Personal

A Missouri native, Dr. Sato was drawn to the field of plastic surgery when she was diagnosed with Binder’s Syndrome as a child. Binder’s syndrome is a rare congenital malformation resulting in undergrowth of the central face and may include elements of the nose and upper jaw. She underwent rhinoplasty surgery as a teenager utilizing cartilage from her right ear to reconstruct her nose. At just 15 years old she experienced how life-changing plastic surgery can be, and knew that she wanted to be a plastic surgeon, so that someday she could impact others’ lives in a similar manor.

Personal Life

Dr. Sato is married to Dr. Derek Moore, a cardiothoracic surgeon born and raised in Abilene, TX. They have a son, Daizen, and an English bulldog, Bucky. She enjoys spending time with her boys, running, Peloton, and traveling.
