I was really terrified all my life of plastic surgery and when I was researching doctors it was even 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 :') read more

My girlfriend had her breast augmentation performed by Dr. Kim and I wanted to reiterate how happy she 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. read more

I had breast augmentation surgery with Dr. Eugene Kim in April 2025, and I couldn't be happier with my results. From my very first consultation through my recovery, Dr. Kim was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. He took the time to answer all of my questions and made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. My surgery went smoothly with zero complications. The results exceeded my expectations. Dr. Kim takes great pride in his work and truly cares about his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone looking for a skilled plastic surgeon who delivers beautiful results while providing excellent care. read more

Eugene Kim, MD - One year post-op - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I had a breast augmentation/replacement/revision procedure with Dr. Eugene Kim last summer. I has implants for ten years prior no issues just wanted them to fit my body more and sit closer together... Several weeks later, while traveling internationally, I began feeling extremely sick and developed worsening symptoms. Antibiotics were recommended/called in, but my condition rapidly escalated. I was ultimately diagnosed overseas with an MSSA staph infection that progressed to sepsis, requiring emergency hospitalization in Nice, France. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital with a documented fever of approximately 105 degrees and severe vomiting, and I ultimately underwent emergency explant surgery. I had drain placed and remained hospitalized in France for almost a while recovering. This was one of the most traumatic and frightening experiences of my life. Being seriously ill in a foreign country where I did not speak the language made the situation even more terrifying and isolating. In addition to the emotional and physical trauma, this situation also created significant financial consequences for me, including the original surgery costs, emergency ambulance transport, hospitalization and medical care in France, canceled travel plans, changed flights, and the loss of the European trip I had planned. recovery after this was extremely difficult, and I continued to seek medical care for ongoing symptoms and concerns after returning home. I understand that complications can happen with any surgery. However, based on my personal experience, I was deeply disappointed by the communication, bedside manner, follow-up, and level of support I felt I received during and after this medical crisis. In my opinion, the response did not feel as urgent or supportive as I would have expected given the severity of what I was experiencing. Separate from the medical emergency itself, I was also ultimately unhappy with my cosmetic results. I underwent a revision procedure and I paid additional costs for internal pocket revision work intended to improve implant positioning and symmetry. Despite this, I personally felt the final result appeared uneven, including noticeable asymmetry between my breasts. When I raised concerns, I personally did not feel that my concerns were meaningfully addressed or that I was offered a satisfactory path forward. Given both the aesthetic outcome and the severe medical complications that followed, this entire experience was incredibly disappointing and traumatic for me overall. This review reflects solely my personal experience and opinion as a patient. read more

Eugene Kim, MD - drain from explant surgery - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Thank you doctor Eugene Kim for everything! Highly recommend him... he is the best. He makes you feel comfortable since day 1, I love my results so happy with the size he recommended, he knows what looks best on your body... such a professional, he is very honest and makes sure you are happy with your results, doesn't pressure you like other doctors... my recovery has been smooth and I can already tell my boobs will look amazing once they drop and fluff. You receive VIP treatment at every visit, no long waits just walk right in, he does not pressure you at all his work shows for itself. His office in Beverly Hills is modern and clean, parking is validated the first 2 hours so you don't have to worry. Love the area, it's a nice drive when I go love the vibes. Glad I picked him over Dr. Taneja where all the influencers go... he has so many bad reviews. Dr. Kim has great bedside manner like others have said, he truly cares about his patients. It's important to do your research... you will see that the 1 star reviews don't mean shit on here. Dr Kim is 10/10. His staff is nice and the nurses are amazing. Thank you Christina the coordinator for the fast response every time I sent an email prior to my surgery. He offers different brands, I picked Motiva because it has less risks compared to other brands (most expensive one but so worth it, you can't be cheap on your body)... You get top notch quality here. read more

The BEST breast surgeon ever! I chose my surgeon very carefully coming from a healthcare background. I traveled from the East Coast to get my old implants (ruptured with capsular contracture) replaced with him. I knew I was in great hands from start to finish. I can't speak enough great things about Dr. Eugene Kim! He is exceptional in every way. As a surgeon Dr. Eugene is incredibly detailed, careful, attentive, and has excellent surgical technique and gave a lot of individual intention and precision to my specific situation to give me the best possible results long term. His OR nurse and team also spoke very highly of him and his skills. His personality and knowledge are also top notch. Dr Kim is very honest, trustworthy, caring and an expert in his field, with zero ego and over reliance of heavy marketing of other plastic surgeons in town (IMO he doesn't need to, because he's the real deal) He is an absolute professional, pleasant, patient, caring, and humble. My results far exceeded my expectations in every way, as I felt I had a complex case. Dr Eugene Kim is a truly kind and excellent doctor and human who cares about his quality of work and his patients' outcomes and delivers incredible results. Im only 2.5 weeks post op and my results speak for themselves! Could not be happier! I would definitely back to him for any future procedures I may choose to do and recommend him to all, and trust the process. Thank you Dr. Eugene Kim! 11/10- The best of the best. read more

Eugene Kim, MD - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Dr. Kim is amazing I can't believe how pain free my recovery was. My results are exactly what I wanted. The process was super stress free.

