Reviews of Edward S. Kwak MD - ESKMD Facial Plastic Surgery (Plastic Surgery)

sheridan ward

DO NOT trust this man with your face. (Dr Kwak is a surgeon but he is NOT an artist.) I'm very very unhappy with the result, I've been left with a crooked nose, deviated septum, uneven nostrils, a tip so high you can see up my nostrils and only able to breath out of one nostril and still have pain around the tip since surgery over 1 year ago.. His bedside manner is impeccable and his team are friendly, which makes you want to give him your money... But, once the surgery has been done and paid for, he'll refuse to fix any corrections Or mistakes he has made during surgery. (With my nose there is a lot) Really shocked and upset by the whole experience ... And have spent the last year feeling depressed when ever I look in the mirror. My nose looked better before he touched it... I only wanted more definition on my bridge, instead he decided to change the whole nose, making it crooked and the tip lifted so far up I can see up my nostrils. Very very unhappy, would not recommend him at all. *Save your money, do your research and find someone better that knows how to do their job properly.* He assured me during a many follow up appointments that if there were areas of concerns or need for improvement he would be happy to do so after 1year, I had been updating him on a monthly basis, as it was clear from day two after surgery the shape was not right and I wasn't happy.. He assured me as it healed it would look better. It did not. He then assured me any issues I wasn't happy with he would fix or improve after 1year as we spoke about the irregularities early on and we agreed there was room for improvement and discussed during the year healing process what could be done to amend these. *When I returned at 1year mark for the final consultation to discuss a plan to fix these imperfections, his demeanour changed he became aggressive and man handled my nose causing me to jump back in pain, he then point blank refused to do any touch ups (which he had previously agreed to) and instead suggested I go elsewhere **He had retaken a photo of me minutes beforehand of my nose from the side and asked me to follow him into his room a few minutes later... (I thought this was odd but I agreed) Then when he showed me the pre-surgery consultation picture we had agreed on a year ago, he had doctored it using photoshop minutes before to add my current crooked nose onto the the original image we had previously agreed then attempted to deceive me and make me believe that poor result I have it what I had agreed on!?!? I told him that was not the image we agreed on and nor was that the result I agreed on.. He insisted it was... I then pulled up the original pre-surgery picture we had agreed on my phone that he had sent me and showed him. He was speechless.. And in a panic he started closing down the images he had just doctored on his computer that he had attempt to trick me with... As he was doing this, the original image we had agreed on popped up! And I said 'there it is, that's what we agreed on Dr Kwak' he didn't know what to say... he then became agitated When I challenged him with the consultation image we had agreed on prior to surgery and how my nose now looked nothing like the image we had agreed on and paid for. **He calmly said "I changed my my mind during surgery"... "I decided the asthethic you wanted wasn't going to look good" ... I was so shocked and wasn't sure whether to cry to throw up... I asked him what the point of the consultation was, if he wasn't going to listen to the patient .. (He didn't answer) I left shortly afterwards in shock and upset, having been fooled and trusting Dr Kwak with my face. Its terrifying to think that he just went freestyle on my face while i was unconscious... makes me sick. I don't care about the cost as I would've paid him NOT to touch my face if I'd known. This surgeon should be struck off and stripped of his licence for what he has done and im sure it's not the first time and feel sorry for his other patients he may also have done this too. *DO NOT USE THIS SURGEON*

Joseph Alvarez

Excellent Doctor and Excellent staff.

Flora Kuo

I had Radiesse for my nose earlier this year, and Dr. Kwak really did a good job! He was patient and talent, he knew how to make my nose prettier. After then, my nose looks just like the way I want it to be and looks very natural. I love to see myself with the new nose in the mirror. I am very satisfied. Highly recommended!

