Natural Face Clinic's Rochester office is located at the historic Oliver Culver House, 70 East Boulevard — Rochester's oldest residential structure, built in 1805. It's where Rochester-area patients meet Dr. Kim in person for a hands-on consultation and return for long-term follow-up. The surgery itself and its recovery take place in Syracuse, at a dedicated guest house built for exactly this purpose.
Our Rochester office, at the historic Oliver Culver House — the city's oldest residential structure, built in 1805 — offers the same expertise and natural-looking results our Syracuse patients have trusted for years, closer to home for patients across Rochester, the Finger Lakes, Canandaigua, Victor, and Pittsford.
The same logic that applies to out-of-town patients broadly applies here: distance from daily routines and obligations allows a recovery period focused entirely on healing.
The Syracuse guest house offers a private, restful space during the 7–14 day recovery window, purpose-built rather than a hotel room.
Initial consultation happens in person in Rochester, with a genuine hands-on assessment, and long-term follow-up through the first year also happens in Rochester. If a concern comes up after returning home, it's addressed at the next in-person Rochester visit — not by video call, and not by requiring a trip back to Syracuse.
Full nonsurgical scope: injectables and fillers, laser skin resurfacing, hair restoration consultation, nonsurgical rhinoplasty, and all pre- and post-operative follow-up care for Rochester, Finger Lakes, Canandaigua, Victor, and Pittsford patients. Surgical procedures themselves take place only in Syracuse.

Travel and lodging coordination for surgery in Syracuse is handled directly by the practice's staff, mentioned lightly rather than framed as a luxury perk.
The Rochester office opened in 2017, at the Oliver Culver House, after Dr. Kim began seeing a growing number of patients from Rochester and western New York at his Syracuse practice.
As the Rochester practice grows, room exists for the office to expand toward full surgical status, potentially with an associate or partner surgeon joining — noted here as a direction, not a current offering.
Every surgical procedure takes place at the practice's AAAHC-accredited surgical suite in Syracuse. The Rochester office, at the Oliver Culver House, is dedicated to in-person consultation and long-term follow-up.

Yes — this is a stated differentiator, not a caveat. Follow-up through the first year after surgery happens in person in Rochester, not by video call and not by requiring a trip back to Syracuse.
"At 63 years old having a facelift and necklift surgery was a huge decision to make. Dr. Kim was very professional and explained everything in detail. I felt very comfortable there."
"I went to four other doctors for consultation and chose Dr. Kim. Dr. Kim focused on my concerns and did not look for other issues to correct. I didn't feel like he was out to make money."
"I broke my nose 11 years ago and haven't been able to breathe well since. I'm 2 months post-op with Dr. Kim and my breathing has changed completely. My nose looks natural, with little to no scarring."
The surgical home of the practice is in Syracuse. NYC-area patients are served through the Manhattan / Sutton Place consultation office.