I cannot recommend Dr. Eugene Kim and his team enough! From start to finish, my entire experience has been amazing. I first spoke to Alexa at the front desk when I was inquiring about a consultation, and she was so incredibly nice and helpful from the very first call. She answered all my questions with patience, explained everything clearly, and always responded quickly. I actually tried to schedule another consultation elsewhere just to compare options, but I never even made it to that appointment -- the person I spoke to was so rude that it completely turned me off. It really goes to show that sometimes it's not just the doctor who makes the difference, but the people you speak to first. Alexa is a big reason I felt so confident choosing Dr. Kim's office. Dr. Kim himself has the best bedside manner. He's thorough, professional, and patient -- even though he's done countless breast augmentation consultations, he never made me feel rushed. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and made sure to walk me through the whole process so I felt completely comfortable. I initially scheduled a virtual consultation, but Dr. Kim actually emailed me all the information I needed and answered my questions so thoroughly that I felt confident moving forward without it. He even replied to my follow-up emails personally, which I really appreciated! On the day of my surgery, my nurse Lucy was an absolute angel. She was so kind and comforting -- she talked with me before surgery to calm my nerves and took such good care of me afterward. She made the experience feel personal and safe, and I'm so thankful for her warmth and support. I'm now one week post-op and already so happy with my results. I can't wait for the final outcome once my boobs drop and fluff, but I already know I'm going to love them. I trusted Dr. Kim completely, and I'm so glad I did -- his work truly speaks for itself. There are many surgeons in LA, but if you're looking for a natural, beautiful result and a team that genuinely cares about their patients, Dr. Kim and his staff are the best of the best. read more

My sister developed a very high fever, severe pain, and rapidly worsening symptoms shortly after surgery and was hospitalized in the emergency room. During a late-night phone call, I informed them about the antibiotic she had been given and asked whether treatment covering staph infection should be considered. My understanding from that conversation was that he believed a staph infection was unlikely and that the treatment she had initially received was sufficient. As her condition continued to worsen, our family became increasingly alarmed and sought input from an infectious disease physician. Based on the symptoms we described, we were advised to push for broader treatment coverage due to the potential seriousness of these infections. We advocated for additional treatment while she was hospitalized. My husband was present for these conversations on speakerphone. My sister ultimately required hospitalization, aggressive treatment, and implant removal surgery for a staph infection with (sepsis). Watching someone you love go through that was devastating and traumatic for our family. In my opinion, the communication, guidance, and overall handling of the situation did not give our family confidence during a very serious medical emergency. I would strongly encourage patients to ask detailed questions, seek second opinions when appropriate, and ensure they feel fully comfortable with their care plan and postoperative monitoring. read more

Dr. Kim did a great job and I am happy with the results. Everyone in the office is friendly and I enjoyed seeing Angie and Alexa during my follow up appointments. Dr. Kim made sure everything was perfect for a year post operation. I always get compliments about how natural they look. I highly recommend Dr. Kim to my friends. read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Kim. I had breast augmentation done with him last year. I enjoyed my experience with him. He is professional and experienced and will get you the results you want. He and his assistants reply to questions promptly too. I did a virtual consultation with him where I asked questions and he answered and gave me his professional opinion. Then I booked an appointment. During pre opt, he'll ask you what you want and answer any questions you may have. He'll tell you about the procedure, recovery, everything you need to know basically. Everything was on paper in a folder as well. The next day was my surgery. Everything went smoothly. I didn't even realize when the anesthesia happened but all I remember was entering the room and sitting on the chair. Then I woke up and it was done. It wasn't scary or painful at all. Recovery wasn't bad. Meds were provided but I didn't need to take all of them. I was able to work within a week. It's been a year and my boobs look so good. They now look more natural and feels like my own boobs. I'm now so much more confident about body all thanks to the amazing Dr. Kim. Again, I would highly recommend Dr. Kim! read more

