Credentials | Staff
Dr. Kyle S. Choe is a fellowship-trained Facial Plastic Surgeon specializing in cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery of the face and neck. A native of Tacoma, WA, Dr. Choe decided early in his training to center his medical practice on a single area of surgery and to become a highly-focused specialist. Since leaving a New York-based practice in 2004, he has devoted his practice exclusively to the face and neck.
Dr. Choe received his undergraduate degree from Occidental College and his medical degree from the University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry. He completed his Head & Neck surgical training at the New York Eye & Ear Infirmary in Manhattan under the tutelage of some of the world’s preeminent head, neck and plastic surgeons. Following his residency, Dr. Choe was selected for an intense facial plastic fellowship at a world class center for plastic surgery in upstate New York.
Dr. Choe is Board Certified to perform facial plastic surgery by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He is a diplomat of the American Board of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Dr. Choe has presented lectures and authored many published articles on the topic of facial plastic surgery, such as endoscopic facial surgery, revision rhinoplasty and anthropometric analysis of the face.
His practice specializes in surgical and non-surgical solutions to reverse the visible signs of aging. Dr. Choe has extensive experience with surgical procedures that include minimal-incision endoscopic brow lift and mid-facelift, mini and traditional facelifts; eyelid lift; chin and lip enhancement; nose surgery; and cheek enhancement. Dr. Choe also performs a variety of noninvasive procedures in his office that do not require any downtime.
During his personal time, Dr. Choe participates in medical missions in Central and South America, Asia and Europe in which he performs surgery for the underserved.