Samantha Collins

Dr. Kwak is hands down the best surgeon! I had a rhinoplasty about two years ago. I had a big droopy nose that I hated. Through the years I consulted with several surgeons but never pulled the trigger. My consultation with dr Kwak’s I felt an instant connection. The recovery was alittle bumpy but Dr. Kwak took the time to hear and treat my concerns. He provided me the reassurance I needed. It took about a year for my tip to settle. Looking back getting my nose done was a process but I’m so happy my nose looks so good for the rest of my life!

I have been a patient of Dr.Kwak for 7yrs. He is very professional, genuine, and compassionate. I would recommend him to everyone without any hesitation. The office is immaculate, and the staff is extremely friendly and caring.

K Purcell

Dr. Kwak's revision rhinoplasty was a great experience. He provides informative, and constructive feedback regarding your procedure, and listens to your needs and customizes the best solution possible. His office is very clean and his staff is wonderful. I felt taken care of before and during my surgery and my follow up visits have been excellent.The procedure and recovery time was minimal and the results began to show very quickly. I would recommend to anyone looking for a revision rhino.

Selman Istar

I would highly recommend Dr. Kwak and his staff. The experience I had with my septoplasty I would rate as 5 stars. He was professional as a person and gentile as a surgeon. The recovery time was short and I didn't get black eyes from the procedure. His staff was also professional and his offices were very nicely located in the Upper East Side.

IL K

Dr. Edward Kwak is truly amazing! Currently 16 months post op Rhinoplasty and facelift. About 10 surgeons could not close a hole in my nose and did not want to operate me but only Dr. Kwak could do this. Thank you for saving my life!

Howie Dodat

Terrible experience i will never go back. Lisa and Sandra have poor customer service skills. Wouldn’t recommend this office to ANYONE. STAY AWAY FROM DR KWAK

Rosalind Cohen

Very positive feelings about Dr. Kwak. He is kind, easy to work with, good office staff and assistant. Was taken at appointment time

rosa quiroz

Amazing doctor! I had a revision rhinoplasty and my deviated septum fixed by Dr.Kwak almost a year ago. I had a horrible 1st rhinoplasty with another surgeon in NYC and was so unhappy with the results. I decided to do a lot of research and after visiting many doctors, I decided on Dr. Kwak. During the initial consultation, he was so patient with me and explained everything in detail about the possible outcomes and recovery. It would be a long road to get my breathing back to normal but it was a success! The surgery couldn't have gone more perfect and I love my new nose. So thankful that I found him. The staff was so tentative and warm, held my hand every step of the way. They did not make me feel uncomfortable for asking a million questions. Truly a great office. Thank you Dr. Kwak and staff for all your help. Highly recommended!!!

Altagracia Guzman

Dr. Kwak and his staff were very friendly and informative. I’ll definately go back.

J Blvck

Dr. Kwak was very efficient and informative. He explained each step for the details of what the surgery would entail during my consultation. Also, Stephanie was very quick in her replies and patiently helped sort out any confusion or questions I had.

BA BA

I don't write reviews often, but with the treatment my sister recieved from Dr. Kwak and his staff I feel obligated to write this. Dr. Kwak is one of a kind. His professionalism and expertise are unmatched. He answered all questions with patience and clarity. He alleviated all concerns with love and respect. He did the operation with care and percison. He is the epitome of a medical professional. I HIGHLY recommend him for any Rhinoplasty. His office is well designed with patient's comfort in mind; In and out of the OR in a serene environment, unlike the hustle and bustle of a hospital. Also, his staff are top notch. Appreciate the care, kindness and warm personalities of the nurses and receptionists.

Best New York revisión plastic Surgeon!!

jaclyn amato

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! I am currently still recovering from my recent septum surgery with Dr. Kwak and all I can say is how amazing him and his staff are ! I knew I was going to trust Dr Kwak with this surgery as soon as I left his office after the first consultation! I had a procedure done that most surgeons would never touch but Dr Kwak was experienced enough to do such a procedure ! He has honestly saved my life and my breathing will be better than ever ! And let me just add his medical assistant Christine is absolutely unbelievable! She really is so caring and makes you feel so welcomed ! I highly recommend Dr Kwak and his staff for any procedures you need done !