I am so grateful for Dr. Kim. I am absolutely in love with my breasts!! I had no idea what a big difference having cleavage and boobs would make in my confidence and level of happiness. So a few things that I want to say.... Pick the surgeon YOU trust! I had a handful of consultations, some of the surgeons were more expensive and some much less expensive then Dr Kim. I asked Dr Kim why he decided to become a plastic surgeon and he said it was because it brought him joy to make people happy!! He had been another type of surgeon before and he said it was a bit depressing (this is all paraphrased so if I misquote you at all, sorry Dr Kim!). I asked him how many of these surgeries he's done...he said sometimes as many as four a day...so I knew he had the experience! Dr. Kim was also very patient answering all my questions before the in person consult, during the consult, after the consult before surgery, on the day of the surgery and afterward. He was also very informative. I'm on a breast augmentation forum and many girls had no idea what they should be doing before surgery, after surgery, on the day is the surgery?! I knew exactly what medications to be off of before the surgery and for how long, what meds not to take after the surgery because they can cause bleeding, when I could shower again, what the massage looks like and how to do it... Dr Kim even called me the day after my surgery on a Sunday to make sure I was ok. I also saw he had one negative review on here...and he addressed it! I think that says a lot about his integrity and who he is. Thank you Dr Kim!! I can't recommend him or say enough nice things about him! I love my boobs and it's only 7 days after the surgery. They will continue to drop and look better over this first year!! read more

Eugene Kim, MD - Heeey girl! - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Currently I am only post-op, I will update further in ~6 months when they fluff/drop. My preop experience went smoothly and although I was nervous, all the staff reassured me about everything! I truly believe how the staff treats you before everything is a reflection on the business and they were amazing at answering all my questions as I've never been under the knife before. I showed all my inspo photos and made sure to let Dr. Kim know I wanted an athletic, full look to my breasts and not extremely big. Many Drs I've seen only give their patients gigantic breasts and I decided to trust Dr. Kim because he also works on petite asian girls like myself. Day of surgery went extremely well. The nurses and anesthesiologist also reflected amazingly on the business. I forgot their names but the man with glasses who handled my IV was quick and efficient, seemed like he didn't like small talk but I liked it because I absolutely hate IVs and he did it in an instant without me passing out. I fell asleep, woke up with boobs. Recovery sucks, but it's not as bad as I thought. First day was honestly the worst because of nausea but they had me sniff alcohol packets so I wouldn't throw up and surprisingly it worked lol. Took off post op bra for a bit to change and the scarring tape/bandage is so small!! Didn't expect it to be so minimal. Thank you everybody!! read more

Dr kim is on major auto pilot mode as a plastic surgeon. I should have seen the red flags when all my pre op appts. Prior to surgery felt rushed. His office looks tacky, cheap, and dated. I had told him I wanted a natural look for my Breast Augmentation and I also specifically said I wanted frontal side boob. He said ok and at the appt right before my surgery I even told him let's go bigger to make sure I get frontal side boob. The day of the surgery I asked him if he was going to put different sized implants since my breasts were clearly uneven in size. He said "maybe". He lipoed my chin and did my breast Aug. in an hour and a half. Right away I noticed my right breast was not carved out in a circle at the bottom and it looked like there was a corner missing from the bottom roundness. I didn't think anything of it since I figured they would drop and look fine. About 2 months post op I definitely felt like my smaller breast was still smaller than the other one since he put the same sized implants in both breasts. I kept massaging them hoping they would settle in. Fast forward to one year later I went in for my one year post op visit and I showed him the A symmetry and how the right breast didn't look rounded out at the bottom. He said "I think they look good". I asked him if there was anything he could do to make the right Breast look round and he said he can go in and remove scar tissue, but there's a 10% chance that it would fix the problem. He clearly did not care at all about how unhappy I was and he just wanted me out so he could go on about his day. I'm a hairstylist and if a client isn't happy with their hair the last thing I'm going to tell them is, "I can try and fix it but there's a 10% chance that it's gonna look better" I have never been to such a careless plastic surgeon and I've had quite a bit of work done at this point. The only other thing he offered was to redo them for 8500$ and go bigger and he said even then he wasn't sure if they would be even. And also I had absolutely no frontal side boob, which I made clear to him that's what I wanted. I ended up going to another surgeon and he fat grafted them to make them look more even, but I'm still not fully happy with them due to the fact that I have no frontal side boob. I wish I never went to dr Kim. I'm blown away as to why he has so many good reviews. He's not skilled and a wam bam thank you mam dr. I will eventually redo my breasts but please shop around if you're considering going to him. He sucks. I am going to post a before and after pic of my breasts. The top pic is what he did and the bottom pic is what the other dr. Did to fix them. read more

Eugene Kim, MD - Top is dr kims horrible work and bottom is dr. Neal handels fat grafting he performed to even then out - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

