"Needed Mohs surgery to remove a skin cancer on my nose. Following the off site procedure, it looked pretty nasty. However, Dr Kim patched me up very nicely. Two weeks later, no one except me really notices. Bit of a scar, which Dr Kim explained will fade over time with the help of an OTC silicone treatment. Following as necessary Staff super friendly & professional. Shannon on the deck most pleasant & helpful. A real delight. While hoping I won’t need to go back (LOL), it’s good to know that Dr Kim and his staff are there if the need ever arises again."
"Great Care from Start to Finish - Dr. Kim is an excellent surgeon that does amazing work.He and his staff have an excellent pre and post surgery regiment that kept me well-informed and comfortable. I also feel that he acts with integrity and has your best interests at heart. I am very happy with my results."
"Dr. Kim is the Best! - I have to start out by saying that Dr. Kim's staff is nothing short of AMAZING! They ABSOLUTELY go above and beyond for their patients; they are so caring. And well as far as Dr. Kim, he is SO kind and TRULY at the top of his field in Facial Plastic Surgery! I've had two surgeries with him. The 1st was a body fat transfer to my cheeks a year ago June, after having weight loss surgery several years ago I felt I needed some volume in my cheeks, I was very happy with the way that turned out. a few months ago, I opted to go further and had him do a Lower Facelift and he also did a Neck lift on me as well and as you can see in the pictures (if you go on his website) all I can say is JUST WOW!!! As far pain afterward, none, numbness takes a while to subside, and the results are just progressive... I am SO very happy with the results thus far and as the days go on, things become that much more defined. Please make sure that you follow step by step what Dr. Kim and his nurses tell you after surgery and I know that you also will be ecstatic with your results too! EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE all the way around!"

The office staff are warm, professional and take their time answering questions and putting you at ease. I would recommend this practice without reservation!"

"One of the best doctor's office visits I have ever had. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful,and Dr.Kim was everything I had hoped for."
"Dr. Kim and the office staff at Natural Face Clinics are the best. Everyone is friendly and professional. They really take the time to listen. I highly recommend."
"Dr. Kim & staff have been nothing but professional and polite since I was referred to them by my primary care. I had a septorhinoplasty performed 3 weeks ago on my badly crooked deviated septum to improve breathing, as well as to cosmetically improve the appearance of my nose. While I’m still in recovery and swollen, I am very pleased with the results thus far, and only expect the outcome to improve over the next year. It has been a great decision to choose Dr. Kim for me, and I know I will continue to get great results while under him and his staff's care."
"I was bit by a dog years ago and Dr Kim has helped me tremendously! The staff is very efficient and kind. The office is easily accessible with free parking. Many services are performed here and with kindness."
"My experience at Natural Face Clinics couldn't have been better from start to finish. Dr. Kim is extremely knowledgeable, professional and kind. I felt comfortable with him immediately and confident in his skills. The staff I encountered was fabulous, professional and kind. The atmosphere and office was beautiful! I really can't speak more highly of it all. My experience from start to finish was perfect!"
"The staff is absolutely professional and pleasant to work with for setting an appointment, greeting me as a patient, and taking care of me throughout the appointment. Dr. Kim is very soothing, explains things thoroughly, and has a terrific bedside manner. He instill confidence in me and makes me feel comfortable about having an uncomfortable procedure! I have confidence in this medical practice and feel safe in their care."
"Had MOHS surgery on the side of my nose and then plastic surgery by Dr. Kim two weeks ago. Healing well, don't think there will be any scar at all. Dr Kim and his staff were wonderful!"
"Dr. Kim and his staff are top notch! They are all so knowledgeable and helpful and the results are so natural and beautiful. I wouldn't trust my skin care to anyone else!"
"Dr. Kim is the only plastic surgeon that I’m completely comfortable with and trust. He performed a facelift that was so natural that people couldn’t believe I had the surgery."
"Dr Kim is the best dr I’ve ever had! And I’ve had many!!! He caring and friendly and extremely gifted with skill and knowledge with his specialty!!! I would recommend to him to anyone!!"
"The entire staff was so very pleasant, especially the front receptionist! I was a little late to my first appointment because I got lost but I was not reprimanded for it. Instead, I was told not to stress myself and not to rush! They accommodated me well and even though I was late, I did not have to wait forever to see the doctor. Dr. Kim was so nice, he listened to everything I had to say, he understood my concerns and wanted the best for me. Even though I was late, he still took his time examining me. He was very thorough, kind and a great listener! The entire experience was just great! To top it all off, the office was very clean and elegant. The waiting room is beautiful and cozy! For anyone who gets anxiety at doctor appointments, the waiting room is sure to calm your nerves! 10 out of 10 by far! This was one of the very few Doctor appointments that was just truly amazing all the way around!"
"My experiences with Dr. Kim and staff have been nothing but positive. He explains what he is going to do, and what you, as the patient, need to do for the best possible outcome. His staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I won't hesitate to recommend this practice , if I'm asked."
"I hope my healed face looks good - Dr. Kim looked so young to be a surgeon that I was apprehensive at first. I had surgeries before and one surgeon had interns working with him, but not Dr. Kim. The other surgeon I used ended up causing damage to various areas of my legs and abdominals due to the intern being untrained and not knowing what the hell she was doing. I still have the scars on my legs and abs. Dr. Kim did the surgery himself and that is what I liked about him (as I paid for an experienced surgeon not an intern). He is double board certified. Apparently he went to very good schools and has had a great education. Dr. Kim is very soft spoken, and very handsome. He did a great job although I’m only two days out from a facelift, upper eye lid reduction, lips filled, under eye laser treatment. I’ve had at least five surgeons work on me and out of all the surgeons Dr. Kim is one of my favorites as he is very professional and I had a great experience! Thank you Dr. Kim! I hope my healed face looks good once it heals fully from bruising and swelling. I’m confident it will. I fully recommend Dr. Kim!"
"CNY facial surgery group located in Brittonfield Syracuse, New York is highly recommended. Dr Kim and his staff are exceptionally courteous and go out of their way to make sure that the patient is comfortable at all times. I had a clear understanding of the procedure how it was going to happen and what I needed to do for recovery. Hopefully I don’t need to go back, but if I do, Dr Kim is who I’m gonna see."
"Dr. Kim and his staff are wonderful. Clean professional office and staff are personable and caring. Have been 3 times and never more than a 5 minute wait, which is exceptional."
"Everyone is kind, caring, helpful and professional! Here are my takeaways: Do your research and come prepared with all your questions, for your initial consultation as well as any follow up appointments. Follow up appointments can be quick so having a list of questions beforehand will be beneficial. I wish there was a support group as I feel it would have been nice to be able to talk to someone who had gone through the same procedures as I did. An FAQ section of typically asked questions on the website may be helpful, but I know this may be hard as each person is different. It’s a journey, emotionally as well as financially, so communicate your expectations, fears, etc. Be prepared to practice patience along your healing journey and don't hesitate to contact the office if you need anything or have questions. Everyone is very helpful! I’m so glad I did it and wish I did it sooner. I feel more confident thanks to Dr. Kim and crew! Overall, I had a very positive experience and am happy with my results. For my sister to compliment me on how awesome I look says volumes. I look forward to having other procedures done in the future!"
"Extremely friendly and knowledgeable! Very clean and professional as well! The whole staff was very accommodating to my needs! Wouldn’t go anywhere else!"
"Staff were very welcoming and great. The surgeon was amazing and was very pleasant and did a great job.everything went great im happy with the results. Thanks to all the staff"
"I have always had a tendency to get a eye drop with botox injections. But, with Dr Kim, he is so careful and knowledgeable it comes out perfectly every time.!! He and his staff are all so nice.!!"
"Always a very relaxing environment from the moment you walk into the office. The staff are friendly and always ask if Im comfortable. I never feel rushed. Dr Kim has always been very caring and thorough. During procedures he explains everything and makes sure that your not in any pain. Excellent bedside manners and very professional. I have seen other Drs prior and there is no comparison. My previous Drs removed skin lesions and did Mohs procedures with no concern of what it looks like after. Dr Kim is sincere and takes his time."
"The staff exhibited exceptional kindness, and the doctor demonstrated thoroughness and expertise. The procedure was highly successful and has significantly improved my condition."
"zDr. Kim is great. The others in the office are so friendly and pleasant. I would definitely recommend Dr. Kim and his people to all of my family and friends"
"Dr Kim and his staff were amazing a welcoming. Provided great service and would recommend them to anyone and everyone that asks!! Extremely happy with the results and the experience."
"Highly recommend Dr. Kim for any of his services. A very knowledgable and experienced practitioner that Ive come to trust. Reasonable rates and friendly, accomodating support staff. We are lucky to have him in the communitty!"
"Was there recently to get my lip piercing taken out which had gotten infected into my lip. All the nurses there are so friendly and helpful. Dr. Kim is very professional but was very comforting during the procedure. Almost no pain and the procedure took less than 10 minutes. Would definitely recommend Dr. Kim and CNY Facial Group."
"My husband and I have had an exceptional experience for the last 4 years with Dr. Kim. He cares for his patients and always puts them first. His skill level is excellent. Would recommend him very highly."
"After a severe dog bite to the face my life completely changed. Initially working with a surgeon out of Las Vegas I was disheartened by lack of communication and poor treatment. Luckily I found natural face clinics and Dr. Kim. Dr. Kim and his staff have made me feel safe, have educated me on exactly what is going on with procedures, and have communicated with me in a way I have never seen in the medical world. His staff is prompt, friendly, personable, and see you as the human you are. Dr. Kim has provided me facial results I could have never imagined and has treated me with respect and compassion. I would recommend Natural Face Clinics to anyone!"
"I've been seeing Dr. Kim for years. I used to travel from Ohio and Michigan to get Botox and my lips done. What makes an office amazing is not only the Doctor but the staff. They are ALWAYS friendly and polite. They are always professional and some how the doctor remembers small details about my life which I find even more amazing. I wish all doctor offices could be like this. Great job team."