Isabel Garcia

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Kwak is understanding and makes an effort to deliver what you’re looking for without pushing for extra services or unrealistic standards. I highly recommend them.

Aurie Zeituny

Dr. Kwak did an amazing job performing a rhinoplasty. He is simply an artist! From our first consultation, he was very patient and took his time to go over the photos, explain the procedure and answer any concerns I had. Everyone on the staff was warm and professional. The results definitely exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend Dr. Kwak.

jung ran chung

Thrilled with my outcome! I had a HALO Laser treatmentfor aging spot, wrinkles and sun spots and a lower eyelid surgery for my baggy appearance. Thanks Dr Kwak. You are the best!

helen rios

Dr. Kwak was extremely gentle, kind and professional. He answered all my questions and I was not rushed. Excellent bedside manners, his staff was beyond friendly and courteous. I have been to his office twice in the last month and I also took my mother to him as well. Excellent results without any surgery. State of the art equipment as well!!

jane olson

Dr Kwak is a top reconstructive and cosmetic facial plastic surgeon who is an expert in rhinoplasty. I have had surgery in his AAAASF certified operating room and can attest to his fine care, attention to detail and finessed aesthetic sense. Additionally his staff is personable and efficient. His office and facility are top notch.

karen behrens

Dr. Kwak performed a septal perforation repair and reconstruction on me and the results were amazing! Not only that but he and his staff were very caring, warm and empathetic. Dr. Kwak was very thorough in explaining all aspects of the procedure and patiently answered every question I had. I would highly recommend Dr. Kwak to anyone who wants or needs any facial surgery. Excellent experience! Excellent surgeon!

S. A.

If I could give Dr. Kwak 10 stars, I would give him 20! I had lived with a deviated septum for 45 years! The whole right side of my face and nose drooped downwards. Breathing was always difficult, and cosmetically, well, I just looked weird. Whatever. I lived with it. It wasn't until I had a sinus lift for an upper molar implant that I needed to fix the deviated septum, as breathing became even more labored. At the same time, I wanted to correct the droopy look for cosmetic reasons. However, I didn't want to look like a totally different person. I wanted to look like me, but with a natural, better look. I never had any type of surgery; so, I was very nervous about everything from infection to deformity. Dr. Kwak was so professional, kind and reassuring. At end of my initial consultation, I felt very comfortable and confident that he was going to do a great job. And he did! I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!!! The droopiness was corrected, the tip and nostrils were symmetrical and balanced to fit the contours of my face. Because of his accuracy, the imbalance of my whole face was fixed. Yet, the change was natural and subtle. Not only is Dr. Kwak a superb surgeon, he is an artist. I couldn't be happier, and I love the outcome. AND! He was totally honest about what was needed and what wasn't. He didn't push this and that in addition to the rhinoplasty. He is a doctor with true integrity, which made me trust him more. The fact that he specializes in facial plastic surgery made me trust him even more. It reflects the level of expertise, instead of a cafeteria/buffet style of practice that does everything from rhinoplasty to breast augmentation, to liposuction to butt lifts and etc, etc. The final verdict? Perfect, perfect, perfect! As I age further, I am definitely going back to Dr. Kwak, as I am confident that he will make me look youthful, and not like the cat lady! UPDATE #1: I got a Botox treatment recently. Dr. Kwak told me that I didn't need it right now, but he was patient and kind and listened carefully to my concerns, why I wanted to get it, and what I was hoping to get out of it. Dr. Kwak is truly an artist and a great doctor. He is gentle, observant deliberate and takes great care about what he is doing. HE REALLY RESPECTS HIS PATIENT'S FACE. I watched so many YouTube videos when doing my research, and some of the doctors on the videos worked so fast, without planning. They were overly and inappropriately confident about their skills to the point where it seemed negligent. I was terrified about the idea of having needles being stuck in my face! However, Dr. Kwak's skills are so fantastic that I felt absolutely NO pain! Getting dental anesthesia is far more painful - honestly, I'm not exaggerating! No droopy eyes or Mr. Spock look. UPDATE #2!! As I got older, I really wanted to get rid of the laugh lines and bags under my eyes, but I was freaked out by watching YouTube videos. I sat down with Dr. Kwak, and he explained the different types of fillers, how it is administered, etc. He told me that I looked fine, and that I could hold off on it for a bit longer... but I wanted to do it. I just kept looking more and more tired and older. The more sleep I got, the more tired I looked. So, I got Restylane filler in my laugh lines on a Thursday. I was expecting a lot of pain, swelling, bruising and bleeding. It was not the case at all! In fact, I thought that it had even stung less than the Botox! When I got home, there was some swelling (no bruising at all) that went down significantly the NEXT day. So, on the next day, I went back and got fillers in my tear troughs. These are generally more painful than the laugh lines, but Dr Kwak was so gentle that all I felt was the discomfort of the initial sting, but that was it. There is obviously some swelling, but no bruising. I didn't need to ice it, or take any pain medications. Perfect! BTW, The staff! Simply amazing! Very professional, friendly and supportive. They make you feel at home, but not in a phony way. Very sincere.