Hi ladies! I know going under the knife is scary, but please consider my experience with Dr Kim if you are considering breast augmentation and /or lift. I will highlight why Dr Eugene Kim should be your top pick if you are considering plastic surgery. Firstly, I had saggy uneven breasts (one was a B cup the other a small C cup) and I needed a lift + implants. After consulting with Dr E. Kim, he was my first and only choice. After calling other offices before his, I felt a disconnect with the other office staff for different surgeons and plus their arrogance. I know there are many fake reviews of the so-called "world famous" Instagram flaunting surgeons who many of them in fact butcher their clients. Dont let Instagram fool you into the wrong direction with the wrong surgeons. Look for real and authentic reviews + surgeons history and work. Anyways, Ive had two surgeries with Dr Kim this year. First one- April 2021- was a lift and BA with 265 CCs. Dr Kim was honest with me and informed me that he couldnt go bigger due to me not having enough breast tissue. After 6 months of healing, I decided to have another surgery to have more CCs. Dr Kim informed me that I have had stretched out breast tissue that would hold more larger implants. So October 20,2021 was my second surgery with 400 ccs. I am a week post op and LOVE my results!!! After 2 surgeries and many post op appointments with Dr E. Kim, here is what I can conclude. --Dr Kim has AMAZING bedside manners. Very professional and informative, caring and thorough. I work in psychology, and can say that I would have needed to feel safe in someone's care in order to have major surgery like this. Mentally and emotionally, I felt ready and comfortable. --Dr Kim is ALWAYS on time for your appointments. If you are doing a consult or post/pre-op, he will always meet with you exactly on time!! He cares about you and your time and I truly appreciate him being this considerate. Ive had horrendous experiences with wait times in other offices. --HONESTY!! Dr Kim isnt someone who will sell you other procedures like the rest of the morons in Beverly Hills/Orange County. He is honest and considerate of your needs. A real doctor doesnt have to sell you procedures for the sake of money. --Office staff in his office are all very kind and helpful, no arrogance like typical front desk in such offices. his work speaks for itself. Look at his before/afters. He has an amazing team for surgery. Anesthesiologist is professional and cool, nurses are very friendly and helpful. You feel so safe and at peace in the operating room. --Recovery!!! So both of my recoveries were a breeze!! I had ZERO pain or discomfort (only nausea during first day of post op due to anasthesia (which was expected since I am so small, low body weight). I was able to drive and go to work the next day. I currently am a week post op and dont feel heavy or tightness in my chest at all. I know my experience was unique in the case i needed 2 surgeries, but I wouldnt have gone with another doctor who would have stuffed me with larger implants in the 1st surgery and me being in discomfort and pain. I highly recommend and wouldnt take back anything. You guys can contact me if you have more questions or wanna see more photos. :-) read more

Hello, I am 1 and a half week post-op from my liposuction operation! It was a tough recovery, but I am so happy I got my procedure done by Dr. Eugene Kim!! I always had body image issues for years since I grew up with strict Korean beauty standards. Recently, it got worse due to the fact that I gained a lot of weight due to my hypothyroidism, and it was really negatively impacting my life. No matter how much exercise and dieting I did, I wasn't able to lose weight and stayed at a steady weight for the longest time. Due to this issue, I decided to get liposuction after saving up. It was hard working while also studying as a pre-nursing student, but I managed to save up. I was honestly a bit lost on choosing my surgeon since I had no idea what to look for, but I decided to get my procedure done by Dr. Kim since I trusted him with my body as a fellow Korean and since he is double board certified. The cost of the procedure that was quoted was super reasonable in my opinion for his amazing work on my body. It was worth every cent. There were no discounts available at the time due to how busy it was at the clinic when I got my procedure, but I do not regret paying full for the procedure at all. His clinic also provided payment plans which also helps alot ! My impression of Dr. Kim was super good, he was very kind and knowledgeable. Before my pre-op appointment, I was very worried and curious about all the factors regarding my procedure, but despite all the pestering and the emails I sent him nonstop, he gave me in-depth explanations and answers to all my questions. Even after my procedure, he addressed all my concerns very quickly through email, and I really loved the fact he was always there for me. The surgery turned out great for me, I got my arms, armpits, abdomen, flanks, and back liposuctioned. And right now, although I am still in the process of healing, I feel amazing. Seeing my body right now after the surgery is an out of body experience. I love the way he carved my body out into the ideal figure I was looking for and I'm so grateful and thankful to Dr. Kim. He's honestly the best and an amazing surgeon. I cannot thank him enough for his work :') Thank you so much Dr. Kim!! And for whoever is planning on getting liposuction in the near future, I really really REALLY recommend Dr. Kim. All my friends and family members who know about my procedure have said that my results are very natural and phenomenal! Dr. Kim really cares about his patients and is very realistic/transparent about the procedures and puts safety first to achieve very natural results :) read more

Eugene Kim, MD - Before (right) and after (left) liposuction - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I am in love with my breast augmentation results. Dr. Kim is my favorite plastic surgeon. Highly recommended!