"Dr Kim and his staff are organized, compassionate, knowledgeable, and made what could have been a stressful situation a pleasant one. Everyone from the front desk personnel, the nurses, and Dr Kim himself, were so welcoming and reassuring. Thank you all for a great experience."
"I have been to other places and this is by far the finest. I was on the fence about continuing Botox as I didn’t like the results. One last chance my friend recommended Dr Kim. What a great first,second, and as always a great experience. The staff is amazing and the Dr. is well diverse in meeting all your needs. I pay just as much if I went to a “Spa” for my treatments. So if you’re looking for a high end, great results for the price you pay at pop up places. Then book your next treatment here. You won’t regret it!"
"Dr. Sang Kim has consistently provided exceptional care. His adeptness in addressing damage from another highly regarded cosmetic center is commendable. As my third consultation, I am confident that he will be my trusted physician for all future facial concerns. Third time’s a charm, and it’s worth noting that Dr. Kim’s expertise extends beyond just female patients. Aging gracefully can be challenging, especially when choosing the right healthcare provider. Thankfully, I no longer harbor any concerns—I’m in good hands with Dr. Sang Kim."
"Subtle, yet such a huge improvement! - Dr. Kim is so talented-AMAZING results-subtle, yet such a huge improvement! I have so much more confidence in how I look-I haven't worn a v-neck in years...I can wear a turtleneck without jowls being emphasized because my jowls are gone....my skin is smooth, the Co2 treatment made my skin glow and he took out two almond size fat pockets under each eye. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. KIM! You'll be happy you did it."
"Absolute best surgeon & facility! Rhinoplasty 1 month ago - I recently underwent a transformative experience under the care of Dr. Kim and his remarkable team. Dr. Kim’s expertise in plastic surgery is truly exceptional, evident in the natural and stunning results I achieved. From the initial consultation, where he patiently addressed my concerns and outlined realistic expectations, to the post-operative care, every aspect of the process was handled with the utmost professionalism.The entire team, from the welcoming front desk staff to the skilled nurses, demonstrated a genuine commitment to patient satisfaction. The clinic's modern facilities and attention to privacy added to the overall positive experience. Dr. Kim's artistry in enhancing natural beauty is matched by his dedication to ensuring patient comfort and understanding throughout the entire journey.Choosing Dr. Kim was an investment not only in my appearance but also in my confidence and well-being. I highly recommend Dr. Kim and his team for anyone considering plastic surgery – their expertise, personalized care, and results speak volumes about their commitment to excellence.I had several consults with a variety of surgeons but felt that my needs and expectations were not understood. My cousin then recommended Dr. Kim to me and after the consult I knew I found my doctor. Despite his facility being a five hour trip one way, I knew he was the one I could trust to perform my surgery. Attached are my before and after photos, in case my words weren’t convincing enough!"
"Amazing results - so grateful I had such a skilled surgeon - Amazing results … I’m so happy I made the decision to go ahead with the surgery. It was more of a healing process than I originally thought and I’m so grateful I had such a skilled surgeon. Don’t just trust anyone!"
"Unlike many doctor's offices, I never have to wait more than five or 10 minutes at most. The staff is wonderful. They are attentive and friendly. Dr. Sang is a magician! His "bedside manner" is professional yet gentle, always carefully explaining the procedure he is performing. I've been a patient for several years now and have never been disappointed."
"I went to CNY Facial Surgery Group for reconstructive surgery as part of my post-Mohs surgery process. From the first phone call to my final follow-up visit & everything in between, the entire staff was wonderful. The receptionist, nurses & Dr. Kim were all amazing. Everyone was professional, kind, & informative; they made what was an unexpected & scary process so much better. My experience there was top-notch every step of the way. Thank you, Dr. Kim and staff!"
"Dr. Kim has been great and helped me to breathe so much better after fixing my deviated septum and removing some pollups. I would recommend him and his practice to anyone who has ENT needs."
"Over the past six years, I have gone to Dr. Sang Kim for several major surgical procedures as well as filler and minor treatments. The results have been wonderful and made such a difference for me! Dr. Kim is creative and skilled in his approach, while being genuinely warm, caring and supportive on a personal level. His staff are likewise, competent and kind. You can tell, the people who work there love coming to work every day. I highly recommend Dr. Sang Kim and his Natural Face Clinic to anyone considering a cosmetic procedure."
"Surgery is never easy and I am not the best patient in the world. Dr. Kim did a great job and I feel that my quality of life is going to be so much better. Thank you Dr. Kim, and all your staff."
"Dr Kim and staff are friendly and responsive. I was seen for sinus/ allergy issues. After suffering for a long time they listened, got me in to be seen quickly, all concerns were addressed quickly and I felt very comfortable and i like was heard. I am also very happy with my treatment plan."
"CNY Natural Face Clinic is extremely professional and caring - I have been very happy with my results and I have recommended Dr Kim to my friends and family - Dr Kim is a gifted surgeon and his staff is friendly and accommodating"
"Dr. Kim & his professional staff were AWESOME! I would highly recommend him to anyone ! They were very personable, comforting, and the end results were amazing! His team is #1 with me! ❤️"
"Dr Kim and his team provided excellent service. I received an ear lobe repair, and Dr Kim and his staff explained every step of the procedure pre and post procedure. I received both verbal and written instructions. I am happy with the outcome of my ear lobe repair and plan to go back for other services . Dr Kim displayed kindness, skill and empathy. I highly recommend CNY Facial Surgery Group."
"Dr. Kim and staff are always kind and attentive. 10/10 experience"

"Dr Kim will take the time to suggest and explain alternatives and options. He makes you feel listened to and wants to do his best to make sure that you're comfortable and feel you're heard. He truly makes his patients his priority. "
"I recently had a septo/rhinoplasty with Dr Kim and the results are better than I could’ve imagined. Staff is very kind and helpful and answered any questions I had during the entire process."
"Not only is he meticulous, but a very kind man. I consulted with several drs but confidently chose Dr Kim. The on site surgery facility made things less expensive, staff was great. He was excellent about explaining the procedure and even had some suggestions. Highly recommend."
"Entire staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I honestly don't think I have ever had a better experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim and his staff."
"Top Notch - he is extremely meticulous and is very kind - This man is a gem I did research and received multiple consultations but confidently chose Dr Kim. I could tell from the moment I met him that he is extremely meticulous and is very kind. Additionally, I was impressed by the office and his staff so much that my daughter became a patient as well."
"Dr Kim and his staff are fantastic people friendly I am 100% please with Dr Kim's doing surgical work on my nose you can never ask for a better doctor I would highly recommend going to see Dr Kim if you need any work done"
"I have nothing but positive comments of Dr Sang Kim and his amazing staff! From the minute you arrive they are courteous professionals with only your best interest in mind. I would recommend his practice to anyone who is seeking outstanding results."
"Excellent Experience - breathing is excellent, no complications during recovery, and my nose is much smaller - I had a septorhinoplasty in early February along with a turbinate reduction. I had a really great experience with Dr. Kim and his staff, and I just hit 3 months post-op and I am SO happy I did the procedure with Dr. Kim. I still have a ways to go before I know what my 'final' results look like - but I am already really pleased with my new nose. I probably prepared a minimum of a dozen questions for each pre-op appointment, and Dr. Kim took the time to discuss all of my concerns. My breathing is excellent, no complications during recovery, and my nose is much smaller and more aesthetically pleasing for my face. (note: since insurance coverage varies, my total cost for this review will only include the cosmetic portion not covered by insurance)"
"From start to end the experience I had with Dr Kim and his staff was welcoming, professional, and excellence through and through. The outcome of the procedures were fabulous. The technical abilities of Dr Kim is amazing as well as his assistances alike. I could not be more pleased. So grateful for gifted hands and a wonderful team."
"Hi, I could not ask for a better plastic cosmetic surgeon as Dr. Kim and his staff. They are always so friendly, accommodating, and really care about their patients. Dr. Kim is a very good listener, takes his time explaining procedures in question and is extremely well educated in his field."
"Dr Kim & Team were very professional. Their care post surgery (septoplasty) was great. I always felt “in the loop” as to communication, both pre & post surgery. I would highly recommend."
"Dr. Kim is amazing. I work with clients daily and my face has to be on it's A game. I've had a rhinoplasty, Botox, fillers, and scar treatment done here. It's been flawless work. He's a Harvard trained surgeon and an expert in his craft, but he is quiet humble and down to earth and you won't hear him rattle off his credentials until you ask. When you go to him for cosmetics, please trust his vision. He's as much as a surgeon as he is an artist."
