Feng Chong, MD

Since I was in my early teens, I have always wanted to get a boob job because I'm on the flat side and petite (didn't help), which made me feel "unwomanly". It really hurt my self esteem and I always told myself one day I was going to get my boobs done. That day came October 2nd, 2024!! 2 weeks later I'm still trying to take it all in lol, I can't believe it's finally happened

After have two children at an older age, my body had changed significantly. I also had severe abdominal separation. After doing extensive research, I decided to travel to Edmonton for a Mommy Makeover with Dr. Chong and I am so glad that I did! Dr. Chong has a very calm disposition and him and his team always made me feel safe and that I would be well taken care of. I have since had a second procedure (additional liposuction) with Dr. Chong. I am absolutely thrilled with my results.

I desperately wanted relief from my heavy my breasts. I did not qualify for any coverage, although I was suffering from neck and back pain as well as chronic headaches. After pregnancy and nursing 3 children my breasts were enlarged, sagging and too large for my frame. I reached out to Dr. Chong to help lift and lighten me. I know I was not interested in implants as I have a great deal of dense tissue. Following his in person pre surgery consult he agreed.
I was able to get a consultation on a cancellation basis. Dr. Chong offered similar advice and options as other doctors at the initial telephone consultation. However I find his work to be far more superior than other surgeries in my area. He is the best!! I am so happy that I chose him as my doctor. My only disappointment in the entire process is that for the money I spent I would have preferred to be seen in person for consultation and follow up appointments. I feel this is a process that should be reconsidered in his practice. All his work is considered “cosmetic only”.

I'm super happy with the results I received from Dr. Chong and his team. They surpassed my expectations more than I ever dreamed. I'm endlessly grateful to them for their expertise. Scheduled appointments were looked forward to thanks to them being remarkably professional and kind. Thank you

I’ve been looking high and low for small breast lifts and it’s not very common so I knew I had to post mine.
I was originally a 34B . I lost 30 pounds in 3 months in my early 20’s and it affected the appearance of my breasts and worsened with age . I was very deflated and it was uncomfortable. I finally decided to get a lift over an augmentation after years of research and 4 different consultations / quotes .
I’m extremely happy with my decision and my result .
I couldn’t find anywhere if you could choose or request what ‘cookie cutter’ size you wanted for your areola’s , and my surgeon only had two sizes but I requested even smaller and he did it.
I woke up from the procedure in a ton of pain and vomited when I got home . But with pain meds that night into the next day , I feel perfect. Not sore or tender. The bra is tight and I’m wearing compression stockings too for blood circulation . Sleeping on my back isn’t an issue like I expected either .

Updated on 30 Oct 2021:
Second day with no pain medication .
I lay in bed after showers to make sure everything is dry before putting back on my compression bra .
No concerns . Still reminding myself to be careful since I feel like I have full range of movement without compromising my surgery .

Updated on 3 Nov 2021:
Patiently waiting to see my results without the tape . I can’t believe my breasts don’t look like 2 balls in a sock when I lean over. I no longer feel the hardness of the swelling. I finally washed my own hair without any assistance a day ago . ( post op instruction was 10 days before raising arms above head)
So exciting to wake up and take a peek at the changes. I won’t update again until the tape is off .

Updated on 6 Nov 2021:
3 days shy of two weeks ! Im hoping this beautiful roundness stays put ! Im told to keep tape on for 6 months . There’s something to be said about paper tape and scars . As they peel off I reapply . There may be a delay in seeing them without tape because I need this to go right . Haha .
We’ll see !
No complaints :)

Updated on 7 Nov 2021:
Got brave and peeled the tape off for a peak as it was coming loose from my shower .
I’m so happy about the length of it and it looks like it will heal nicely . I retaped it for now but hopefully when the tape comes off around my nipple , I’ll be able to share a photo of it bare

Updated on 8 Nov 2021:
Ok I did it . I removed the tape from my nipples to take a picture !
What I want you to know is that I asked my surgeon to make my nipples as small as possible - so when I seen how small these were I was the most happy . That the thing I find in most reviews that people don’t talk about so I’m here to tell you - YOU CAN ASK ! you don’t need to keep the same size and you should probably be aware what cookie cutter sizes your surgeon has . These exceed my expectations, which is what you want . Going in knowing what you want and expect and not coming out disappointment .

