. Had I not been so disheartened and depressed at the time by my experience with him, I would have brought a malpractice claim. If anyone is considering such a course of action, contact me. We women are far too often intimidated and don't understand our rights.
