Plastic Surgery for Bedford Village, NY

A plastic surgeon in your own town

The Town of Bedford is made up of three hamlets — Bedford Village, Bedford Hills and Katonah — and Bellava MedAesthetics & Plastic Surgery Center is in one of them, at 182 Route 117 Bypass Road in Bedford Hills. From Bedford Village it is about ten minutes without traffic: north on Route 22, then Bedford Center Road and Harris Road. There is no need to look as far as Manhattan, or even White Plains, for a board-certified plastic surgeon.

The town dates from 1680, and the Court House in Bedford Village, built in 1787, is Westchester County’s oldest government building. Bellava is a good deal younger, serving Westchester County since 2010, with Dr. Kim operating at the other end of the same town.

The surgeon

Chang Soo Kim, MD is a graduate of the Yale School of Medicine who completed his residency in plastic surgery at Yale–New Haven Hospital. He is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, belongs to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and has performed more than 500 tummy tucks. Reviews from his patients keep returning to the same points: a calm manner, honest advice and results that still look like the person.

How Bellava differs from an office procedure room

• An accredited operating suite on site. Operations take place in Bellava’s own suite, accredited by The Joint Commission, in the building where you had your consultation.
• Home the same day. Procedures such as a tummy tuck are outpatient, so you recover in your own house rather than on a hospital ward.
• Aftercare in-house. Post-operative visits and garment fittings are with Dr. Kim’s own team.
• One figure. Bellava’s surgical fees include the surgeon, the anesthesia and the facility together, so the quote is the whole cost of the operation.

What patients from the village come in for

Surgical questions fall roughly into three groups. For the body: tummy tuck, liposuction and the mommy makeover. For the breasts: augmentation, lift and reduction. For the face: facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty.

Not ready for surgery? The same building offers Botox and dermal fillers from Bellava’s injector team, led by Donna D’Alessio, MD, along with laser and skin treatments.
