CK Plastic Surgery — Local services in Los Angeles

I have been seeing Dr. K Charles Kim since 2005. He has performed breast augmentation (2005), tummy tuck (2005), lipo (2006), breast reduction and lift (2015 and injectables (Kybella and Botox). For my Mom, he has performed a tummy tuck (2005) and face lift (2017). I can't even begin to express my complete satisfaction with the entire staff. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Pearson was so attentive and in touch to what the patient needs before, during and after surgery to ensure the safest procedure and quickest recovery. She spent about 30 minutes with me, following my Mom's surgery, covering my Mom's condition and blood work. The things she identified explained so much of what my Mom has been dealing with for over a decade and none of my Mom's medical doctor's had called attention to the low red blood count condition (the issues caused by low chronic red blood count explains so much). Dr. Pearson was sure to give me solid guidance on how to make sure the medical problem was investigated following my mom's surgery as well as provide such amazing tips on how to care for my Mom following the surgery. The way Dr. K Charles Kim and Dr. Pearson work together is just incredible. My Mom was given blockers and following her surgery she experienced very little pain, so much so, pain medication was not needed during recovery. Dr. K Charles Kim... what can I say, other than he is a perfectionist!!! He will not sell you on procedures that are not going to produce the result you wish to see. He takes tremendous pride in his work and will make sure you are completely satisfied with the results. The scars are as perfect as they can be. I suffer from keloids and Dr. K Charles Kim has been able to produce flawless scars regardless of my condition. I trust Dr. K Charles Kim with my most valued blessings (My Mom - who is 74) and with my body. Someday, I will trust Dr. K Charles Kim to do my face as well. That is a really big deal, to trust someone with your face! I won't think twice about the surgery or the results so long as I know Dr. K Charles Kim is my Doctor. One last thing... Following my Mom's surgery, I took my Mom to an after care facility. The RN that cared for my Mom, told me she LOVES caring for Dr. K Charles Kim patients because the are always "so stable". No pain, no nausea, good vitals and considering they just had surgery...they look amazing. She also said she has seen some of Dr. K Charles Kim final results and they are just gorgeous!!! Juliette (administration) was available to us before and after the surgery - she was so helpful and responded to text messages as required to make sure I had the guidance I needed to support my Mom - also the customer service staff at the LA office couldn't have been any more pleasant and accommodating. If you are looking for a cosmetic surgeon.... Please seriously consider this amazing team of doctor's and staff!!!! You will not be disappointed.

On a separate note, but just as important, I used South Coast Specialty Surgery Center to book the after care services. South Coast booked me with a 3rd party RN whose name was Sandy from Elite Recovery Care. Sandy had us go to her business home (Tustin CA) that services after surgery patients. The location was so peaceful and welcoming. It was the perfect blend of being home while knowing you were in the safe care of an RN who had all the critical care resources needed to monitor/care for a patient following surgery. Sandy was so attentive to every need of my Mom and I. Her calling was to be a nurse and she is an amazing one at that! I know it sounds weird but it felt like she was a family member caring for my Mom. Hands down....I would highly recommend Sandy for your after care. She was...

I am beyond thrilled with the results of my facelift surgery, and I can't thank Dr. CK, Sophia, the nurses, and the entire office team enough for their outstanding care and expertise! From the very first consultation, Dr. CK and Sophia took the time to understand my goals and concerns, offering a detailed, honest explanation of the procedure and what I could realistically expect. I felt completely confident in their skill and experience, which made moving forward with the surgery feel like the right choice.

The surgery itself went smoothly, and the recovery was easier than I had anticipated, thanks to the fantastic support of the nurses. They were always available to answer my questions, offer advice, and provide reassurance during the healing process. Every step of the way, I felt supported and well cared for by the entire team, which made a huge difference in my overall experience.

As for the results—WOW! My face look refreshed, youthful, and natural. The rejuvenation is subtle yet remarkable. I look like a more vibrant version of myself, with no “pulled” or artificial look—just a smooth, more contoured appearance. People have been commenting on how great I look, but no one can quite figure out what’s different; they just say I look refreshed and glowing!

The office team was exceptional from start to finish—always professional, kind, and accommodating, making every visit a pleasant experience. I feel incredibly grateful to Dr. CK, Sophia, and the entire team for their incredible care and expertise. I couldn't be happier with the results, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering a facelift surgery. Thank you for helping me look and...

I made an appointment and visited CK Plastic Surgery center because of my struggle with acne. It was getting worse with stress from school and I was desperate to find a solution for it. When I walked in, I immediately liked the clean environment and the friendly staff at the front desk. I didn't have to wait too long before I was escorted inside. The treatment I received was the Agnes Acne Treatment. I was explained to that a microneedle was used to laser each zit in order to destroy the sebaceous glands (the root of the problem) that produced them. That way, no new zit could ever form in that same gland again. After acne extraction, Dr. Kim proceeded with the laser treatment. He was very nice and meticulous, and the whole time, he made sure I was not uncomfortable. The treatment did not hurt too much because of the numbing cream and the stinging was bearable. After the treatment, I received a cooling face pack which felt sooo nice. The next day I went back for another acne extraction. The staff also kindly told me about how I should care for my face the next several days. The redness and swollenness on my face afterwards was not as bad as I thought it would be and did not last very long. Most importantly, I noticed a huge difference on my face after the treatment. It was more clear, my skin texture looked more even, and I did not get a lot of new acne afterwards. Overall, this was a great experience, and the staff and Dr. Kim definitely earned my...
