Dr. Kim is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who specializes in microsurgery. Microsurgery is often used in complex reconstructions following trauma or cancer-related surgeries. It involves the use of specialized operating microscopes and precision instrumentation to repair blood vessels and nerves less than a few millimeters in diameter.

Dr. Kim has a special interest in autologous “free flap” breast reconstruction. This procedure uses tissue from another area of the body (such as the ‘tummy fat’), rather than an implant/prosthetic device, to reconstruct the breast’s form after mastectomy (breast removal surgery) is performed for cancer.