"80% pleased, but I'll probably look into another doctor for a revision - I wanna start by saying I'd give my experience closer to a 3.5/5This will be a really long review, I wanted to wait at least two years before I wrote it, its been about 2 1/2 years since my first surgery which was a cosmetic rhinoplasty. Honestly I have kind of mixed feelings, I'm mostly happy, but I'd say I'm like 80% pleased with the result :') I had a very large dorsal hump I wanted removed, but otherwise I really liked my nose from the front! I made that very clear and repeatedly I was told it would be exactly the same, and I was really happy to hear how confident he was in this. Looking back I should've waited and looked at more doctors, but he was in my area and his confidence really sold me, on top of this he even told me if there were any complication that he would fix it free of charge. He told me my nose seemed pretty symmetrical and that there shouldn't be any issue and that it was a pretty straightforward procedure. After the first surgery I noticed some obvious asymmetry, but I was always reassured this would go away, but along with this asymmetry I now had breathing problems on the side that now seemed "curved" I couldn't breathe from one side at all and felt a bump on the inner wall of my septum on that side and I would feel a clicking on the other side of my nose where my alar was now raised higher than the other side.. But again I was assured this would all go away. After two full years the clicking did go away (tho the one side was still raised, albeit a little less) but more importantly my breathing didn't improve. I never questioned it to him directly, but at almost every appointment I was given one of two reasons which would differentiate for why this happened, one being swelling and two that my septum was bending back? I was under the impression it was straight in the first place. Eventually a septoplasty was planned in September of 2022 and he explained to my mother and I that the reason he didn't correct my deviated septum in my first surgery was because it would've been too much trauma on my nose, but he had never said this until that moment. Its been about 4 months since then, perhaps it will continue to de-swell and yes I can breathe better but its still not quite 100%.The last things I'd like to comment on are the doctor and the nurses themselves, Dr. Kim himself is very polite! But he does give off the feeling of being very rushed, appointments are always really short so you need to have questions ready otherwise he'll be out the door immediately. I was shocked he wasn't at either appointment where I had my splints removed, it's something in almost every video I watched concerning a rhinoplasty where the doctor was there? But perhaps not. This might just be me being a little sensitive, but I think he lacks some tact, when bringing up issues about symmetry a lot of my responses from him would be "im not sure what youre seeing, honestly I think it looks great" when at the same time people around me in my day to day life would point it out as well. Of course from the side I think it looks great, but from the front I cant say I'm exactly happy. He did tell me filler would probably solve this issue, but earlier as I said he mentioned he'd cover the costs for any complications, this was not the case, my mother had also asked me why I'd be paying as she remembered his earlier statement, but maybe we misunderstood?? I think I'll probably look into another doctor for filler and a revision in the future when I've saved up again I suppose. The nurses at his office are an absolute joy and extremely kind I only have good things to say about them.I know this is a rather critical review, but I don't regret doing it nor do I hate Dr. Kim either I actually feel bad being critical at all, I am definitely more confident than I was before, but if you're looking to have your side profile improved definitely look into doctors galleries where you're 100% impressed with how the patients look from all angles."
"I had an amazing experience with Dr. Kim. Every appointment he made me feel heard and comfortable. I went in for my deviated septum and also wanted a rhinoplasty with a very natural change and he was able to accomplish that and more. My recovery was so easy and he has been great at every post op appointment as well. I can’t recommend him enough!"
"From the first consultation to the last follow up visit, this was an overwhelmingly positive, supportive, professional and caring experience! I cannot say enough about the expertise and kindness of Dr. Kim and his staff - exemplary in every way. I was provided answers to my many questions and had absolutely no reservations when it was time for the procedure. And I am beyond thrilled with the results, quite beyond my expectations!"
"He gave me a very natural change - my recovery was so easy - I had an amazing experience with Dr. Kim. Every appointment he made me feel heard and comfortable. I wanted a rhinoplasty with a very natural change and he was able to accomplish that and more. My recovery was so easy and he has been great at every post op appointment as well. I can’t recommend him enough!"
"Dr. Kim did my septoplasty and rhinoplasty and I could not be more pleased with the results! It was a much easier recovery than I anticipated and he gave me such confidence in myself. I would highly recommend. The staff in the office were always welcoming and helpful."
"I broke my nose 11 years ago and haven’t been able to breathe well since, as well as being so self conscious from the age of 13-24. I didn’t know what to expect but I’m 2 months post op with Dr. Kim and I couldn’t be more thrilled!!!! My nose looks beautiful with little to no scar. & I CAN SMELL MY COFFEE! (Tastes better too!!)"
"This place is amazing from the staff to Dr. Kim. I’m so thankful for the whole process was made very easy during a tragic accident. I couldn’t be happier with the service I received."
"My only regret was that I didn't do it sooner - I had a natural facelift and blepharoplasty about 3 months ago. My only regret was that I didn't do it sooner. I just wanted to look as young as I feel. Mission accomplished! The whole experience was totally positive. Dr. Kim is a wonderful surgeon and a very lovely person. I felt total confidence in his care. His staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful."
"I can’t say enough good things WOW! Dr. Kim is AMAZING! He is very thorough with everything and doesn’t recommend any unnecessary services! As a matter of fact he told me I didn’t need some of the procedures I was asking about. I look 10-years younger and I feel brand new. When it comes to my face I won’t trust it to anyone else."
"Lower Facelift - Neck and lower lid blepharoplasty - I used to joke and say I was starting a facelift fund when I was younger. Then I looked in the mirror at 55-years-old and wished I had created that fund. I started the procedure with a consultation and Dr. Kim was amazing and I decided to go ahead with the procedures and I have no regrets! I plan to do more work soon. I had a lower face and neck lift with some lip enhancement and lower lid blepharoplasty."
"Dr. Kim is truly the best. I am 22 and I have started preventative botox to smooth light “11” lines between my brows. These small measures have made me feel more confident in my own skin. Thank you Dr. Kim! :)"
"I cannot believe how my breathing has improved since my rhinoplasty. I knew Dr. Kim would do a great job with my appearance but could never have imagined how my breathing would improve. For the first time I can remember, I’m able to take full, deep breaths through both nostrils. My sense of smell is much improved and I am having the most restful sleep I have ever had. Walking my dogs, the smell of the fall air is vivid and crisp. It’s been a month since my surgery and I am still amazed."
"After turning 50, I felt like the relaxed expressions on my face made me look mad or sad. I didn't feel like that on the inside. I wanted my face to match the happiness I actually felt. Dr. Kim gave me a mini-lift, cheek implants and upper blepharoplasty. I'm very pleased with the results. My mid-face and lower face have been smoothed and lifted, yet very natural. I have had many friends ask what skincare I'm using, because they say that my skin glows. I'm also so pleased to be able to brush on eyeshadow without my loose skin causing it to skip on my lids. Dr. Kim's staff was attentive, professional and thorough. Highly recommend."
"I had rhinoplasty done in March of 2020 right before the state shutdown. Dr. Kim gave me exactly what I was looking for. I did not want a “Hollywood” nose, I wanted it to still look natural to my face. Thank you for taking care of something I was so insecure about!"
"Dr Kim was extremely professional and explained thoroughly about my procedure. However, he seemed to be in a rush and although he did ask if I had further questions I was not feeling that he was that interested. His assistant provided me with a financial breakdown of the procedure but the doctor neglected to include everything I had spoken to him about. She was quite pleasant. When I had a question about what the doctor had explained she was unable to get an answer for me at the moment as he was off seeing another client. She assured me that she would email me with answers to my question. That was well over a week ago. I will not be using Dr Kim's services as I feel disregarded and unheard."
"The staff are kind and friendly and the office clean and inviting - I had an amazing experience! Dr Kim is a true professional who is a talented plastic surgeon. The staff are kind and friendly and the office clean and inviting. I would recommend Dr Kim for major surgery as well as minor cosmetic procedure s."
"Best decision I ever made - blew my expectations out of the water - If I could give 100 stars I would. Dr. Kim and staff blew my expectations out of the water. Everyone is so friendly, and professional. I met with many surgeons when I decided I wanted my nose done in Syracuse and Rochester, and finally settled on Dr. Kim. I instantly felt at ease during my initial consult and just felt this was the place I wanted to go. Best decision I ever made! I LOVE my new nose!!"
"Amazing doctor - could not be happier with the results - Dr.Kim is very professional and did exactly what I asked for. The Staff was great from the front desk to the nurses. I had a Facelift and could not be happier with the results . I would recommend him. You will not regret it ."

"I am extremely happy that I have found a doctor that is so caring and intelligent as Dr. Kim. He truly cares about his patients and provides you with detailed information when discussing surgery issues and concerns. I have much more confidence in Dr. Kim than other doctors that I have seen. I recently completed Face Lift surgery and look forward to Rhinoplasty for a nose defect. His staff is great and I highly recommend this great surgeon!!!"
"Resting Pleasant Face - After turning 50, I felt like the relaxed expressions on my face made me look mad or sad. I didn't feel like that on the inside.

I'm also so pleased to be able to brush on eyeshadow without my loose skin causing it to skip on my lids. Dr. Kim's staff was attentive, professional and thorough. Highly recommend."
"Dr. Kim is extremely gifted and passionate about his work. - I can’t begin to explain what a wonderful experience I had with Dr. Kim and his team from start to finish. I never would have believed I’d go through with cosmetic surgery, but I had a friend who recently underwent rhinoplasty surgery and she looked incredible so I thought what could a consultation hurt. I was contacted shortly after submitting my inquiry by a very friendly and patient office staff member. Even upon arrival the women in the office were incredibly friendly, organized and professional. I was brought in within minutes of checking in, and this was throughout the multiple appointments I’ve had now over the months. I saw Dr. Kim every single time I had an appointment leading up to the surgery and even post op. He has an amazing bedside manner and just has this way of making you feel relaxed like you can trust him and you’re in good hands. He started out by asking me what I didn’t like about my nose, and then he continued by explaining to me what he saw as well, what those medical terms meant and how they could change or achieve the look I wanted. We reconfirmed every visit leading up to the surgery. Any medication I had to take before and after was clearly outlined to me as well as how the entire procedure and recovery would go. I thought I would be incredibly nervous but I wasn’t nervous at all! I believe it was all due to Dr. Kim and his staff. They’re extremely knowledgeable, professional and truly care for their patients. Even their anesthesiologist met with me before going into surgery, sat down next to me while I was being prepped for surgery. I am so happy with my results and so happy I made the decision to choose Dr. Kim. He is absolutely amazing and if I ever were to get anymore work done I would 100% choose him over and over. He is extremely gifted and passionate about his work."
"10/10 Experience - It was an amazing experience from start to finish. Dr. Kim and his staff are extremely pleasant, accommodating, and patient. The medical aspects of my surgery went perfect as well as the cosmetic side. I’m still in the recovery stages and so happy with the work. I highly recommend Dr. Kim!"
