RHINOPLASTY, A TRUE SPECIALTY
While rhinoplasty, or a nose job, is commonly known, most people don’t realize it is the most complex of facial plastic surgeries. The nose's three-dimensional structure, its tremendous variability in shape, and its role as a breathing organ, all make rhinoplasty especially challenging.
Also, there different kinds of nose surgery – cosmetic nose surgery, revision rhinoplasty (to correct a previous nose surgery), and functional rhinoplasty to improve breathing through the nose.
Through research, teaching, and performing thousands of nasal surgeries, many of them corrections of others' work, Dr. Kim has achieved international professional acclaim for his expertise in this complicated surgery called rhinoplasty.

DAVID W. KIM, MD RECEIVES PATIENT'S CHOICE AWARD SECOND YEAR IN A ROW
Dr. Kim's has been selected as a Patient Favorite the second year in a row. Patients rated such things as his bedside manner, the amount of time spent with them, staff courtesy, appropriate follow-up, and their overall opinion of him as a physician.
What is more beautiful, a rose or a lily? A mountain vista or a view of the sea? A tropical fish or a tropical flower?
Clearly the old saying is true. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. There is no one right answer about which flower – or which face – is more beautiful. Yet, traditionally, plastic surgeons have been taught one basic formula on which to base facial enhancements. Dr. Kim believes in a more natural approach.
"One of the amazing and wonderful things about the human face is its diversity," says Dr. Kim. With such a huge variation of individual traits, it would be a mistake to try to create the same features for every patient. Differences based on family features, ethnicity, gender, and age all play a role. Increasingly, our standards of beauty are broadening as a greater diversity of people are visible in media and culture.
As a leading proponent of natural beauty and the unique beauty of each individual, San Francisco facial plastic surgeon David W. Kim has taught, published papers, and lectured on the merits of enhancing an individual's features through facial plastic surgery. He believes that the cosmetic surgeon must be sensitive to ethnic, cultural, familial variations when guiding and treating patients.
