Sagging brows occur when the forehead and brow tissues descend with age, creating heaviness over the upper eyelids and deepening forehead lines.

Brow descent is a normal part of facial aging accelerated by sun damage and gravity. It can make patients appear angry, tired, or aged.

Dr. Kim personally performs endoscopic brow lift through small hidden incisions in the hairline to reposition the brow and smooth the forehead. For lighter cases, non-surgical Botox or device-based skin tightening through Dr. Kim's practice may be appropriate.

An aging face presents with descending tissues, deepening folds, loss of volume in the cheeks and temples, and skin laxity along the jawline and neck.

Facial aging is multifactorial: bone resorption, fat compartment shifts, soft tissue descent, and skin quality changes all contribute. No single procedure addresses every layer.

Dr. Kim personally performs facelift surgery (including deep plane techniques when indicated) to reposition descended tissues, often combined with fat transfer for volume restoration. Adjunct device-based skin tightening through Dr. Kim's practice may complete the result.

A double chin, or submental fullness, refers to the accumulation of fat beneath the jawline that obscures the natural chin-to-neck angle.

Submental fat is often genetic and resistant to weight loss. Skin laxity and loss of platysmal muscle tone can compound the appearance with age.

Dr. Kim's practice offers Kybella injections to dissolve submental fat without surgery. For patients with significant fat or laxity, Dr. Kim personally performs liposuction or facelift surgery to restore a defined jawline.

Loose facial skin presents as mild to moderate laxity along the cheeks, jawline, and neck. It is too early or too mild for surgical facelift but no longer responds to skincare alone.

Skin laxity develops with collagen and elastin loss over time. Patients in their 30s through 50s often seek non-surgical tightening before considering surgery.

Dr. Kim's practice offers Ultherapy, Thermage FLX, Sofwave, and Oligio X, each targeting different tissue depths with ultrasound or radiofrequency to stimulate collagen remodeling.

Some patients notice an initial effect soon after Ultherapy, but the most significant lifting and tightening develops gradually over 2 to 3 months as new collagen forms. Results can continue to improve for up to six months. Dr. Kim's practice tracks your progress toward your skin goals.

Ultherapy requires essentially no downtime; most patients return to normal activities immediately, with any mild redness or swelling resolving quickly. The skin then continues to firm gradually over the following months. Dr. Kim's team provides simple aftercare guidance for the best results.

An Ultherapy session typically takes 30 to 90 minutes depending on the areas treated, and is performed in a single office visit. There is no recovery period afterward. Dr. Kim's practice will give you a precise time estimate based on your treatment plan.

Most patients tolerate Ultherapy well, feeling brief sensations of heat or tingling as the ultrasound energy is delivered, which indicates collagen stimulation is occurring. Comfort measures are available to ease the experience. Dr. Kim's team prioritizes your comfort throughout the session.

Ultherapy is commonly used to lift the brow, tighten the neck and under-chin area, and smooth lines on the décolletage. It is ideal for mild to moderate laxity in these zones. Dr. Kim's practice assesses your skin to target the areas where Ultherapy will be most effective.

Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin's surface to precise depths, heating the tissue and triggering the body's natural collagen-building response. Over the following months, this firms and lifts the skin from within. The result is a gradual, natural-looking tightening effect.

Ultherapy is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin on the face, neck, and brow by stimulating deep collagen production. It targets the same foundational layer addressed in surgery, without incisions or downtime. Dr. Kim's practice offers Ultherapy for natural, gradual skin lifting in Los Angeles.