Dr. Kwak and his office have incredible attention to detail and I am so happy with results from my surgery. Always a pleasant visit.

Michael Fredo

Dr. Kwak is known to be the best in his field and it shows. He’s a realistic perfectionist in the best sense of the words. I recommend him to any one considering improving themselves. -Mike Fredo

Amanda Nieves

Love Dr. kwak and his staff! Everyone is so pleasant and helpful. Super organized and on top of everything! Dr. Kwak really makes you feel comfortable before and during procedures. He has a keen eye for detail and knows exactly what he needs to do to address any issues you may be having. Loved my experience from booking to final result of my surgery. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

Alexis Nicole

Fantastic office and staff!

Grace Z

It is a true pleasure knowing Dr. Kwak and his wonderful staff. Every time I call or visit the office, I am greeted warmly and helped with patience. The assistants at Dr. Kwak’s office are all incredibly friendly, attentive, and most importantly in their line of work - thorough. Thanks to them, I felt very well-informed and well-prepared for my operation as well as what to expect afterwards. I believe this played a factor in how smoothly and quickly I was able to recover, as I closely followed the office guidelines on self-care after surgery, which was explained to me with clarity. I was even given a sample of ESK MD’s Vitamin K cream to try before my surgery, which I believe minimized my bruising! The fact that Dr. Kwak and his assistants really take their time to be thorough with you truly makes them stand out from the rest. Visiting the office, you feel very welcome, and Dr. Kwak himself feels not just like a doctor, but like a kind family member. He has a most calm and caring demeanor while meeting with his patients. You really feel as though Dr. Kwak takes the time to truly listen and evaluate your specific needs. I certainly trust his judgment and keen sense of both artistry and balance, especially as it is now nearly 2.5 months post-op and I am continuing to enjoy the results more and more each day. One last area in which I cannot help but deeply respect Dr. Kwak is the way in which he helped my mom, who accompanies me on my visits. She had a severe, extremely complicated issue that needed correcting, and sought Dr. Kwak’s help on the matter. He actually recommended that she see a friend of his who he felt had more experience on that particular matter. My mom took his recommendation and has had a wonderfully successful operation since! In today’s world of cutthroat competition, it is refreshing to see such humility and genuine concern for a person’s best possible outcome. My mom and I are both so thankful to Dr. Kwak for all that he has helped us with! I believe this overall sums up my very happy experience at Dr. Kwak’s office. I highly respect Dr. Kwak for his attributes as not just a doctor, but as a person, and I do not hesitate to recommend him. Especially if you are seeking help accompanied by a generous amount of compassion. He is a true artist who performs his work extremely skillfully. 5/5

I had revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Kwak about a month ago. The surgery went very well. Surprisingly, I didn’t get any bruised at all. Scar tissues heal very quickly. I always have the best experience with Dr. Kwak.

