I got a chemical peel off Groupon and decided to get botox in my masseters and lip fillers there too cause I always wanted to try it and my godddddd! I feel even more beautiful than I already was before going in. First time meeting him and he made me feel so comfortable, we were chatting like we’ve known each other before and that’s rare for me and medical personnel because they’re usually so uptight or they make me feel like they’re rushing me out the door. My lips are soooo nice! My friends loved the results from my lip fillers and they’re willing to travel from NYC to Stamford just to get lip fillers done by him too! Mind you college students do NOT want to spend money on a $30 train ticket let alone lip fillers but when it’s great results they’ll do anything (; my skin is currently peeling but so far I can tell I’m going to see good results and I’m waiting a few more days to see results from the botox injections but I already trust in his work cause these lips are soooo sexy. I’m sticking with Dr. Kim for all my facial beauty needs not only cause I look even better, but because he’s so down to earth and I felt soooo comfortable just talking to him. You want to feel comfortable with the person who is in charge of enhancing your beauty or could potentially make it worse ESPECIALLY ON YOUR FACE and he just made me look extra beautiful. Thanks Dr.Kim I’ll see you again soon! read lessL'oréal N

The Surgeon that Does Tummy Tucks Right!
Self-image is strongly influenced by your physical appearance. There is a desire among many women and men to have a flat, well-defined midsection. In addition to eating well and exercising, a healthy lifestyle isn’t always enough for achieving an attractive silhouette. It is impossible to eliminate stubborn belly fat, loose skin, or weak abdominal muscles with diet and exercise; but a tummy tuck can fix all of those problems.
A tummy tuck could be the ideal solution for you if you wish for a more attractive midsection. Many patients in Westport, CT have benefitted from stomach plastic surgery performed by Dr. CS Kim, one of the top tummy tuck doctors in Fairfield County. To find out what the board-certified tummy tuck surgeon at Dr. CS Kim Plastic Surgery can do for you during a full or mini tummy tuck near me, contact us today.
Tummy tucks: what are they?
In cosmetic plastic surgery, a tummy tuck is also known as an abdominoplasty. In order to enhance the appearance of the midsection, the stomach must be flattened and defined, the skin smoothed, and the stomach skin smoothed. A weakened abdominal wall muscle is repaired and loose skin and fatty tissue are removed during the procedure.
A tummy tuck can be performed in two ways:
- Complete tummy tuck. In a full tummy tuck or complete abdominoplasty, both the upper and lower abdomen are corrected. Abdominal muscles are tightened and excess skin and fatty tissue are removed. Having a full tummy tuck may be a good option if you have skin and fat rolling up over your pants when you bend over (a “muffin top”).
· The mini tummy tuck. The lower portion of the abdomen is treated with a mini tummy tuck or partial abdominoplasty. Mini-tummy tucks retain the benefits of a full abdominoplasty, though they treat only the area beneath the belly button rather than the entire abdomen. You should consider this procedure if you have a “mom pooch”. The recovery time is faster and less invasive than a full abdominoplasty.
Following a tummy tuck
The recovery room will be your first stop after surgery, where your condition will be monitored and you will be kept comfortable until the anesthesia completely wears off.
As soon as you return home from surgery, your doctor will assess the surgery site and give you instructions on how to take care of yourself. The first night and first full day after surgery, make sure you have someone with you to drive you home and remain with you.
In order to minimize discomfort, you may want to sit or sleep upright once you are at home. Any pain you experience will be relieved by medications prescribed by your doctor. In addition to applying ice packs to the site, you can also reduce discomfort and prevent swelling by doing so. Regularly monitor the incision site for any unusual discharge or any other problems. If you encounter any, contact your surgeon immediately.
As long as you are not fully recovered, you should refrain from strenuous activities and heavy lifting. A complete recovery takes about 3 weeks for most people; however, it may take longer for some people. Depending on their occupation, most people are able to return to work within a week.
Final Results
Your midsection will be flatter, smoother, and more attractive once you have fully recovered from a tummy tuck. Similarly, if you suffered from back pain, poor posture, or SUI prior to surgery, these conditions may have improved. In addition to feeling good, you will also gain a lot of self-confidence from looking good.

The earliest known inhabitants of the Westport area as identified through archaeological finds date back 7,500 years. Records from the first white settlers report the Pequot Indians living in the area which they called Machamux translated by the colonialists as beautiful land. Settlement by colonialists dates back to the five Bankside Farmers; whose families grew and prospered into a community that continued expanding. The settlers arrived in 1693, having followed cattle to the isolated area. The community had its own ecclesiastical society, supported by independent civil and religious elements, enabling it to be independent from the Town of Fairfield. As the settlement expanded its name changed: it was briefly known as “Bankside” in 1693, officially named Green’s Farm in 1732 in honor of Bankside Farmer John Green and in 1835 incorporated as the Town of Westport.
Minutemen Statue on Compo BeachDuring the Revolutionary War, on April 25, 1777, a British force of 1,850 under the command of the Royal Governor of the Province of New York, Major General William Tryon, landed on Compo Beach to destroy the Continental Army’s military supplies in Danbury. Minutemen from Westport and the surrounding areas crouched hiding while Tryon’s troops passed and then launched an offensive from their rear. A statue on Compo Beach commemorates this plan of attack with a crouching Minuteman facing away from the beach, looking onto what would have been the rear of the troops. A sign on Post Road East also commemorates this event.
The Town of Westport was officially incorporated on May 28, 1835, with lands from Fairfield, Weston and Norwalk. Daniel Nash led 130 people of Westport in the petitioning of the Town of Fairfield for Westport’s incorporation. The driving force behind the petition was to assist their seaport’s economic viability that was being undermined by neighboring towns’ seaports. For several decades after that, Westport was a prosperous agricultural community, distinguishing itself as the leading onion-growing center in the U.S. Blight caused the collapse of Westport’s onion industry, leading to mills and factories replacing agriculture as the town’s economic engine.
