How to Choose Your Cosmetic Surgeon


Getting a cosmetic surgery is a big decision. It entails days, weeks, or even months of weighing the risks and benefits. People often consult their close family and friends for advice. However, the best person to help you out is your surgeon, thus the reason why it is very important to find a reliable and honest cosmetic surgeon.

An ideal cosmetic surgeon is someone whom you feel comfortable with. S/he should be someone who genuinely listens to what you want. S/he gives suggestions and offers you options and respects the decision you come up with. Furthermore, His/her line should be open during reasonable times of the day so you can contact him/her incase there will be a change of plan or something came up after the procedure. To sum it all up, the ideal surgeon is someone who you can communicate with and shares the same vision as you do.

As a registered nurse, I often come across with people who ask for my advice regarding their doctors. When someone, especially Asian women, approaches me regarding cosmetic surgery, there is only one person I have in mind and that's Dr. Kim.

Dr. Ahsup Andrew Kim, M.D.. is the director of Advance Beauty Cosmetic Clinic based in Sydney, Australia. Dr. Kim graduated at The University of New South Wales in Sydney and received his Masters degree in medicine from Chung-Ang University Medical School in Seoul, Korea.

He traveled across many Asian countries to perfect his craft. He very well knows that Asian beauty is intricate, fragile, and unique. Each Woman requires individualized approach because what may look good for one may not look good for the other. Moreover, each person wants different things and Dr. Kim respects that. For that reason, he personally assesses the client and helps them with their decision making because he strongly believes that the key to a successful surgery is open communication.

During a consultation with Dr. Kim, expect that he'll ask you to bring a photo of your desired outcome. This will help him further understands what the client exactly want. Furthermore, he is honest enough to tell his patients that an exact replica may not be possible, but he could surely produce an outcome near to what his patient desires.

Aside from that, Dr. Kim requires his patients to undergo a thorough consultation where he will fully discuss everything from pre- to post-surgery transparently. He'll discuss any problem that could arise, what could be done in case such problems occur, the success rate of the procedure, what to do after the procedure, and the estimated cost.

Everything is transparent. Everything is written in black and white. What more could you ask? Personally, I find Dr. Ahsup Andrew Kim as the best cosmetic surgeons anyone can find especially for an Asian beauty like me.
