I am a 61-year-old Asian woman. For a year now I have been wanting to get my hooded eyes refreshed as well as my under eyes so I’ve been looking diligently for a Doctor Who is familiar with working on Asian eyes, as I wanted to keep my natural shape so it didn’t look like I had plastic surgery. I searched all over the Internet, but since I live in a very rural county, I don’t have many great options here for plastic surgeons. I found Dr Larry Fan on the Internet. He is about three hours away from me in San Francisco, but decided to do a consultation with his assistant Ann, Via Zoom. I told her all my concerns for the look I was expecting to receive and then after talking to her, I was confident enough to book a consultation with Dr Larry Fan. When I met him, he understood my concerns and expectations for the surgery. I had the surgery in February 2025 and I can’t tell you how happy I am with the outcome. My eye shape looks the same, just like a younger me, though! People I meet have been telling me I look like I’m in my 40s!! The best thing is I wake up and I am so happy to look at what I see in the mirror! Thank you, Dr. Fan and Ann, for all your diligent and meticulous work to make this happen. I couldn’t be more happy as I am today.
I had a fantastic consultation with Dr. Fan. He was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly answer all of my questions, which I really appreciated. His calm, thoughtful approach made me feel heard and informed. The staff was also exceptionally friendly and helpful, making the entire experience smooth and welcoming. I’m genuinely excited for the results and feel confident I’m in great hands. Highly recommend!
I’ve been Dr. Fan’s patient for various procedures for over 15 years. Most recently he’s helped with hormone treatments, comprehensive weight loss and our usual Botox treatments. The program didn’t just help me shed pounds — they gave me “me” back. For the first time in years, I feel confident in my own skin. My energy levels have skyrocketed, and I finally wake up feeling refreshed, focused, and ready to take on the day. Dr. Fan took the time to understand my unique needs, tailoring a plan that supported my hormones, metabolism, and overall well-being. His approach is deeply knowledgeable, compassionate, and empowering. This isn’t just about looking better — it’s about feeling alive again. I’m so grateful for his care and expertise. I truly feel like the best version of myself.
Impeccable experience from start to finish. Dr. Fan has an eye for detail and a deep understanding of aesthetics—my results are elegant and elevated, never overdone. The office is beautiful, the staff is warm and attentive, and I felt like I was in the best hands at every stage.
A trusted surgeon, based outside of California, highly recommended Dr. Fan to finish a medical procedure where scarring would be very visible. After receiving his name, I discovered that Dr. Fan is not only renowned in his field but also highly regarded within many other circles. What truly impressed me, however, was learning that so many people went to Dr. Fan - even the wives of other plastic surgeons seek out Dr. Fan for their own procedures. Dr. Fan is incredibly meticulous and you can barely see where the incision was made. It has been many years post-surgery and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. Dr. Fan is renowned for his “beautiful scar” technique—my scars are nearly invisible! Even my dermatologist was thoroughly impressed by the outcome. Dr. Fan does exceptional work and I would highly recommend him without any reservations!
I had both a 360 Lower Body Lift and an Extended Medial Thigh Lift split between two procedures. Dr Fan did an outstanding job. He is very compassionate, hands-on, and respectful. I highly recommend him.
I had some work done with Dr. Fan back in 2019. It’s been six years and I’m still happy with my results. I wanted a natural look, and that’s what I got. The day of surgery and all the post-op appointments went well. I always felt well taken care of. Dr. Fan has a very calming demeanor, and really knows his stuff well. I plan to return to him for further work in the future.
