Kyle Song, MD

 

Dr. Song completed his undergraduate education at Dartmouth College, where he earned a degree in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. During this time, he also played on the men’s varsity golf team, served on the student body, and volunteered at the local children’s hospital. After graduating, Dr. Song obtained his medical degree from UC Davis Medical School, scoring in the 99% percentile across the country for all board exams, and finishing in the top of his class. He was subsequently selected into the highly competitive General Surgery / Plastic Surgery program at UC Davis, where he had the opportunity to train under some of the most renowned cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons in the nation - including former director of the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Thomas Stevenson; Harvard-trained craniofacial surgeon, Dr. Granger Wong; body-contouring expert, Dr. Michael Wong; and international fat-grafting expert, Dr. Lee Pu. Dr. Song excelled in all areas of his training, and established himself as one of their leading plastic surgical trainees. After graduation, Dr. Song culminated his surgical training at the Plastic Surgery Center of Sacramento in an aesthetic fellowship, where he spent one year focusing specifically on surgical and non-invasive treatment for cosmetic face, breast, body, and post-massive-weight-loss procedures.

 

Dr. Song’s clinical research has been published in several peer-reviewed, leading plastic surgery publications, and he has authored a textbook chapter in Asian cosmetic surgery. He has presented his work at multiple regional, national, and international plastic surgical societies, and was also awarded the Francis W. Noel award for scholarly activity during residency. Most recently, Dr. Song was runner-up for the resident research competition at the 2011 California Society of Plastic Surgeons conference (CSPS).

Dr. Song has traveled extensively, providing reconstructive surgical services to impoverished children around the world. In Egypt, he took his training in cleft lip and palate repair to help numerous children who would otherwise have no access to these procedures. In Tijuana, Mexico, Dr. Song’s experience in burn surgery allowed him to volunteer time at the Shriner’s outreach clinic, helping some of the victims in the tragic Hermosillo daycare fire. Such volunteer missions have not only improved the quality of life for these patients, but have given their communities a renewed hope.

 

When not actively pursuing the art of medicine, Dr. Song takes time to focus on his family and athletic endeavors. He has completed numerous triathlons, several Ironman races, including the prestigious Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, and has been selected by Trisports.com to be part of their amateur sponsorship team.

With compassion and expertise, Dr. Song is committed to the highest standards of medical expertise and personalized care. He has dedicated himself to the pursuit of excellence in cosmetic surgery, focusing on both the physical and emotional elements of the cosmetic process. And through his deep understanding of both the art and science of beauty, Dr. Song is the consummate surgeon, fulfilling each patient with the results that they have always dreamt of.
