Review for Breast Augment, Koreatown location: I've waited a moment to post this review because I…read morewanted to be sure to accurately reflect on my experience here. I'm three weeks post-op from my breast augmentation performed by Dr. Kahng, scheduled and coordinated by the lovely Maritza, and cared for by a darling staff of nurses. I chose him because of his work on body types similar to mine, I am lean and athletic with very minimal breast tissue and have a long narrow torso. One detail that stood out to me was that I saw that he takes great care of nipple placement, which was important to me because I saw many other surgeons' works with disregard for that aesthetic. After seven months of research, I went to two consultations. I picked Dr. Kahng after careful reflection for his candor and demeanor during my consult. Maritza was in the room with me, which made me feel safe and comforted meeting with and undressing in front of the doctor (Yes, I know it's his job, but I'm a 24yo and can feel nervous alone with men... it felt like having a mom in the room with me when I was a child getting a checkup... I liked that feeling). The nurses have been a pleasure. I've come for four early mornings and they've all greeted me heartily with smiles and laughter. I've contended with anxiety all my life but they put me at such ease every time I see them for check ups-- thank you. In previous consults, when I asked about breastfeeding, possible complications, closing the gap in my visible sternum- I was given enthusiastic yeses! Everything is possible! Nothing can go wrong! But Dr. Kahng had a more reliable and sophisticated demeanor. He was down to earth, but never hesitated to tell me an answer I might not want to hear. His honesty was appreciated far more than any people-pleasing enthusiasm. I actually saw a negative review about his attitude but... it made me want to choose him because I knew he would be honest and direct with me. My augmentation went through smoothly, I did ask for the biggest size my body could fit (350cc) and he told me it might not be possible- but that he would try. He succeeded. I would say the pain was difficult at first, the tightness and stretching, the one hour car-ride home (and back for checkups the first week) But I got through it, and I'm beyond ecstatic about my result. The healing has gone very well, and I was warned amply about potential complications and risks, but I've felt well-cared for and monitored closely by the team at Cara. I have no doubt at all in my mind that I picked the right surgeon for my breast augmentation. And I'm filled with gratitude for the support I've received from the staff.

I have undergone revision surgery three times, and it has been five years since I began living with…read morethe results of my fourth surgery. The surgery utilized silicone and rib cartilage, but I believe the biggest problem was that the silicone was placed too high, exceeding the height my nose could handle. After the surgery, unable to bear it any longer, I briefly smoked an e-cigarette a few times on two occasions; the hospital explained that the rib cartilage had collapsed due to the nicotine. About two months after the first surgery, my nose completely collapsed. They performed an urgent revision surgery and rebuilt it. A year later, although it hadn't completely collapsed, my nose had sunk too low, so I underwent a second revision surgery. At the time, the sight of my completely collapsed nose gave me such severe trauma that I became terrified and avoided e-cigarettes and nicotine altogether. Ironically, thanks to this incident, I quit smoking for the rest of my life. In any case, as time passed, the rib cartilage was absorbed much more than expected, causing the tip of my nose to sink significantly once again, even more than the silicone. The hospital suggested that it might be due to the nicotine remaining in my body, but honestly, it was difficult to accept that they continued to attribute the cause to nicotine even after a considerable amount of time had passed. Ultimately, similar results occurred during both the second and third surgeries as the rib cartilage was reabsorbed. When I underwent my fourth revision surgery, they said they would perform the final procedure if I signed a document stating that the hospital would no longer be held responsible for the outcome. Since my nose had already collapsed significantly at the time, I felt I had no other choice, so I signed and proceeded with the surgery. Although the result is better than before, my nose still looks crooked. Even though it has been several years since I stopped smoking, my nose, having undergone four revision surgeries, still looks unsightly; at this point, it is safe to say that it is clearly unrelated to nicotine. During the fourth surgery, I also asked if the silicone could be lowered slightly, as it seemed too high relative to my nose. However, the hospital stated that doing so would require removing the silicone entirely. As someone who had already undergone rhinoplasty, I did not want the silicone completely removed, so I proceeded with the revision surgery as is. However, after researching various sources later, it appeared that the height and angle of the silicone were somewhat too much for my nose from the start. I also learned that there was an option to adjust the shape by refining it without completely removing the silicone. Although it hasn't completely collapsed yet, I ended up with a hooked nose after paying a high price for the surgery. The hospital performed revision surgery three times, but since I couldn't work, I had to fly from Atlanta every time I visited, losing my income for a week. I had to cover all the costs myself--airfare, hotel fees, and food--during my time off. Even though I didn't pay for the revision surgery itself, the need to make four separate visits while losing a week of work was a significant financial burden. Now, I feel that undergoing further revision surgery might actually place an even greater burden on my nasal tissue. It is painful to look in the mirror at the current result, but considering the risks and burdens of additional surgery, I think accepting my current condition and living with it is the most realistic choice. The photo shown is from today, which is at least better than when it collapsed before. Every time I had to wait a year for my nasal tissues to heal before undergoing revision surgery, I had to look at my collapsed nose. The anxiety of waiting and the entire process of wondering if it would work this time, along with the sight of my nose collapsing again after each surgery--all of this was such a huge trauma that I was in agony looking at myself for the entire five years. I know I will continue to be in agony in the future.