"Highly recommend Dr. Kim. Rhinoplasty changed my life! - I am 2 weeks post-op from my septorhinoplasty with Dr. Kim and have never felt more confident. I went on multiple consultations with other doctors who didn’t quite fit the bill, but after meeting Dr. Kim I quickly realized that he was the doctor I would go through this surgery with. Not only does he have an impressive background, his bedside manner is amazing and his ability to explain medical concepts in plain terms made me feel very comfortable with him. He listened to all of thoughts during my consultation and didn’t rush the appointment. After surgery, there were no surprises with my result. My nose looks and functions exactly the way that Dr. Kim and I discussed prior to surgery. Even though I am only 2 weeks out and am still swollen, I find myself looking in the mirror and admiring how natural my nose looks. I drove 4 hours to go through with this surgery with Dr. Kim and it was the best decision. I would recommend him and his team to my family and friends. Thanks Dr. Kim!"
"Earlobe repair surgery - they look beautiful and I am thrilled with the results - Dr Kim did my earlobe repair surgery to fix my large gauged ears. They look beautiful and I am thrilled with the results. Healing was quick and the price was exceptionally reasonable. Will be coming back for future work, it was an overall great experience"
"Very happy with results! - Dr Kim performed a mini lift and lower blepharoplasty. I am 6 weeks out and not completely healed but am very pleased with the natural result. He is very nice and personable as is his staff. Definitely recommend! "
"I was diagnosed with skin cancer on my nose. Very scary being told you have to cut your forhead off and place it on your nose but if it must be done this is the guy in Syracuse that you want to do it. Stitches were amazingly small and well done, leaving minimal scarring... Takes time to let novacaine start to work before jamming more in. (Anyone having novacaine shots into nose will appreciate this believe me). Would highly recommend to anyone needing a nose flap."
"Amazing!! I will definitely be coming back to Dr Kim for any future facial procedures! - I had an amazing experience with Dr Kim and his staff! The whole experience was so much different than a typical "Drs Office", very inviting. The whole staff there treats everyone so kindly, and the atmosphere there is very welcoming. The procedure itself was not long and the recovery was only a few days. All in all, great experience, I will definitely be coming back to Dr Kim for any future facial procedures!"
"Dr. Kim gave me a "normal" nose back! - I cannot thank Dr. Sang Kim enough! He is an amazing doctor. He expresses such kindness and compassion and truly gave me my confidence back. His entire staff from my first phone call - receptionist to nurses to surgery group, are all amazing!! I would encourage anyone that is searching for an exceptional facial surgeon to consult with Dr. Kim. If you are hesitant about reconstructive surgery or traumatized by a past surgery experience I strongly suggest you give him a chance. You won't be disappointed.Nine years ago I was diagnosed with basal cell skin cancer on the tip of my nose. Following surgery (by a different surgeon) to remove the cancer, I lived with a disfigured nose. I was left feeling very self-conscious and insecure by my looks. In addition, people would make comments and give me strange looks. I spent years searching for a surgeon I could trust but could also offer an approach that would bring the best results. After just a few short months following my surgery, I am excited to say I look completely normal. Dr. Kim gave me a "normal" nose back! I can go out in public and no one would ever know what I've been through. My family and friends are thrilled for me and continually give me compliments. Words cannot express my gratitude! Kudos and a huge thank you to Dr. Kim and all of his wonderful staff."
"I love my nose and my breathing has greatly improved - I had a great experience with Dr. Kim. He did exactly what I asked for. I love my nose and my breathing has greatly improved. Dr. Kim took his time and listened to my thoughts. He also explained the procedure in detail."
"I believe Dr. Kim is a gifted surgeon. For 6 months I researched all of the plastic surgeons in the Syracuse area. I went in to talk to Dr. Kim twice (he did not charge), I spoke to many of his staff and I read all of the reviews about him. I felt convinced he was the best choice. I had upper and lower bleph. surgery and my husband followed suit. 35 years ago I'd had an awful rhinoplasty and asked Dr. Kim to fix it, aesthetically and functionally. Everything he has done has turned out very well. Generally speaking, I don't particularly like or trust physicians. But this one time I will speak up to give him a strong recommendation."
"Would Highly Recommend Dr. Kim to Anyone! - Before going to Dr. Kim I had met with one other doctor in the Syracuse area that I just didn't feel comfortable with. Upon meeting Dr. Kim I felt much more comfortable and knew he was who I wanted to do my surgery. The post-op experience from surgery was far easier than I anticipated, I had little to no pain at all. I really couldn't be happier with the outcome of the surgery. My nose looks more perfect than I expected it to and I'm so so glad I went along with the procedure with Dr. Kim."
"Dr. Kim is an Artist! - My septoplasty/rhinoplasty has changed my life. Not only had my nose been my biggest insecurity all my life, but I also had a pretty bad deviated septum that made it impossible to breathe through the left side of my nose and made me snore. My nose had a large hump that was very visible from the side, and the tip was turned down and too big for my face. I’d wanted to get it fixed for years, and after my consultation with Dr. Kim, I felt like I could instantly trust him with my face. I’m terrified of surgery and all things medical, but Dr. Kim was very reassuring and by the end of my consultation, I wasn’t even worried about the surgery anymore. He was very patient and answered all of my questions without making feel uncomfortable. The surgery went very well, and recovery was painless with no issues/complications. It was also affordable, with insurance paying for most of the septoplasty, I only had to pay for the cosmetic add on, which I could afford at 17 years old. After a week, I got to see my results and I was so impressed! Not only could I finally breathe, but my new nose fit my face perfectly. I have a sort of broad, square face, and a nose that’s too small would look awkward, but Dr. Kim knew exactly how far to go and made it compliment my other features perfectly. It looks very natural and gave me a sense of confidence I’ve never had before. Dr. Kim knows exactly what he’s doing and is a true professional!"
"I went to Dr. Kim for rhinoplasty. The results were exactly what I wanted! He was detailed in explaining the procedure and did a natural look. I love it! The recovery period was short and friends tell me I look so much better! The staff did everything in their power to be helpful and make clients feel comfortable. Overall, an excellent experience."
"Dr. Kim is absolutely brilliant! I had a deviated septum correction and small rhinoplasty done. I am only 7 weeks out and already very happy with my results. I could breathe again on the DAY of my surgery for the first time since I could remember, and my singing voice has improved. I could not be more pleased"

"If bedside manner means anything to you, look no further. Everyone that works there is nice too. Christine at the front desk for example. Dr. Kim is very even tempered."
"Wonderful Experience - Amazing Doctor & Super Staff! - I had been contemplating a face list surgery for the last few years but never felt comfortable enough to go through with it. One visit with Dr. Kim and his amazing staff and I was all in. I didn't realize just how loose my jowls and neck had become. I am thrilled with the results - feel like I look at least 10 years younger! Thanks Dr. Kim and your entire staff :)Updated on 1 Jun 2020:Posting pics.....I am thrilled with the outcome - the results just get better. These photos were taken about a month from surgery date but I was honestly ok to go out about 10 days post and it took the long only because I had laser. The lift was so easy. Dr. Kim in Syracuse was AMAZING!"
"Very impressed, Dr. Kim is a great surgeon! - I had a great experience from the beginning to the last visit . The staff was friendly and very informative . All my concerns and questions were always addressed and answered . I was extremely satisfied with all my procedures . Dr Kim is a great surgeon . Will be going back ."
"My consultation with Dr Kim gave me so much hope! - Dr. Kim was the nicest and most understanding doctor I have ever met. I had always wanted to get my nose fixed but was always too scared and didn’t have the money. My consultation with dr Kim gave me so much hope! The pricing isn’t crazy it’s affordable, and he really listens. The day of my surgery he made me feel very calm. It was the best decision I ever made. I never thought my nose could actually look good, and it’s natural it doesn’t have the plastic surgery look. If your thinking about it, just go for it you won’t regret it! Best decision I ever made"
"Wish I would have gone to Dr. Kim sooner! - Dr. Kim is the only person I would trust with my face. He not only has change my quality of life but also made sure I was informed and educated every step of the way. He is an artist of his specialty and truly knows how to make slight changes, while still maintaining your natural beauty."
"My Only Regret is Waiting So Long - I could say so much but will highlight what really matters. I am very pleased with my results, and would make the same decision all over again. This office was recommended to me by someone who had the same procedure as I. I read countless reviews on different sights and I knew Dr. Sang Kim stood out. He is double board certified and the majority of his surgeries are rhinoplasties. I also noticed when patients of other surgeons weren’t pleased with their first surgery they sought out Dr. Kim for their revisions, and then were very happy they did. I liked Dr. Kim and his professionalism and caring attitude from our first meeting. It is obvious that he takes great pride in his work. I am an “older” patient who wishes she knew a long time ago that this would be so easy and not nearly as painful or expensive as I thought. Also close to home, one hour drive is so worth it to get this level of skill. It has been nine weeks and Dr. Kim is still following me closely with follow up appointments. I am very grateful that I chose him and no one else, he told me exactly what to expect and the before pictures he morphed I would say are almost exactly what I got! A million times thank you!!"
"From the first consultation I felt confidence in Dr. Kim - Dr. Kim was professional, caring, and always accessible. He worked around my schedule while I was in the area. What impressed me the most was his new, ideas of solving problem areas on my face. Dr. Kim explained everything so I could understand the procedure and made me feel comfortable and confident in his abilities. His whole staff is remarkable and were all professional and caring. They are all highly trained and work well together as a team."
"The results were incredible after the procedure - I’m so thankful - I went to Dr. Kim to discuss rhinoplasty as my nose had been broken. He discussed all of my options with me and let me take the time to make a decision. When I came back and wanted to go through with a procedure, he and his staff were so accommodating within a short timeline. Pre and post op, every person on his staff was so kind and calming. I would recommend Dr. Kim to anyone unsure about rhinoplasty. He and his staff were so informative about everything and the results were incredible after the procedure. I’m so thankful that I found Dr. Kim and Natural Face Clinics!"
