In Dr. Michael K. Kim's own words

How Dr. Michael K. Kim describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • So the ability to do it in the office really saves time, makes it safe, and saves some money
  • Dr. Michael K. Kim's practice reassures patients concerned about breast implant-related issues and conducts preliminary testing, though detection is primarily based on history and physical examination.
  • I have tried personally many devices that people have tried to sell me to provide skin tightening on my face, my body, and I've not been really happy with the results

Specialization

  • Dr. Kim is also doing operations, facelifts and surgery to remove loose skin on the body

Technique

  • Many of the facelifts we do, patients lose volume in their cheeks, so we either put fat injections or reposition the fat
  • Dr. Michael K. Kim primarily uses smooth breast implants.
  • Dr. Michael K. Kim, MD incorporates ultrasonic with mechanical electrosuction in his work.

Technology

  • The three top reasons I like Renuvion is one, it's relatively non-invasive, you're not having big scars

Training & credentials

Consultation

  • Dr. Michael K. Kim's practice offers consultations for patients experiencing pain, swelling, or worry related to breast implants, during which they will be examined, risks will be discussed, implant type identified, and individual risk assessed.

Cost & consultation

  • Number two, often this procedure can be done awake under local anesthesia in the office so it saves you the risk of anesthesia, the cost of anesthesia, and overtime

Results

  • So a lot of people that want skin tightening, if they're not quite ready for a face lift or an arm lift or a thigh lift, this provides a way to maybe get enough skin tightening to make you happy without the big scars of surgery

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)

$125

Payments

4

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Michael K. Kim received $125 across 4 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 Mentor Worldwide LLC.

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?”
