Advanced Institute for Plastic Surgery

I always say do your research first, Dr. Kim was among many of the doctors that I saw before selecting her and here is why.
Get a feel for the staff, the timing, the accountability that they hold you too and that you hold them too. Often times online you read about how friendly everyone is and so on. that is great, I love a friendly office and doctor, but what I always want to know is how the process went.
The staff is attentive: They are informative, provide options, are available to answer your questions in an upfront caring manner. They facilitate your needs, doctors notes, coordinating schedules all in a timely manner.
Dr. Kim is outstanding, she tells you like it is and recognizes the needs/​wants of her clients, she confirms and reconfirms that you are on the same page every step of the way. Her attention to detail is amazing, she spends the time to make sure everything is perfect.
I am 16 days post-​op from a full tummy tuck and couldn’t be any happier with my entire experience with Dr. Kim and her staff.

I was recommended from a friend to see Dr. W I must say I couldn’t be happier with my breast augmentation. The staff is was very helpful and kind. Same with Dr. W couldn’t be nicer. Highly recommend Dr. W He’s the best! You won’t be sorry!

I was recommended to go to Dr. Kim from my general practitioner. I also went to several other offices in the Inland Empire area. My other appointments lasted at most 20 minutes and had a low cost. I had severe asymmetry and knew that my condition was not as easy as the other offices were painting it. My appointment at AI was so personal, Dr. Kim sat with me and described in detail all of the possibilities of my outcome, set realistic expectations, and recommended I go home and think about if I wanted to proceed with surgery. After confirming, Dr. Kim remained supportive and personable. The day of my surgery she met with me to calm my nerves and called me a few hours after the surgery to tell me how it went and to check in with how I was doing and had only encouraging things to say.
I honestly cannot even express how amazing my results turned out and how happy I am that I went with Dr. Kim. My pre-​ops and post-​ops are uplifting, encouraging, and personable. my results are incredible and I now have the confidence I always wanted and the closest thing to perfect symmetry that I could have ever asked for and more!

I had a breast augmentation by Dr. W and couldn’t be happier. I originally had a breast removal and lift from Dr Newman but decided to go with Dr. Wongworawat and couldn’t be happier. I haven’t even had my follow-​up yet but can see the amazing results. He didn’t push me into anything I didn’t want. He was so honest and listened to all my concerns. I did feel better that his surgery place was was a center, not his office/​building. All his staff was wonderful and pleasant to speak to. Thank you so much to Dr. W and all his and all his staff!

I went to so many consultations and seen dr W three times and I just knew he was the one. I got a full tummy tuck and I’m so pleased just after a week. It’s looks amazing! I would definitely recommend him to everyone I know. He is the best for his work and just how he is with you personally. Thank you Dr W

All you guys here at A-​1 are a blessing in so many ways. Thank you for your constant care and compassion along with privacy and professionalism! You were are highly recommended to me and I do highly recommend this place to others! Dr Kim and Dr. W are truly this valleys best of surgeons. I say this with much experience living in it for the past 28 years! So again I say THANK YOU!

Do not go here! If I could give them negative stars I would! Dr. Kim is not as great as I thought she would be. She could have urged me to make the right decision but instead helped me make the wrong one. They tell you it takes a year for you surgery to settle but no, it takes a year for the statue of limitations to be up so you can no longer take action on your botched surgeries! Be careful what you tell her whether it’s about your perfectionism, uncertainty, or anxieties because she will use it against you. I had anxiety on the operating table and I had the anesthesiologist tell me not to worry because he was about to give me Michael Jackson’s favorite drug after he overdosed on it!!! Then I was out. She will try to manipulate you into being happy with your surgery even though you are not and also asks you to post a review before your results are even «settled». She will also try to get you to come back in to fix the surgery that she botched in the first place! I could go on and on about the unprofessional-​ism that I received throughout the whole office and experience! If your year isn’t up take action! Get your justice because you deserve it!

I just have to start out by saying Dr. Kim is AMAZING and she truly is a perfectionist! After many consultations with plastic surgeons from La Jolla, Riverside etc. I knew Dr. Kim would be my plastic surgeon just minutes after meeting her. She made me feel so comfortable. She took her time to explain the procedure in detail and answered all of my questions. I am now 5 weeks post op and could not be more thrilled with my results. They look better than I could have ever imagined. Dr. Kim took her time and paid attention to every detail. She was very meticulous and scarring is minimal. I had a concern at 1 week post op and she even met me in her office after hours to address my concern and put my mind at ease. I just cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kim and her staff. No need to drive hours for plastic surgery when Dr. Kim is right here in Temecula! I highly recommend her :) I will be returning for other procedures in the future. Thanks again Dr. Kim and everyone at Advanced Institute Plastic Surgery