"I Got Exactly What I Wanted! - Dr. Kim was the best. He explained every step to me and took his time. I was striving for a natural look and that is exactly what I got. I could not be happier with my results. Thank you to Dr. Kim and his team!"
"I recently had bleph surgery by Dr. Kim. I am so pleased with my results. He is so gentle and excellent at what he does. The office is so professional. You walk in and are created with a pleasant smile from Danielle. She makes you immediately feel comfortable. Monica set up the appointment and is so helpful and pleasant. I met with the nurse Elaine who is so thorough and sensitive to great results. This office meets every expectation of efficiency and professionalism. I thank you Dr. Kim. I am so pleased with my results."
"Great Experience - Dr. Kim is an outstanding doctor. He does his work very well. Not only was he welcoming, but so was his staff. I am beyond pleased with the results of my rhinoplasty and recovery was very smooth. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim."
"Would recommend! - Dr Kim was wonderful. I am 3 months post op, and am thrilled with the results of my nose so far. He was extremely articulate and just the right amount of conservative - didn’t do too much or too little. My biggest insecurity throughout my whole life was always the bump on my nose, and Dr Kim was able to straighten it right out all while keeping it looking natural. I’ve read through hundreds of reviews and people have said he’s an artist - and I completely agree. He made this a pleasant experience for me and I will be forever grateful. I highly recommend him, he will take great care of you. Thank you for the significant confidence boost, you have changed my life."
"Great Experience with This Office - I've had a great experience with Dr. Kim and the team of nurses at Natural Face Clinics. Everyone is professional and makes you feel prepared and at ease on your exam day. The person I've interacted with most is Heidi, and she is absolutely fantastic. She is the nurse that prepped me on my surgery day, my post-op appointment, and other appointments since. Dr. Kim is a very skilled surgeon and identified and refined many aspects of my nose that visually bothered me.The outcome of my surgery looks great so far (I'm six months since my surgery date) and my nose looks completely natural. There were no complications from my surgery, very little pain, and so far the result is very similar to the "expectation" photograph provided by Dr. Kim beforehand. I look forward to see how it continues to heal over the next six months.I do recommend coming to appointments with your questions in advance because Dr. Kim is busy and nearly all of my appointments with him have felt rushed. He is happy to answer all of your questions though, so the more prepared you come, the more you will get out of every appointment. I have found the nursing staff is also able to answer most of my questions, and the office encouraged me to reach out at any time if I had questions in between appointments. Dr. Kim even provided his cell phone number for the first few days after my surgery which made me feel in good hands."
"Well Worth It! - Dr. Kim is amazing. I got 4mm lip implants and they turned out amazing! It was well worth it. I was nervous about the healing process because some of the review said they were In excruciating pain and had awful swelling but I didn’t even need the pain meds just a couple Tylenol the first day and ice packs and I was good. The bruising was also very minimal. This procedure was well worth it and the healing process was not very painful. He also performed rhinoplasty and that turned out amazing as well!Updated on 7 May 2019:I was amazed at how the end result turned out! I really had no upper lip and my bottom lip was pretty small. They are the perfect size and I feel they still look natural! And as you can see from the photos the healing process was not that bad!"
"He gave me a very nice nose - I really enjoy Dr.Kim. I had delayed writing a review until I felt confident as it’s been a journey that’s lasted a few years. I went to Dr.Kim a couple of years ago for rhinoplasty he was the first doctor I saw and chose. I liked his educational background, and the fact that he has an In office OR which makes things easier and more comfortable in my opinion . I also was able to get my surgery done with MAC anesthesia and that was important to me. I was very nervous about getting surgery but honestly it was a breeze... it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The surgery was pretty quick and easy and the recovery as well honestly I had no pain either time. It changed my life truthfully something that bothered me every single day I no longer have to worry about.The staff in office is always kind, I have been to several plastic surgery offices and medspas and the staff at only one other even compared. They’re genuinely nice- not fake nice and always pretty on top of things and understanding. Dr. Kim has a genuine bedside manner that I’ve noticed is usually lacking in this field - just being honest. He excels. After my first surgery I wasn’t happy, I did have issues with scar tissue that contributed to my nose looking larger than I wanted again. It wasn’t bad for a natural nose but after having. Paid and gone through surgery I wasn’t happy with this result sort of thing but I appreciated that Dr.Kim didn’t try to deny or push away the fact that the result wasn’t exactly what I wanted (like I had feared and expected because that’s common). Instead he accepted it and offered to fix it. I only had to paid anesthesia which I whole heartedly appreciate because he still sees me for appointments, so the amount of time he has invested in my case way surpasses what was expected a couple of years ago and my initial price had been less/ on par with other places I had Checked into anyways. I love my final result now and am glad I chose Dr.Kim which honestly myself I do a lot of research on real self and reviews (for most things in general) so I felt compelled to write one. If you are nervous about your surgery I think his location is perfect, he has the least stressful manner of doing things, and he gave me a very nice nose."
"I have utmost confidence in this practice - I could not be happier. Dr. Kim has an elevated aesthetic that is reflected in his work. The staff is wonderful and the entire experience was better than I ever could have imagined. I have utmost confidence in this practice and would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kim's services for anyone who is considering a procedure."
"Dr. Kim is a Brilliant, Artistic Surgeon - I first met with Dr. Kim in October 2018 for a rhinoplasty consultation. We discussed what I was looking to have performed, what was surgically feasible, and what a potential outcome might look like. I was also given a chance to view some of his previous work. Dr. Kim was patient in answering my questions and was evidently knowledgable as a surgeon. After careful consideration and research, I underwent a rhinoplasty with Dr. Kim in January 2019. I had chosen him for a couple of reasons. Beyond the aesthetics, I was also looking to fix my deviated septum and breathing issues, so his additional board certification as an ENT certainly played a factor. He listened during the consultation about the aesthetic I was aiming for, and he was straight forward on what was achievable; I was overall impressed with his bedside manner. I am now a month and a half post-op and I am really pleased with the outcome. My healing has gone smoothly. All the issues we discussed were corrected, and the outcome doesn't look overdone or underdone. He is conservative in his work as a surgeon, and one of my concerns was that the outcome would be underdone. I articulated this concern to him and he kept this in mind. As my healing continues, I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the final outcome. Overall, the process from consultation to post-op was a smooth one. The office is welcoming and professional. Everyone from reception, concierge, nursing, and the surgical team were all pleasant and accommodating. I was hesitant to trust anyone with my face, but I'm really glad I did. Thank you, Dr. Kim and staff!"
"Extremely Happy with my Results - My experience with Dr.Kim from the consultation to the final results was amazing. During my first consultation, Dr.Kim took his time to ensure I explained everything that I wanted for my rhinoplasty and he answered all of my questions and concerns. The day after surgery and the following week of my rhinoplasty, I experienced no pain at all around my nose. I also had very light bruising around my eyes. With that being said Dr.Kim is very careful with work. I am currently two months post op and I love my results and I couldn't be happier. My nose looks slimmer, but not overly done and it suites my face perfectly. I would recommend Dr.Kim to anyone looking into getting a rhinoplasty."
"A+ Experience - Doctor Kim is amazing and did a fantastic job. The procedure was quick and the healing process was fast. I am very happy with the results and it will only get better in time. The office staff are always very pleasant also."
"He is without a doubt a perfectionist and along with that a perfect gentleman. I had rhinoplasty done fixing a break I had done 5 months prior. I am so HAPPY with the results even though it's only been a week recovery for me. He went above and beyond on his own to also fix a deviated septum I had to help me be able to breath better. I can honestly say I am 100 percent happy with the results. I would highly recommend him. "
"Exceeded expectations! - Dr Kim is amazing! Very patient and never made me feel rushed or pressured. My results exceeded my expectations and gave me a new found confidence. He took the time to answer all my questions pre- op and was there for any questions or concerns post op. The staff makes you feel like you are part of the team..Double Board Certified and Harvard trained.. you won't regret it!!"
"My experience with Dr. Kim was beyond my expectations - My experience with Dr. Kim and his staff was beyond my expectations. Each person I came in contact with was helpful, encouraging and caring. Dr. Kim’s style is kind and calm combined with a subtle but noticeable confidence that makes you excited to see the final result. I couldn’t be happier with my results and recommend Dr. Kim for facial procedures. Don’t hesitate, get a consultation, you won’t be disappointed."
"I highly recommend this doctor. Several years ago, I had skin cancer on my nose reconstructed. Impressive training background, bedside manner, and talented young surgeon. Since then I have been seeing him for filler treatments and Dysport. Only downside is waiting time on my appointment visit, but overall outstanding experience."

"Dr. Kim is a PERFECTIONIST! Trust me, he likes everything to be perfecto. He went into detail explaining the procedure. Plus, my down time was only 3 days! That is way better than the 3 weeks my local doctors mentioned. Also, the staff here is exceptional. You never wait more than 5 minutes for your appointment and everyone is friendly. On top of that, I find it REAL that staffers who have had procedures done come to work post surgery. It shows that if they trust him, so can we. :)"
"Dr. Kim is a perfectionist! - I was referred to Dr. Kim by someone I know. And, I could not be happier with my results or my treatment in this office. I was a victim of DV and have had a deviated septum for years. No sleep, smell and constantly breathing through my nose. Local doctors wanted to keep me awake and the down time was weeks, rather than days. Dr. Kim went over everything in detail with me and let me ask questions. Additionally, I liked the shape of my nose and did not want it to look different. Just as I requested... my nose is still MY nose! I was a little swollen, but had surgery on Thursday and was back to work on Monday. It is not everyday that you get this kind of surgical perfection and customer service together. Even the staff is exceptional and caring. In a world where customer service is nonexistent, this was refreshing. And, the surgery center where I had my procedure was top notch! I mean, a message prior top surgery!!!! The staff there also exceptional. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kim. New York is lucky to have this Harvard trained brilliant man. May God bless him always and the family that raised the man."
