I cannot rave about Dr. Chalekson and his staff enough. He got me in to do my reconstruction with my mastectomy when we weren’t even sure our dates would line up, he worked it out before he had even met me. He is an amazing plastic surgeon and his work speaks for itself. His staff is the absolute best! I’ve never experienced so many friendly, smiling and truly caring faces every time you come in. Not to mention the office is absolutely beautiful! I highly highly suggest to any and everyone to come in here for any plastic surgery or med spa needs!
Pleased from Start to Finish Breast Augmentation
2 months post-op
The initial consult felt very informative and low pressure. They did give my a quote that expired, but I had a week to think about it. Way better than some of the other consults I did. The price was comparatively slightly lower, but still amazing reviews.
The Dr. made me feel comfortable the entire time and took his time in answering any question I had throughout the process. I chose to do implants that filled out my chest more without a super augmented look (335 cc for me). Even though I probably could have done a little bit more, I'm still over the moon with the results. I'm glad I chose a local office because it has made follow up appointments much easier.
I would definietly recommend Dr. Chalekson and his office.

Wonderful from the first day I met Dr Chalekson and his staff. I wanted to have a tummy tuck and breast reduction and met with Dr Chalekson to discuss. I had my surgery in July 2023 and as I write this today I'm 7 months post op and loving my results. Still have some bloating but totally manageable.

I went to Dr Chalkston for breast augmentation and he did exactly what I asked and they turned out amazing! I couldn't be happier! The surgery went we even though the nurse had a hard time finding my vein to set up IV! Otherwise quick healing time, and perfect result

I am so completely happy with my body transformation Tummy Tuck
1 month post-op
I am so completely happy with my body transformation. Not only is Dr Chalekson an excellent surgeon but also an artist. The scar on my stomach is so narrow. It amazes myself and my husband. I am eight weeks out from abdominal plasty breast augmentation with implants/reconstruction. I am a two time cancer survivor so my breast reconstruction was very important to me to look balanced. He did a beautiful job. I feel more confident in my clothes. While surgery recovery is of course challenging there have been zero complications and my life has already been transformed. It was completely worth it. Dr Chalekson and the entire office is a pleasure to work with. Both my surgeon and my oncologist highly recommended Dr Chalekson, as do I.
Response from Dr. Charles Chalekson, MD Thank you so much for sharing. Dr. Chalekson does a beautiful tummy tuck and he is very experience in breast surgery. This allows for optimal results even when dealing with breast cancer reconstruction which can present many challenges. We are so happy that you and your husband are happy.