Sonia Singh

He really listens to you. I had a consult with another surgeon and it really made me appreciate how thorough and patient Dr. Kwak is. The price includes a lot of care- as he said « you never stop being a patient ». I’m hapoy with the results :)

Sarah

I had two procedures done at this office, the first was the Halo laser. I’d been battling discolouration and large pores with excessive amounts of concealer for as long as I can remember. A friend told me about this treatment and I thought I’d try it! I’m amazed with the results, my skin is glowing and smooth, my pores are remarkably smaller! It was uncomfortable to have done but quick and minimal downtime! I also had ultherapy under my eyes for dark circles, the results take longer to show but almost immediately I saw an improvement! The staff are really friendly! I really recommend this office!

Jenjen Wang

I am absolutely in love with my results. Dr.Kwak is amazing !

I have an eye, nose, and chin plastic surgery last week and recheck today. When I took off everything, it’s perfect. Doctor Edward is a very prefessional, good personality, and careful person. He would say’sorry’ when I feel hurt, Help me to release my nerves, and of course he made me a prettier person. Nurses are also kind and careful, and they are beautiful:) there was a nurse held my hand when I was in eye surgery and I was very nerves, she made me feel so comfortable. There are also 2 Chinese girls help me to translate some word I didn’t understand. It’s a happy and amazing experience. Thanks to doctor and beautiful beautiful nurse :)

My surgery required significant grafts to make my nose taller and longer. The recovery process was as Dr Kwak explained prior to surgery. With daily changes seen the first month and slower (sometimes painstakingly slow changes occurring along the tip and side of my nose the next few months). As explained prior to surgery, there were going to be good days and frustrating days during the recovery. As neurotic as I am, I constantly called or emailed with any issue I found. Despite how frequent I called, I never got the sense that Dr Kwak or his staff were bothered. Each call or subsequent visit was shared with the same compassion and interest as our initial consultation. Every question or concern I had was answered and tended to in a caring manner. I could not be more thrilled with my outcome. My friends constantly comment how natural and beautiful it is. I truly believe Dr. Kwak is a true champion to his patients.

Christine Padilla

Let me just say, Dr. Kwak is by far the best plastic surgeon I’ve been too. His bedside manner is impeccable! He made me feel so comfortable from the beginning of the visit to the end. I had many horrible experiences with other plastic surgeons in getting fillers for my lips so you can imagine how nervous I must of been when I came into Dr. Kwaks office. He definitely made me feel comfortable right away and he was extremely detailed in explaining the process to me and how we can fix my lips after my tough experience. He was able to get my lips evened out but still made them look natural. I definitely recommend him! He’s officially my go to plastic surgeon.

Bryan Fisher

Very well trained, experienced and capable physician. Staff is first class. Facilities and devices are cutting edge. Highly recommend.

hana park

My experience at ESK has been extremely positive. Dr.Kwak is clearly the best plastic surgeon in New York City. I've been to esk facial plastic surgery at least 6-7 times for botox, restalyne and radiesse injections. I've always been very pleased with the results of chin augumentation and others . More than pleased...thrilled actually. Needless to say, it's always a bit worrisome when someone is sticking needles in your face and potentially altering your appearance. I want natural results - I do not want to look like a cartoon character with duck lips. I'm happy to say I've never looked unnatural ! I completely trust Dr.Kwak with my face - he has a great sense of what will look natural. He has always made me look my absolute best. I highly recommend.

