With the utmost attention to your emotional and physiological needs, Dr. Kim will restructure your nose to create results that are transformative and respectful of your nose’s unique personality and charm.

Having trained at elite schools of medicine, Dr. Kim has vast experience and knowledge in several types of rhinoplasty techniques to help you make the best decision for your treatment. 

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) removes excess skin and fat to correct the sagging in the upper eyelids, the puffiness of the lower eyelids, or both. Proper candidates for eyelid surgery are those who have a worn or tired look created by excess bulging in the lower and upper eyelid and patients who may have impaired vision due to the extra skin folds in the upper eyelid. Dr. Kim will attentively examine the eyelids to correct their functional problems, opening up the visual field. Eyelid surgery can also greatly improve a patient’s facial balance for an alert, energetic, and enlivened appearance. 

Brow Lift 

Brow lift surgery (forehead lift) reduces mild to severe wrinkling and sagging of the brow region. Patients who seek this procedure typically wish to revitalize the forehead and brow for a smoother, youthful, more lifted appearance. With small and indiscernible incisions hidden within the hairline, Dr. Kim readjusts the brow tissue, minimizing the appearance of strong furrows, creases, and loose skin above the eye.

Facial Plastic Surgery FAQ

What is ethnic cosmetic surgery, and is it essential for my Asian heritage?

Traditional cosmetic techniques may have less inclusive procedure philosophies that, if applied, may cause a patient of Asian heritage to lose some of the traits they appreciate about their Asian identity. Cosmetic surgery should never be a one-size-fits-all treatment or de-emphasize the physiology that makes that patient uniquely and culturally beautiful. As an Asian-American surgeon, Dr. Kim goes to great lengths to preserve and maintain her patients’ cultural identity and aesthetics.  

 

What non-surgical cosmetic procedures does Dr. Kim offer?

Some patients may find comfort in knowing that surgery is not always necessary to meet your cosmetic needs. With the growing advancements of non-surgical procedures, flattering and effective results are more possible than ever. Downtime and the length of non-surgical approaches are usually shorter than surgical procedures, making them all the more convenient for patients with fast-paced lives. Be sure to talk to Dr. Kim about your candidacy for non-surgical treatments during your consultation, as they may be more compatible with your stage of life or lifestyle. 

 

How much does facial plastic surgery cost in Lafayette, CA?

Because the desires and needs of a patient fluctuate based on each person’s needs, there is no general cost for cosmetic procedures. Patients that want to achieve similar outcomes may experience a difference in cost because of varying factors, such as the extensiveness of the corrections that need to be made or combined treatments. More factors that could play a factor in price are anesthesia fees, facility fees, and the experience of a surgeon. Dr. Haena Kim understands that when making your choice for which surgeon to perform your cosmetic procedure, patients look for transparency and clarity. That is why the cost for your facial plastic surgery will be discussed during your very first consultation. Dr. Kim is also available via online virtual consultation for your convenience.
