NO TWO PATIENTS AND NO TWO SURGEONS ARE THE SAME
Dr. Kim performs a comprehensive evaluation based on his extensive experience as a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon. To achieve the most optimal results, Dr. Kim educates his patients on all possible factors that will lead to achieving their aesthetic goals and creates a unique surgical plan based on these factors. No two individuals are ever alike, so choosing a highly skilled facial plastic surgeon is imperative to achieve natural results. While surgeries can be similar, each procedure's results depend on the following:
- The aesthetic planning, skill and experience of the surgeon
- Patient’s anatomy
- Patient’s overall health and healing response to surgery

Surgical
PRIMARY RHINOPLASTY (MALE/FEMALE/PIEZO)
Average range: $18,500-$20,000
Primary rhinoplasty is nasal reshaping surgery performed for the first time. Rhinoplasty is considered the most complex of all plastic surgery operations and is best accomplished by surgeons like Dr. Kim, who specializes in delivering consistent and predictable results. He also places equal weight on the postoperative form and function of the nose.
Piezo Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty is one of the latest innovations in nasal surgery. It can modify the internal structures of the nose with incredible precision and power, yet it does not harm surrounding soft tissue and skin. In keeping with his commitment to producing the best possible rhinoplasty outcomes, Dr. Michael Kim proudly announces that he is the first and only rhinoplasty surgeon in the Pacific Northwest to leverage the revolutionary capabilities of the Piezo device.
ASIAN/ETHNIC RHINOPLASTY
Average range: $20,000-$22,000
Your background and heritage help shape your nose structure, but you may want to alter what nature gave you. Dr. Michael Kim's ethnic rhinoplasty is a carefully-performed nose surgery to subtly change nose structure while maintaining the beauty of your natural features, but without sacrificing your racial background's unique and attractive qualities. A custom ethnic rhinoplasty considers and respects the differences in structure and shape of various ethnicities, with a nose reshaping surgery that creates balance and harmony in your facial appearance.
REVISION RHINOPLASTY
Average range: $25,000-$27,000
Rhinoplasty performed by inexperienced hands can lead to unfavorable and unattractive results that require revision surgery. When necessary, revision rhinoplasty is performed to correct a previous rhinoplasty result. Therefore, a top-rated rhinoplasty surgeon specializing in the procedure must perform a revision rhinoplasty to minimize the chance of needing another operation.
ENDONASAL RHINOPLASTY
Average range: $15,000-$16,000
Endonasal rhinoplasty, or closed rhinoplasty, is a surgical technique that involves making incisions only within the nostrils. This approach suits less extensive primary nasal surgery with limited tip modifications. It offers the advantage of having no external scar and, in some cases, faster postoperative healing.
ALARPLASTY
Average range: $6,500-$7,500
When nostrils are excessively flared or wide, it can detract from an otherwise attractive nose and negatively impact a person's self-image. This is one of the reasons why patients opt for rhinoplasty to reshape their noses. Alarplasty, also known as nostril reduction surgery, is a procedure that aims to create harmony and balance in the nose, boosting patients' confidence in their appearance. During a private consultation, Dr. Kim will conduct a comprehensive facial analysis to determine the ideal measurements for the nose and nostrils. The patient's unique anatomy will be thoroughly examined to determine the necessary changes.
RHINOPHYMA CORRECTION
Average range: $6,500-$10,000
Rhinophyma is a noncancerous skin condition that can cause the nose to enlarge and become disfigured, often resulting in a bulbous appearance and red bumps. Although it can affect anyone, it is more common in adult men and is believed to be caused by untreated rosacea and other factors. Rhinophyma can significantly impact facial symmetry and cause self-consciousness about one's appearance. However, rhinophyma reduction is a cosmetic procedure that can correct these issues. This procedure is designed to minimize the symptoms of rhinophyma, including aesthetic concerns and nasal obstruction caused by enlarged nasal tissue.