Igor Pe

Fast, excellent service. Never had to wait for more than a minute in the waiting room. Great bedside manners. Wish all doctors were like this.

melodi ozdemir

Let me start by saying that dr. Kwak and his team are very genuine and sweet--I place a lot of importance on this so I really mean it. The atmosphere of the office is very soothing; it kind of reminds me of a spa:) with the help of a friend, I was introduced to dr. Kwak and I'm glad. I've never been happier with the results of my surgery. It is exactly the way I envisioned it. Hes definitely good at what he does and if anyone is searching for a reliable and good rhinoplasty surgeon, GO TO HIM! You wont regret it.

Stephanie Levine

Couldn’t be more thankful for such a wonderful experience with Dr. Kwak and his staff. After years of research on doctors, I finally knew Dr. Kwak was the one I trusted as soon as I met with him. His professionalism and knowledge stands high amongst the rest. Not only was the experience a pleasure but the results of the surgery are outstanding. It has been about six months since the surgery and I couldn’t be happier. Not only am I breathing better due to the sinoplasty, but my nose looks so natural and perfect from the rhinoplasty. Look no further than Dr.Kwak when needing to choose a surgeon!

Interviewing plastic surgeons can be a very arduous and time consuming process. With each surgeon promising the sky and back, it can be very difficult to sift out the proper surgeon. Trust me, after visiting with 5 plastic surgeons I think I have gained some insight in the process. After first meeting with the "top" surgeons according to Google, and New York magazine I was starting to lose hope. I had heard of Dr Kwak through a friend of mine and although I hadn't heard much about him I decided i hand nothing to lose after meeting with so many surgeons. I am so glad I did. His initial consultation was so detailed. His demeanor while quiet was very comforting and put my concerns at ease. The computer simulations were the most natural of all the surgeons I met with. My rhinoplasty results were even better than the initial proposal. I am one year out and I cannot be happier. Only wish I had done this earlier! Glad I met Dr Kwak.

Elaine

Dr Kwak was very professional. He took time explaining all my questions and concerns. My surgery and recovery was as explained and no surprises which is what I wanted. The staff were very nice and helpful.

Michael Anderson

Great experience. I had breathing issues for many years. After many years or my internist punting off as "allergies" I decided to take matters in my own care and sought out an ENT. The ENT advised me that i had structural issues with my nose and referred me to Dr Kwak. Dr Kwak took time to thoroughly explain me my problems. He recommended surgery. Thoughout my care i felt comfortable under Dr Kwak's care. After a month out I have notice improvements in my sleep and energy levels. Glad I met Dr Kwak.

Victoria P

I could not be any happier with my results. Dr. Kwak did an amazing job. Dr. Kwak and his team are so professional and efficient. I was very nervous about having surgery and they held me hand every step of the way. So happy I found him!

Emily T

I was referred by a colleague a couple months ago to Dr. Kwak when I wanted to try lip fillers. This was the first cosmetic procedure I've ever had so I was quite nervous. I did my research about lip filler online and was expecting bruising and swelling but to my surprise I had ZERO bruising and only very minimal swelling. The result was natural and plump lips I've always wanted. My lipstick glided on beautifully and I don't have to overline my lips with lip liner anymore. Can't wait to go back for my next treatment soon!!!!!

Jack Kow

Dr. Kwak and his entire staff have been GREAT. Dr. Kwak is a professional, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable at what he does. If you are thinking of having any cosmetic procedure I highly recommend Dr. Kwak.

JWM de Jong

Professional, extremely skilled, and always kind and patient (and great front office staff). I have been a patient of Dr Kwak for years and can recommend him wholeheartedly!

Boris Buriev

Awful service , I was waiting for him 2 hours , they can’t organized time with patients , don’t schedule with this doctor anything , probably they schedule for same time fee clients to make more money office manager such big liar telling you about he gonna come after ,30 min , 20 min , but he no gonna show up on time never .

Syeda Huq

Unfortunately disappointed with my procedure. After lots of research I picked this doctor. But my procedure "filler" was not at all what it was supposed to do. The injections to begin with was very painful even after topical anesthetic. The filler was not massaged so now it is a line of bumps on my cheek, the jowl line filler has moved up on the sides of my chins, lip filler is inside the lip. So the end result is my cheek does not look any better but worse, lip injection is useless, my injection site still hurts after a month later. Don't know whether he hit my cheek bones too deep. I don't know why.... but I am so sorry I wasted thousands of dollars for this!

