James Chan, MD

I lurked on Realself for quite awhile-until I couldn't stand what I saw facing me in the mirror-not matching how I felt inside. Contemplated going out of state (where I could "vacation" while I recovered, unseen by coworkers) but ultimately went to Dr Chan at Reviance. I will say that Dr Chan's team at Reviance and the kind staff at Mt Scott Surgery Center-made this while not exactly fun, at least doable. I went back to work at a week and a half. Bruising was minimal, pain well-controlled, although it felt like my ears had been taken off and sewn on backwards. It has now been 2.5 years since my lower facelift and necklift, and while I still have a couple of spots on my cheeks and jawline that are numbish when I touch them, the tight neckband feeling is gone. Doing this procedure has done wonders for my self-confidence. I didn't get a facelift that had oddly pulled skin, or that makes me look unnaturally 25 years younger. I look like me, but without the jowls and turkey neck. (surgery completed August of 2022)

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Chan and his team and am absolutely thrilled with my results!
 
I had a chin implant with submental liposuction and ultherapy with Dr. Chan November of last year. I had two consultations, one with Dr. Chan’s assistant Yvonne, and another with Dr. Chan 2 weeks before my surgery date. Both Yvonne and Dr. Chan listened attentively to my concerns and desired results before recommending treatment options. I was previously recommended a neck lift by another surgeon, and Yvonne advised that that wouldn’t be necessary to achieve the results I was looking for. I really appreciated her honesty since it saved me from a much more invasive procedure as well as additional cost! Dr. Chan was also incredibly patient and thorough in answering my (many) questions. He listened attentively and asked clarifying questions to make sure we were on the same page about what I was looking for. He also showed me some chin implant samples so we could work together in choosing the best shape size for my anatomy.
 
The procedures themselves were incredibly quick and virtually painless – I underwent all 3 procedures in one visit under light sedation. Shae, who performed ultherapy on my chin and neck, was so kind and knowledgeable. The ultherapy was only slightly uncomfortable as my pain meds hadn’t fully kicked in yet, but the pain was still very minimal and manageable. Shae made friendly conversation the whole time and made sure I was comfortable. Next, Dr. Chan performed my submental liposuction and chin implant surgery. He was again very careful to make sure I wasn’t in any pain and gave additional lidocaine shots when necessary. From start to finish, all 3 procedures took under an hour, which I attribute to the team’s skill and experience.
 
Recovery was easy and uneventful. I was able to return to work the day after my surgery (I primarily WFH), as I didn’t need any prescription pain meds after the first day and felt surprisingly normal. I was visibly swollen and bruised for the first week or so but felt absolutely no pain. In my experience, the worst parts of recovery were wearing the compression garment and sleeping slightly upright – which isn’t bad at all! I returned to in-office work after about a week with some concealer to hide the remaining bruising, and while I thought I still looked a little odd at that point, none of my coworkers made any comments. All visible swelling and bruising were completely gone within two weeks.
 
Lastly, I am in love with my results – I have always been a bit insecure about my weak chin and wanted a stronger jawline and slimmer neck. Dr. Chan knocked it out of the park by giving me the definition I was looking for while still looking incredibly natural and complementing my existing features. I still look like myself, but more ‘balanced’ and attractive version of myself! My only regret is not starting the process sooner. I would highly recommend Dr. Chan and Reviance to anyone interested in a chin implant or facial cosmetic surgery in general.

Dr Chan did a wonderful job with my Mini Facelift. The turkey neck look was gone! I also had laser resurfacing done. My skin was smooth and soft afterwards. Free of all blemishes.

I highly recommend Dr. Chan and their staff!

I had a brow lift and upper eyelid blepharoplasty with Dr. Chan a month ago and I could not be happier. The results are amazing and he and his entire office staff have been wonderful to deal with this entire time. I will be coming back to him for my face lift in a few years. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Updating pictures with before and after pictures of my temporal brow lift and upper eyelid blepharoplasty one month after surgery with Dr. James Chan. I couldn't be happier and my scars are getting better every day.

I would give Dr. Chan 10 stars if I could! I had a revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Chan earlier this month, and am super happy with the result.

I am moving out of state for a new job and hoped to fix my nose before the move. Dr Chan's office worked with my schedule and was able to fit me into the doctor's schedule under short notice.

My initial rhinoplasty was done overseas. Recently I have been experiencing a lot of breathing / running nose issues. I also had some nasal trauma and the tip of my nose looked crooked and swelling. I went to Dr. Chan hoped to fix those breathing issues, refind the tip of my nose and add some projection. Dr. Chan had a very thorough consultation with me, listed a few options, explained the risks, and even did a before-after simulation on his computer.

On the day of the procedure, Dr. Chan. greeted me and went through our surgical plans with me again before I went into the operating room, it gave me a lot of peace of mind. The procedure went extremely well. The staff from Dr. Chan's office and surgical center followed up with me several times after the procedure to make sure my recovery was going well.