Updated on 13 Nov 2021:
I changed over all my paper tape today so I thought I’d add an update .
No complaints ! I took my tape off and gave my chest an extra cleanse - you will see in a photo that my scar is yellow but it’s because I put Betadine on it when I was washing so I must have missed a spot. There are still some stitches in tact for now. But I finally have a photo with all tape removed ! Still can’t believe how they look .

Updated on 19 Nov 2021:
So , I got out of the shower last night and wanted to give my scars some extra TLC. The Polysporin I was instructed to buy for post op healing read : helps speed healing, minimizes scarring, prevents infection .
I figured I put the ointment on under my tape . Immediately it was itchy but I went on to bed thinking nothing of it . I woke up today and my boobs are itchy and blotchy . I had to wash my chest and bra right away . I just wanted to post this as a warning to sample your ointments before leaving it on your chest for 8 hours .

Updated on 24 Nov 2021:
Definitely missing the swelling today haha .
My ‘rash’ or whatever is mostly gone and things are healing nicely . My under boob is pretty red still but not itchy at all .

My stitches are still in though , has anyone else had there stitches for a while ?

Also - my bra is considerably loose now - especially at the shoulders . I’ve already adjusted them to the max . If someone could comment on their experience in that regard it would be helpful !

Updated on 26 Nov 2021:
Week 4 : My skin has never been sensitive but I sent these photos to my surgeons receptionist and she told me I was reacting to the tape . I did purchase the most sensitive one too .
The amount of itch is indescribable . I was instructed to take some Benedryl and leave the tape off for two weeks and I’m soooo happy to do so . Just wanted to stay transparent during this process . It’s not all glamorous haha

Updated on 1 Dec 2021:
Things always get worse before they get better . After a few allergy pills and a lot of hydrocortisone cream , the itchy-ness comes and goes . You can see that it was clearly a reaction to the tape now and my skin is extremely dry. If anyone has experienced this and has an alternative to use please let me know. I’m using the bandaid brand extra sensitive tape . I’m going to sample the no name next . I don’t care how my scars look , but I’d prefer to have optimal results if I can help it .

Updated on 6 Dec 2021:
The rash is finally improving. The whisker stitches are gone but there’s still 2 stitches remaining on the bottom of my areola. My left breast is not as round but should soften and round out with time .

My compression bra doesn’t fit at all anymore. It’s loose in the cup and the shoulders . I’m looking into what I should do next for that . Comment if you’ve been through that . Looking forward to wearing a backless dress over the holiday :)

Updated on 11 Dec 2021:
Now that I’m approaching the end of my recovery time , I’m not going to post until a 6 month mark .
What a journey ! Love waking up everyday to peek at these new bewbs!
Here’s a little collage of the journey :)

Updated on 8 Feb 2022:
Dr recommended that I still wear the tape that I originally had a reaction to, so my scars get more red . I have to wear them for 2 more months. I left them off all day today to take a photo. I still wear my surgical bra to bed and a softer sports bra during the day .
I’m a little concerned with the skin fold under my right breast because the scar crease. On the right is perfect but the breast itself is more square . I’m going to be patient and let healing and settling so it’s thing for a year when it’s finally settled . I miss the swelling , but I’m still super pleased and wearing backless shirts and dresses has been life changing, honestly .
Updated on 11 Feb 2022:
See profile for photos!

Awesome experience . Dr. Chong met all my requests and addressed my concerns. The results exceeded my expectations - he lifted higher than predicted and reduced areolas. Scars are minimal.



Updated on 24 Apr 2022:
Got some jewellery for the new girls today for my 6 month anniversary approaching in 2 days . The scars are still red and I’m hoping they fade in the next 6 months . If anyone has any tips for fading scars let me know ! I’ve heard bio oil and red light therapy . I’m not too concerned because this seems like a natural progression for scars , but if I can speed up the process I would.

Updated on 25 May 2022:
I can’t begin to tell you how much I love this freedom . I’m not uncomfortable sitting bra-less and I don’t have restrictions buying cute clothes . I really wish I did this in my 20’s but I’m glad I took the 10 years to research fully what I wanted without any external influences .

Updated on 16 Oct 2022:
Before my one year boobiversary photo, I wanted to post this photo to show how they fall naturally in clothes I’ve been longing to wear .
It’s enough for me!
As much as I love them, I still think about implants especially with how much I spent on just a lift - but health trumps beauty everytime. If I were a little more risky I’d love to experience it but my natural body works just fine for now .

