Toft Facial Plastic Surgery

Description

Kenneth M. Toft, M.D. is the Director of Toft Facial Plastic Surgery Center. He is a committed surgeon with exceptional training in the art of Facial Cosmetic surgery. He dedicates 100% of his practice to the face, establishing himself as possibly the most highly trained and specialized facial plastic surgeon in the Sacramento area. In contrast, general plastic surgeons who perform breast and body liposuction spend as little as 20% of their practice on the face. Dr. Toft believes that to be the best at facial plastic surgery, one should focus completely on the face.

Exceptional Training Throughout his career Dr. Toft has demonstrated a commitment to excellence. After graduating from University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Science in the top 3% of his class, he went on to University of Michigan Medical School, graduating in the top 10% of his class. His surgical training began at Stanford University in head and neck surgery. This consists of a year of general surgery (non-cosmetic surgery, operating on primarily the digestive system) and four years of specialized training committed 100% to surgery of the face and neck. It was during this time at Stanford that Dr. Toft developed his interest in facial cosmetic surgery. Because of this interest, Dr. Toft performed research, wrote scientific papers, and gave national presentations on cosmetic facial surgery. Facial Plastic Surgery Fellowship Dr. Toft then went on to complete a fellowship in Facial Plastic Surgery at UCLA. A Fellowship in Facial Plastic Surgery is an exclusive honor for those who have demonstrated an excellence in training and a commitment to higher learning. There is an intensive application and interview process where only the top applicants from a recognized training program are accepted. Because Dr. Toft had performed laser resurfacing research in facial plastic surgery at Stanford, with numerous national presentations and papers on facial plastics, he was granted an interview at UCLA medical center for their fellowship. Of the approximately 45 interviewees from across the country, Dr. Toft was selected as the Fellow and Clinical Instructor in Facial Plastic Surgery. While at UCLA medical center, Dr. Toft was committed to intensive study in facial plastic surgery, learning from some of the world experts. Dr. Toft mastered the latest techniques, including natural facelift, endoscopic (small incision) surgery, fat conservation eyelid surgery, and others. Many of these techniques have significant advantages over older techniques, including more natural appearance, quick recovery, increased safety, longer lasting results, and less discomfort. Dr. Toft also acted as an Instructor, teaching other physicians the art of facial plastic surgery. He continued his academic pursuits, writing a chapter on submentoplasty (neck lifts), reviewing cosmetic journals online, publishing facial plastic surgery articles, giving national presentations, and acting as an associate editor on a laser surgery text. Dr. Toft is double board certified.