I got a tummy-tuck and lipo on my flanks with Dr. Eugene Kim. I have a slender body type and after 3 c-sections, I had a diastasis. I lead a healthy life style, I stay active, work out and eat premium food. I did pilates and yoga to focus on flatting my tummy and to build muscles. I weighed 118 lbs at one time and people still asked if I was pregnant. I became discouraged that all my hard work did not meet my goals. I wouldn't wear bikinis because I have an "outie" belly-button and still have a belly bulge. I gave up. My self-esteem was disintegrating. I searched for a solution, and Dr. Kim was it. In my case, diastasis recti cannot be fixed without surgery. Dr. Kim's work was well executed! He was very clear with what I should expected. I felt I could trust him. He was very understanding and receptive to me. I'm profoundly deaf and rely on lip-reading and he was very good at ensuring I understood him at all times. I really appreciated his patience with me. I like the building and the lobby (there's always candies/munchies bags for you to enjoy!) I like the surgery room and his team. I was relieved that the surgery room is at the same building, it's very convenient. They were very nice to me and ensured that I was comfortable. I was nervous because I cannot hear anything but they were really great at making me feel calm. They actually made me laugh. Post-op- my 3 weeks in recovery was no joke! It was very difficult but expected. I was already prepared for this 3 weeks recovery because Dr. Kim explained thoroughly on what to expect. The pain-killers helped tremendously! He has great bedside manners and his team was very nice and friendly. I was elated that one of the nurses knew enough American Sign Language to communicate with me during my overnight stay. So grateful for this! First year of tummy-tuck- I continue to see him periodically until March of this year which is the one year anniversary with my beautiful tummy. Dr. Kim was always in touch with me and he truly cares. I love my new body! I now wear bikinis and cropped shirts. My scar is still visible but low enough for the underwear to cover it. I'm an aquaholic, i love anything involving water so I'm very happy about where my scar is located. It fades as time goes. I'm much more motivated at self-care, exercising, and exploring new activities. I feel free, beautiful and finally can live fully again. If you're researching for a plastic surgeon then look no further, he's the one! I look forward to returning for his other services! read more

One year post op here! I found Dr. Kim on Yelp. His outstanding reviews had me looking for more of his work which led me to his Instagram. His infection control and surgical technique to reduce the risk of complications is impressive. I knew I wanted to have him as my surgeon immediately after! I followed pre and post-op directions exactly as he directed. From the beginning of this journey(and now), he's been easily accessible- always answers every question and addresses every concern. I was really nervous to go under anesthesia but he and his surgical team made me feel extremely comfortable. Dr.Kim called me the morning after my surgery to check on me which was very appreciated (And mind you, this was Sunday morning as I had my surgery on a Saturday). He was very accommodating with my follow up visits which was great since I live a couple hours away. Overall, I'm incredibly happy with my results and with Dr. Kim! P.s. I don't know why the girls in the front desk get such bad feedback on Yelp. They have always been really sweet to me! read more

Dr Kim gave me an amazing rhino septoplasty. Almost 3 years later and I could not be happier with my results. I can breathe and I have a beautiful nose, I cannot recommend him enough :) read more

I got a breast augmentation by Dr. Kim in August 2020 and I can't write in words of how happy I am with how they turned out. They are amazing and the recovery was so smooth for me. Before-- I did a virtual consultation and during that consultation we got to know each other and he educated me on the process and about things I did not know about before getting a BA. We talked about the size I was going for, incision placement, silicone/saline/gummy... etc. What I LOVE most about Dr. Kim is that he responds to my emails in a timely manner. Even though he does have many patients he still has time to reply to every single email of his and is very thorough with each email and does not leave any unanswered questions. Day of surgery-- I was so nervous and excited. I knew I've always wanted to get a BA since I was a teen. When my sister dropped me off they had me change and fill out some paperwork with the nurse that was going to take care of me when I recovered. Dr. Kim walked in and we went over what we planned to do, I met my anesthesiologist and then shortly after I was in surgery. It felt like I took a nice nap and I woke up a little dazed but felt no pain at all. The nurse was so sweet and comforting. She wheeled me out to my sister's car when it was time for me to leave. The overall time I was there was about 2.5-3hours. Surgery time was about 1hour. Recovery-- *IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW ALL AFTER CARE DIRECTIONS* I had a smooth recovery, the very next day I was able to get up by myself (carefully), open and close doors, and other daily tasks. Everyones body is different and the way the surgeon operates makes a difference too. I feel like I had a smooth recovery and felt no pain because of Dr. Kim, following the correct after care procedures, and I'm not sure if being fit has anything to do with it or why I didn't have any pain. I just felt sore as if I did a really hardcore chest workout. As for medication, I only took the pill I was required to before surgery and the antibiotics after surgery. I was prescribed other medications but I did not feel the need to use them. During recovery it is SUPER IMPORTANT to not sleep on your side or stomach. This will cause you to ruin your beautiful breasts and I'm sure you don't want to pay more or go through surgery again. 5 months later-- My breasts have "dropped and fluffed" they are soft and I feel like they are just apart of me. It does not feel like I have a foreign object in my chest. At first they did feel heavy but you get used to it. I think I started to notice the "drop and fluff" stage around 3 months. I was cleared to fully workout with no restrictions at 3 months, which I was happy about. BEST DECISION EVER..... WITH THE BEST SURGEON EVER!! read more