After the procedure, my post-op pain and swelling were minimal. It's only been 3 weeks post op, and I'm already super happy with the result! I noticed more projection and refinement on the tip of my nose just like what I wanted. My nose no longer looks crooked. Most importantly, my breathing problem is finally gone! I can finally get a good night's sleep without having to use a nasal spray 5 times a night.

I want to thank Dr. Chan and his staff for being so professional, accommodating, and approachable. Dr. Chan is a truly skilled surgeon and I am so thrilled with my experience. I highly recommend Dr. Chan if you are considering rhinoplasty or revision rhinoplasty!

Kelsey Landers , Dr James Chan's new injectionist is everything you would expect from a member of his extremely talented team. My recent Botox/Filler treatment was all that I could have hoped for & I would highly recommend her to anyone considering any of the treatments offered by "Reviance".She obviously has a depth of understanding of facial anatomy & is totally equipped to administer injectables to produce a result that will delight any of her clients. I am thrilled with my outcome & look forward to discussing with her further options/treatments I might consider. Of course, that Dr Chan included her onto his team should be sufficient recommendation since his standards are of the highest & he would never hire anyone that did not meet those. Again ,thankyou & welcome Kelsey ,you now have me as one of your regular clients. Norma Evan-Williams

I recently had a face and neck lift (rhytidectomy) with Dr. James Chan in Portland, Oregon. I cannot express how glad I am that I choose him to be my doctor. He and his amazing team not only met my expectations, but went far above. He spent a lot of time making sure I understood what to expect, and thoroughly answered the many questions I had. The overall process (including the recovery) was very smooth due to his diligence in ensuring I was prepared. I would recommend Dr. Chan without hesitation for the best results you could ask for.

I saw Dr. Chan in November 2019 for 4 procedures on the same day. I am a 50 year old woman who had liposuction on my neck/chin plus ultherapy to help lift and tighten my sagging skin after the liposuction. I also did the IPL laser treatment to help with my brown spots and broken capillaries. Lastly, I had the CO2 laser treatment to remove a large, brown flat mole from my temple. Full results for the liposuction and ultherapy procedures are definitely somewhat noticeable immediately but total results are 6 months to a year. The best part is that the liposuction is PERMANENT (unless you gain weight)! I have already received compliments from people who noticed something more youthful about me but didn't know what I had done. THAT'S the sign of superior results!! I am SO excited to see the full results in time! Besides my complete enthusiasm for the procedures, the staff are amazing, friendly, professional and accommodating! Dr. Chan is one of the ABSOLUTE BEST doctors I have ever seen! His bedside manner is ABOVE AND BEYOND! He is so kind, patient, caring, empathetic, and he is EXCEPTIONAL at what he does. My husband and I have also seen him for ENT issues (Mt Scott ENT) and for the first time since he was a teenager, my husband can breathe out of his nose again! I highly recommend Dr. Chan and his staff for any plastic surgery/aesthetic or ENT procedures.

Prior to treatment, my jawline was non existent. Currently at an average weight, but even at my thinnest, due to genetics I had a prominent double chin. It's only been a month and a half post OP, and I can see a huge improvement! I'm so happy I decided to research this thoroughly and go through with it! I can't wait to continue seeing results. I still have a small dip under my chin. I'm hoping that continues to dissipate, but even if these were the final results I believe it would be worth it!

Dr. Chan and his staff went above and beyond to provide me with information and giving great service resulting in the best experience I could have ever asked for. First off, I live 3 hours away in a small rural town so Tia, one of the Patient Care Coordinators, arranged for me to send in photos for Dr. Chan to look over and give me feedback on the procedures I was interested in so I wouldn't have to drive 6 hours round trip for a consultation. Once I made my decision on which procedure I was wanting to proceed with, Tia kept in touch with me to make sure I was prepared for the appointment. When finally at my appointment, Dr. Chan and Yvonne made me feel so comfortable by answering all the questions I had and making sure I was able to get all services (I added botox and lip fillers) by offering some discounts for the multiple services. My major procedure, chin/jaw lipo, was what I was most excited about. It has only been a little over a month and a half and I am so happy with the progress and results so far! I will be forever grateful and so happy I made the decision to choose Dr. Chan and his staff!

Thank you soooo much to Dr Chan and his girls —-Julie, Elle, Kayla, Jess, and Kia.
I’ve been seeing them for 4-5 years being a VIP in which I’ve kept my face looking healthy and younger with facials, chemical peels, micro needling, Botox, fillers and now
last week did a mini face lift.
They have all helped me with their professionalism, caring, knowledge to be happy with my face and neck. I get soooo many compliments all the time from my patients and my friends.
I have to share now how surprised with my results of my face lift surgery. I was a little nervous about doing it but Dr Chan is unbelievable!!!! I can’t believe my results and I am so surprised and soooo HAPPY!!! I highly recommend this procedure and anything they do! I have sent many people to him because of how happy I am and the results they gave given me.
I want to thank you ALL and thank you soooo much Dr Chan .....you make people feel so good