DEEP PLANE FACE & NECK LIFT
Average range: $26,000 to $27,500
A deep plane facelift offers more significant aging face changes with strategically placed incisions to ensure inconspicuous scarring. The deeper soft tissues are elevated and secured to a more youthful position, excess skin is trimmed away, and the wounds are meticulously sutured.
EXTENDED SMAS LIFT
Average range: $20,000-$22,000
An extended SMAS lift is a surgical procedure that involves lifting and tightening the deeper layers of the face, known as the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), to improve the appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles. This technique extends the traditional SMAS lift, lifting the SMAS layer further into the neck and jawline to provide more comprehensive rejuvenation. The extended SMAS lift is often used to address more advanced signs of aging, such as jowls, deep nasolabial folds, and sagging skin in the neck area. This procedure can provide long-lasting results and a more youthful, refreshed appearance..
ISOLATED DEEP NECK LIFT
Average range: $20,000-$21,000
Isolated deep neck lift is a surgical procedure that focuses on the lower third of the face and neck. It involves making incisions behind the ears and under the chin to access the underlying muscles and tissues. The surgeon then tightens and repositions these structures to create a more youthful and defined jawline and neck contour. This procedure is typically recommended for patients with excess skin and fat in the neck area but does not require a complete facelift. It can significantly improve the appearance of the neck and jowls, with minimal scarring and downtime.
DIRECT NECK LIFT
Average range: $15,500-$16,500
A neck lift consists of a group of customized surgical techniques to improve the appearance of your jawline and neck by eliminating or removing signs of aging. Dr. Kim strategically contours the neck's tissues by removing excess fat deposits through a specialized platysmaplasty technique that eliminates vertical banding. Subsequent repositioning of excess soft tissue laxity and skin removal restore a youthful neckline.
BROW LIFT
Average range: $6,500-$9,500
A sagging brow can create a tired or angry appearance. Also known as a forehead lift, a brow lift raises the skin and soft tissue of the forehead and brow to rejuvenate the appearance of the upper face.
EYELID SURGERY
Lower Blepharoplasty
Average range: $12,400-$15,400
Upper Blepharoplasty
Average range: $6,000-$8,900
Double Eyelid Surgery
Average range: $6,300-$8,900
Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, can correct excess upper eyelid skin or restore the youthful contours of the lower lids. It can be performed alone or paired with other facial cosmetic procedures, such as a facelift, a brow lift, or laser skin resurfacing.
CHIN AUGMENTATION AND REDUCTION
Augmentation
Average range: $8,500-$9,700
Reduction
Average range: $9,500-$10,500
Also known as mentoplasty or genioplasty, chin surgery enhances the size, shape, and projection of the chin. Chin augmentation with an implant is often recommended for patients having rhinoplasty, as both features play prominent roles in determining a balanced profile. Reduction may be performed to the upper and lower jaw to improve chewing dynamics and how the teeth fit together while reducing an overly prominent chin to a more natural position.
OTOPLASTY
Average range: $11,000-$12,000
Prominent ears can cause facial disproportions and, as a result, can draw unwanted attention. Dr. Michael Kim performs ear surgery, or otoplasty, to reduce the size and reshape prominent ears.
EARLOBE REPAIR
Earlobe Reduction
Average range: $3,950-$4,200
Standard Earlobe Repair
Average range: $2,300-$2,500
Unilateral Standard Earlobe Repair
Average range: $1,700-$2,000
Stretched Earlobe Repair
Average range: $3,000-$3,100
An earlobe may require surgical repair for a variety of reasons. Whether it is a conventional piercing that elongates or splits the lobe or a body modification from earlobe stretching, it is possible to reconstruct and restore the earlobes through a short, in-office procedure.