I did breast augmentation surgery 3 months ago. I really like the size and cup of the breasts that Dr. Kim did. Scars are barely visible. I'm very happy. Thank you Dr. Kim. read more

To say that Dr. Kim is the MOST AMAZING Plastic Surgeon around would be an understatement. His talent is undeniable and his hands are indeed magic. I had my Breast Lift and Augmentation done by Dr. Kim on 12/14/18 - I couldn't be any happier with the results already! For the last 10+ years, I've wanted a Breast Augmentation but never found the right time, doctor, etc. I knew during the consultation that he was the one....within a week I was booked and ready to move forward with my surgery. Before deciding on Dr. Kim, I had about 6 other consultations with very reputable doctors however. either the surgeons didn't seem like the right fit, didn't have the same picture in mind or didn't have the knowledge and confidence that Dr. Kim does. I went as far as putting down a deposit with a surgeon in Newport Beach, lost it and was actually ok with losing the money (this is rare for me to be ok with losing money because I'm very financially responsible) because I knew that I wouldn't be as happy with the results...I'm so glad I went this route! Dr. Kim has a great personality, the office is gorgeous, surgical area is immaculate and the surgery was easy breezy. I am a very cautious person and I ask a million questions - I even had a non emergency question on Christmas Eve so I emailed Dr. Kim assuming he'd get back to me much later - he replied immediately and put my mind at ease. Ladies, please DO NOT short change yourself when it comes to things of this nature. If you want the best you must go to the best and Dr. Kim is the real deal! I'm already planning on doing a few more procedures with Dr. Kim and can't wait until i'm fully healed which will be just in time for the Summer! read more

Upon my first visit with Dr. Kim, he has been informative, attentive and genuine. I immediately knew I wanted him to be the doctor to perform my BA. He offers free consults for potential clients, but does not rush through anything. He answers any and all questions you may have. Fast forward to the day of my surgery, everything went smoothly. Total duration of procedure lasted no more than 1.5-2 hours. My recovery process was never unbearable; just soreness on the chest which is completely normal. Pre and post op instructions were simple, but if you have any questions or concerns you can easily reach the front desk or email Dr. Kim (he is super prompt to respond!!). All in all, it was a great first experience. I am glad I went with my gut and chose Dr. Kim. He truly has an eye for aesthetics! If I were to get anything additional, I would not hesitate going to him again. read more

I am sooo soooo happy with my results. I've always wanted to have a breast augmentation and I've been following Dr. Kim on Instagram for a while. His ig page is super helpful and resourceful. If you look at his highlights there are various resource outlets that teach you about the breast augmentation procedure. The entire experience was a super easy. I had a virtual consultation in which I emailed photos and he was able to provide me with a quote for the BA procedure and inverted nipple correction. His staff was then able to help me set up a pre-op appointment. Since the pandemic happened I ended up waiting a little longer due to business closures but his staff was super kind and helpful by keeping me posted on re-opening procedures and allowing me to move the pre-op appointment & surgery day appointment around multiple times. So before this I was part of the itty bitty tiddy committee and I honestly do not even know what size I was because I never wore a bra. I was also super insecure about my breast because of my inverted nipples. But as of today I am almost 1 month post op and I feel great! I didn't have a specific cup in mind but I had photos of Instagram models and "ideas" of what size I wanted and Dr. Kim did his best to make them look like what I wanted but obvious that I have boobs (and no more inverted nipples!). The first day after surgery Dr. Kim will call to check in on you and give you instructions to heal successfully as well as make your one week post op appointment. It was honestly a breeze and super easy. Although we are in a middle of a pandemic his practice and staff are all following the Covid precautions (checking temperatures, Covid testing, masks & hand sanitizers) so I felt super safe about the whole thing. I have my dream boobies and it was Definitely WORTH my money read more

Dr. Kim individually tailors every breast augmentation procedure to match the unique goals and bodies of his patients!! I had 2 surgeries, one was to change my old implants, the second one was a lifting and slightly bigger implants. We had a slight miscommunication due to his front desk but once Dr. Kim found out , he personally reached out to me and the problem was rapidly resolved. He's caring and puts in the effort so his patients are happy. He's always in touch after surgery, calling his patients in person to check on them letting them know he's here if they need anything. I find that extremely important!!! I highly recommend him both personally and professionally as he genuinely cares about his patients and their results! Happy with my results. read more

