Services
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty refines nasal shape, size, and symmetry while addressing breathing issues. Dr. Kahng uses advanced techniques to create balanced results that complement facial features. Patients seek improved profile aesthetics, reduced bumps, or enhanced nasal function. The procedure combines surgical precision with artistic vision for natural outcomes.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances size and shape using silicone or saline implants. Dr. Kahng customizes incision placement and implant selection to meet individual goals. Patients achieve proportionate curves while maintaining natural movement and texture. The procedure addresses volume loss or developmental asymmetry with long-lasting results.
Facelift
Facelifts restore youthful contours by tightening skin and underlying tissues. Dr. Kahng's technique smooths wrinkles while preserving natural expression. Patients experience lifted cheeks, defined jawlines, and reduced neck laxity. Results maintain facial harmony through careful tissue repositioning and minimal scarring.
Botox Injections
Botox injections smooth dynamic wrinkles using precise muscle targeting. Our specialists maintain facial mobility while reducing lines around eyes and forehead. Treatments prevent new wrinkle formation while softening existing creases. Natural expression preservation distinguishes our approach from generic injection techniques.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits to enhance body proportions. Dr. Kahng uses tumescent techniques for smooth results and reduced recovery time. Common treatment areas include abdomen, thighs, and chin. The procedure complements healthy lifestyles by addressing genetically resistant fat pockets.

I am glad I went back to Cara after 7 years. I recently decided to try Cara again for a laser treatment. The procedure is called Meen ( not sure how to spell). Nurse Angela changed my perspective about Cara. She was so attentive and considerate about my concerns and she took great care to address my concern areas. I knew from my first meeting with Nurse Angela that I was under a good care. I always look forward to my treatment session with her. After 5 sessions, my pores are smaller and my skin is brighter. If there are any areas for improvement for Cara, I would like to mention that the skin

She was kind a took her time was sensitive to my pain while being injected. 5 stars

I've been wanting a rhinoplasty for several years now and finally decided to go through with it! I called 8 different plastic surgery centers between LA, OC, and SD. I had the best first impression over a phone consult with Julie at CARA, which led me to booking an in-person consult with the doctor. I had phone/virtual consults with other doctors/surgery centers that just spat out pricing info without wanting to get to know me and what my desires were, which was concerning to me. The entire staff here has been so friendly and helpful, I also appreciate how Julie emails me back quickly whenever