Updated on 30 Oct 2022:
So, it’s been a couple days since my boobiversary and I have new photos for you all . The scars have healed nicely in my opinion and I’m happy overall . Funny thing about my surgery - I had my nipple pierced before surgery and it left a scar. I had let it grow over for some time . But now that my lift happened , the scar is more at the top of the nipple instead of the side . It’s super funny to me. Has anyone else experienced this?

Updated on 12 Feb 2023:
So I managed to get a pretty good photo of the time I had from a horizontal nipple ring before this surgery . Just goes to show that when they “sew” back your nipple — it might end up the wrong way , haha .
Notice the little white diagonal dots in my nipples where the ring was previously

Updated on 7 Jun 2023:
Finally got fitted for a real bra today since I have been going free for a long time . I was measured as a 34A ! A!!!!?? Woah , never thought that day would come. I went from a full C - lost weight to a B - after surgery an A . I bought a push up and clearly have some volume left .. but if an A can look this good in and out of a bra - I think a small boob lift is worth it .

No fault of my surgeon, he was great and my incisions are almost invisible at 4 weeks. I'm 5'2" 100lbs and I got 375 and 400 cc (I was smaller on the right initially) and I feel like I look like a football player. They're still very high and swollen so I'm hoping when they drop I'll feel better about my decision.

Updated on 25 Jul 2021:
So the left is starting to drop (finally lol). Right is still high and both are still a bit swollen, but I think I see improvement. Feeling a bit better and trying to be patient, it's not really in my nature, but I'm working on it lol.

Updated on 2 Aug 2021:
Still a little uneven and high on the right side, the left is looking much better. Still feeling a bit uncertain and insecure about the size, but I've bought a few new outfits that I never could have worn prior in order to cheer myself up and the retail therapy had definitely helped lol.

I've always had genetically saggy boobs like this I hated how they looked and it was always super hard for me to get intimate with someone. Was also insecure about how big my nipples were I personally didn't like it.


Updated on 19 Apr 2021:
I got this surgery because I've genetically always had saggy boobs I felt super insecure and I had bigger nipples which I didn't like. I did lots of research and I feel confident about my decision. I am 22 and 154 pounds.

Pain has been bearable! Been recovering amazing mostly been sleeping due to the pain meds went on a small walk and feeling great! Was a Little Hard at First sleeping on my back comfortably but I got it sorted out I regret nothing and I love how they are looking

Updated on 21 Apr 2021:
Feeling pretty normal again not in any pain just itchy where the stitches are

Updated on 5 May 2021:
Overall been feeling really great the pain is super moderate. Also having weird nerve pain and soreness the hardest thing I think is sleeping on my back because I’m such a stomach sleeper but it’s totally worth it I am absolutely in love with how they are looking.

Updated on 13 May 2021:
So unfortunately when the tape finally started to fall of I was shocked with what I saw. It was very scary I contacted the office right away sent an email and within minutes his lead receptionist called me and told me this is super normal and I’m going to have to put Polysporin antibiotics on it and to stop putting tape on it and cover with gauze she said it was not infected. I still had a bad feeling so I went to the ER and the ER doctor took one look and said it was infected. I had to get iv antibiotics and went back to the hospital to get an iv antibiotic pump for 2 days. The ER plastic surgery resident on call said it’s super normal for it to open at the T part where the 2 incisions meet but not for it to get infected.. I was super discouraged and upset because I wasn’t expecting to have such a complication but I still have no regrets about the surgery and would do it again. The wound is closing up nicely after the hospital visit they cleaned it for me and looks a lot better since the antibiotics. I just wanted to share this and was completely aware of all the risks and complications from this surgery like I said I regret nothing and am still proud with my decision of picking Dr.Chong.

Updated on 22 May 2021:
Healing well after the infection finally feeling better again, first time seeing them without tape I can’t believe these are my boobs omg

Updated on 11 Jun 2021:
Finally all done healing! The recovery has been the hardest part but I regret nothing my confidence is through the roof. Dr.Chong is so sweet I am so glad I picked him to be my surgeon and his team has been amazing also. (: this will be my last update for awhile

I have wanted a breast lift (no implants) since I was 14, genetically and since I lost 45 pounds my breasts were very saggy and I had big nipples which I personally did not like. My shoulders always hurt from holding the sagging breasts up. I saved up and finally got the surgery done yesterday, at 21 years old and 155 pounds while being 5'8. I believe I was a full 36 D cup. My doctor has lifted my breasts along with a slight reduction to a Full B cup to C he said.