If I could give more stars, I definitely would!!! I have had the best experience with Dr. Kim and her team at Advanced!!! I had been considering getting a tummy tuck for many moons (ever since my last child was born who is now 17 lol). I always came up with an excuse not to get it done until I made an appt with Dr. Kim. After having a number of consultations with prominent and popular surgeons in and around the SoCal area, my very first appointment with Dr. Kim was the last piece to the puzzle! I was in surgery less than a week later and on Christmas Eve at that… I mention those details to point to how concerned and involved Dr. Kim is about her patients wants, needs, and results. Not only did she understand my desires to a tee, she provided me with a result that to this day (I’m a little over 6 wks post op), I can not believe! Her attention to detail, bedside manner, and humor are out if this world and I truly want to thank her and her team for tweaking the physical which sparked a huge transition in my mental and emotional well-​being! Thank you;)

My experience with Dr. Kim was amazing! If I could give 10 stars I would. She and her staff were very welcoming and caring! Dr. Kim was very patient with me. On my pre op appointment she answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. I decided to have the surgery and am really glad I did! I had my post op appointment the day after surgery and could not believe my results! She makes sure she gives you the most mineable scar she can. And mine looked great! (This was just the next day!!) She kept in touch with me during my recovery time. She herself would call and make sure I was doing ok and see if I had any questions. It’s now been 8 weeks and I can’t believe my results! I’m so happy I chose Advanced Surgery Institute! Thank you so much Dr. Kim I will forever be grateful!

Dr. Kim is amazing! She listened to all of my concerns and answered all questions. Recovery was easy and I loved the results! Thanks Dr. Kim!

I just had a breast augmentation last Tuesday and I am so happy with the results! Even though its only been a little over a week since the surgery, I already love how they look! I had Dr. W and he was very professional and really cares about you and wanting to do a good job. He made me feel very comfortable with my size decision because I nervous about choosing a bad size, but with his help I am so happy with the size I went with! He is amazing! Amy was also so helpful, informative and really made me feel comfortable every step of the way. They go above and beyond at this office and if you are looking for a fantastic local plastic surgeon, I would definitely recommend AI !

Dr Kim and her staff are amazing! From start to finish they answered every question, and I got AMAZING results! I couldn’t be happier, and I would recommend AI to everyone!

Dr. W is amazing! Had breast augmentation done about 8 weeks ago and couldn’t be happier with the results. Everyone in the office is extremely helpful and nice. Dr. W goes above and beyond. Will definitely be going back for a TT.

Dr. Kim is amazing I went to see her for a breast augmentation back in june and I’m ecstatic with my results. She was detailed about what to expect, I let her know what my expectations and what I would like to achieve, she exceeded every single one. I can not express to everyone how much I trust her and would recommend her over and over. Also I would love to add that the women that run her office are very friendly highly knowledgeable and make you feel very comfortable. Thank you Dr kim I can not express how thankful I am.

Worst decision I’ve made! I did the research checked all her reviews, she seemed like she was the right Dr. I actually really felt comfortable with her and liked her, she seemed very professional at first. Surgery went well but when the swelling started to go down and I asked why my breast were not full and perky as I asked for when we talked about my expectations, she said I chose small implants!!! I had big breast to begin so she said I needed a lift, I agreed even though I feared the scars, as long as I had full perky breast I agreed to the lift, now I have scars and half filled breast that when I lay on my back all I feel is the scar tissue from the lift and my implants fall to my arm pits!!! She had the nerve to say it was my fault and refused to do anything about it! I planned on suing her but I will just let karma at her!!! She even had the nerve to tell me if I wanted hard boobs she could of put metal in there!!! I never even went back to my lady appointments as she refused to do anything about it and said «at this point, I would not do anything for you because you will never be happy» it’s all about the money with her!!! She is the professional here, not me, she new what I wanted yet she kept on saying that big breast cause back problems why would I want that! I have a witness to all this as my husband was with me through all this and was also very upset! I now have empty saggy breast with scars, thank you Dr Kim!!!

I had a breast augmentation and lift with Dr Kim, and I couldn’t be happier! She does PERFECT work and My confidence has sky rocketed

Love Dr. W!
TT without any complications, scar healing great, flat and no issues. Excellent bedside manner, even called over Easter weekend to give me his cell with any concerns/​questions. His office staff — Lisa, Jen, Vicki are great! Excellent customer service and great personalities!

I had a breast augmentation done about a month ago now and could not be happier with my experience and how they have turned out! Dr. Wongworawat was amazing and very patient with all my questions and concerns. I went under the muscle beneath the fold and my scars are already healing amazing! They look super super natural and feel as natural as I could imagine having implants could. I have nothing but awesome things to say about him and everyone at this office! Lisa was also so amazing and helpful. I would highly highly recommend this place and definitely tell all my friends who are thinking of having this done!

This stay at home mom needed a little bit of personal confidence after breastfeeding two wonderful children for nearly 4 years altogether. The moment I walked in to Dr. W’s office his staff and Dr. W made me feel right at home just then I knew this was the place to get the look I wanted. Dr. W was very attentive to my wants and very informative. The procedure went smoothly and now I am enjoying the body I have always wanted.
