Dr. Charleston Chua regularly consults with women who wish to have their pre-pregnancy shape back. While childbirth is an exciting and amazing moment for a woman, it inevitably will alter the tightness and shape of various body parts — and can leave one feeling a little frustrated. The most exciting news is that it's possible to get a slim and toned body, thanks to the assistance of the mommy makeover surgery performed by Dr. Chua. This body contouring treatment uses a combination of skin tightening and fat reduction methods to reshape the breasts, stomach, buttocks, and thighs — virtually any area affected by pregnancy weight gain or nursing can be corrected. In addition, nonsurgical procedures can be incorporated to correct surface irregularities, such as hyperpigmentation and discoloration, from the rapid fluctuation and stretching of the skin during pregnancy.

Excellent Experience

I underwent Lipo 360, tummy tuck, and BBL, and the results have exceeded my expectations in every way. From the very beginning, the doctor and the entire staff demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and excellence. They made me feel comfortable, calm, and completely safe at every stage of the journey. What stood out the most was how thoroughly they prepared me, not only with pre-surgery vitamins and care, but also by providing absolutely everything I needed for recovery. This thoughtful approach meant I never had to worry or stress about what I would need during the healing process. I want to extend a special thank you to Daisy, who was exceptionally kind and attentive. Her support made me feel accompanied and confident, turning what could have been a stressful experience into a truly positive one. This clinic is more than just a place for surgery. It is a team that genuinely cares about their patients’ well-being and results. I trust them completely, and I believe anyone considering these procedures will find them to be the best option. The process is absolutely worth it, and I am deeply grateful for the outstanding care I received.

Excellent Experience

My experience with Dr. Chua and his staff was excellent. Everything about the surgery from pre-op to post and follow up was easy. My recovery went extremely well and most of the bruising was gone in a week to 10 days. I get a lot of compliments on looking refreshed.

Great Experience

Dr Chua and Daisy were so helpful and comforting along the entire process, from first consultation through recovery. The surgical staff was also amazing and eased my anxiety the morning of the procedure. I was concerned about the pain, recovery, cost, etc and now I can say I wish I had my procedure years ago. Highly recommend Dr Chua and his team!

Review for Dr. Charleston Chua – Breast Implant Removal

I recently had my breast implant removal procedure done by Dr. Charleston Chua, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! After having implants for 15 years, I had been considering removal for some time but wanted to avoid general anesthesia. Dr. Chua assured me that I would be a good candidate for local anesthesia, and I’m so grateful he accommodated my request. During the procedure, I was numbed with Lidocaine for pain management and took a Valium for comfort. I didn’t feel any pain at all, and the entire process was quick, smooth, and stress-free. My recovery was practically painless, and now, three months later, I’m fully healed with no issues. This experience has truly changed my life for the better! If you’re considering breast implant removal, I highly recommend Dr. Chua—his expertise, care, and willingness to tailor the procedure to my needs made all the difference.

Thank You Dr.Chua!

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr.Chua and his staff. He takes his time to explain everything and answer questions, he makes you feel 100% comfortable and confident. Im thankful to have had Dr.Chua do 2 of my surgeries (BBL & breast augmentation with lipo) every time has been a wonderful experience. You can tell he is passionate and enjoys what he does. It’s also good to know if you need him or have questions he and/or his staff are only a text or phone call away. I recommend Dr.Chua to anyone looking for an amazing doctor who you can trust.

Tummy Tuck Revision

Cute898734

Dr Chua, the Art of Plastic Surgery

I had a tummy tuck a little over a year ago and the doctor, who won't be named, did a terrible job. I ended up with a larger waist at 30 inches, a lumpy protruding stomach and my belly button looked weird, like if was sewn shut. I saw Dr Chua about a revision because the other doctor kept telling me that there was underlying fat under my stomach and it "was normal". It was clear he didn't want to do anything to fix it and by that time, I didn't want him to do anything else for me. I met with Dr Chua and after a long, extremely informative consultation we decided to do a tummy tuck revision, lipo 360 to address the lumpiness and unevenness and since we were taking out fat, added a bbl to put that fat in a better place. He was very thorough with the pre-op instructions and very clear that the surgery was his job but the recovery part was on me. Before surgery I jokingly told him that I would like to see my old 25 inch waist again. I have to admit that the first 2-3 weeks were tough. But a few days past 4 weeks, my waist was already at 26 1/2 inches!! So far, I am almost at 6 weeks and the results are amazing!! My tummy is flat, my waist is getting smaller, the lumpiness and unevenness is smoothed out and my belly button looks normal again. He is extremely professional, kind, caring, patient, answers any and all questions, and I Gould see that he really likes what he does. His staff is great but Daisy is wonderful. She constantly texted me and made sure I was comfortable with every step of the process, pre-op and post-op. I love my results now, and they are going to get better. THANK YOU DR. CHUA!!!!!

Gynecomastia Surgery

Dramatically helped improve my wellbeing!

As someone who has always been very active and in shape, Gynecomastia was one aspect of my body that I could not improve and it became really bothersome both mentally and physically. Dr. Chua was able to remove and correct the problematic areas and has dramatically helped improve my wellbeing! Highly recommend!