"I am writing this review for my sister who underwent rhinoplasty with Dr Kim. She has always been bothered by her nose and finally decided to get the surgery done. She did extensive research on RealSelf and other websites, and went to see several plastic surgeons. She also knew another person who underwent surgery with Dr Kim, so she decided to have rhinoplasty by him. She is now a totally changed person. We are so happy for her with the experience and the result. Highly recommend!"

"I wanted to wait until I was fully healed to write my review, but now see I truly had nothing to worry about. Nature curse me with a **FUG** nose that I no longer have. My new nose is straight, yet matches my face, (so does not look ridiculous). The healing directions were very detailed, and the follow up appointments thorough. My mind was just blown away by the before and after pics. The staff and Dr. Kim himself were amazing and friendly. Highly recommend this incredible Dr!????"
"Beautiful and Natural Results from my Rhinoplasty - Dr. Kim did a great job on my rhinoplasty! The procedure, which only took 2 hours and had very minimal post-op discomfort, straightened my nose by removing the hump and fixing a droopy tip. The results are very natural and beautiful. The new shape of my nose blends perfectly with my face..I love it! 10/10 would recommend!"
"I had skin cancer on my nose repaired by Dr. Kim. It was a quarter size hole in my face and I was absolutely traumatized. After about 6 months, you can't even see the scar anymore. Outstanding surgeon, and fantastic staff!"
"Professional Doctor. Impressive Results. - 4.5 stars. Dr. Kim is knowledgeable and personable. I am impressed with his ability to improve the features of my nose. My nose looks natural to the point where I don't think anyone even realizes that I've had a rhinoplasty. The nose is still swollen and it seems a bit uneven, but it's way better than it was before. I would have liked to have known a bit more details about how the surgery went. Did it go according to plan? What did he do? Did the scar tissue from the previous surgery impact the outcome? Did he work on one side more than the other? I ask this last question because I notice that the sides aren't entirely symmetrical, but again, it could just be the swelling. What was also great about Dr. Kim is that he is accessible -- appointments are easy to make, follow up care happens within a week - and the nurses helped so much too. All in all, a very positive experience."
"I am so happy with my results and I have Dr. Kim to thank! I knew after our first meeting that Dr. Kim was the right surgeon for me, as he was very knowledgable and professional. After many years of struggling with a deviated septum and being unhappy with my nose shape, my rhinoplasty surgery turned out amazing and I am finally able to breathe!"
"I had an amazing experience and all of my procedures have shown incredible results so far! Dr. Kim and his staff are very friendly and caring and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. "
"Incredible results for my procedures! - I’ve had an amazing experience with Dr. Kim. I chose him for my surgery after reasearching on the procedures I wanted done for years. His results always look natural and beautiful and he is very nice and personable, something that is important to me. I had a rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty and chin implant done in the same surgery, I felt safe and cared for during the entire process. It’s been about a month since my surgery and I’m healing very well (I followed all the post care instructions given to me) and I am extremely happy with my results already. My face looks natural but the difference is definitely clear. My very hooded eyes are no more and I look a lot more lively and awake at all times. My nose still looks like my nose, but smaller and more delicate (exactly what I asked for) and I feel like I can breathe better from one of my nostrils (even though my surgery was for cosmetic purposes). My chin adds balance to my face in a way I didn’t even think it could. It especially makes my profile look incredible! All of the nurses and staff were also very friendly and nice and I am 100% sure I made the right decision choosing Dr. Kim. He is an artist!"
"Dr Kim is a brilliant, top-notch Facial plastic surgeon - I went to Dr. Kim for Facial sculpting where he used filler to enhance my facial contours. Specifically,I have a weak jaw and he was able to use filler to strengthen it so it balanced with my high cheekbones and strong chin. Those contours are the hallmark of western beauty. I first had this treatment done by a top Beverly Hills Facial plastic surgeon and Dr. Kim’s work was much better. I now have facial contours like Angelina Jolie. Dr. Kim also enhanced and balanced my lips with filler and they look fantastic. In addition, he did an upper blephthroplasty which looks amazing. He used filler right below the brow which softened and further rejuvenated my eyes. He did a pinch under my eye to remove the wrinkles. His work was so flawless I couldn’t even see where the stitches were. He easily took well over ten years off my face which is somewhat disappointing to my husband because people now think I’m his trophy wife. Dr. Kim is a brilliant Facial plastic surgeon, by far the best I’ve ever seen. His work is so great no one even knows he’s done anything. I just look not only much younger, but also much prettier. Bravo Dr. Kim."
"I am so happy! - Dr. Kim is an absolutely fantastic doctor! I broke my nose twice in high school, which caused a large dorsal hump and deviated septum. About nine years ago I had a septorhinoplasty with a different surgeon that did not fix the problem. In fact, it exacerbated the situation and the recovery was agonizing. So I was very apprehensive about having a revision rhinoplasty based on the first surgery. However, I could not be happier with the experience I have had with Dr. Kim! From the first consultation to pre-op and beyond he has been realistic with me and made me feel like I am in good hands. He really cares about his patients, their health and safety as well as their happiness in the outcome. My nose is now perfectly straight and the hump is gone. I am so happy and relieved and grateful. Thank you, Dr. Kim and staff!"
"Dr Kim did an amazing job and I could not have asked for more! He and the staff were amazing throughout the whole experience!!! The healing process was a little rough but that was to be expected and was completely worth it! I would recommend dr Kim to anyone that is considering rhinoplasty. "
"I would highly recommend Dr Sang Kim. He is very knowledgeable and wants his patients to look as natural as possible. Never felt rushed by him or his staff. Everyone there is totally professional . I had cheek implants & lower blepharoplasty. There was an improvement. Then Dysport was recommended along with Restylan. Best decision. "
"29 Years Old - I wanted a better profile and straighter nose and dr. Kim did an amazing job! I would not have gone with any other place. The healing process was a little rough with the amount of bleeding that followed for the next day or two but it was all worth it!"
"57 years old and wanted to start my new path in life retired...not looking tired! I did extensive research and sought out 5 surgeon recommendations. I was extremely impressed with Dr. Sang Kim for several reasons: 1 - He specialized in and only performs /neck surgeries, 2 - Dr. Kim is younger and probably more newly established, but there was no doubt that he is a perfectionist and a professional in his field, 3 - He is patient and really listens. I felt confident and trusted that he was giving me his best recommendation for my concerns, 4 - He didn't try to push unnecessary or extra procedures, 5 - I was impressed by how obvious it was that Dr. Kim's administrative and medical staff liked him and respected his work. But most of all, I am extremely satisfied with the results of my face lift!"
"I had a wonderful experience. Top notch from beginning to end. I was happy with my results immediately. Never was I uncomfortable. Also not bad to look at"
"I am very happy with Dr. Kim and all of his staff. Not only did I have a surgical procedure done but I also go there every week for allergy shots and they couldn't be nicer. And Dr. Kim is awesome - - great bedside manner! I highly recommend them!!!"
"I can't say enough good things about Dr. Kim. He is the most patient, professional, and personable physician I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Instead of being rushed through the practice, every member of his staff made me feel welcome and important from the moment I walked through the door. He wouldn't perform a single procedure on me until he fully answered every minute question I had (all of which he eloquently and candidly answered); you can tell that his formal training was exceptional. His bedside manner and skilled technique easily make him one of the best kept secrets in Syracuse. I have referred numerous friends to him who have also, in turn, referred their friends. Make the consult and see for yourself... you won't be disappointed!"
"I was working in Central New York and had an upcoming event and needed to get 2 areas of Dystport done. They were able to accommodate my schedule( as it was short notice) Dr. Kim’s entire staff was so friendly and welcoming!! During the procedure , even Nurse Dan held my hand and kept me smiling the whole time!! I was incredibly impressed with Dr Kim as he made sure he took the time to explain the process as well as not “ being rushed” something I have experienced with previous Doctors. I live in Florida but will be seeing Dr Kim from now on, and will be recommending their office to my fellow New Yorkers! It’s been almost 2 weeks since my appointment and the results are amazing!!! So happy! Thank you so much Dr Kim, Mary and the rest of the staff !"
"My experience with Dr. Kim and his staff during my rhinoplasty experience was phenomenal. When I knew I wanted to take the next steps to actually getting this procedure done I began to research doctors around Syracuse, NY and in the state of New York. What impressed me most about Dr. Kim is that he is a dual board certified facial plastic surgeon. This meant that he had had training in both otolaryngology and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. This was important in my decision of choosing Dr. Kim because this showed me that not only did he know how to aesthetically improve the appearance of my nose, but that he had a deep understanding of the anatomy and structure of the nose. Dr. Kim’s exceptional education and training at UC Berkley and Harvard Medical School were another reason that lead to my decision of having a rhinoplasty performed by him. The office allowed me to have two free consultations with Dr. Kim. The first consultation was so pleasant and the staff including Mary, practice administrator and patient concierge, were so accommodating. After the first consultation, I had further discussion with my parents and wanted another consultation with Dr. Kim so my parents could meet Dr. Kim and ask questions. Dr. Kim went in-depth about the procedure and his philosophy about how he achieves the natural nose appearance for each of his patients. One aspect of the consultation that impressed me the most was how he did not just focus on my nose, but looked at my facial structure and features and discussed how he would make my nose more harmonious with my face. The day of surgery was so comfortable with each member of the staff being so great at answering all my questions. The recovery after surgery was very smooth, with minimal to no pain. The office set me up very well with how to take care of nose after surgery to promote the best healing. I am so happy with my decision of choosing Dr. Kim. Friends, family and co-workers who knew that I was going to have this procedure do not stop complimenting my nose and how natural it appears on my face even though they can tell there is much improved aspects of my nose. Most importantly, I am SO happy with my nose. It has only been about three weeks since my surgery and the results are amazing. I can only imagine how great the next few weeks of continuous heeling are going to be on the appearance of my nose. Syracuse, NY is so lucky to have such an exceptional facial plastic surgeon."