Very disappointing experience . I was initially told by the…read moresurgeon (Dr Golpanian ) that I needed a lift and implants and was quoted a price accordingly. Later, I was told the lift was not included and would cost an extra $4,000. I never agreed to remove the lift from the plan , that was something suggested by the salesperson, not confirmed by me. When I pointed this out, they refused to honor the original quote and kept insisting on charging more. Instead of taking responsibility or trying to find a solution, they insisted on charging more. When I pushed back, the only option they offered was a refund of my deposit. I've attached the refund agreement as proof of how this was handled. Very disappointing experience. I expected more professionalism and transparency. UPDATE AFTER SECOND CONSULTATION I wanted to add an update because the pricing situation became even more concerning after my second consultation. Initially, I was quoted $19,500 for my procedure, which included a breast lift based on the doctor's recommendation. Later, my coordinator tried to say the lift was not included and attempted to increase the price. At one point, I was told a new price around $22,000 with the lift, which I still questioned but tried to understand. However, after my most recent consultation, I realized the price had increased again to $24,000 for the exact same procedure. So within a short period of time, the price went from: * $19,500 (original quote including lift) * to $22,000 * to $24,000 ( i did not have it in writing because i simply was done and requested a refund ) This constant change in pricing with no clear justification feels very unprofessional and misleading. It's extremely frustrating as a patient who was mentally prepared and ready for surgery. I was not expecting perfection -- I was expecting transparency and consistency. Instead, the experience felt like pricing was being adjusted along the way without accountability. Unfortunately, this lack of clarity and trust is why I decided not to move forward.

As an adult my monolids slowly began to change and gained folds but then after I had my first…read morechild, one eyelid began to droop and it looked very uneven especially on camera. I didn't like how unsymmetrical they had become and tried different eyelid lifting creams and ointments but they didn't work. Eventually I learned about non-incisional double eyelid suture technique and looked into that more. I had a consultation in office with Dr. Kim and we decided to do both eyes to make sure they'd be more symmetrical. The initial swelling was a bit alarming but in followup appointments Dr. Kim reassured me they would settle and I just needed to wait it out. All I could do was trust in his expertise, and I had chosen him for the results I'd seen in his patients. I waited and they did begin to settle and the folds I thought were too high relaxed as the swelling dissipated. It did take several months for me to see the final results and I'm glad I got it done. If you're considering it, just make sure you have enough time to recover and heal before any important life events. Don't be shocked by post procedure swelling like I was, it is very normal, I just wasn't mentally prepared as I didn't see it mentioned much, hence my mentioning it here. I'm glad I got it done and finally have even eyelids again! Parking: in the SAG building's lot/structure, the office will provide validation Building: it is a large office building so be prepared to see people when you leave post-procedure Companion: you will need to be dropped off and picked up from the office by a friend or family member as you won't be able to drive yourself afterwards The office: is a nice office with small sitting area, consultation room, photo room, his office, procedure room, and probably a medical supply room, along with a bathroom. It was nice and clean.

I had asian double eyelid surgery in my early twenties and then about 7 years ago I had a…read morenon-incision upper blepharoplasty done by a western doctor but nothing has compared to What Dr Kim has done for my eyes! I have never seen these results even when I was in my 20's and I'm 60 now. I asked for a high crease, deep crisp lines with a westernized look and he gave me exactly that at a fraction of the price compared to these "Designer" plastic surgeons out there in Beverly Hills. I had asymmetrical eyes with one eye smaller than the other due to muscle sagging also severe muscle dropping and hooded eyes. Hot mess! I think the game changer is that the surgery is done while you are awake so Dr Kim is constantly communicating with you to open your eyes so he can see and make the necessary adjustments as he's performing the actual surgery which gives him the advantage over all the other surgeons out there and that is what makes him so efficient and precise! I am so grateful for Dr Kim's advanced expertise and skills. His amazing staff that was so kind and caring throughout this entire process. I would highly recommend anyone that is looking to get this procedure done.

When I came across Dr Keagle's ig page, I was drawn to three things:…read more 1. Being able to get care on my side of town 2. Having a female board-certified plastic surgeon 3. Going to a surgeon who has seniority in their field. I went in for my consultation and I stayed because: 1. It was plain to me that Dr. Keagle holds herself to highest standards. I mean she probably figured out quickly that I have known hundreds of surgeons. A good surgeon is IMO equal parts experience and a personality thing. It didn't take me more than 2 conversations to feel very safe, literally in good hands. I feel peace of mind in her care. 2. She is not difficult to talk to. I don't feel intimated to be 'a good patient' or say what I think she wants to hear. I feel comfortable saying the truth, even if it's messy. 3. She does not try to sell ANYTHING. You had best make up your own mind, because she will try to help you but there was literally no attempt to encourage a decision from me. She evaluated me, answered my questions, was kind throughout, and then left me to my process. I was pleasantly surprised that: 1. The office and staff are super nice. 2. The Good Sam surgery center where she operates is just lovely. Again, I have been in about 40(?) ORs; I loved this facility. In summery, I am really glad there is a go-to plastic surgeon 10 minutes from my house.

A different sort of 5 star review. Not so much for the care per se, but rather that I went in as a…read morenew patient to have something checked out. Dr. Keagle had a quick look and, sparing the details, basically said that I needed to see someone else rather than her. She then told her office that it was such a quick visit that there'd be no charge. Really appreciated both the quick diagnosis and the old school willingness to pass on earning money. In short: great integrity. While I can't speak to all of her services, I think that's a welcome sign and will definitely go back if/when need her services.
