			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Smoothing out wrinkles, fine lines and restoring youth to your face has never been so quick, easy, cost effective and efficient as it is today. In years past the only option available to those wishing for facial rejuvenation was a face life surgery. Face lift surgery is still one of the best options out there for restoring youth to those with later signs of aging, but for those who only have early signs of aging, or those who cannot afford the time or cost of an invasive surgical procedure, there is now Houston  BOTOX injections.</p>
<p>BOTOX injections have helped countess men and women achieve a natural looking facial rejuvenation by effectively treating the premature signs of aging. This non-surgical procedure takes only a matter of minutes to administer and the results will last you approximately three to four months. Oftentimes BOTOX injections may be done at the same time as other dermal fillers such as Juvederm to achieve the best results possible.</p>
<p>A consultation is the first step to achieving a more rejuvenated, rested, youthful appearance. Contact our office to schedule your consultation today to find out your facial rejuvenation options!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s hard to know what potential results may be possible. How do you know what&#8217;s a &#8220;realistic expectation&#8221;? Dr. Kim offers a wide range of cosmetic procedures to rejuvenate and enhance all parts of the body. On this site you will find a comprehensive <a href="http://www.drkimplasticsurgery.com/texas-cosmetic-gallery/">Before and After Photo Gallery</a> showing the results some of our patients have enjoyed at the hands of our talented and experienced Houston area Plastic Surgeon.</p>
<p>In the gallery you will see the results of procedures like face lifts, breast augmentations, liposuction, Juvederm, tummy tuck and many, many more. These photos will not only give you an idea of the kind of results possible, but show you the skill and dedication our Plastic Surgeons and supporting team achieve day in and day out. It is important to remember while looking through the gallery, though, that no two patients are exactly a like and one patient’s results may not be possible for another patient, depending on a number of variables. The best way to determine what is possible for you personally is to contact our office and set up your own personal, confidential consultation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our eyes often communicate more to others than the words we say. Our eyes can say, “I love you,” “How dare you forget to take out the trash,” “I’m scared,” and so much more. As we age, however, our eyes begin to communicate things we don’t always want them to say. The sagging skin and extra wrinkles seem to be telling everyone, “I haven’t slept in days,” or “I’m upset.”</p>
<p>It is the natural coarse of life and gravity to begin to pull us down , but now we have options to lift us up again. You don’t have to let your sagging eyes tell a story you don’t want it to tell. You can lift those drooping eyelids and be brought back to a more youthful expression that better represents the story of how you truly feel inside.</p>
<p>To see the change a<a href="http://www.drkimplasticsurgery.com/woodlands-plastic-surgery-procedures/face-procedures/eyelid-surgery/"> Blepharoplasty</a> can give to you, check out our <a href="http://www.drkimplasticsurgery.com/texas-cosmetic-gallery/eyelid-surgery">Before and After Photo Gallery!</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Though glorious and wonderful in itís own right, having children can also have some less glorious and wonderful side-effects, particularly for your body. Diet and exercise is always beneficial, but there are some things diet and exercise cannot fix, for example left-over hanging skin or sagging breasts. These days, many of these women are now turning to the Mommy Makeoever to help them get back into pre-baby form.</p>
<p>A Mommy Makeover is not one specific procedure, but rather a phrase coined to define an almost limitless combination of procedures Moms are getting to get their bodies back. The procedure is especially tailored to fit each Moms individual needs and goals. The most common Mommy Makeover procedures include abdominoplasty or tummy tuck, liposuction and breast lift with or without augmentation. Dr. Kim will walk you through your options and the procedures in your consultation.</p>
<p>Contact us to schedule your consultation with Dr. Kim today!</p>

It is important not only to check your Plastic Surgeon’s credentials but also to view photos of their previous patients to see if the results they have produced appeal to you.