Dr. Eugene Kim is rated highly for a reason. It's takes many gifts to be a successful AND talented PS. If you are a BA ( or any plastic surgery) candidate who has done their own THOROUGH research you'll understand why he is highly rated across the board. *** BTW: I'm seeing. Some reviews complaining about a short consultation. However, there's no need for an hour long consultation when there's been proper research done on your own part. You should have a set of questions you want to ask ready and Eugene will answer them. When a surgeon goes on for more than 45 minutes about the procedure.... its almost as if they're trying for 'close the sale'. When a person has a good reputation in their industry, there is no need to over-sale. Their work will speak for itself. My husband is high in demand tattoo artist , so I have just observed his methods (quick, to the point, short in consult but booked always 3 months in advanced... because of his quality) . MY POINT IS HIGH QUALITY BODY SCULPTORS DO NOT NEED TO TALK A LOT- THEIR PORTFOLIO AND WEBSITES COVER A LOT OF BASES PROS: * Clean office * Superior skills ( from doctor and nurse) *excellent healing results ( I had a BA) *to the point -no time wasted *Eugene is so comforting and warm * MINIMUM BRUISING. :) *checks in often * takes his craft seriously - his surgeries are his art * professional , not creepy. His IG is casual to appeal to broad audience / age range . In person he's very humble and polite * fast consultation to surgery rate: it took me less than 30 days to get my surgery From the first email inquiry I sent asking about a consultation. CONS: * lady who took my blood work has pretty off putting energy in my experience . SHES NOT THE NURSE, as the nurse is a literal angel. The woman in the office has a bitter attitude that takes your initials blood test , during pre op. She was very cold! When I went in for my post op check up she walked past my husband and I with the darkest energy. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt after our first appointment . Now I'm gonna say it's safe to assume that she's not very happy person. It shows ... * parking isn't validated, but it is BH so I understand its going to be a little different in price compared to other areas read more

I am beyond happy I went to Dr. Kim for my surgery. He's very straight to the point, nice, and attentive. Pre op I was a 32B, I haven't been able try on different bras because of this pandemic, but I'm assuming I'm a 32 D or DD. I went under the muscle with my incision under my breast. I got high profile 415cc silicone implants. This is going to be a long review about my whole 90 day journey. The first week was hard but everyday got better and better, trust me it's so worth it. I am extremely pleased with my results and I allowed Dr. Kim to pick the size that would best suit my body type and lifestyle (I am a very active person). Day of surgery (day one) - Waking up from surgery feeling a lot of pressure. First words waking up "wow they weren't kidding about the amount of pressure you feel". - Feeling very "drunk" nauseous, dizzy, on the verge of vomiting. Feeling lasted 3 hours post op. - Ate soups, apple sauce, yogurt, and bread - No pain, just a lot of pressure and soreness - In and out of sleep all day - Needed help taking pants off to use the toilet Days 2-5 post op - More movement, can pants off to use toilet - Felt very out of it from medication, in and out of sleep everyday - Ate my first meals (small healthy meals) - Had yogurt with every antibiotic - No bowel movement until day 5 - Washed lower body on day 4 - Last norco was early morning day 5 - Minimal arm movement - No pain, a lot of soreness - Day 4 less chest pressure - Whole body felt tender (side effects from anesthesia) - Very bloated for a whole week (looked 6 months pregnant) Day 6-10 - Day 6, no more pain killers (only antibiotic), pains here and there, a lot of soreness, less pressure. - Clear mind and less naps after stopping norco - Lower back/butt pain from sleeping sitting up - Pain that felt like a bruised rib on lower left boob - More movement with arms, can't lift above shoulders - Drove on day 7 - Normal bowel movements - 1 week Post op. Tape removal was a little painful but satisfying. Stitches were easy to remove without pain (strange sensation). Regarding pain under left boob doctor said it was an inflamed blood vessel. Should heal within a week. - Still a lot of swelling on the top - Started massage, breast feel very tender and sore when preforming. 30-40 mins a day - Feeling better everyday - First night given the okay to sleep flat on back (slept with two pillows below my head, two pillows beside each hip. Slept good). Day 11-14 - No pain - Mild tenderness under left boob - Can lift arms above head on day 14 - Dry skin on breasts - Itchy - Nipples extremely sensitive since day 1 Day 60 - No pain - Nipples no longer sensitive - Area below nipples still slightly numb Day 90 - Normal sensation on left nipple, right nipple slightly numb, both breast slightly numb around incision. - Massaging everyday 30-45 mins. - No pain or discomfort. read more

I would give him 0 stars if I could. Was very apprehensive about getting my breast done with him and he saw that too I was in a very insecure place in life. right before surgery he asked me questions about whether I want nipple reduction or not, he didn't educate me about it and I had no idea it involved removing the part of the nipple that actually keeps it looking small and youthful. The scars of my two breasts are uneven and pretty unsightly. I highly regret going to him, his google reviews are also disabled, because he doesn't want his google rating to go down. I should've know better than to go to this body shop and should've never allowed this guy to touch my body. read more

