Dr. Choe knew he wanted to become a surgeon early on in his life. He remembers the anatomy class during his junior year in high school and how much he enjoyed the dissection lab. Dr. Choe spent several summers during his medical school shadowing a well-known cardiothoracic surgeon in his hometown of Tacoma, Washington. He imagined being a famous heart surgeon someday. It wasn't until his senior year in medical school that he realized that facial plastic surgery had better suited his life goals. "I realized that life is more than just enjoying work, and I am glad I made the discovery." He credits his mentors and fellowship director for his love for facial plastic surgery. As a facial plastic & reconstructive surgery practice in the greater Hampton Roads area, Dr. Choe is committed to helping his patients achieve their goals with natural results that are individually focused. He looks forward to meeting you soon. Trust your face to a facial plastic surgeon.
Dr. Choe received his undergraduate degree with honors 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.
Because his work centers on the face and neck, Dr. Choe brings a detail-oriented understanding of facial anatomy, expression, proportion, and aging to each treatment plan. When you meet with our facial plastic surgeon, you can expect a careful evaluation and a conversation about what can be achieved safely and naturally.
Dr. Choe believes that recent advances in plastic surgery have changed the way we view cosmetic enhancement today. Techniques and aesthetics have improved greatly, offering the patient more amazing options for the goals they are seeking.
Our surgical options include rhinoplasty, facelift procedures such as the deep plane facelift, eyelid lift, brow lift, neck lift, and more. For those interested in non-surgical approaches, our med spa treatments include Botox, dermal fillers, Morpheus8, FaceTite, laser skin resurfacing, and a range of skin care options. We also offer FUE hair transplants and other hair restoration solutions for both men and women.
During your consultation, Dr. Choe will help you understand which options align best with your goals, anatomy, and recovery preferences. Every plan is built around the individual, not a preset protocol.
The nose is such a distinctive part of our face. As we get older, we either appreciate it for what it is or we wish it looked different somehow.
Our care is led by Dr. Kyle S. Choe, a double-board-certified facial plastic surgeon and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. His training includes otolaryngology-head and neck surgery as well as advanced fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Because his work is centered on the face, he approaches both surgical and non-surgical treatment with the precision these delicate structures require
That specialized perspective is especially important for procedures where small changes can have a meaningful effect on the entire face. For patients considering rhinoplasty in Virginia Beach, Dr. Choe evaluates the nose in relation to the chin, cheeks, profile, and overall facial proportions. He also considers nasal function and, when appropriate, may address breathing concerns at the same time as cosmetic refinement. His published work includes research and medical writing related to nasal analysis, structural rhinoplasty, and revision rhinoplasty.
Dr. Choe also believes good outcomes begin with clear communication. During your consultation, he takes time to understand what concerns you, what you would like to change, and what you want to preserve. He then explains the options that fit your anatomy and goals, including the benefits, limitations, recovery considerations, and potential risks. Our philosophy is built around thoughtful planning rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Safety and continuity of care matter throughout the process. Surgical procedures such as rhinoplasty are performed in our AAAHC-accredited in-office surgery center in Virginia Beach, and our team supports patients from consultation through follow-up and recovery. For a realistic sense of Dr. Choe’s aesthetic approach, you can also explore our before-and-after photo gallery and see how treatment plans are tailored to different facial features and goals.
Taking the first step is often the most uncertain part of the process. If you have questions about a specific procedure or simply want to understand what is possible for your goals, we invite you to schedule a consultation at The Choe Center. Call us at 757-389-5850, request an appointment using our online form, or visit our Virginia Beach office at your convenience. We look forward to meeting you.
A facial plastic surgeon focuses exclusively on the structures of the face and neck. Rather than dividing attention across the entire body, this specialization means years of additional training devoted to facial anatomy, aesthetics, and proportion. At The Choe Center, Dr. Kyle S. Choe, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, brings that concentrated expertise to every procedure.
This distinction matters because the face demands an exceptional level of precision. Millimeters can influence how natural your results look. Whether you are considering rhinoplasty, a facelift, or a brow lift, working with a surgeon whose daily practice centers on facial anatomy can make a meaningful difference in your outcome.
We offer a comprehensive range of surgical and non-surgical/med spa treatments designed to address aging, proportion, and facial harmony. Surgical procedures include rhinoplasty, facelift variations such as the deep plane facelift and mini-facelift, eyelid lift, neck lift, chin augmentation, and facial fat grafting, among others.
For patients who prefer a non-surgical approach, our med spa treatments include Botox, dermal fillers, laser skin resurfacing, and Morpheus8. Each treatment plan is tailored to your goals, anatomy, and recovery preferences. During your consultation, Dr. Choe will help you understand which options may align best with your needs.
Candidacy depends on several factors, including your overall health, skin quality, facial structure, and the specific changes you hope to achieve. Good candidates are typically in stable health, do not smoke (or are willing to stop well before and after surgery), and have realistic expectations about what a procedure can accomplish.
The most reliable way to determine candidacy is through a one-on-one evaluation. During your consultation at The Choe Center, Dr. Choe examines your anatomy, discusses your goals, and provides clear recommendations. We welcome patients from across the Hampton Roads region, including Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Newport News.
Your consultation is an opportunity to share your concerns, ask questions, and receive an honest assessment. Dr. Choe takes time to understand what you hope to change, evaluates your facial anatomy, and explains which procedures or treatments may help you reach your goals. You will also discuss medical history, recovery expectations, and potential risks.
We believe an unhurried, thorough consultation is essential to building trust and ensuring you feel confident moving forward. There is no pressure to commit during your visit. If you would like to see examples of previous results, our before and after photo gallery provides a helpful reference for what is achievable with different procedures.
Recovery varies depending on the procedure. Less invasive treatments such as Botox or dermal fillers typically involve minimal downtime, while surgical procedures like a facelift or eyelid lift may require one to two weeks of initial healing. Swelling and bruising are normal in the early days and gradually improve over the following weeks.
We provide detailed pre-operative and post-operative instructions so you know exactly what to expect at every stage. Most patients feel comfortable returning to everyday activities within a timeframe that Dr. Choe will outline for your specific procedure. Final results continue to refine over several months as tissues settle and heal.
Cost depends on the procedure, the complexity of your treatment plan, anesthesia requirements, and facility fees. Because each plan is individually designed, we provide pricing during your consultation after Dr. Choe has evaluated your goals and anatomy. We find that this approach is more accurate and transparent than publishing a general price range that may not reflect your specific situation.
Our team is happy to walk through financial policy details and available payment options so that you can make an informed decision. We encourage patients to weigh the value of a surgeon's training and specialization alongside cost when choosing a provider.
Board certification signals that a surgeon has completed rigorous training, passed comprehensive examinations, and maintains ongoing education in their specialty. When that certification is specifically in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, it reflects a depth of knowledge focused entirely on the face and neck.
Dr. Choe is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS), which reflects a commitment to ethical practice and clinical excellence. Patients throughout Virginia Beach and the surrounding Hampton Roads community trust our practice because Dr. Choe's background and our philosophy prioritize safety, precision, and results that look like you, only refreshed.
Yes, combining treatments is common and can sometimes produce more balanced, comprehensive results than a single procedure alone. For example, a patient considering a neck lift may also benefit from chin augmentation to improve overall profile harmony. Similarly, surgical procedures are often complemented by non-surgical options like laser skin resurfacing to address skin texture and tone.
Dr. Choe evaluates each patient individually and will recommend a combination approach only when it serves your goals. The priority is always a natural, harmonious result, not performing more procedures than necessary. To schedule a consultation, call us at (757) 389-5850 or request an appointment online.