<p>The next step is the consultation. In your consultation you and your prospective doctor will discuss the specifics of what you want to achieve and whether or not these are realistic.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many women, particularly later in age, after weight loss or pregnancy and breastfeeding, find themselves dissatisfied with the direction their breasts have begun to head in. All of these factors, as well as genetics, contribute to causing breasts to sag. While there is no one answer for each woman, many women have chosen to undergo a Breast Lift procedure to restore their breasts to a more youthful appearance. <a href="http://www.drkimplasticsurgery.com/about/">Board certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Kim</a> has helped many Houston area women in their quest to restore a more youthful appearance to their breasts.</p>
<p>During a <a href="http://www.drkimplasticsurgery.com/woodlands-plastic-surgery-procedures/breast/breast-lift/">Breast Lift</a> procedure an incision- the size and shape of which will be specifically determined depending on the amount of lift necessary ñ is made around the areola area. The areola and nipple are typically left intact to their original blood supply and nerves. The excess skin which is sagging is removed and the breast is re-positioned higher. The areola is also generally repositioned higher to match the newly positioned breasts. In some cases the areola may also be re-shaped or re-sized, then the remaining skin is closed around the areola creating perkier, more youthful and firmer breasts.</p>
<p>If you live in the Woodlands, Katy or Houston area and are interested in learning more about how a Breast Lift surgery may benefit you, contact our office today to schedule a consultation with Dr. Kim. We look forward to helping you in your restorative journey.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thousand of women every year in the U.S. alone opt to go bigger by enhancing their breasts through Breast Augmentation. For women who are born with heavy, large, overdeveloped breasts the concept of going smaller may seem to outsiders a strange choice considering the amount of women opting to go bigger these days. What many people who do not deal with over-sized breasts on a daily basis do not realize is that there are a number of physical and emotional strains associated with having large breasts. Often these women deal with chronic neck, shoulder and back pain. Large breasts can make social situation uncomfortable, fashion choices limited and physical activities very painful. Dr. Kim has helped a number of women lead more comfortable and pain-free lives through Breast Reduction surgery.</p>
<p>During a <a href="http://www.drkimplasticsurgery.com/woodlands-plastic-surgery-procedures/breast/breast-reduction/">Breast Reduction</a> surgery, Dr. Kim will make an incision around the areola (there are a few different incision options, depending on the amount that is being altered) and generally the areola will stay in tact to it’s original blood source and nerves. The excess fatty and glandular tissue and skin is removed. The areola may be repositioned, reshaped or re-sized to better match the new breasts shape. The remaining skin is then closed around the areola to create smaller, lighter, and firmer breasts.</p>
<p>If you are interested in learning how Breast Reduction surgery can improve your life, contact our office to schedule your confidential consultation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our faces are the area of our body most looked at through out our lives. They communicate our emotions, thoughts, and feelings even when we aren’t saying anything. They are also one of the first areas that begin to show signs of aging. Men and women alike have been searching for way to “turn back time” and find facial rejuvenation. One of the most popular way to achieve that is through <a href="http://www.drkimplasticsurgery.com/woodlands-plastic-surgery-procedures/face-procedures/facelift/">Houston Rhytidectomy</a>, perhaps better known by most as Face lift surgery.</p>
<p>Face lift surgery generally takes around 4 to 6 hours and can improve the areas around the eyes, the forehead, and the jowls. It will help with wrinkles and sagging caused by excess skin. With age our skin loses it’s elasticity which is what causes it to become loose and sag. Occasionally, liposuction may also be used to create the results desired.</p>
<p>Starting a dialogue with your plastic surgeon is the first step in addressing what results are achievable for you. Contact our office today to set up your consultation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Almost everyone who undergoes a significant, dramatic weight loss is going to have some amount of excess, sagging skin left over. Excess, sagging skin around the abdomen is also common in women who have had multiple pregnancies. It can be an emotionally traumatizing thing to deal with and can destroy confidence, as well as hinder fashion choices. People who are in good health and have been at a stable, healthy weight for at least 6 months, and who have excess skin around the abdomen are generally good candidates for Abdominoplasty.</p>
<p>Abdominoplasty is a procedure to remove the excess skin around the abdomen. There are several varying types of Abdominoplasty, or Tummy Tuck, procedures depending on the amount of work that needs to be done. One thing to keep in mind when considering an Abdominoplasty procedure is that the scar from this surgery will be permanent, but most plastic surgeons work hard to ensure that it will be easily hidden by most undergarments or swim wear.</p>
