Plastic Surgeon in Santa Monica California, Dr. Kao, performs all aspects of plastic surgery in Southern California including cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery, facelifts, liposuction, laser resurfacing, tummy tuck surgery, eyelid, and nasal surgery. Dr. Kao is located in Santa Monica, California and Manhattan Beach and helps patients in Southern California including Beverly Hills and Los Angeles.

Dr. Kao continues to expand his interest in Endoscopic Surgery to facial plastic surgery. He specializes in the Endoscopic Browlift, MidFacelift, Vertical Facelift and Limited Incision Necklift. He helps teach other surgeons these specialized techniques at the Endoscopic Plastic Surgery Educational Seminar in Los Angeles, California. One area of interest to Dr Kao is Endoscopic Plastic Surgery, in particular the Endoscopic Vertical Facelift. The endoscope is a small fiberoptic camera (5mm wide) that is inserted into a 1 inch incision in the temporal scalp area. This helps to visualize the structures inside of the face without making a large incision. The operation is done watching the television monitor, rather than directly at the wound. There are also smaller (8mm) incisions placed on the forehead hair bearing scalp area for introduction of instruments.

Breast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic procedures in my practice. Women usually schedule a consultation and want to enhance their breasts for a number of reasons: To correct flattening of their breasts following pregnancy and breast feeding. - To enhance curves and give proportion to a woman who feels her breast size is too small. - To balance a difference in breast size.
