“I’ve been coming to Cara Plastic Surgery for years, and I’ve always had a great experience! I recently had Botox and cheek filler done with Heather, who was new to me, and she was amazing. She took the time to ask what I wanted, listened to my concerns, and made sure we were on the same page. The results honestly exceeded my expectations! Everything looks natural, refreshed, and exactly what I was hoping for. The service has always been great, but Heather really stood out. Definitely recommend!”
“I’ve been coming to Dr. Kahng for years and have always had a great experience. He’s very honest and thorough, and I never feel rushed when I see him. Everyone at the office is always really nice and welcoming too. I’m usually pretty skeptical about med spas because you don’t always know what products they’re using or what you’re actually getting. That’s one of the reasons I keep coming back to Cara. I trust Dr. Kahng and feel comfortable getting my treatments here. I drive over an hour to get here, so that probably says a lot lol. I bought a Shurink treatment when they were running a promotion and finally got it done today. The nurse was great and really took her time with me. My skin already feels a little tighter, so I’m excited to see how it looks over the next few weeks. Definitely worth the drive for me. I’ll keep coming back!”
“I had such a positive experience at Cara Plastic Surgery! I recently had the Potenza microneedling treatment done to help with my acne scars, and I’m so happy I decided to do it. Everyone was so welcoming, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The treatment was explained thoroughly, and I felt like I was in great hands from start to finish. I’m really happy with my experience and the results so far, and I’m excited to continue seeing improvements in my skin. I would absolutely recommend Cara Plastic Surgery and the Potenza treatment to anyone looking to improve the appearance and texture of their skin, especially if you’re dealing with acne scars. Such a great experience overall!”
“I had a wonderful experience at CARA Plastic Surgery from start to finish. The staff was warm, welcoming, and professional, making me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Dr. David Kahng took the time to answer all of my questions and explained everything clearly, which gave me confidence in my decision.”
“I had always wanted to get breast augmentation, but I was hesitant for a long time. I consulted with a few doctors before finally deciding to move forward with Dr. Kahng. From the beginning, he was very gentle and honest when explaining the procedure, which made me feel comfortable. What gave me the most confidence was seeing my friend’s beautiful results from surgery with him — that’s when I knew I could trust his skills. Not only am I very happy with my surgical outcome, but I’ve also been extremely pleased with the aftercare from Dr. Kahng and the entire staff. They have been supportive and attentive throughout the whole process. I just completed my 6-month post-op visit and couldn’t be happier with my results. It feels great to finally check this off my wish list!”
