Services
Breast Augmentation
Our breast augmentation procedure enhances breast size and shape through implant placement. This surgical option addresses volume loss, asymmetry, or congenital concerns while maintaining natural proportions. Patients benefit from customized implant selection and meticulous surgical technique that prioritizes both aesthetic outcomes and long-term comfort.
Botox Injections
Botox treatments temporarily reduce dynamic wrinkles through targeted muscle relaxation. This non-surgical solution addresses forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines while maintaining natural facial expressions. Our approach focuses on subtle enhancement rather than frozen appearances, preserving individual expression patterns.
Breast Reduction
This procedure alleviates physical discomfort from oversized breasts while improving proportion. Our technique minimizes scarring through advanced incision placement while preserving nipple sensation and breast function. Patients experience improved mobility and clothing fit alongside enhanced self-confidence.
Weight Loss Injections
Our medical weight loss program utilizes prescription injectables to support sustainable weight management. Combined with nutritional guidance, these treatments address metabolic factors affecting weight regulation. Patients receive personalized monitoring to ensure safe, effective results aligned with overall wellness goals.
Skincare Products
Dr. Koo's proprietary skincare line addresses aging, texture, and tone concerns through evidence-based formulations. Products incorporate retinols, hyaluronic acid, and pH-optimized ingredients to support skin health. Our regimen balances medical efficacy with user-friendly application for daily maintenance between professional treatments.

Absolutely fantastic. I could not be happier with my results. Dr. Koo and her staff are affirming, kind, and understanding. The fact that she doesn't take insurance might be a deterrent for people, but if you can afford her services, her talent is well worth the price.

Dr. Koo and staff were very professional throughout the entire process. Dr. Koo listened to my requests and was extremely accommodating. She gave me exactly what I was hoping for. I couldn't be happier with the outcome or care I received from start to finish!

Report
6 months ago I came in to have a ruptured implant removed and a lift. I wanted a much smaller breasts and didn't want new implants. Dr.koo said it was best if I got a replacement, never mentioning to me that I was at higher risk for capsular contracture. So now, my implants are rock-hard, my breasts are not any smaller than before, and I have lots of scars. I wish I would have never spent the money. The good part of the experience has been Dr. Koo herself. So kind and empathetic
