After graduating from Medical School at the University of Washington in Seattle,
Dr. Kao completed a 5-year General Surgery program at the University of Washington
and received his Board Certification by the American Board of Surgery in 1997.

through the use of a small camera scope). He became a clinical professor at the
University's Center for Videoendoscopic Surgery and taught residents and fellow
surgeons this technique.
He then completed a three-year plastic surgery program
at the University of Southern California.
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. He also performs all
aspects of plastic surgery including cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery,
liposuction, laser resurfacing, tummy tuck, eyelid, and nasal surgery.
Dr. Kao has authored numerous publications that have appeared in professional
journals.
He recently appeared on the Discovery Learning Channel featuring his endoscopic
facial work.
