★★★★★ — Eileen, Aug 2025

Dr. Julie N. Kim is super kind, professional, and easy to talk to. She takes the time to listen and explains things clearly. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Maayan, Dec 2025

Dr. Kim is an exceptional plastic surgeon whose combination of surgical precision, warmth, and professionalism made a breast cancer diagnosis, one of the most difficult periods of my life, far more manageable. She is meticulous in her work and communicates with a level of clarity that inspires confidence.

★★★★★ — Kristin, Nov 2025

Dr. Kim was assigned to me as part of the team that would be performing my breast surgery. Learning that I needed plastic surgery was nerve racking. I didn't know anything about her, I didn't fully understand why plastic surgery was necessary, and I didn't have time to do thorough research beforehand.

Researching a tummy tuck?

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is major surgery with real risks and a recovery that usually runs several weeks — this page is a starting point for finding a surgeon, not medical advice. The most useful next step is a consultation, where a surgeon reviews your health history, examines you, talks through your options, and gives a personal quote. Bring questions and don't rush the decision.

Questions worth asking: Are you board-certified in plastic surgery (and can I verify it)? Where would you operate, and is the facility accredited? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients? What are the risks and the realistic recovery timeline for me? What's your revision policy if something needs adjusting? Whatever a listing says, always verify certification directly with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) at abplasticsurgery.org, and discuss your candidacy, risks, and recovery with the surgeon.