"I have seen several doctors over the years but never felt confidant or comfortable with them during the consultation. The difference with Dr.Kim was amazing. I felt completely at ease with him and his staff. He did exactly what he said was the best procedure for me. It exceeded all my expectations. Very caring doctor and staff. Top notch results."
"Dr. Kim and his staff were incredible. I had a face lift done this past summer and I was treated with dignity and respect by everyone. Dr. Kim is an exceptional surgeon and one of the nicest and kindest doctors I have ever met. I had a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Dr. Kim and his entire staff. I recently went back to Dr. Kim for injections. Again my experience was wonderful. He explains everything he is going to do and what to expect. I didn't bruise and I love the fact that he doesn't overdo. He and his staff are just incredible. If I could give more than 5 stars I would."
"Dr. Kim was very professional and made me feel at ease throughout the process. I’m very satisfied with my results. His staff is friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to refer my friends."
"From pre-op to post-op and follow-up visits. I had a wonderful experience with Dr Kim and his entire staff. The operation I had was to repair a deviated septum. Many simple daily activities were uncomfortable or at least minimized. Now. Food tastes better. Time at the gym is more enjoyable. Air smells better. Life has truly improved significantly. Thank you Dr. Kim and your staff."
"I was suffering from a deviated septum, and Dr. Kim took the time to explain to me exactly what he was going to be during the procedure. Before the procedure, I was given instructions on what I needed to do to ensure that I would heal properly. His staff were very professional and treated me as a person, not just another patient."

"I have wanted to get a rhinoplasty since I was thirteen years old. I was always back and forth about the idea, always being too nervous to actually do it. I went to multiple consults, but other physicians were very rude and not compassionate. When I met Dr. Kim, I knew I finally wanted to get the procedure done. From our first encounter to our last appointment, he was compassionate, respectful, outgoing, and most importantly had my feelings in his best interest. Not only was I impressed with his"

"Dr Kim is caring and extremely professional! He not only did a magnificent job on my face, he made sure to check in to see how I was healing. What I love most about Dr Kim is his expertise and eye for the most natural outcome. I highly recommend Dr Kim if you want a natural youthful look. He certainly is the best in Syracuse! "
"Early 50’s Need to Be Refreshed ! - I went to Dr. Kim to have two scars removed from having chicken pox as a child. It left me with 2 deep pock scars right between my eyes. Now add in the deep wrinkles that also come with age! Yuck! He removed the scars and used Dysport so I wouldn’t frown while I was healing. Very happy with results."
"Looove doctor Kim - I love doctor Kim, he did my nose and made it beautiful. My nose hung down in the profile and was wide in front. It turned out beautiful! And I am only 3 weeks post op. I’m okay I went in for my check up on my nose and got dysport. Doctor Kim is the best because he’s very informative and his staff is excellent"

"Very happy with my Rhinoplasty - I was very fortunate that I chose Dr Kim to perform a rhinoplasty and chin implant on me, I loved my results already and it's only 3 weeks since the surgery. Dr Kim and staff are professional, he explained everything to me before the surgery and he made sure that I'm comfortable. I referred my sister to him for a rhinoplasty as I was pretty sure that she is in good hands."

"Dr. Kim’s work is in a class of its own. He’s a magician. - Dr. Kim is a world-class facial plastic surgeon. I’ve been to the top surgeons in the country from Beverly Hills to Miami and I found Dr. Kim to be superior. His face and neck lift were flawless and so natural that no one could tell I had anything done, but everyone said I looked ten years younger. As Syracuse is a discreet location, I would highly recommend anyone who wants a top notch face and neck lift to fly in. His bedside manner is as fantastic as his work. I can’t recommend Dr. Kim enough. I think he is the best Facial plastic surgeon in the country."
"Amazing Doctor and Staff - Dr. Kim is extremely professional and precise. I was very nervous at first to get injections however he and his staff reassured me that I was in good hands. I absolutely love my results! I look natural and that is exactly what I was looking for. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for these procedures or more!"
"Neurotoxin and filler injections - he is so gentle and kind - Dr. Kim and his staff are wonderful. I have had neurotoxin and filler injections and he is so gentle and kind. The staff are welcoming and assuring. I would recommend Dr. Kim to everyone. Central New York has never seen anyone of his caliber before."
"I wouldn't trust anyone else with my face! - I met Dr. Kim last year. He is super kind and gentle!!!! I get Dysport injections from him every 3-4 months. My treatment is along my hair line, forehead and those crows feet around my eyes. I seriously would NOT go to anyone else! His ENTIRE staff is professional and welcoming every single time I go in there! Just go to him ONCE....you'll see for yourself."
"Great experience - I started going to Dr. Kim because a friend referred me. He answered all my questions and made me feel very relaxed . I received Dysport and fillers. I always look so natural , never over done. His staff is friendly and accommodating."
"Thrilled with my experience with Dr. Kim! - My friend had been raving about Dr. Kim for months telling me I needed to go in for a consult & my only regret was waiting so long to do so. I was greeted & roomed by a professional, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. Dr. Kim was truly exceptional. He really took his time with me & I didn’t feel rushed or confused. He listened to me, gave me honest feedback, and patiently reviewed options with me. After selecting which cosmetic enhancements I would like to try Dr. Kim & his staff walked me through the process and educated me on technique he would be using, the products, and what to expect during and after. I was so impressed with the thoroughness of the experience & felt at ease. Dr. Kim is an artist when it comes to facial injectables. His technique was meticulous and overall it was a painless experience that gave me the natural, youthful results I desired. I have received so many compliments about how youthful/rested I look recently and I attribute this to Dr. Kim’s mastery of the face. I will definitely be going to him for all my cosmetic concerns. We are lucky to have such a master of facial plastic surgery in our community who really listens to his patients needs and then helps enhance his clients beauty through the latest techniques and products."

The first time that i meet him,he made me feel that I was in safe hand. I love that he takes his time with every patient to explain and answered every questions. His staff are courteous and friendly, they always treat me with tender loving care. "
"Very High Praise - Syracuse, NY - Finding Dr Kim was the best gift I could give myself. His credentials, artistry and talent are unsurpassed. I can’t say enough about his entire team as soon as I entered his office. I will definitely work with him for future skin care. Don’t hesitate to treat yourself. You will be so happy with what he has to offer to help you."
"My 60th B-day Present to Me! - I had been thinking of having a neck and face lift since I turned 50 but time never allowed, however after having the procedure the "time" wasn't an issue at all. I recovered quickly and was out and about after just a week and a half without anyone noticing, other then saying retirement must agree with me because I looked wonderful! ;) So happy I got rid of my "turkey neck" and very droopy eyelids. I look so much better without looking like I had surgery, which was something I was very much afraid of. Very natural, no freakishness, and look refreshed and yes younger too!"
"Thrilled with the result - just returned for my final follow up - I had an upper and lower blepharoplasty on March. I just returned for my final follow up. I am so happy. I went to four other doctors for consultation and chose Dr. Kim. I couldn't be happier. Dr Kim and his office were wonderful. He was genuine and so accommodating. Dr Kim focused on my concerns with my eyes and did not look for all other issues to correct on my face and body (of which I do need) I didn't get the feel like he was out to make money. He wanted to fix what made me unhappy. He did!!! I am so thrilled with the results and it was a wonderful experience. Chose Dr. Kim for plastic surgery and then some."
"Dr. Kim is a great Dr. have been to other ENT and they never told me the problem with my nose. Dr. Kim fixed it and now I have less headaches and sleep better ."
"My experience was great. Had a rhinoplasty/septoplasty to correct a deviated septum and everything went as well or better than expected. Limited pain, discomfort, and swelling, and I can finally breath like normal. Definitely recommend them and would gladly go back if I had to do it over again. Thanks for everything!"
"Dr. Kim and his staff are the best.Facial injury required surgery,and I feel very fortunate that I was referred to Dr. Kim. His background and skills and experience are as good as they come. And a real good guy on top of it all.Big thanks to " Dr. Rembrandt" and his staff !!!!!"
"Dr. Kim is the most pleasant doctor that both my husband, Jacob and I have ever experienced. He explains everything before and while he doing a procedure, answers all questions to our satisfaction and his knowledge is amazing. There was nothing that we did not like about this doctor and we trust him one hundred percent. My husband was so pleased with his eye surgery. He had no pain and his sight is now amazing. He recently removed a spot on my leg and found cancer so has to do more surgery. I trust that he will handle this to my full satisfaction. Thank you, Dr. Kim, we are so fortunate we found you!"
"Dr Kim and his staff are very professional and I absolutely love the way my skin looks. I'm a very happy customer and highly recommend his services. Appointments are easy to make, wait time is short, and pricing is reasonable."
"AMAZING - Unbelievably I had the opportunity to have a nasal revision surgery with Dr.Kim with whom is nothing less than a GIFT to this area! Syracuse has never seen anything like this - His expertise and level of skill was felt and brought forth in every aspect of my experience from start to finish. I had a revision surgery to my nose and having had an initial excrutiating experience (complete with 2 black eyes) I was trying to brace myself. I can honestly say that I was breathing through both nostrils - the same day as surgery, could smell, could taste and was not in pain at all (no black eyes)! I am honored by the tender ways of gentleness that were extended to me under the care of this gifted doctor and practice. Thank you!!!"
"I want to say Doctor Kim is excellent as a surgeon..the quality of his work is Top Notch!! But he also has a expert way of bringing the human side to his work. I have had over 16 operationS for alot of things in my life and I can say never have I had doctor and staff make me feel more safe and cared for. I am so happy that he my doctor. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way What a blessing he and his staff are to me. So happy with his work.."
"Couldn't have been treated any better from the first phone call to the last appointment. Dr Halliday is amazing as well as all the staff. So positive and professional!!"