Updated on 4 Mar 2021:
The pain meds have been helping tremendously, it’s a very bearable pain. The pictures might look very painful but it’s normal, I had a follow up phone call with Dr. Chong and sent these exact pictures, everything is looking good so far! I have been sleeping elevated on 5-6 pillows and have set an alarm for every 4 hours to take my pain meds. Yesterday I walked 1 km slowly and felt good. My appetite is huge right now probably because of the healing and today I will try to walk 2km.

Updated on 4 Mar 2021:
After these pics I will be doing weekly to bi weekly updates. Day 3 is apparently the worst for pain, it feels like a 2/10 when I’m sitting stationary and about a 4-5/10 when moving etc. Keep in mind this is with meds every 4 hours. I showered today, with the help of a friend to shower my hair as I didn’t want to risk popping open any stitches. I am able to do most things myself that do not require lifting the arms.
Feel free to ask any questions as I myself had a lot but was unable to find such detailed reviews on here.

Updated on 8 Mar 2021:
The bruising has gone down a lot. The pain meds have been giving me nausea and headaches the past two days so I am planning on not taking them anymore and seeing how the pain is.

Updated on 14 Mar 2021:
The steri strips are falling off now, I will replace them with paper tape as instructed by Dr. Chong.
The scars are so minimal I am shocked.
There is some bleeding or drainage from the left underside, I think it’s normal as the post op sheet said some drainage is normal but I will reach out if there is any weird pain or puss etc. Fingers crossed for fast healing.
Definitely recommend this.

Updated on 24 Mar 2021:
Not really too sure what’s going on to be honest. Maybe part of the healing process maybe not. I have reached out to their office and sent pictures, but trying to keep it as honest as possible on here.
That’s the underside of both of my incisions, I ended up going to the ER to get swabbed to make sure there’s no infection and there isn’t. Will keep this updated. I just want to heal.

Updated on 3 Apr 2021:
My little complication is healing up due to Dr. chong’s advice and an angel who reached out in the comments with some advice on how to speed up the healing! There is no more nerve pain, slight itchiness still, but the drainage and bleeding has stopped. I will start to tape up all parts of the incisions now. There is still slight pain to touch on the breast area but I have regained all feeling in the nipples. We’re back on track for now :)

Updated on 25 Apr 2021:
Maybe a 1/10 pain occasionally now. I am able to sleep on my side. They feel super natural and look amazing to me. Almost at 8 weeks post op.

Here are my before photos, I've been waiting since July for this lift and it's scheduled for February 2021. Too early to get excited? I think NOT!
I've chosen just a breast lift only because I didn't want anything foreign in my body. It was definitely a hard decision to make.

Updated on 17 Feb 2021:
The pain is bearable and this was taken 1 DPO.

Updated on 18 Feb 2021:
It’s been a week and I feel amazing. I know it will take 6 months to a year to see final results but I am already so pleased. I am pretty mobile already and in 3 days will be able to lift my arms above my head!

This is my first post after stalking this page for a year. I have carefully selected a provider and feel good (today at least). I don't think I can look at any more boobs lol! I so appreciate all of you for posting on here.
I have one chikd who older now and I am athletic. I really want to compliment my body and have a more natural result that I can play up or play down for work. Based on my measurements and my small 34B I was offered various sizes, all Mentor HP, 325, 350, 375 and 400cc. PS suggested 400cc. We agreed and I left feeling unsure with the size. And because overthinking is what I do, I called back to change to 350cc......and then a week later went back to 375cc. A meet in the middle. I know that it's unlikely to make much difference but I think this will suit me best.
My surgery date is coming up in 5 days and I am counting down. Looking forward to it being done. Excited. Nervous. Everything in between. Thank you for all the tips on here for recovery I think I'm ready!

Updated on 27 Jan 2021:
Surgery is in 13 hours and I can’t wait. I can’t believe the time has finally come. After tons of reading I feel as ready as I’ll ever be. Thank you to everyone who has shared their story! It has been so incredibly helpful.
I celebrated my little boobies today. Said thank you and goodbye! Looking so forward to having new boobs tomorrow.
Wonder if I will sleep at l tonight??

