Older Patient with Breast Implants
I was referred to Dr. Chen from my primary care doctor and I must say it has been a very pleasant experience. I am 75 years old and had a ruptured implant that was very old. Dr.Chen removed my old implants and inserted new ones. I did not even need to take any pain medication after surgery. I felt great the next day and no problems two weeks post op. Dr. Chen is very soft spoken, calm and cautious. She always answered all of my questions and I never felt rushed. Her follow up

Liposuction 360 (upper back & chest) & abs lipo & waist sculpting
I had become more self-conscious about my appearance and how my clothes fit. I reached out to Dr. Chen for a consultation and she explained what to expect in regards to the procedure and recovery afterwards as well as having realistic expectations of the outcome that can take up to 6 months to fully realize. I did it and I'm very pleased with the results. I feel more comfortable with the fit of my clothing. I'm not as self-conscious with my appearance. I actually enjoy shopping

I'm Glad I Got a Tummy Tuck
I decided to get a Tummy Tuck to fix a botched Liposuction from somewhere else. After I woke up from the surgery, I was in a little pain and discomfort. I arrived home, took some Tylenol and Xanax, and went to sleep. I was up the next morning and was able to vacuum my floor. I only took Tylenol for my pain after my Tummy Tuck! I was able to go back to work only after 4 days. Dr. Chen did a wonderful job with the tummy tuck surgery! She is experienced and knows what she is doing!

I am extremely happy with the results
I am so glad I got a tummy tuck with Dr. Chen. People cannot believe how good I look now without my big stomach. I am extremely happy with the results. Dr. Chen and her staff are great. Dr. Chen is attentive, compassionate, and a true professional. I love her work. I should have done this sooner.

Love my results - excited to continue my self care journey with her
I was hesitant in getting any work done for a while but it had been on my mind for a while. I was referred to Dr. Chen by a family member of mine. There are a few things I had in mind to do but wanted to start small, I had fillers done with Juviderm on my lips and other areas to help with lines. The results are amazing! Dr. Chen made me feel so comfortable and confident in her work. Definitely a returning patient for life! Excited to continue my self care journey with her.

BBL, tummy tuck & muscle repair in 1 surgery - recovery actually went quick
I was googling abdominal plasty surgeons and came across Dr Chens website. I liked the fact that Dr Chen is a reconstruction plastic surgeon and works with babies who have cleft palate issues. For me that was the reason I chose to have a consultation with her and not some cosmetic dr advertising for really cheap. My consultation went great and we were both on the same page as far as me having a diastasis and would need something more than just liposuction and a BBL. Although

Trust the process, the results will follow! 8 months post-op liposuction
Dr. Chen is amazing. She is knowledgeable and has excellent bed side manners. She takes the time to explain the procedures in detail and answers all the questions. Also, she takes into consideration price point and she even made sure the payment plan worked for me. Her staff at the hospital are also great and make sure that you understand the entire process. After the procedure Dr. Chen takes the time to personally call and check on you. Trust the process, the results will eventually

Great skin tag removal experience! Our son was born with skin tags by his ear
Dr. Joyce Chen is amazing. When our son was born with skin tags by his ear. We decided to look into surgical treatment options to remove the extra skin in the hopes that we could have the procedure done while he was an infant, thereby decreasing the general anesthetic route and risks. We tried in vain to obtain services through many pediatricians. They wanted us to wait until he was older and could undergo general anesthesia for the surgical removal of the skin tags. With how

Breast Fat Transfer - Love My Results
The idea of completely natural breast augmentation appealed to me and after meeting with Dr. Chen I felt very comfortable with her and decided to have her perform my lipo and breast fat transfer. Best decision ever. I love the way my body looks now. Dr. Chen takes pride in her work and cares for her patients. If you are considering having any procedure done, look no further. I've done my research and Dr. Chen is the doctor you want.

I’m very satisfied with the experience and especially the results
Dr Chen is the real deal. She is no non-sense to get you to your goal once she consults with you and come to an agreement of the goal. I’m very satisfied with the experience and especially the results which is what really matters to me. Also the cost was very reasonable.
