Christopher W. Chase, MD

I am beyond thrilled with the results of my tummy tuck from Dr. Chase. He is an exceptionally skilled and attentive surgeon, with an incredible eye for cosmetic detail. His calm, reassuring demeanor made me feel at ease throughout the entire process, and I am so grateful for the warmth and professionalism of his entire staff. Nurse Ashley deserves a special mention, as she conducted all my post-op visits and was amazing from start to finish.

After struggling with loose skin from childhood and teenage obesity, I spent much of my 20s feeling self-conscious and uncomfortable in my own body. Choosing Dr. Chase and his team for my procedure was truly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Thanks to their expertise, I now feel empowered and at peace in my skin. The transformation has been life-changing, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome!

Getting it right the 5th time. Lessons learned.

BA #1 1996. From AA to almost B. 300cc silicone.Living in a large city with many choices of plastic surgeons. Did you know that teaching hospitals will perform BA’s at a reduced rate? That a plastic surgery specialty is one of the longest and most intense practice?
My surgery was perfect and symmetrical.

BA #2 2008. 20 years later. Weight gain. This time I picked out the size I wanted. 500cc. Ivy League doctor. I wake up and start to cry. He inserted 375’s. I am a big girl. The girls look smaller than BA#1. The doctor thought the smaller implants looked more proportioned. HIS version of an esthetic, not mine. I made him do a Mulligan, but I had to wait 2 months.
I now have 500’s. BA# 3. I am still unhappy.

BA#4 2015. I now live in Florida. I am 65 years old. New husband. Many plastic surgeons to choose from. Once again we look at size options. We decide on 625. The price is ridiculous $15k, but we move forward. Once again, a decent job. Proportioned. But the incremental difference is unnoticable. The outcome is disappointing. My doctor says nothing.

BA#5 2020. I now live in Tennessee. Good surgeons hard to find. Add Covid to the mix. Lots of demand. Very little supply.
Long waits for appts. I travel a great distance to Memphis. I am now 70 yo. Too old for yet another BA? I am told I need an internal bra. And webbing. Estimated cost is over $22,000. Office is rude and disinterested. Doctors are qualified but eccentric.

This is where RealSelf was instrumental in setting up appointments. And yes, there is a God. I find Dr.Chase. Located at the opposite end of Tennessee.s Office staff is great. Dr.Chase actually listens. Cute office. On site surgery center. We talk size. The largest silicon in the preferred brand is 800cc. I want them. At 5’9”and 165lbs, they are not too large. Dr. Chase did a fabulous job. A combination of under & over muscle.He worked within my time schedule. He gave me what I wanted. The girls are perfect. He listened. !!!

It took over 35 years to get it right. Do not give up. Do not give in.

Sorry this review is so late.

Dr. Christopher Chase is the most amazing doctor. I can't say enough good things about him and is wonderful staff. Throughout the entire process (Tummy Tuck) he was very nice and caring, while explaining everything to me and listening and answering any questions or concerns I had. My Surgery was a MAJOR SUCESS , I LOVE The way I LOOK!!!!!!! The entire staff was always so sweet and fun and caring, I felt so happy and comfortable with all of them. I recommend Dr. Chase to anyone wanting to have Cosmetic Surgery, in my opinion he is the VERY BEST!!!

I truly appreciate Dr. Chase and his wonderful staff and I LOVE the difference and the look of my body... And if I have any future cosmetic surgeries I will be going back to Dr. Chase.

Thank you, Dr. Chase and your wonderful staff at Associates In Plastic Surgery in Chattanooga, Tn.

Dr. Chase is an amazing surgeon.

I went to him for a tummy tuck and mastopexy/breast reduction.

I can’t tell you how pleased I am at only 4 and half weeks post surgery. He exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend Dr. Chase to anyone looking for the best plastic surgeon. He was always very thorough and listened to provide the best possible care for me.

His staff is amazing and always so concerned and sweet and I look forward to seeing them. The surgery has been well worth it for me.

