I got several consultations from multiple surgeons, but Dr. Kahng instantly knew exactly what needed to be done to fix my nose for my revision rhinoplasty. He has that calmness of someone who just knows their stuff and can do what he’s proposing. And he’s a real, actual person who understands the concerns you have but might be afraid to ask. He also was very geared toward making the recovery as smooth as possible and fast as possible. He was a little bit more relaxed about what I was allowed to do during my recovery than some other offices said they would be, and so far my nose looks to be healing nicely. (I’m about 3 weeks post-op). His whole staff including Julie have been wonderful to work with, and they really worked with me to help me get what I wanted. So happy I went there! And I’ll be heading back for other things in the future whenever I need them.

Alice did an amazing job on my smile lines. I am beyond happy with my results. She was very nice and patient. Kept making sure I was okay during the process. I didn't feel a thing which is a huge plus. Everyone was very kind. I would definitely recommend this place. I will definitely be coming back

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. David Kahng! One year post op (breast aug) and I am beyond satisfied with my results. I sought many consultations before deciding to move forward with this procedure and that was in large part after seeing Dr. Kahng and learning everything I needed to know about the process. All of my questions were answered, I felt so comfortable from start to finish, and I felt very in control and in the loop with everything big to small. You need to have trust and good communication for a surgery like this and they knocked it out of the park. Also... JULIE! She is the best, she made me feel like an absolute queen the entire year long journey. So kind, sweet and caring - actually this goes for the entire staff! Everyone was always so helpful and welcoming. There is a lot that goes into this procedure - many pre op appointments, post op care, and follow ups through the first year of recovery. Honestly any time I had to go in for a check up or appointment, I looked forward to it! I knew it would be a good experience. Best of luck to anyone considering this journey - I am so glad I did and with CARA / Dr. Kahng!

The is seriously my favorite place to go to for everything!!! I get my laser, Botox, fillers and recently even Ultherapy done here! Everyone is so helpful and they answer every question I have with so much patience. The process was very easy and Julie explained everything well along the way. Very competitive pricing as well. Highly recommended.

Cara is definitely my ultimate place to go for my beauty enhancements. The office is super clean, the staff is very welcoming and friendly. As well as all the nurses in the office. Nurse Vanessa did an amazing job on my lips she's been doing my lips for the past 3 years including my Botox. I love that she is very self explanatory with every step that she is doing, very clean and most important professional and knowledgeable with the face anatomy. I know I chose the right place. Thank you everyone at Cara. Can't wait for dr kahng to do my BBL.

People have been asking about my experience with dr. kahng, so i thought i would just post about it. My experience was super smooth, throughout the whole process. everyone at the clinic was super nice (julie was my consultant, love her), including the doctor himself. he holds himself with a quiet confidence, and was clear and honest about what my expectations should be. just overall a very pleasant person. Surgery day came and i was NERVOUS but the nurses were so kind and made sure to ask if i had any questions. almost 3 hrs later, i was wheeled out to the car. after the 30 min drive home, i was ready to walk around and talk. there was no pain throughout the healing process-- at least in my experience. the first night was the most unpleasant, because i had to get used to breathing through my mouth. but after 2 days, i could stop using a drip pad, and halfway through the first week they had me come in for a gentle cleaning. you do not do any of the cleaning yourself!!! no peroxide, no saline, only water and q-tips for blood that dried outside the nose. they will do the cleaning for you. i got it cleaned 3 days post, 1 week post, and 2 weeks post. I did not have any significant swelling or bruising after the surgery. obviously, my nose is swollen, but i didn't look like i had two black eyes at any point. no one at the clinic seemed surprised at this-- i truly think dr. kahng is just hella good at his job. The full cost included anesthesia and post surgery visits, which i was glad to hear. (AND A STEROID SHOT they give u in the first week post op!) my swelling is going down slowly but surely! even though i'm only a couple weeks out, i'm still very pleased with the results (i got the bridge shaved, the sides slimmed, and cartilage added to the tip (he uses donor cartilage)). Overall, i can't recommend him enough, especially for asian clients. :)

So I scheduled my appointment with Maritza who first off is amazing and very helpful with my needs. I had botox done and lip injections. It was as painless as possible and the staff made me feel very comfortable. I am coming back for a touch up. I highly recommend. Will post pics after my next appointment before and after.

