This beautiful patient in her 20s saw one of our IG posts and said, “I want that.” She first learned about us through her friend and our colleague .aesthetics
During her consultation, she shared that even at her optimal weight, the area under her chin never had a distinct angle. She also noticed that in family photos, many relatives had the same neck shape—so she knew where hers was headed if she didn’t intervene. She was excited to finally address her biggest insecurity.
We took her to the operating room, where we placed a chin implant for added projection and performed an extended deep necklift. The latter involves a small incision under the chin (the same incision used to place the implant) and additional incisions around the earlobe and behind the ear. This is an excellent option for younger patients who don’t have facial laxity but do have a congenitally full or undefined neck and submental area.
She is pictured here just two months after surgery—and she’s loving her new shape. . If you’re interested in a consultation, call us at 503-575-1910 or send an inquiry through our website at drmichaelkim.com. Thanks! . . .

My artist daughter made a birthday card for me today. She even got my crooked smile in the portrait. And I love the message. The dad jokes are getting through! 💞 🎂

People have told me that they want to see more men on this page. I do too, but the men seems to be a little more shy when it comes to sharing their photos. Luckily, this handsome dude is okay with sharing.
He is 6 weeks out from his rhinoplasty and loves his result. It is natural and refined, and still a shape befitting of a gentleman. 👃💪🏻✨
Side note: he found me thorugh ChatGPT, so thanks to my AI friends for sending him my way! 🤖

There are better ideas than this. Just get the upper lid blepharoplasty.
Wait for it…

This beautiful patient in her early 40’s doesn’t look like she’s in her early 40’s! She has a youthful quality that we helped unlock with a temporal browlift and upper lid blepharoplasty. She wanted a natural result with a “light touch” and did not want to look overdone or like someone else. She has since moved out of the area, but we were able to get her to come back in. She is pictured here 2 years after her procedure and she has healed beautifully without a trace…just how we like it! A big shout out to who referred this wonderful patient.

The people (ok maybe one or two people) have been asking for more posts that show the early healing process so I’m gonna do more of that.
This beautiful nurse in her 20’s had disliked the shape of her nose even as early as age 5. She was looking for an overall reduction in the size of her nose. She also wanted a subtle swoop and to have better overall symmetry. Her lovely mother was super supportive throughout the process and shortly after the consultation they decided to move forward.
We performed her rhinoplasty just 6 days ago. Minimal to no bruising and mild swelling. Some of this is gentle tissue handling and efficiency by the surgeon (me!), but a lot of it is the piezo technology that we use. This device selective treats tissue in a way that is superior to that of the older tools that “break” the nose. The precision of the piezo is unmatched by the hammers, chisels, and files that so many others still use. At this point, I don’t do it any other way because I’m not a barbarian. 🔨 🙅🏻‍♂️

I’m excited to see her progress moving forward and will share some updates along the way. 👃✨

Last Friday, I was honored to be an invited speaker at the Elevate Conference hosted by my friend and colleague and held at in their beautiful education center in Oregon wine country. I spoke about the power of the lip lift and how we can collaborate with our dental colleagues who do incredible things with teeth.

I know this firsthand—the good doctor has worked wonders on my own smile and on many of the beautiful people throughout the greater Portland area. Check out her page and … you’ll probably recognize a face or two!

I love the spirit of collaboration, and it was refreshing to speak to a different audience. I’m in awe of what they can do, and they were equally fascinated by what’s possible surgically. In the end, it’s all about teamwork. And you know what they say…teamwork makes the lips (and teeth) look better. 👄 🦷 💕

Whoa! Two posts in one day? Must have been a full moon or something. 🌝
This beautiful patient in her 20s had wanted to change the shape of her nose since she was 11 years old! She didn’t like the overall size, asymmetry, and how her bridge and tip gave an overall downward appearance.
She wasn’t looking for a “Barbie” nose—just one that was smaller, straighter, and more symmetric.
She found me on Instagram and did her fair share of “stalking” the page to see our results, and she’s kind enough to pay it forward for other stalkers out there who want to see high-quality, natural rhinoplasty results.
She’s pictured 4 months after her surgery, and I just love how this shape complements her face. If you know someone considering a change, feel free to share this post with them. 👃✨

This beautiful patient came to see my in consultation seeking a change to the shape of her lips and her nose. In some patients, we can do them simultaneously, but there are two conditions when we like to stage them (do them at different times):

1. When the nose surgery is a revision surgery
2. When the rhinoplasty will likely involve alar base reduction or a reduction in the size and shape of the nostrils

The first reason is because previous nasal surgery incisions and lip lift incisions are close to each other there is a risk of poor healing due to diminished blood supply in the area. It’s not something you see when the nose is “virgin.”

The second reason is the reason why we did the lip first. She disliked the width and flare of her nostrils and changing this would required us to excise and then repair the nostrils in a way that is counter to the direction of where we repair the lip. It’s all crowded real estate in there.

So in her case, we took advantage of the relative width of her nose so that we could have a wider lift to the lips. Under local anesthesia and oral sedation, we took off a maximal vertical length of 4.5mm from a 17mm pre-procedure lip length. You can already see her increased tooth show and just overall better, more youthful proportions. She is now ONLY 5 weeks out from her procedure. Maybe it’s a little unfair to post this since she’s a fast healer, but there is certainly a range and she is at the fast end of the spectrum.

Next up will be her rhinoplasty. At the very minimum I would usually wait about 6 weeks. No rhyme or reason, but I would just want it to heal more before doing the nose. I’m super excited to finish the job! Stay tuned for updates…

What sorcery is this? Congratulations and for making the perfect snack. Today is launch day of the and we had to get some for the office. It was delicious of course! 🌮 🍦
I feel like I have been there on many of the major Salt and Straw milestones: first day of their first brick and mortar on Alberta, book signing (bought 5 books), multiple openings (I love free ice cream), and now this. I have also been to Taco Bell too many times to count late at night for Crunchwrap Supremes. I took many “runs to the border” and even remember enjoying every item of the 59, 79, 99 menu (that’s in cents because I’m old). 👴🏻
In any case, I think it’s only fitting that they sponsor me because my body is already built by their products. In the meantime, enjoy this unboxing / ASMR / Mukbang video and have a nice weekend. ✌🏻