AMMO MUSIC

Dr. Kwak and his staff are among the best in New York. From the moment I walked in I was treated with nothing but respect and the upmost professionalism. The procedure itself went seamlessly; I recovered quickly and could not be happier with my results. I would strongly recommend Dr. Kwak's office: great people, great care, great experience!

Cleopatra Fitzgerald

On 2015 via Zocdoc I chanced upon Dr.Edward Kwak's page. His illustrious biography & educational writings on the "Real Self discussion" & his mindful blog immediately struck my readership attention. Dr.Kwak has enhanced multitudinous of lives (including soldiers) by giving them an opportunity to live their lives without shame,bias,stigma,etc. Dr.Kwak embellishes patients with his majestic quality work. He is crowned with being ultra-efficacious, refined with a composed persona & by having a competent deific adroitness. When silent for a moment it is as if he perceives in a nonjudgmental manner. On October 2015 I went to his previous 2nd office at 30 Central Park South where the registrar was serviceable. Dr.Kwak entered his office & we spoke in private. He has a charming personality as an Edwardian distingue. Dr.Kwak was most charitable as he held the hand mirror upright towards me as I spoke. He was so obliging that when I asked, he was going to present to me the body surgeon & recommendations if I needed for the future. On May 2016 even though Dr.Kwak was occupied when I called , his secretary managed to get him on the telephone for me. He was decorous when I explicated the reasons I tardied for my Botox. He told me that "we would be glad to have me back" On February 8th,2017 I arrived at his savory location at 737 Park Avenue where a porter signaled to me where 1D was & a federal express worker walking towards there walked with me around the block. When Dr.Kwak entered the office we conversed in private. He greeted me with a handshake & looked straight at me declaring that a year has passed! He questioned me which area of my face he would work on today & I pointed. He replied that 5 injections would be applied to the glabella region. His countenance has calculation,learnedness & supportiveness. When he had injection on hand & was contemplative, I told him I would help by partitioning my hair bangs in half away from injection site. For the first shot he said "1,2,3.." & injected. Continuously he injected the other four with decisiveness (some shots felt sharp while others not felt). Before completing the fifth final injection he stopped & I nodded my head for him to continue but he responded "I can't you are..." (he meant bleeding a bit) & he quickly used a gauze to clean site & fulfilled the fifth. Few blood dripped & he exerted pressure between my eyebrows with a gauze for seconds. He told me how I felt. I replied I was a little lightheaded (numb) & I asked "So, is this it? I can walk outside just like this?" he answered "No, you can stay for awhile." I asked him if I could do acupuncture since I had that appointment right after & he said "on your face?" I replied "No, on my body." He informed me "neither to lower my head nor do any exercise,activities for 24 hours." He said it takes about a week to see effects. He was mannerly to hand me back (due to botox) my purse & folder which was laying on the floor. I told him I would be his regular client in the future. I said how the building 737 the "37" is my 2nd favorite number & it is lucky. On the hallway he stated "is there anything else I could do for you?" I asked if botox wears off in several months & he nodded yes. I followed his instructions & ate bringing plate near face, tablet computer towards face,etc. I could feel slight discomfort & numbness. After 24 hours less intense. Several days the skin appeared smoother. Dr.Kwak's work is enchanting,breath-taking. He is a creator of disguise. I will update this review with diverse procedures in the future. Dr.Kwak has a distinction of prodigious eminence in his work. His Magnum Opus, open sesame is that he brings a better life to his patients just like a modern version of Pygmalion.

RENE OCAMPO

Dr. Kwak is an outstanding person, explains the process very clearly and performs every procedure very carefully. His office is immaculately clean, the staff is so kind and attentive it’s the most comfortable I’ve been in any doctor’s office ever!