I had 3 surgeries done with Dr. David Kahng. My health journey started when I decided to change my life 6 years ago and live healthier. I have change my mind to live happier and peaceful which has ultimately affected my physique, I had lost the volume of my breast and had a lot of loose skin on my stomach. I decided to get treatment to complete my transformation. The first thing that I would like to talk about is the vibe of the office, everybody was very sweet and professional. I would like to give a shout out to Maritza that helped me through the consultation process and Vanessa the beautiful nurse that helped me with my pre op and post op. Even after my procedure they were standing by through my healing process. Dr. Kahng did a wonderful job on my Breast, tummy tuck and my nose! I highly recommend anybody that would like to enhance their body. Thank you Dr. Kahng and all the beautiful team

I recently got filler and botox from Cara plastic surgery and I'm in love with the result! I would highly recommend this place for their great service. Julie was super helpful and gave great recommendation during the consultation. Alice did an exceptional job which made everything look so natural and touched every part I mentioned. Would definitely be revisiting for touch up.

I was kind of nervous coming here but came in on my friends recommendation and I think I've found my go to spot for all things beauty! The waiting room is clean and I didn't have to wait long at all (maybe 10-15 min). My consultant, Julie, was super helpful/insightful and made sure to answer every one of my billion questions (I brought a list). I especially appreciated that she didn't just try to sell me every package that they had and even talked me out of things that I thought I needed. My nurse's name was Alice (I think) and she was just as amazing. I was really nervous at first but she was able to calm me down by explaining everything. I got the skin booster treatment and Botox. It's only been a week and I can already see the results!

I'm always super satisfied with the outcome with the botox and filler work here. Alice makes sure everything looks natural and suited to your face. I can't say enough about Julie! She's always so nice and friendly when I'm there! She's very accommodating and gives great recommendations :)

I found Dr. David Kahng through a friend who had a lot of positive words to say about him. I was tempted to get rhinoplasty for over a decade. I flu from New York for consultation and after having the meeting I was more at ease. Dr. Kahng did an amazing job during my consultation answering every question and I left. He explained in detail what he can do and I showed what I want my new nose to look like. It has been only two months and I can definitely see that he's done a great job and he did exactly as promised and I'm very happy with the result. Given it will look even better few months down the road. His team of nurses were very attentive and helpful at every step. The medical facility is very clean and a professional environment. The recovery was short for me and painless. All my questions and concerns were answered in a timely fashion, I was never rushed at any time and my results are amazing. I'm glad I made the trek to Los Angeles and very happy when I look in the mirror. I'm very thankful to Dr. Kahng and I hope he helps more women/men to feel and look even more confident. I was extremely satisfied with the professionalism of the staff. Dr. Kahng is an exceptional surgeon whom I would highly recommend to anyone!

Great service and friendly attitude from the front desk to the nurse who helped me. Second time coming here for botox, and didn't feel pressured to get more than I wanted. Suggestions were made, but my decision was respected and followed through. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend this clinic for your cosmetic needs! It's super clean. I've had a different nurse both times, and both were nice. Vanessa and Alice.

I always wanted to get a rhinoplasty ever since I was young, and I finally got it done with Dr. Kahng. He was already known from Korean community in Los Angeles that he is good at rhinoplasty, so I trusted him already. After a consultation with him, I trusted him more and now I'm happy with my new look. I only regret that I didn't get it done sooner! Every staff was super friendly and welcoming also. Thank you all!

