Dr. Kim advises his patients that if it is the contour that patients are unhappy with, in other words, the shape of certain areas on their body then the issue is not weight loss. For these patients especially if they are at, or close to their ideal body weight, liposuction is an excellent solution. Using artistic skill and surgical expertise, Dr. Kim is able to contour most any part of the body for a more aesthetically pleasing shape. This includes areas such as the upper abdomen, upper back, and hips. These areas are virtually impossible to improve with weight loss.
