Breast augmentation

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kim and his entire team. I recently had a breast augmentation done by Dr. Kim, and from my very first consultation through surgery and recovery, I felt completely comfortable and cared for.

Dr. Kim has such a great personal touch. He is incredibly knowledgeable and highly skilled, but he also takes the time to really listen. He answered every question I had, explained everything thoroughly, and always put my mind at ease. I never felt rushed or like I was just another patient. I truly felt like he cared about what I wanted and about making sure I was comfortable with every decision.

His office staff is absolutely wonderful as well. They are friendly, personable, efficient, and so easy to communicate with. They made sure I had all the information I needed and were always helpful whenever I had a question.

The surgery center in Stamford was also an amazing experience. Every person I encountered was friendly, professional, informative, and genuinely caring. The entire process was so well organized, and I always knew what to expect.

Having a breast augmentation is a very personal decision, and I am so happy that I chose Dr. Kim. I am incredibly pleased with my experience and my results, and I would absolutely choose him again. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kim to anyone considering breast augmentation or any type of augmentation. You will be in very capable hands with a team that truly makes you feel cared for from beginning to end.

Tummy tuck & liposuction

I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Kim and his team. I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair and liposuction, and going into surgery I was really nervous. It felt like such a big surgery, and I had a lot of worries and concerns. From my very first appointment, Dr. Kim and his staff did an amazing job making me feel comfortable, answering all of my questions, and easing my nerves.

I am extremely happy with my results. Dr. Kim is incredibly skilled and meticulous, and I could see that in the attention to detail he put into my surgery. I’m especially happy with how natural my results look. He really listened to what I wanted and took the time to make sure everything was done with care.

I felt supported throughout my recovery and knew I could reach out with questions or concerns. That reassurance meant so much to me, especially during those first few weeks.

I truly couldn’t be happier with my results or with my experience with Dr. Kim and his team. I would do it again in a heartbeat and would highly recommend him to anyone considering surgery. I’m so grateful I chose him!

Tummy tuck & breast lift

I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair and a breast lift with fat transfer in December, and now that I’m fully healed and done with all my follow‑ups, I can honestly say I’m so happy I chose this surgeon. My results are exactly what I hoped for, my scar lines are clean, everything looks natural, and I feel like the work was done with real skill and attention to detail.

What really stood out to me was the aftercare. I never felt like I was left on my own. Any time I had a question (and in those early weeks, I had a lot), I could text the office and someone always got back to me quickly. If something felt off or I just needed reassurance, they made space for me to come in. I never felt brushed off or like I was bothering anyone.

Billing was clear from the beginning, no surprises, and the whole process felt organized and transparent. Overall, I’m extremely happy with my experience and my outcome, and I would absolutely recommend this practice to anyone considering these procedures.

I interviewed 4 other plastic surgeons in the area along with Dr Kim and he was BY FAR the most detail oriented, invested, personable doctor I met with. He did all the right things in the consult, was not pushy, listened to what I had to say and answered all my questions thoughtfully. The surgical center staff on the day of the surgery all told me that Dr Kim is the best and I was in great hands. His office staff are also super nice and accommodating, I feel like I could actually be friends with them! They ask about my kids and how everyone is doing. Really lovely. My results, arguably the most important part of all of this, are also top notch. I am super super happy with the outcome and how easy Dr Kim made the entire process. Cannot recommend enough!!

I would genuinely like to thank Dr.Kim and his staff for making my first surgical procedure a positive one.

Dr. Kim made himself available for me and all my questions time and time again pre- and post surgery. He presented options and suggestions that were personalized to fit me. He made me feel at ease with his years of knowledge, experience, and amazing bedside manner. His attention to detail and use of advanced photography enabled me to see the before and after.

I’m so grateful to have found such a personable dedicated professional.

I will continue and look forward to using Dr. Kim for future procedures.

Fat transfer

My first consultation with Dr. Kim was thorough. I was well informed, and the decision to have surgery was easy. From that point forward, my experience has been positive all around. The fat transfer procedure went seamlessly, and the healing easy. He provides many follow-ups, to be sure that all goes according to our expectations. I look refreshed, and feel more confident. I’d highly recommend Dr. Kim.

Botox & lip filler

I’m completely new to Botox and lip filler, so I wasn’t sure what to expect going in—but my experience was honestly great. Nicole took the time to explain everything thoroughly and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. She was incredibly patient and really worked with me throughout the process.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect the lip filler to feel as intense as it did (I have a pretty low pain tolerance), but Nicole was very attentive—she checked in often and gave me breaks whenever I needed them, which made a huge difference.

The clinic itself is beautiful, clean, and professional, and overall I felt like it was absolutely worth the money. I’m now on day 4, and I’m practically fully healed—no soreness or pain at all. I had one tiny bruise that disappeared by day 3.

Now that the swelling has gone down and I can see the results, I’m really happy with how everything looks. I’ll definitely be going back to finish the rest of my lip filler. Highly recommend!

Lip filler & Botox

I started seeing Nicole in December 2025 to do fillers on my lips for technically the first time. With her meticulous eye for perfection, she has given me the confidence I’ve been needing my entire adult life(I’ll be 40 this year). I have always had very small lips which has always made me self conscious and has not given me the confidence I needed to get to where I am today in my professional and personal life. After multiple visits to see Nicole, I have also decided to try Botox for the first time, which completely manifested my confidence that I never knew I needed. With the natural and extenuating look the fillers and Botox has given me, I am grateful to have found Nicole to have made that possible.
