Frequently Asked Questions

Good questions.
Thoughtful answers.

A little clarity before your next step. Explore the answers below, or bring your own questions to the team.

What happens at your consultation?

Your consultation is a private conversation with Dr. Kim about your goals, health history, and options. He can assess your anatomy, explain his recommendations, and answer your questions. There is no pressure to decide during the visit.

How do I know if a surgeon is actually qualified?

Look for board certification in plastic surgery and ask about training, hospital affiliations, and surgical facility accreditation. Dr. Kim is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Yale-trained, and affiliated with Stamford Health.

Where do procedures take place, and is it safe?

Ask the team to confirm the location and accreditation of the facility for your procedure, who will provide anesthesia, and what safety arrangements apply. Every procedure has risks; discuss those risks and your individual health history with Dr. Kim.

Do you offer financing?

Financing options can be discussed with the practice. Contact the office for current availability, eligibility, and terms, and ask for the details of your individual treatment quote.

Does insurance ever cover plastic surgery?

Coverage depends on the procedure, your policy, and your insurer’s requirements. Ask the office and your insurer to clarify coverage, any required documentation, and your expected out-of-pocket costs before scheduling.

How much downtime should I expect?

Recovery varies with the procedure, your health, and the details of your care. Ask about work, driving, exercise, lifting, and travel individually. Follow your surgical team’s instructions rather than a general online timeline.

Will people be able to tell I had work done?

Dr. Kim’s approach emphasizes proportion and results that suit your features. Discuss your expectations, the limits of treatment, and how healing may affect your appearance. Individual results vary and cannot be guaranteed.

I’m coming from Westchester or further. How do visits work?

The practice is at 2777 Summer Street, Suite 210, in Stamford. Discuss your travel plans and appointment schedule with the team before booking transport or accommodation. Ask whether you will need support or a stay nearby.

How private is all of this?

Private consultations and discretion are part of the practice’s approach. Ask the office how your information and any photographs will be used and what consent is needed. Please avoid sending sensitive medical details through general website inquiries.

How do I get started?

Call the office or send a request through the contact page. The team will help arrange a consultation and explain the fee, appointment details, and anything you should bring.