My husband found Dr. Eugene Kim back in 2017 for me after researching several doctors for a breast augmentation. We did a consultation and immediately decided that he was the doctor i trusted the most. At that time(2017) I also inquired about getting a BBL and he told me he didn't think it was necessary. He could have easily said to do it and make more money. To know that he actually cared and wasn't money driven gave me all the comfort needed to know that i was in good hands. He performed the surgery and three years later i still love them! Over the next two years I started to gain weight in areas that made me feel less sexy. I had belly fat, a muffin top, looked like their were boobs under my boobs(embarrassing i know), my back had fat in weird areas and I lost my hour glass shape.. Fast forward to February 2019... I went to see Dr. Eugene Kim for a BBL consultation. This time I had enough fat! YAY! Dr. Kim gave me a full walk thru on what to expect from the morning of surgery to the next three months. He was honest and very realistic. I cannot say enough good things about his staff. From the consultations, to lab work, to the morning of my surgery I was in the best hands. The nurses were so kind, nurturing and made me feel at ease and they knew how nervous I was. Dr. Armadillo was my anesthesiologist from my breast and BBL so having him again made me feel more comfortable. Dr. Kim achieved everything I wanted. I have my curves back, a flat stomach, bye bye muffin top and a booty! Dr. Kim genuinely cares about his patients and it shows. Thank you Dr. Kim for building back my self confidence and making me look better in my clothes. I now feel comfortable wearing the sexy clothes that my husband buys for me and not worrying about not looking good. I feel amazing again. The photos are from over the last few years. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Kim. I have now done three revision surgeries with him that happen as a result of age. I have minimal bruising, minimal swelling, zero infection, the results are amazing and exactly what I want and expect. This doctor knows his craft well. Further, his anesthesiologist is on point; I wake up without issue and am able to go back to work the same day. read more

Breast implants. Absolutely love him. Originally I wanted to consult with 3-5 surgeons. He was my second and I knew then I could trust him to do my surgery. I felt comfortable with him, he answered all my questions as he educated me with other information I did not know. Now, after surgery he's still answering all my questions before I even ask. I went from small A cup to C cup. I'm very happy with my new boobies. Dr. Eugene Kim gave me exactly what I wanted, can't wait till they're fully healed. read more

Eugene Kim, MD - Cosmetic Surgeons Near Me - Beverly Hills, California

I thought this would be a great time to post an update. I am almost 7 months post-op and 100% back to my usual routine of working out which includes running, HIIT, and weight lifting. My implants definitely have "dropped & fluffed" and I am still very happy with my results and size. I have not experienced any issues with my implants whatsoever. 6/28 marks my boobie-versary! read more

I went for a consultation with Dr. Kim and it was a disappointing experience all around. Not only was he 25 minutes late, he showed up with no apology and rushed through the appointment. He then proceeded to let me know a breast reduction was basically impossible. Umm I'm pretty sure that's one of the most common cosmetic procedures out there and any plastic surgeon should be able to properly do it. He also immediately assumed I was trying to get my insurance to cover it which was quite condescending. I've gladly taken my business elsewhere and would not recommend this doctor or his office staff to anyone. read more

I'm a little over my one year post op and I'm so happy with my results! I wanted more fullness after I had my baby and was done breastfeeding. I didn't want anything too drastic. I showed him what I wanted and that's how it turned out. Dr. Kim is great. He listened to all my concerns and explained everything thoroughly. I'm glad I found him! read more

I don't have enough nice things to say about Dr. Kim! The moment he walked into my consultation and began discussing my breast augmentation, I knew he was a doctor I was going to go with. I have seen MANY doctors over the last ten years and his professionalism and bed side manner blew me away. I am 2 1/2 weeks postop, received 415cc high profile silicone implants and I feel amazing. Everybody in the office, especially my nurses on the day of surgery, we're perfect! I am absolutely blown away by the results. I wish I could put into words how thankful I am! Thank you so much Dr. Kim! Do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Kim! You won't be disappointed! read more

***OUT OF STATE PATIENT*** Two years ago or so, I followed Dr. Kim on Instagram and told myself that if I ever move back to California I will get my breast augmentation done by him. Turns out, I never did move back after school. I looked into other doctors, but my mind kept wandering back to Dr. Kim's work and how I've always wanted him to be my doctor. I ended up emailing him and got a very quick response. Since I am out of town, we did a consultation via email. Unlike the one other email consultation I did with another doctor, Dr. Kim told me exactly how many ccs I would need in order to get to what cup size I wanted. I booked the surgery a couple months out (since I had to plan for traveling) and was able to email Dr. Kim whenever I had a question during that time period. He answered all my questions honestly, and once again, very quickly. The day before surgery I got to meet Dr. Kim for the first time! I was nervous, but knew he was the right one the minute he walked in the door! Even my friend that came with me loved him and knew he was a great fit for me. The day of surgery, I was not nervous what so ever. When I woke up, I didn't feel any pain, just a little discomfort. The recovery was super easy for me! 10/10 would do surgery day all over again, it was the best day of my life! Dr. Kim and his nurses made me feel so comfortable. They were so nice, and had such great bedside manner. I am now 3 weeks post-op, and happier than ever with my results! I can't wait to see how they heal in the next couple of months. read more