Christopher Tricarico

Amazing experience getting my first cool sculpting procedure. I met with Stephanie and she was amazing and made me feel really comfortable. She explained everything in detail and also did the procedure which makes everything even more comfortable. The applicator pinched for the first couple of minutes but after that it's fine. I actually feel asleep during the second session :) ESK plastic surgery is amazing. I actually also see Dr.Kwak for my sinus issues and just booked my sinus procedure (which I've been procrastinating about) right after the cool sculpting cause I felt comfortable with Dr. Kwak with his way of explaining everything. I would recommend ESK plastic surgery to anyone.

Keith Browe

Professional, helpful and a great surgeon!

Abby Haliti

Very honest doctor with professional staff . I’m a color expert my self and knowing beauty industry for many years I find it very hard to trust random people when comes to Expertise . I love the Ulthera and I’ve gotten compliments from all my beautiful clients . Result will speak for it self !! So highly recommend this doctor and he Exceeded my expectation

Jill Horowitz

Dr. Kwak has a lovely manner. He was kind and gentle. I was taken care of promptly and efficiently, even though it was a very last-minute appointment, as I was coming unexpectedly from my MOHS surgeon for a major plastic surgery repair. He did an excellent job. The office staff was professional, as well.

“OMG, you look amazing!” “Last time your neck looked like that was when you were 25!” “If you did not tell me, I would have never guessed that you had anything done! Although, it’s hard to miss how incredible you look!!!” “Who is the genius that did it? its hard to believe that you are 47! I want his number now!” Dr. Kwak is an excellent doctor! True artist! Talented and highly skilled! There are a lot of options in New York for doctors, but I am certainly very happy that I made the right choice! I could not be any happier with the result of my mini facelift performed by Dr. Kwak! He is simply amazing! I had the surgery done about two and a half weeks ago, and have been hearing those type of comments ever since! The results were visible immediately after the surgery! And no, I had no bruises on my face, only a few small bruises on my neck! I was given only local anesthetic, and was very comfortable and in no pain during the procedure. The staff was caring and attentive, always available to answer any of my questions during the entire process, including my recovery. Less than a week later, I was out facing the world with my much younger looking face! Thank You, Dr. Kwak!

I am so grateful to the friend who referred me to Dr. Kwak. From the receptionist, to the scheduling assistant, to the anesthesiologist to the magnificent doctor himself, five stars. Dr. Kwak is not only a gifted doctor, but a lovely man. I cannot recommend this practice enough and I am THRILLED beyond what I could have hoped for with the results. Truly.

I have had my share of cosmetic work done and by some of most renowned doctors in the world. A girl friend of mine, Melinda "The Beauty Broker" suggested I go to see this Doctor she was raving about, and Im glad I did. My experience with Dr Edward Kwak , was hands down one of the best. First of all his office is immaculate and stunning. The staff was extremely friendly and made me feel very comfortable. Dr.Kwak has a very discerning eye. His attention to detail was impressive. I noticed he had really beautiful art work in his office and after speaking to his staff about the art work it all started to make sense. A cosmetic doctor that has a background or extensive interest in art is the best as judging whats balanced or aesthetically pleasing. I had no pain and no bruising. I was able to go right back to work.

Dr. Kwak and his team are exceptionally caring, attentive and skilled. Throughout the entire process from my first meeting to all follow up sessions I felt I got full time and attention to address and discuss any considerations and concerns. The operation I underwent helped enhance my sinuses and my breathing has improved drastically - achieving all that we had set out to achieve. Everything about the process and recovery seemed relatively seamless and I felt well supported throughout.

Dr. Kwak is a very talented surgeon, and he knows what he is doing and talking about. I had a rhinoplasty done by him and I felt nothing but knowing I was in good hands. I am three weeks post op and I absolutely love my nose, and the final results are not even showing yet. I had a really great experience!!
