Plastic Surgeon in Portland, Oregon

Dr. Kyle Baltrusch is not only honest, intelligent, and compassionate, but also fun, charismatic, and easy to get along with. He’s proud to be a friend to his patients just as much as their plastic surgeon.

Originally from a farming community in Montana, Dr. Baltrusch was the first in his family to attend college. With a passion for art and anatomy, he realized in middle school that he wanted to be a plastic surgeon. He landed in Portland, Oregon, for medical school and training, joined Portland Plastic Surgery Group and never looked back.

While building his own practice within a group, Dr. Baltrusch has added to his already abundant surgical knowledge. From body contouring after massive weight loss, to cosmetic breast surgery, to top surgery and breast cancer reconstruction, Dr. Baltrusch has a wide variety of patients and he loves being their biggest advocate throughout their unique journeys.