Updated on 28 Jan 2021:
Surgery is finally done after months of planning, reading and waiting. The wait was the worst part.
I am so impressed with the care I received from Dr Chong and his team. From the moment I walked in the door to discharge it was so easy and quick. Surgery was at 12:15pm and I was out the door at 1:45pm. I had 375cc HP mentor sub muscular.
Overall the pain is about a 5/10. Feels like pressure and tightness. Like I completed an intense chest workout. The girls are riding high! Almost square like. My partner almost fell over when I showed him. But I reassured him it’s all part of the process.
I bought a back support pillow with arms and a neck pillow for sleeping. This is by far the best prep item I bought. Sleeping will be a challenge for me, I am a major side sleeper.
So happy I made this decision. Can’t wait for the D&F.
Updated on 1 Feb 2021:
I had a few other consultations prior to selecting my surgeon. After my first consultation with Dr Chong I knew he was the one for me. Very knowledgeable, smart and caring. He answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. The office team is also wonderful. Mackenzie and Nakita handle everything with great care.

I went back and forth on the sizing with Nakita and she was so gracious and patient. Surgery was super easy and the post op care has been amazing. I am thrilled with my results. Not sure why I waited so long to do this. Thank you Dr Chong, Nakita and Mackenzie for making this such a great experience.



Updated on 2 Feb 2021:
I have read a lot of other peoples journeys and most seemed to have recovered quickly and with little pain. While I know everyone heals on their own time I feel like time is barely moving. I still feel like I had an intense chest work out. I am very sore, lots of swelling and tightness. I do however have good range of motion with my arms which is plus. I am still taking narcotics at night as this seems to be the worst. Sleep has been so hard. I feel kind of blue. Which is weird. I chose to do this! I should be so happy. I go back to work tomorrow. So I am hoping that I see some improvement in the next 24 hours.
My girls are still really high. PS warned me so I know it’s normal. Also my sternum and incision line is extremely bruised. I think this is a lot of my discomfort.
As always thank you to everyone who posts on here. It’s been an important part of my journey.

Updated on 6 Feb 2021:
This has been a longer recovery for me personally. I have been really sore and swollen. Plus I am my own worst enemy. Back to work full time on day 6, trying to maintain a household and be a Mom. My body has been telling me that I was doing too much too soon. If you are reading this pre-augmentation PLEASE rest and plan to take a full 7 days off. Even if you feel good, your body needs rest and TLC!
Finally today I turned the corner and feel better. Bruising is subsiding and I feel a little more normal in my body. My right one is still super high and slow to drop. However I can slowly see some changes. Look forward to seeing them drop more!

Updated on 11 Feb 2021:
I have hit the two week mark. Slowly seeing some shape take form! I feel way less tightness but wow is my right one sensitive! Although they are taking their sweet time dropping I am feeling better. Still hate sleeping on my back. I keep trying to turn on my side. My tail bone goes numb.
Also I really miss working out. My PS is strict with 8 weeks before workouts can resume. These next 6 weeks are going to be hard.
I have zero bras besides my sweet surgical bras (those are just the worst) and a couple sports bras. I wonder when is the right time to shop for new ones?

Updated on 18 Feb 2021:
Not a lot of change for me this week. My right breast is extremely sensitive. I think it is nerve pain but even the bra against my skin hurts. It’s driving me crazy. I also still have some numb spots above my incision. Which look great! I was pleasantly surprised to see how well they are healing.
I feel slightly discouraged by how high and tight they are still. I know it’s a game of patience. I did however have some fun trying on bras and tops.
Hoping this next week brings some more changes.

Updated on 25 Mar 2021:
I am so happy to be at the two month post op mark. For me this means I get clearance to do allllll the things I have missed. Working out, sleeping on my sides, wearing a real bra!! I have my post op check up next Tuesday.
My right side is still high and has not fully dropped. I literally wake up every day and look to see if it has overnight lol. Will wait to see what PS says however he will likely tell me it’s a process, I am still healing and to give it more time. I can see that it is rounding out but it’s so slow. The left one, it looks great.
The advice was to keep paper tape on my scars for 5-6 months. I have to say my incisions look amazing. So small and they have healed nice. Ladies paper tape is a miracle worker for scars.
I no longer have any pain and they are softer by the day. Starting to feel much better in my own skin. I am super happy with my size. I will admit that some times I have boob greed (who doesn’t) but I wouldn’t change a thing. They are easy to dress down or play up.
