Plastic Surgery
Procedures
At Kao Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Chia Chi Kao is known for creating beautifully natural results that enhance rather than change who you are. His innovative techniques for the face, breast, and body—including the world-renowned Ponytail Lift®—focus on balance, longevity, and minimal scarring.
Every treatment is guided by three core principles:
- Natural aesthetics first. Subtle, elegant results that fit your unique features.
- Advanced surgical technique. Faster recovery, discreet incisions, and less downtime.
- Comprehensive aftercare. Personalized healing support through the KO’AN Recovery Center just steps from our Santa Monica office.