LIP LIFT
Upper Modified Lip Lift
Average range: $6,500-$7,000
Corner Lip Lift
Average range: $4,000-$4,500
Upper + Corner Lip Lift
Average range: $9,500-$10,000
A lip lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to shorten the distance between the base of the nose and the upper lip. It helps roll out the upper lip to increase the pout, exposes more of the red portion of the upper lip, and gives the lips a more youthful look.
BUCCAL FAT REDUCTION
Average range: $6,000-$6,500
Buccal fat reduction is a cosmetic surgery that aims to improve the contour and definition of the cheeks and lower face. The procedure involves reducing the volume of the buccal fat pad, which is the fat located between the cheek and jaw bones. The size of this fat pad varies from person to person, and when it is particularly large, it can create a round and chubby appearance to the face. Buccal fat reduction can help to address this issue and achieve a more sculpted facial appearance.
LASER RESURFACING
Perioral, periorbital, fractional, and ablative
Average range: $3,500-$5,300
Laser skin resurfacing is an advanced cosmetic procedure that can address various skin concerns, such as wrinkles, scars, uneven skin tone, age spots, and sun damage. It can be performed as a standalone treatment or in combination with other procedures. This technique uses short, concentrated light pulses to remove irregular skin layers. The laser removes the top layer of skin and heats the underlying dermis, stimulating collagen production and promoting new, healthy skin growth. Our clinic uses the Sciton Joule Erbium-YAG Laser, the gold standard for laser skin resurfacing. This state-of-the-art laser emits a narrow beam of light, allowing for greater precision and reducing the risk of unintentional damage to surrounding tissue. The Erbium-YAG laser targets water, making it less likely to cause harmful side effects.
SUBMENTAL LIPOSUCTION
Average range: $4,000-$4,500
Submental liposuction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess fat from under the chin and neck area. It is often performed to improve the appearance of a double chin, jowls, or a poorly defined jawline. The procedure involves making a small incision under the chin and inserting a cannula, a thin tube to suction the excess fat. The surgeon carefully sculpts the area to create a more defined and youthful contour. Submental liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia and typically has a short recovery time. It is often combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as a facelift or neck lift, to achieve optimal results.
FAT TRANSFER
Average range: $3,800-$4,000
Facial fat transfer, also known as fat grafting, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance facial volume and contour by using the patient's own fat cells. The process involves harvesting excess fat from areas through liposuction. The extracted fat is then processed to purify and prepare it for transfer. The fat is carefully injected into specific areas of the face, such as the cheeks, lips, or under the eyes, to restore lost volume, soften wrinkles, and create a more youthful appearance. Facial fat transfer is known for its natural and long-lasting results, as the transferred fat integrates with the existing tissues, providing a soft and natural-looking enhancement.
NONSurgical
FACETITE
Average range: $6,500-$7,000
FaceTite can provide mini facelift-like results without the associated scars, downtime, and cost. It is performed under local anesthesia or light sedation in the office procedure room with only two to five days of downtime. Results will be seen immediately and continue improving for 6-12 months. FaceTite utilizes Radio-Frequency Assisted Lipolysis (RFAL) to safely deliver energy that permanently destroys fat cells and simultaneously tightens the skin of the lower face and neck.
ACCUTITE
Average range: $5,000-$6,000
Accutite is an attachment that utilizes the same effective FaceTite technology but with a smaller and more agile design. This treats additional facial areas, including the brow, around the eyes, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jawline. Despite its small size, Accutite is a powerful addition to the EmbraceRF platform, providing the utmost precision during treatment.
MORPHEUS8
Includes single treatment + treatment series costs
Average range: $1,600-$5,100
Morpheus8 is a fractional skin treatment that effectively enhances skin quality while ensuring safety. It is ideal for persistent wrinkles, discoloration, and acne scarring. This Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device (SARD) employs a series of gold-coated needles that penetrate the skin and transmit radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin and stimulate collagen production. Morpheus8 is often combined with FaceTite and AccuTite as a complementary treatment performed simultaneously.
