Get to Know Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Maya Kato
I’m a perfectionist. I like to work with my hands, and I enjoy helping patients achieve their goals in a natural way. I like to make things look beautiful and perfect.
Using a combination of intellect, science, and artistry to help patients.
To stay safe and achieve superior results. Patients should see an injector who has intimate knowledge of the structures of the face.
I provide a welcoming environment where patients can discuss their aesthetic goals in a relaxed setting.
I can’t see myself doing anything else!
Snowboarding, working out at the gym, baking, and shopping.
I had a patient who was going to see her in-laws who don’t particularly like her. Naturally, she wanted to look amazing. I did some fillers and neuromodulator injections. When she came back, she thanked me for the best experience.
They all knew she looked great but couldn’t guess what she had done. They wondered if she had changed her hair or whitened her teeth – but no one assumed she had cosmetic injectables!
When I was a resident, we could only offer surgery to patients. Now, we can create similar results with injectables in the office. Recent advancements in aesthetic medicine have made it possible for patients to achieve significant rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
I enjoy performing the liquid facelift for patients, which uses all the tools we have (neuromodulators, fillers, Kybella, and threads). I also love Sculptra, because it creates beautiful, long-lasting, natural results over time.
Each year, we add more tools to our armamentarium. The sky’s the limit!
