I have practiced cosmetic surgery in Hawaii since 1979, and because of the ethnic composition of the Hawaiian population, a majority of my practice has involved esthetic surgery for the Asian patient.

The past 20 years has witnessed an explosion in the demand for cosmetic surgery of the Asian face, a situation attributable to increasing affluence in Asian nations as well as immigration to the western world. My professional experience during these past 20 years has established my credentials as an expert in Asian cosmetic surgery, having authored a medical textbook (Cosmetic Surgery of the Asian Face), and published 80 plus scientific articles and medical textbook chapters.

I recently served as a guest editor for the Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America special issue on Surgery in the Asian Patient. In addition, I have presented 60 plus scientific lectures at National and International meetings.

I stress these professional and academic achievements because in cosmetic surgery, the experience and expertise of the surgeon is perhaps the best predictor of an excellent surgical outcome. I am particularly proud of my certification by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (click for link describing this certifying body for specialty Facial Plastic Surgeons).