I have been coming to CARA center since Early June and I have to say that it has been a game changer for my skin. My skin has significantly improved, my face is more toned, my skin is hydrated, my skin is glowing, my hyperpigmentation has decreased. I had a series of Miin lasers and facials and rejuran injection. Before my treatments I was experiencing severe dryness and dullness but these treatments have significantly helped. CARA staff, Vee, nurse Umi, nurse Alice, nurse heather & the aesthetician have been extremely professional and experts. Believe me when I say I have severe trust issues when it comes to trusting places/people especially to treat my face. But this place was highly recommend and they have really exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them.

Today was my first time ever trying fillers and Botox. The Nurse practitioner went over all my options and prices. I didn't feel rushed or pushed in any direction. She did a wonderful job and set me at ease by asking how I was doing several times. It didn't hurt and I love what she did. I'm not overdone. I feel great!

I want to be as transparent as I could with everyone so I'm updating my review as the time goes on. This is my 6 months post operation. I never regret one thing about my rhinoplasty, I just wish I would have done it sooner. I got so many compliments on my nose as I refer them to Doctor. As a girl, being pretty is something we all want. When we look good, we feel good. The new look I have completely change my self-esteem. I became so much more confident and love myself even more. Thank you Doctor and the wonderful team for helping me achieving my beauty goal.

I recent have my Rhinoplasty here with Doctor Kahng... I love my new nose each n every day since I did it over one month ago... I'm glad I found the best doctor who is very very extreme gentle and I got so many compliments from friends, coworkers & relative that my new nose look extreme natural, and also it helps my face look longer and less rounded... best thing is that I love the result which I did not expect it...Also, thumb up to miss Julie, she keep checking on me after the surgery to make sure everything went well...in near future, if I have any other plans for cosmetic improvements, I would definitely choose doctor Kahng...

Hi here's an update on fully healed eyelids! My right eye is naturally smaller than my left eye and has more skin/fat on the lid, so after the surgery, the asymmetry is still present. I feel like suture method isn't as good as the surgical method at correcting asymmetry, but who knows. But I'm loving the results, it's been two years post op and I love how they've healed! It's exactly what I wanted. I didn't want a big lid, I wanted a natural lid to maintain the mono lid look a little bit. This is what I told Dr. kahng and I think he did great to honor my preference. Be sure to tell him what you want!!

I got my rhinoplasty done here about a month ago and I am in love with the result. My original nose is short and I don't have much of the bridge. Now looking at my new nose I fall in love with it every single day. My doctor was very kind, I barely had any bruises and minimal pain. He constantly schedule me for a check up to see how I'm doing with my nose. All the staffs are friendly and informative , and I highly recommend this place

I just had my TT last week and could not be happier. I know I have a long road ahead before I see the true results but I can already tell it's going to look amazing. Dr Kahng is awesome. He has the best beside manner I have seen in any doctor for what seems to have been forever. I would give him 10 Stars if I could. Thank you Dr!!!!

I did my double eyelid with Dr. David Kahng. He is a very professional and skillful doctor. He suggest me not to follow the populace aesthetic but design the eyelid depending my eye shape. The eyelids came out very natural and all of my friend thought I am born with the double eyelids! The eyelids recovers well without any further concern!

I've been wanting a rhinoplasty for several years now and finally decided to go through with it! I called 8 different plastic surgery centers between LA, OC, and SD. I had the best first impression over a phone consult with Julie at CARA, which led me to booking an in-person consult with the doctor. I had phone/virtual consults with other doctors/surgery centers that just spat out pricing info without wanting to get to know me and what my desires were, which was concerning to me. The entire staff here has been so friendly and helpful, I also appreciate how Julie emails me back quickly whenever I have questions. My surgery date is booked for later this month and I couldn't be more excited! Julie has really made this so easy for me, I'd recommend anyone give them a call if you're interested in one of their procedures!

Although there are many inconvenience factors due to the recent epidemic, the technology of this store is definitely recognized. The main thing is that their customer service staff are very polite and will be very patient to introduce things to you. The effect after finishing it is very good.
