Dr.Kao is Simply on Another Level!

WORTH IT
I can’t say enough about what a talented, amazing, artistic and genius this man truly is! He is simply on another lever. I had a ponytail lift and and upper bleph with him about a month ago and I couldn’t be happier. Best money you will EVER spend! I got to him through “thebeautybroker” Melinda Farina and they both were so helpful. He truly cares about his patients and came to visit me daily after surgery. I can send photos privately if anyone is interested. I have NO visible scars and you need a microscope to see the line above my eyes it’s honestly insane, every one of his stitches is miticulous and with thought.

Hello, may I ask how much you payed? I’m admiring his work on instagram but am not sure if i ever will be able to afford his genius. Thank you.

I was initially quoted about $80k by Fallon his former office person but he dropped it to $46k for face, brows; lip lift and neck. When I woke up I had to pay the surgery center several thousand and the anesthesiologist several for going over the number of hours he originally told them and me. Staying in LA cost me several thousand more for 2 weeks plus the airfare. I probably spent total $55,000. Wish I had it back or I looked like me just refreshed. At this point I would love to just like I did. I liked what I looked like before but just wanted a little refreshing to keep the years off. I have never looked my age but since surgery I do. Disappointing. I bought new makeup and tried different things with my hair hoping to make this work. Now I won’t look in any mirrors because it isn’t me that I see. Wish it was. He is not a mean person in fact he is pretty nice. He just didn’t do the same kind of work on me that he did on the girls in videos. If he did I would not even be on here trying to help other people but would be out enjoying life.

His prices really vary depending on the procedures you are looking to get done. The margins in price are really different for each patient.

Hello, I'm Chris, i live in Belgium and i'm considering a ponytail lift with dr Kao. Are you still happy with the results? Would you mind to sent me a before and after picture? It would be top if you could do this, it is so dificult to decide who to chose. Kind regards, Chris

Hi Chris - send me a private message with your telephone # and I can send you an txt message/ sms of my before and after pics.

I'm also considering Dr Kao. Obviously every person is unique and it depends on his recommendations. With that being said, would you be able to provide a ball park figure on how much you paid? Please.

Chris you are welcome to see mine from dr Kao. Pm me your phone number and I will text them. I can email also. I am not as happy. I wish I was. I waited patiently 1 year and 8 months hoping it was just swelling. It wasn’t. I am not a complainer. See both sides before you decide.

I'm sorry are not happy. That is a huge fear of mine. I was looking at his work and considering him as a surgeon. Could you please pm me your before and afters?
February 17, 2021
Hi! How do I PM you for photos? I am thinking of this procedure as well

So terrible. Seeing all his videos makes it look so easy and amazing. i can't even imagine the trauma you had to go through. I bet you now have some PTSD. When things go undeniably wrong the doctor should refund the full amount, but they don't. Good luck I hope you get some compensation.

Congratulations on a successful surgery! I am considering him as well and would love if you could message me your pictures. I already had one bad experience with a different doctor and want to make sure I do as much homework as possible this time around to finally put this nightmare behind me

I also used Kao if you want to see my pics pm me either a phone number to text them to or an email. I waited to swelling and now it is has been 1 year and 8 months. I look aweful. Judge for yourself. Just see both sides. I a, so glad the other girl turned out beautiful.

Oh my goodness, so sorry. It just proves even good doctors are not perfect and can result in bad outcomes. I know the stress of going surgery, it isn't fun.
