"This allows for smaller, subtle adjustments that, together, produce a beautiful and balanced improvement—without the telltale signs of intervention. Instead of over-treating one area, I believe in addressing all aspects of aging to achieve a global, natural result." Dr. Chesnut completed his medical education at the University of Washington School of Medicine and pursued advanced training in dermatology at the University of California, Los Angeles. His residency was followed by a specialized fellowship that integrated dermatologic surgery, oculoplastic surgery, facial plastic surgery, and general plastic surgery.

He is also a proud member of the RealSelf Hall of Fame. A frequent lecturer at medical conferences, Dr. Chesnut has published extensively in the field of dermatology and is widely regarded as an expert on facial aging. He is known internationally for his spirit of innovation and his commitment to finding the most effective and minimally invasive solutions for his patients. "My goal is simple: to help you achieve your best self with the least amount of intervention possible—because less truly is more," he says.
There is NO physician in the World in any field who can come remotely close to DR Chesnut's surgical skills nor his patient care. To even put him in the category of plastic surgeon is unfair as he transcends his field and resides in the world of fine art. Rarely does anyone exceed expectations but Dr Chesnut and his staff set their own bar which will most certainly be only surpassed by themselves. I am 10 months out from my eye surgery and I am elated and was from the day after surgery. No one can achieve results like this man. I would never allow another doctor to touch me.....I loved the whole process and I adore, respect and revere this brilliant , humble artist to no end.
I am writing this review for anyone in need of eyelid revision surgery. Dr. Chestnut is a true artist, a master of his craft, a wizard....AND an amazing human being. Let me start by saying that for 7 years, I was haunted by previous decisions that I had made regarding surgery on my upper and lower eyelids. I was unrecognizable to myself and literally loathed looking in the mirror. I am now 6 weeks post op from my revision surgery with Dr. Chestnut and for the first time in a VERY long time, I can see a version of myself that I am so happy with. I am excited to start living my life again. Prior to deciding on Dr. Chestnut, I met with every well-known plastic surgeon in the country from New York, California, Florida and beyond. I knew that this was my last chance to get it right. I did an EXTENSIVE amount of research, to say the least. I knew that Dr. Chestnut was my choice after our first conversation. His surgical before and afters were just stunning and so very natural. His understanding of revisional surgery was very clear- not just the complicated physical aspect of it, but the emotional side of it too. He was very concise with his vision of what the surgery would entail and set a realistic expectation given my history of previous surgery as well as previous filler use. Dr. Chestnut is in Spokane, Washington, so I stayed there for a week for my surgery. His team is incredible. They can help coordinate anything you might need prior to your arrival. Dr. Chestnut also has an entire healing protocol for after surgery that he highly recommends, and I believe that is a huge part of why I am feeling so great at just 6 weeks. I used his aftercare nurse Jac, who is the sweetest person and was so incredible. She was with me in the operating room the day of my surgery, so she knew exactly what had transpired and was able to give me the best possible aftercare. During the last 6 weeks, I also have been in regular contact with Dr. Chestnut's incredible medical coordinator, Shelby. She has answered any questions that have come up and she has been amazing, to say the very least. Shelby has been such an incredible resource, and she is such a wonderful person. I also have spoken to Dr. Chestnut via Facetime, and he is very involved in the recovery process and all that is happening in my healing journey. The majority of his patients fly in from all over, so you never feel isolated or out of touch once you leave Spokane. Today, 6 weeks out, I am SO grateful that I went with Dr. Chestnut. Words cannot express my sense of hope and happiness. I still have lots of healing to do, but I am so thrilled. It has been a really long road for me, so to finally have made the right decision by going with Dr. Chestnut- it is the VERY best feeling. Thank you, Dr. Chestnut....you have forever changed my trajectory in life and I will always be grateful. Thank you, also, to your amazing team. Endless gratitude......
I saw Dr.Chestnut for a fat transfer and CO2 laser procedure starting in 2021. I had severe chicken pox scarring on my face from childhood and went to multiple Med Spas in Spokane, Liberty Lake, and North Idaho searching for solutions to soften the scarring and discoloration. I tried micro needling with no results and then was referred to Dr.Chestnut. My initial consultation he was very clear with me that my scars would never be completely gone but our long term goal was to get them softened as much as possible. I had one fat transfer and three CO2 laser sessions and two years later my skin looks incredible! I have multiple smaller pox scars that are completely gone and the larger ones are barely visible. It was a long road of multiple recoveries, but I would do it all over again just to get these results. Dr.Chestnut personalized my procedure to me and continued to work at the stubborn scars every time I came back in. Shelby, was absolutely incredible in making me feel so comfortable and texting me afterwards to check in on me. I am beyond grateful to Dr.Chestnut and his whole team for helping me find the confidence in my facial appearance that I desired!
