Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Kyle Kimura

Sourced directly from Dr. Kyle Kimura's social posts and replies.

Do breast implants freeze in cold temperatures?
No, breast implants do not freeze, even when left outside in freezing temperatures for 45 minutes.

What is the recovery like after Allura chin laser liposuction?
Patients can typically drive home after the in-clinic Allura chin laser liposuction procedure, which is performed using the Sciton Joule X system under local anesthesia only. The procedure involves an incision narrower than a pencil eraser, leading to subtle but great results.
Source →
Who should I consult for Dupuytren’s disease at Ascentist Plastic Surgery?
If you are suffering from Dupuytren’s disease, you can consult with Dr. Eagan or Marci Cunningham PA-C at Ascentist Plastic Surgery. The practice offers help for this condition.
Source →
How can I purchase Skin Better Science products through Ascentist Plastic Surgery?
Skin Better Science products are medical-grade and not available on general online retailers like Amazon or Derm Store. To purchase, you need to create an account on the Skin Better website and associate yourself with Ascentist Plastic Surgery. The practice is happy to provide a direct link. NP Lauribeth also offers free skincare consultations and can prescribe Skinbetter products, guiding patients on postoperative care and everyday skin management.

Are fat grafting results permanent, and what is the survival rate?
Yes, grafted fat is considered a permanent filler and becomes a part of the body. However, not all transferred fat survives; its survival is dependent on blood flow. With new techniques and devices, Ascentist Plastic Surgery achieves a high survival rate of 80% to 90% of the grafted fat. Fat is typically taken from an area where the patient doesn't want it and placed where it is desired.

What are the reasons to consider inverted nipple correction, and what does the procedure involve?
Inverted nipples are a common condition that can cause hygiene issues (as a deeply inverted nipple can gather moisture and debris), difficulties with breastfeeding (when the nipple cannot evert properly), and cosmetic concerns. Before treatment, the practice screens for underlying causes by asking about imaging status and breast cancer history, especially if the inversion developed over time. The in-office procedure, performed under local anesthesia, takes about 20 minutes per side with a relatively easy recovery. There are two techniques: a stretching technique to break up scar tissue and stretch ducts (reliable but less definitive), or releasing the ducts (a very definitive solution). Patients should be aware that releasing the ducts will prevent future breastfeeding and has a slightly higher rate of affecting nipple sensation.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$307

Payments

9

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Kyle Kimura received $307 across 9 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation Inc..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”

What areas of care does Dr. Kyle Kimura cater to?
Dr. Kimura specializes in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. This includes procedures like rhinoplasty, facelifts, brow lifts, eyelid surgery, scar removal, and treatment for facial paralysis and microtia. He also performs reconstructive jaw surgery and addresses issues like lipomas and breathing difficulties. The practice utilizes the Sciton Joule X system for Allura chin laser liposuction, performed in-clinic under local anesthesia with an incision narrower than a pencil eraser, yielding subtle yet effective results. For rhinoplasty recovery, the practice emphasizes reducing swelling, with patient homework often focused on this goal. Taping the nose at night, particularly one week post-surgery, is recommended to decrease swelling and help reveal the nose's fine contours, aiming for final results as soon as possible. Ascentist Plastic Surgery has chosen Skin Better Science as its preferred medical-grade skincare line. These products are paraben-free, dye-free, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, suitable for all skin types, and backed by science, incorporating seven unique technologies. They are clinically tested for tolerability and effectiveness, and the practice values Skin Better Science's commitment to continuous innovation. The staff personally uses these products and has experienced significant skin improvement, considering them the best in the skincare market for enhancing surgical results and promoting longevity. The practice strongly recommends medical-grade skincare, including Vitamin C serum, retinol, and a specific sunscreen, for all patients before, during healing, and after surgical procedures like face/neck lifts and laser resurfacing. The practice offers assistance in choosing breast implant sizes, utilizing an advanced implant sizer system. Fat grafting is a significant and versatile tool used extensively across the practice for both cosmetic and reconstructive purposes, including the face, breasts, and buttock region. The practice prides itself on using very high-quality fat and considers it a great technique for addressing specific areas of concern. Inverted nipple correction is a common condition addressed by the practice, offering a relatively easy solution for hygiene issues, breastfeeding difficulties, and cosmetic concerns.
