Lynn Chung, MD

Hello,
I hope that this helps anyone who like me is/was weighing the decision for surgery.
I’ve never had plastic surgery before, and I was on the fence about getting this procedure. I made an appointment to go in and consult with Dr. Chang. I live in Snohomish County but felt like I had to go see her and talk about my case (her offices are in Puyallup). On the day of my appointment, I felt a little anxious. I filled out several forms and answered all questions to the best of my knowledge. Dr Chang answered all of my concerns and made me feel like it was something that I could do. I think it was a great idea to talk with her. I made the decision to get the procedure that day while I was there. I talked to her staff and set up all of my appointments and surgery date. My surgery went very well and was without any problems. I feel fully healed; however, I still have another appointment a month from now, so I think I’m a little ahead in my recovery. My total surgery time was about 30 minutes. I had a local and was awake for the procedure but did not experience any discomfort. I felt at ease because they tuned to my favorite radio station, and I listened to a few tunes. I am very happy with the result of the surgery, it looks great! I would recommend Dr. Chang to anyone looking for plastic surgery. She is a wonderful doctor, and I can tell that she really wants what is best for all of her patients.
Thank you, C.J. Lynn Chang M.D.

Hi! Just want to give background about my body & habits before I dive into my review & results.
I’m a 36 mother of 2. I’ve always been a tiny person. Before I had my first child, I weighed 95 pounds (I’m 4’11”). With my first pregnancy, I gained almost double my weight. As I reached 8 cm, I had to have an emergency C-section. As you can imagine, that left me with lots of stretch marks, loose skin, and also a pooch in my mid section due to the C-section scar.
I’ve been working out for about 10 years now. I work out about 6 days a week. I’m an avid runner and hiker. I like to lift weights. I’m a pretty healthier eater. I try my best to eat lots of meats & veggies, and try to stay away from fast food or fried foods.
I went in to see Dr. Chung for a consultation and just knew at point that I would select her as my doctor. She is sweet and friendly, very down to earth. She is super informative. I didn’t feel pressured at all. I told her exactly what I wanted, and she told me the truth about what I would be able to achieve with surgery. There was no BS in our meeting, which I appreciated.
I went in for my surgery on 9/22/21. I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair, and flank lipo. Everything went great! I remember talking to the anesthesiologist one minute, and then waking up from surgery the next. My SO picked me up and we went home.
Recovery was great! Dr. Chung’s team was great (super sweet team). I had all my meds, and a detailed after care plan. I was up and walking on day 2. Day 3 was probably the most painful. By the 3rd week, i was finally able to stand straight.
I was able to resume light workouts on week 8. Fast forward to 11/25/21 (gym pic). This is me without doing any sort of abs workouts. I was finally able to start ab workouts again on my 3 month mark. I LOVE my tummy tuck! I love that I can workout at the gym and not be self conscious about my loose skin. I love that I can wear crop tops now. I love that I went down one Jean size from just removal of my skin.
Hope my story helps those we are choosing to have a tummy tuck with Dr. Chung!

I am 56 years old. In the past, I had been fine with injectables now and then. In 2018, after a large weight loss from a cancer surgery, my skin just didn't bounce back. No amount of fillers were fixing the bulldog jowls, marionette lines and hooded, droopy eyes.
Dr Lynn Chung had performed arm and thigh lifts on me in the previous months, so I asked her if she could do anything with my face. I had a full face and neck lift with fat transfer to my lips. It took a while to get used to my new look, especially the appearance of eyelids and higher eyebrows, but now I absolutely love my face again and I'm glad I had it done.
The fat from the transfer didn't take and was dissipated after two months, and one side of my face wasnt pulled as tight as the other (leaving a slight marionette line); so I ended up paying another $2300 for fillers at the laser clinic and am now happy that everything is even.

My experience was amazing! From the first appt to the surgery I was not nervous at all! I had an issue at night once and Dr. Chung FaceTime me and checked it out. I love how honest and thorough she was.

My experience with Dr. Chung was excellent. She closely listened to my goals, and made thoughtful suggestions to enhance and perfect my end result.

I have been deeply uncomfortable with my side profile for at least the last 12 years. I received a non-surgical rhinoplasty and chin augmentation with injectables with Dr. Chung at the Ambulatory Puyallup Surgicenter to balance my profile. I am ecstatic with my results and feel like a more confident and beautiful version of myself.

Highly recommend Dr. Chung to anyone considering injectables.

I’m writing this review for the person that is curious about having surgery to remove excess skin, fat or might need repair to their abdominal muscles. Please don’t be put off by the price tag because you can’t put one on your quality of life.
I am a mother of 4. I had 4 c-sections, I’m 5’ 1” and have struggled with my body image for years. I honestly didn’t even think about how the repair to my abs would allow me to keep up with my everyday life without constant back pain from the pulling and separation of the muscles. I purely was interested because I just didn’t like what I saw in the mirror. Before I had my consultation with Dr. Ching I had one with a really popular plastic surgery establishment. They couldn’t get me in until next year and I almost gave up. Thankfully I have supportive people that encouraged me to keep looking. That’s when I found Dr. Chung’s office. Her reviews were great and they were scheduling way sooner. The consultants toon was amazing and I was treated with respect & dignity every step of the way. I also loved that she made sure I was doing this for myself and no one else.
Surgery and recovery is subjective and to be honest it was comparative to having a c-section minus the baby but obviously your skin is going to feel tight. The first week was as to be expected, lots of rest. I am now 2 weeks post-op and I feel great! I am able to resume most activities. I will tell you that immediately after surgery waking up in recovery they helped me sit up and immediately felt the difference in my ab strength. You don’t know what is missing until you have it back!
Dr. Chung has been amazing and is always patient, willing to answer any questions and is thorough. I would recommend her to anyone interested in a tummy tuck/abdominal repair surgery. I also had a breast tuck & lift. That recovery is easy leash. It’s mostly fat & tissue.
If you are interested in bettering your quality of life, do it! You are so worth it and you deserve to feel & look your best. Exercise and healthy eating habits can only get you so far. Sometimes you need that extra help and that is nothing to feel shame or guilt about. Dr. Ching helped me change my life and I am eternally grateful.

Dr Chung is amazing. She listens and has a wonderful kind bedside manner. Her and her staff took very good care of me. Her work is also amazing. I will forever recommend her to everyone I know! Great!

Dr. Chung was great. Took her time to explain everything and answer all my questions.same the the anesthesiologist. The nurses were very nice and knowledgeable. The "sizing specialist" had 30 years experience and was very honest and helped me choose a size that I wouldn't have chosen for myself, but I am so happy with my reaults. Would definitely recommend!!

Before Dr Chung, I had two other skin removal procedures by two different doctors. This third procedure was a thigh lift, and I will soon be having a brachioplasty (a re-do/correction of a previous brachioplasty from a less-experienced doctor). I wish I had found Dr Chung's office first before the other doctors, but at least I found her now. I am most satisfied with her work.

Very happy with result. In a few more months, I may have some laser treatments if the scars don't get lighter in color. (Or I may just wear capris all summer and save the money). Areas have filled-in a bit, but very nice space in between.

Dr. Chung was amazing. I had a breast augmentation last year then an implant exchange for a bigger size a year later. She was very thorough when explaining the procedure, risks, and what to expect. You can tell that she is very compassionate about her work. I would definitely highly recommend her