"When I went to my initial visit with Dr. Kim, I went there for a skin tag on my face. When he saw me he immediately saw that there was something wrong with my nose. Myself never noticed it except it was crooked a little bit. He advised me after a good look at it thatnmy nose should be fixed and repaired. He did surgery on my nose and I'll tell you what. I have never been able to smell like I can now. He did a terrific job on my nose. Never been happier. I would recommend him hands down. A great Dr and person. Thank you Dr Kim for my new sense off smell."
"I have had a great experience going to Dr. Halliday. It has been about a year of trying to figure out my allergies and sinus issues. I went in with crazy allergies and plugged ears. We did allergy testing and then decided that it would be best to go with sinus surgery since I had blocked sinuses, among other things. Dr Halliday was great pre and post op. and I would definitely recommend going to him if you are having these issues. I would also like to say that Nikki is amazing to go to for allergy testing and allergy shots. She is welcoming and easy going and I felt comfortable asking her any questions along the way. The whole office is great!"
"Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Quick procedure with fast recovery. very minimal evidence top of the line equipment. Dr. Kim is a pleasure to deal with. would absolutely recommend to anyone with any sort of nasal problems. Thank you soo much for a great and successful procedure and experience."
"I am so pleased with the natural face lift I had In June. Dr. Halliday is certainly amazing. Before the procedure, every time I would catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror , I couldn't believe it was me. My skin was sagging so much and I felt much older than I was. I went in for a consult and all of the staff were so nice and made me feel comfortable. Mary and Dr. Halliday spent a lot of time with me discussing the different options with absolutely no pressure. I decided to go forward and I am so glad I did. People come up to me a lot and ask if I got a new hair cut or lost weight. They just can't put their finger on what's different about me. I love how I look and now I have more confidence . I even take selfies . I would refer Dr. Halliday to anyone who is looking for these services . I really feel lat least 10 years longer. Dr. Halliday is truly an an artist."
"From the start, everyone in the office made me feel comfortable and informed. Dr. Kim is kind, professional and incredibly talented. He listened to me and gave me exactly the result I was hoping for. The surgical team was so supportive and friendly. I would highly recommend Dr. Kim."
"I can describe myself as no less than thrilled with my experience with Dr. Kim and his staff. The staff has been exceptionally friendly, professional, and helpful, from my initial consultation until my last check-up. Dr. Kim is an exceedingly skilled surgeon and I have been extremely pleased with my facial surgery results. He is also friendly and understanding, and will patiently go over any questions or concerns you may have. I never felt rushed when talking to him. I would recommend Dr. Kim and his staff to anyone in the Syracuse area needing facial plastic surgery."
"Dr. Kim, the nurses and office staff were wonderful. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. Recovery was quick and relatively pain free. Very little bruising."
"I'm so grateful I found Dr Kim. - I had surgery with Dr Kim 8/5/17 to correct a failed Septoplasty w/ear graft and Rhinoplasty performed by another surgeon in 2011 which resulted in my nose being crooked, nostrils collapsed and I was forced to breathe through my mouth. I am totally happy with the results; my nose is no longer crooked and I can finally breathe through it. I enthusiastically recommend Dr Sang W Kim....without reservation! He's kind, understanding, caring, professional and desires perfect results. If I decide to have additional procedures done facially, I will most definitely see Dr. Kim."
"Excellent surgeon fixed my broken nose - I am very ecstatic and relieved with the results of this surgery. I had been suffering since childhood from a broken nose and breathing difficulty. I had one prior nose operation with a different doctor elsewhere ~5 years before this one that did not fix the problem. The recovery from my recent surgery went much much smoother. Dr. Sang Kim is an extraordinarily talented surgeon. My nose is greatly better than before."
"So glad I chose Dr. Kim - I had a rhinoplasty 18 years old which left me with a droopy tip. Fear of looking "overdone" kept me away until I read about Dr. Kim. My confidence was increased at my first visit because the office staff are all very friendly, reassuring and informative. Dr. Kim is kind, professional and incredibly talented and I am completely happy with the results. The surgical team is just wonderful. I look like a better version of me - exactly what I was hoping for!"
"30 Yr Old Male Submental Chin/neck Lipo hereditary dbl chin- East Syracuse, NY - So far the experience was a whole lot easier than expected I feared the procedure, however i was given a prescription for that. I was amazed how painless this procedure has been. Obviously local anesthetic made this painless. The next day I have had some soreness and swelling. Scale of 1-10 pain is a 1.5. So far the worst part is the wrap i have to wear 24/7 for the first week. Dr Kim is great to work with very patient and great at keeping you informed.Updated on 22 Dec 2016:Updated on 22 Dec 2016:Updated on 23 Dec 2016:I removed the kinesio tape after consulting my doctor. I have also noticed bruising on the lower area of my neck that was not worked on. Still a medium qmount of swelling I have been using ice for 20 on 20 off for about an hour each morning.Updated on 25 Dec 2016:Cant wait to stop wearing this wrap 24/7 and excited to get stitches removed tues if all goes well. No pic i think it looks rather similar still prob from swelling i feel zero pain unless i press on the affected area.Updated on 28 Dec 2016:Stitches removed swelling starting to go down.Updated on 2 Jan 2017:Actually i am kinda discouraged at this point i feel like i dont see any difference there is still some swelling and they say it takes a month to really see so i am trying to be patient. I have almost no numbness 0 pain so thats positive the scar is almost gone! Doc said last week he would do steroid injections if needed when i go back on the 24th. Fingers crossed patiently waiting still........."
"Look no further - I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Kim, he's very personable and caring for his patients. The result is flawless. Dr. Kim is an exquisite artist- the best. I wouldn't let anyone else touch my face."
"Thank you to all that came out and shared their evening at Natural Face Center. It was so nice to see new faces who are now our friends and catch up with those who have been loyal supporters of the Practice. We're here for you."
"Extreme COMPETENCE and SKILL - Dr. Kim is world class. He succeeded in restoring my breathing where other surgeons had failed in the past. The post surgery discomfort (I would not even call it pain), was a thousand percent better than what I had experienced before. And his staff is a rare amazing collection of courteous and professional individuals. I highly recommend Dr. Kim and his staff!"
"63 Year Old...wanted a Neck Lift - Syracuse, NY - Dr. Kim and his staff were amazing...TRULY! So helpful, professional, caring and competent! And my results were better than I could have hoped for!! The procedure was relatively simple; recovery went very well...it was about one week before I went back to work but I was out and about in 4 days and even went to a concert and dinner 8 days post-op. I am an RN and would recommend Dr. Kim highly! If you are having second thoughts... don't!"
"Me. Ten Years Younger - East Syracuse, NY - Let me begin by saying that Dr. Kim is one of the kindest, most personable and very informative surgeons I have ever met. He is a highly skilled and very well educated .I felt very comfortable being in his skilled hands. This is not a surgery you take lightly, your face is what you show to the world. I am so pleased with my results I couldn't be happier. Seeing the side by side before and after is a little shocking (in a good way). He gave me back 10 more years. I did this for my son's wedding I didn't want to look worn out in the pictures.I will post some pictures of me at wedding later.For those of you thinking about doing this I say "Yes" definately. Well worth it."
"61 Year Old Man with Upper Eyelid Laxity - Syracuse, NY - I realize now how much sight was being blocked by the excess skin on my eyelids. I feel more confident driving. I also work in a warehouse. I am constantly looking up 10 to 15 feet at stock location. Since my surgery I find it much easier to see these areas. I am very happy I had it done. Everyone at the office was great. Friendly, helpful, and skilled. It is a pleasure to be able to go to an office with this many nice people. I can't thank them enough."
"Much Needed Lift - East Syracuse, NY - Like many born in the 60's I spent far too much time in the sun in the 70's. My skin was loose and very wrinkled for someone my age (53). I was aware and conscientious about it but it was one day in particular when I bent over and happened to catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror - I made the decision that I needed to do something. Dr. Kim was wonderful. I feel so much more confident with my appearance. My neck and jowls look amazing. I highly recommend Dr. Kim. His experience speaks for itself but his bedside manor is second to none. He is kind, professional, patient (I was not the best patient!) and I trust him implicitly."
"Very Satisfied, Excellent Experience! - Syracuse, NY - My motivation to have the eyelid surgery was to improve my eye sight ability. The heaviness of my eyelids were interfering with the ability to see correctly and the overlapping skin was starting to cover my eyes. Dr. Kim corrected this with great success. Now I can see, my eyelids don't feel like lead weights and I have my eyelids back. I would recommend anyone to have this procedure done and by the most qualified Dr. Sang Kim."
"Becoming the Best You - Syracuse, NY - As far back as I can remember, I hated my nose. It never matched my face or brought out my eyes or let me cut my hair short. I never wanted to be in photos. Once I finally got the courage to speak to Dr. Kim, my whole life changed. His kindness and sensitivity are incredible. His knowledge and expertise made me feel truly confident that I would have the best experience with him and I absolutely did. I could not possibly be happier with my results. Dr. Kim took the time to treat me like his only patient, listen to my goals, and care for me with all of his skill and talent. It's not about what other people think--it's about being the best version of you that you can be. It's not about just having the procedure and looking like you've had work done--it's about feeling confident as the best version of yourself and loving your unique aesthetics. I recommend Dr. Kim in the highest regard to anyone who is looking to make their life feel so much more amazing and fulfilled, just like I did."
"53 Year-old Male with Deep Creases in His Nasolabial Folds. - East Syracuse, NY - I had some deep creases in my nasolabial folds. Dr. Kim, who I have never been to before, used dermal filler called Restylane to plump up the creases. As far as con, there were none. The pros however are no more deep creases which took 7 to 10 years off my face. I would go back to Dr. Kim for all of my needs."
"35 Year Old Female - East Syracuse, NY - I am extremely pleased with the service I received from Dr.Kim. Not only did he give me one of the best Botox treatments I have ever had, he was very professional and very knowledgable. He took his time with my treatment and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend Dr Kim for any service he provides."
