When Dr. To joined the practice in 2004, they established the Cosmetic and Skin Surgery Center. What is Dermasurgery? Dermatology has experienced a boom of technology over the last 20 years. The advent of new lasers, cosmetic products and procedures led to the creation of a separate subspecialty called Dermasurgery. This subspecialty includes aspects of cosmetic dermatology, plastic surgery, Mohs micrographic surgery, laser dermatology and more. To obtain the highest level of expertise within dermatology, selected dermatologists undertake one or two years of fellowship training in addition to the traditional four year residency. Wyatt C. To, MD Dr. Wyatt C. To is a facial plastic surgeon specializing in rejuvenation of the aging face, rhinoplasty and facial reconstruction. He is certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology (ABO).

He completed a six year residency in Head and Neck surgery at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, Ohio, before obtaining a prestigious American Academy of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) fellowship with Dr. Calvin M.