Dr Chase was very informative during my recent tummy tuck consultation and all of the staff makes you feel very welcome and are super friendly! His before and after results are amazing! I highly recommend him to anyone.

I've wanted to get a breast reduction since... probably for about the last 15 years. The only thing I can think about is, that before now, it was not meant to happen. Here I am, mid 40's in age, a size 36 JJ (maybe a little smaller since I lost 50 pounds) but still very top-heavy.
I am like many here in my boob history (I've always been boob-a-licious) so I won't bore you with all of that. Just know that I finally have the right insurance (that doesn't have an exclusionary clause), the right doctor and I've lost enough weight to see that my boobs would not decrease in size without surgery... I'm so excited and tons of fear/anxiety.

Long story short... I had my surgery on 11/14/19. Had to check in at 5:30am; surgery began on time at 8:30am... Surgery lasted 4 hours and I was in recovery for a couple hours. I was in pain as we headed home but Tylenol took the edge off so we could get my pain medication and Oral antibiotics. Believe it or not, I was a bit hungry when I got home and ate soup/bread... then I drifted off to La-la-land for the rest of the night.
Fast forward to 3am: I thought I could get to the restroom alone. My husband was sleeping and my mom was upstairs. Well, I passed out in the bathroom. Not sure if it was from the anesthesia or pain or what... not a great feeling.
Word to the wise... for the first few days, you will need help completing your activities of daily living.
Oh... I have drains and doctor said I would get them removed in a week. I added a couple before pics...two of which were when I was in the hospital right before my surgery.

So about day 4-5, I had to decide between pain management and going to the potty... the anesthesia and pain meds can certainly make “movement” very difficult. I was in so much pain (trying to go to the potty), I thought I was going to have to go back to the hospital for help. It was so bad that I kept thinking “I worked hard to lose weight to get under a 34 BMI, had a successful breast reduction as far as I could tell, and now I’m going to pass away right here in the bathroom.” Soooo funny but not funny. I was able to get some relief by staying hydrated... stool softeners, a colon cleanser and an enema. Omg. Sorry for all the details but I’m telling you that the struggle was real. My advice to everyone: stay ahead of the pain but taking Tylenol instead of the Rx pain meds might be just as effective. And drink lots of water....

Hi all... I am posting pics that were taken about 14 days post op (so about 11/28/19)
I have another appointment tomorrow and I’m sure they will remove a couple more sutures sticking out... I’m a little concerned as I don’t want any openings. So I’m being prayerful...

As I have gotten older, I noticed some volume loss in my face, giving me a gaunt appearance. Using Sculptra, Dr Chase has been able to replace enough volume in all the right areas to give me the healthy, more youthful appearance I had a few years ago.

Dr. Chase and his staff are awesome! They have taken great care of me and addressed all.of my concerns. My results are far beyond what I expected. Anytime I have a question they are quick to answer even if it is in the middle of the night. I highly recommend him! Thank you Dr. Chase and staff!

Done my consult 11/01/2018 with Dr. Chase! He was wonderful and so were his staff. He listens and addresses all concerns while giving feedback as to what is the best for you. We decided on 450cc (maybe higher) moderate mentor silicone implants. I’m already a DD but I’ve breastfed 2 children so I’ve lost all volume!

Same day as surgery! One of these include my before photo. I originally decided on 425 cc hpx profile. I ended up getting a 650 in one breast and a 700 in the other and only high profile instead. dr. Chase tried different implants while I was under to determine what would best suit my body and give me the results I was wanting.

One day post op. Had to wash my bra Bc it had some blood on it and also change my gauze. Steri strips are still on. I’m also taking antibiotics, pain medication as needed, at night I take Tylenol pm so I can save my pain meds and get some rest. I’m not hurting as bad as I originally was the day of surgery. My chest still feels really tight and it’s difficult to yawn or take a deep breath.

I had my old saline implants removed from 16 years ago and replaced with silicone and a breast lift..in March of this year went from a D cup to a full C
I Love my results... I have healed beautifully...you cannot see my scars...
Dr Chase is the very Best and his staff is as well !
Would highly recommend this Group.
