Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty (nose job) reshapes your nose to create results that can be transformative or conservative to your nose’s unique personality and charm. Strong candidates for rhinoplasty are those looking for enhanced shape or appearance, correction of a deviated septum, or improvement of a previous procedure. Having been educated at the top schools of medicine, Dr. Kim has vast experience and knowledge in several types of rhinoplasty techniques to help you make the most comfortable 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 a combination of both. A worn or tired look in the eyes created by excess bulging in the lower eyelid can make us look much different than we feel. This procedure also benefits those who may have impaired vision due to the skin laxity 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 remove these pockets of fat and excess tissue to significantly improve a patient’s facial balance for an alert, energetic, and enlivened appearance.

Brow Lift

Brow lift surgery (forehead lift) reduces the severe and mild wrinkling and sagging of the brows. Patients who seek this procedure typically wish to revitalize the upper part of the face and restore the smoother, youthful, more lifted appearance that is similar to what they had before the onset of aging. Through well-hidden incisions in the hairline, Dr. Kim readjusts the brow tissue, minimizing the appearance of strong furrows, creases, and loose skin above the eyes.

Facial Plastic Surgery FAQ

Why is ethnic cosmetic surgery essential for my Asian heritage?

One of the biggest fears of potential plastic surgery patients is that they will no longer look like themselves after treatment. Luckily, cosmetic surgeries have evolved and become more advanced with time. Yet, there are still many ways in which plastic surgery can be more specific and sensitive to patients of ethnic background. Often the ideals of beauty do not always transfer universally across cultures, which can manifest in how we perceive ourselves and others. Dr. Kim uses her years of experience to enhance and maintain a patient's ethnicity, ensuring that the correct surgical techniques are used so that each patient leaves feeling empowered by their unique beauty.

I had a nose job in the past, and I don’t like the results. Can my results be fixed?

Revision rhinoplasty is nuanced for many reasons and is often known in the medical world for its complexity. Aside from the nose being a delicate and complex structure, a patient’s nasal anatomy and how they heal can produce an irregular result or a failure of correction of initial issue on the first treatment. Dr. Kim has studied the nose for years to offer revision rhinoplasty that addresses displeasing rhinoplasty results. Numerous reasons exist for why revision rhinoplasty can be difficult. One such reason is an over aggressive removal of cartilage at a prior surgery. Rebuilding a nose to restore its shape requires utilizing ear or rib cartilage at times. This requires even more expertise, and Dr. Kim will review all options with her patients.

How much does facial plastic surgery cost in Pleasant Hill?

We understand the importance of cost when patients are searching for the right plastic surgeon; however, cost should never be more important than a doctor’s credentials, experience, and field of expertise.

Dr. Haena Kim understands the challenges that come with picking the best surgeon and continuously provides the most transparent conversations possible when discussing prices with her patients.