I had Mohs surgery August 8th. Still early. Dr Chestnut was great at explaining the procedure to me and putting me at ease. It was a very difficut area and required a skin graf. I do not know the final outcome as he told me it would be 4 to 6 months of healing. So far it is going well. and looking good.His staff was wonderful and I definately reccommend Dr. Chestnut. I had additonal biopsy done while I was there and I am going back for another mohs surgery with Dr. Chesnut in about a month in a different area. I feel very good about the results .
I was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma and needed follow-up MOHS surgery. I chose Dr. Chesnut to perform the surgery and he did it expertly. I was slightly anxious but Dr. Chesnut and his staff walked me through what to expect before, during and after the procedure. Their knowledgeable, professional and caring approach put me at ease and assured me I’d made the right choice. Additionally, the scarring is nearly nonexistent and there was zero discomfort. Highly recommend!!
I highly recommend Dr. Chestnut. He is the best in his field. He goes above and beyond to ensure that you are taken care of. Dr. Chestnut and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and make sure that you understand step by step the process. The facility and staff are exceptional. I could not be happier and I will be back.
I have been seeing Dr. Chestnut for several years for Botox injections and laser treatments. When I decided to have cosmetic surgery, I knew he was the best choice for me. I had seen examples of some of his work and was very impressed with the natural results he was able to obtain.
Dr. Chesnut is such a gifted surgeon! He is truly an artist with an attention to detail like no other. I was impressed not only by his kind and humble nature, but by his unique approach to each surgical case. Dr. Chesnut curates his surgical plan to the “individual.”As a leader in the field of facial rejuvenation, he has refined his techniques to deliver the MOST natural and beautiful results! After experiencing a brow lift, mid face lift, laser resurfacing, ptosis repair, asymmetry correction, fat transfer, upper and lower lid bleth, deep plane face lift and neck contour - my result are both undetectable and incredible! I could not be more satisfied with the entire process - from consult to recovery. Proceed with confidence! Dr. Chestnut and his staff are the very best at what they do!
Professional, innovative, great inter-personal skills, way ahead of the curve when it comes to using “biological,” and utilizing minimally invasive procedure/s creating a look of “a better version of the real you.” Price is worth it: never want a “low budget” surgery. Recovery options are top of the line and his follow up was very prompt, supportive and professional.
I highly recommend Dr. Chesnut and Clinic 5C. From the initial consultation to the procedure, everything was 5 star. Not only is he a skilled surgeon but genuinely a kind person who truly cares about his patients. The fat transfer procedure I had done was minor in the big scheme of things but nonetheless, I was so nervous to have anything done for fear of looking “overdone”. My first interaction with Dr. Chesnut was the in-office consultation where he took a little over an hour to answer anything and everything for me. I never once felt rushed or like any question I asked was stupid. I know he is extremely busy but he really makes you feel like you are his only patient. In the months leading up to the procedure I emailed more questions to his office and he promptly answered those as well. The day of the procedure Dr. Chesnut came in and did another thorough exam/ consultation and made sure we were on the same page and again answered more of my questions, making me trust him and feel totally comfortable. The day after, I went back to the office and did the hyperbaric chamber as well as the IV vitamins and was taken excellent care of by his staff. One-month post procedure, Dr. Chesnut personally texts you to find out how you are doing and again asks if need anything or have any questions (by this point, I was all out of questions but appreciated the follow-up). Besides being a master of his craft, I think all of these things are what sets him apart from the others. I am extremely happy with my natural results and would highly recommend Dr. Chesnut to anyone looking to have a cosmetic procedure done.
Fractional, ablative laser resurfacing is going to be your most effective option to tighten loose and creepy skin on the upper and lower eyelids. Cameron Chesnut RealSelf Hall of Fame
Deep, radiofrequency tightening is certainly the most aggressive and effective type of skin tightening, like my Virtuoso lift. Cameron Chesnut RealSelf Hall of Fame
Options for skin tightening range from surgical to nonsurgical, with many options in between. At a younger age, often a combination of micro liposculpting and Virtuoso non-surgical skin tightening can give wonderful results. Cameron Chesnut RealSelf Hall of Fame
