This adorable local teen came to us wanting to reshape her nose!
She hoped to reduce her bump, create a softer profile with a little curve and tip upturn, and improve symmetry and refinement from the front view. Summer is a popular time for teens and young adults to have surgery—it’s a natural break between big life transitions like graduating or starting a new job, and the perfect time to recover.
Here she is just 5 weeks after her rhinoplasty—refined, straight, and so cute! We’re both thrilled with her beautiful early result.

This beautiful patient in her mid-30’s was seeking a more sculpted neckline and less under neck volume. She felt like she was starting to look a little bit more “bottom-heavy” like her mother.
She was not preoccupied or distressed by her appearance but she had noticed the changes show up more and more in photographs.
After our consultation we decided to perform a deep necklift. In her case, this was done with a single incision under her chin. This can be done in selected cases where the patient is on the younger side and does not have notable facial tissue laxity.
Another example of one of our “early intervention” facial rejuvenation procedures.

This lovely patient in her 20’s was seeking to reshape her nose. During her consultation, she expressed a desire to have a straighter, more symmetric nose that was better proportioned to the rest of her facial features. She wanted the bump to come down and the tip to come up and not drops as much when smiling. She also really wanted to have the two sides of her nose match better as her nose took a hard turn to her right on frontal view.
She is pictured here 7 months after her rhinoplasty. It is refined, it is very straight, and it is proportioned. However, she paid me the greatest compliment when she said that she “no longer thinks about their nose.” I think that getting those feelings out of your headspace is an important and maybe under-discussed aspect of getting surgery. In essence, a nose that is less visible to the patient is the best postoperative result of all.

Hopping on the AI critique trend. Entered one of our recent transformations and it turns out that although AI is artificial, it’s also intelligent. It’s almost as though AI is an acronym for something!
One of my favorite transformations — elegant, refined, and completely natural.⁠ She and her husband are also the loveliest people you’ll ever meet. This deep plane facelift and neck lift restored jawline definition, lifted the midface, and softened deep folds without ever looking pulled or overdone.⁠ It also smoothed out the central neck which is something that the preservation style lift does better than any other deep plane lift.
⁠.
She still looks like herself — just refreshed, rested, and beautifully rejuvenated. And yes, AI helped me with this caption (but not the surgery…yet). 🤖 🔪 💥

This beautiful woman in her mid-30’s saw me in consultation for the laxity and heaviness of her neck. We discussed various procedures related to her desire to have a more refined look by way of reducing the volume under her chin.
In her case, because she is young, we are able to do this through 3 small incisions: around each ear and under the chin. The Extended Deep Necklift is a great, fast recovery procedure for the younger patients who don’t have jowling or excess skin, but are seeking neck refinement mainly through volume reduction.
She is pictured only 4 months after her surgery. Already, you can see the refinement of her neck and jawline and it only gets better from here as the swelling will continue to reduce over the next several months.
Another example of one of our “early intervention” facial rejuvenation procedures.

You all know we do surgery here, but we are also actively looking at merchandising and branding opportunities.
May I present to you the MK-bubu. This is not based on the incredibly popular Labubus whatsoever. Wear it with your Birkin. Bad jokes and knife accessory will be sold separately.
Would you buy one?

This beautiful patient in her early 40’s saw me in consultation to reshape her nose through rhinoplasty.
She disliked her profile specially citing her hump and the droopiness of the tip especially when smiling. She wanted to stay natural and have a mostly straight profile.
We took her to the operating room and in 3 hours made a change that will last a lifetime. She is pictured here 12 months after rhinoplasty and loves her new profile.

Back to the regular programming!
This stunning woman in her mid-40s from Canada found me online and scheduled a virtual consultation last summer. We discussed various procedures related to her desire to have a more refined look by way of reducing her double chin and achieving a tighter and more refined jawline. She is pictured 8 months after her surgery and is healing great!
Her result is a prime example of “early intervention” facial rejuvenation. In cases like hers, she can achieve a beautiful and natural change, but it’s not as dramatic as some of the transformations I post on this page. It is becoming more and more common to seek out surgery at earlier ages so that the changes are smaller and fly under the radar.
If you are interested in a consultation, call us at 503-575-1910 or send in an inquiry through our website drmichaelkim.com. Thanks!