As a physician (though not a plastic surgeon), becoming a surgical patient for the first time was both exciting and nerve-wracking. I had always wanted larger breasts but struggled to find a before-and-after gallery that truly spoke to me—until I discovered Dr. Fan’s work. His results were consistently elegant, natural, and beautifully proportioned. Over the years, I had heard his name come up multiple times, including from my OB-GYN, who mentioned that many of her patients had trusted him to rejuvenate their post-baby bodies. In a private female physician group, his name was also frequently recommended, which only reinforced his stellar reputation. And let’s be honest—his credentials are impressive even to fellow doctors. Now that my partner and I are done having children, I knew it was finally time. I carefully researched and booked consultations with several board-certified plastic surgeons who specialize exclusively in aesthetic procedures (rather than a mix of reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, as aesthetic outcomes tend to be superior with dedicated specialists). From the moment I met Dr. Fan, his gentle and humble demeanor immediately put me at ease—a rare and invaluable trait when you’re a doctor-turned-patient with a million questions. He took the time to truly understand me as a person before even beginning the physical exam, making our interaction feel human, not transactional. When assessing my breasts, he pointed out details that other surgeons either overlooked or didn’t bother mentioning, demonstrating an extraordinary level of precision and care. His attention to detail made his consultation stand out from the rest—it was the most comprehensive and thoughtful of them all. In that moment, I knew he was the right surgeon for me. For my face, I wanted to address early signs of aging in the most natural way possible—no tight, overdone look. Dr. Fan listened carefully to my concerns and provided a range of tailored options, from surgical to minimally invasive and non-surgical. His ability to refine and refresh rather than dramatically alter was exactly what I was looking for. Now, let’s talk about pricing—yes, Dr. Fan’s services are on the higher end, but they are aligned with other top-tier, highly specialized cosmetic surgeons. And honestly? It was worth every penny. You can’t put a price on absolute trust in your surgeon and the confidence of knowing you’ll get the results you truly want. For me, that meant beautiful, natural-looking breasts that perfectly suit my body and a refreshed, youthful face without looking “done.” Dr. Fan has a way of setting realistic expectations, but the actual results? Absolutely breathtaking. I am truly at a loss for words at how beautifully sculpted and natural my breasts look. And as for my face—it’s as if he turned back the clock just the right amount. Being in my 40s, I didn’t want anything that looked overdone or unnatural, and he delivered perfection: a refreshed, youthful version of me without a trace of obvious work. I couldn’t be happier! Dr. Fan, along with his incredible staff, has given me more than just surgical results—he’s restored my confidence and helped me feel like the best version of myself. The level of care, artistry, and commitment to excellence he provides is priceless. If you’re considering surgery and want the very best, I can only hope you’ll have the same privilege of experiencing his exceptional skill and genuine care. Thank you, Dr. Fan, from the bottom of my heart.
My recent Botox treatment with Dr. Fan was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, his precision, expertise, and attention to detail were evident, making me feel completely at ease. Having had Botox at other places before, I was amazed at the noticeable difference—not just in the results, but in the level of care and professionalism throughout the process. The entire staff was extremely warm and welcoming, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience. If you're looking for outstanding care and truly remarkable results, I highly recommend Dr. Fan!
I had fillers done by Dr. Fan and couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Dr. Fan's knowledge and thoroughness were impressive, making me feel confident and well-informed throughout the procedure. What truly sets this clinic apart from others in the Bay Area is that Dr. Fan personally administered the fillers, which added an extra level of trust and assurance. The staff was also incredibly nice and professional. Highly recommend!
Dear Beauty89,Liposuction is an excellent treatment for reducing unwanted fat and improving contour in patients with good skin tone.However, liposuction alone does not generally tighten skin, whether or not a laser (eg. Smartlipo) is used (and despite what some may tell you).Your photos suggest that you may be a candidate for revision liposuction with or without a tummy tuck. An in-person examination is needed to give you a definitive opinion.Please see an experienced, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for an evaluation.Warmest wishes,Dr. Fan
Dear Ervyn02,Tummy tucks are very effective and popular but not for everyone.If you are not willing to accept a scar, then you should not have a tummy tuck.There are alternative abdominal contouring procedures you may wish to consider that do not involve scars or very small scars such as liposuction, CoolSculpting, and noninvasive skin tightening treatments. However, none of these treatments significantly improve loose abdominal skin or loose or separated abdominal muscles. Be wary of anybody who suggests otherwise.Warmest wishes,Larry Fan, MD
Dear sbxo,Yes, it is possible to downsize your implants at 1 month postop. However, you should consider a few additional factors:1. You are still early in the postoperative healing period. As your healing progresses, swelling will resolve, and the implants will often drop a little. The end result of these two changes is that your breasts will seem somewhat smaller and less full. This may affect how you feel about the size of your chest. For this reason, many surgeons recommend waiting 3-6 months before deciding to make a size change.2. If you feel that your breasts are way too large for your frame, then it is likely that you will still feel that way even after going through the early healing process. If this is the case, then you may decide not to wait.3. Make sure you discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon and have a strong line of communication. If you are going to downsize, make sure that you and your surgeon have a good plan for how much smaller to go.Best of luck,Larry Fan, MD
Dear spair8858,Cellulite is a challenging problem.There are a few treatments that may help, such as Cellfina (advanced subcision) and Cellulaze (laser tightening from inside out). Treatments that work from the outside in (eg. Velashape, Exilis, Thermage, Pelleve, etc.) are less effective in my opinion.Regardless of the treatment chosen, it's important to have realistic expectations, as results vary and veer towards minimal to mild to moderate (versus drastic) improvement.Please see an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is experienced with a full range of cellulite treatments.Be wary of anybody suggesting that treatment will likely product drastic improvement.Warmest wishes,Larry Fan, MD
Dear kay_trey1,Your photos suggest that you may be a good candidate for breast augmentation (ie. breast implants alone).Please see an experienced board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person evaluation.Warmest wishes,Larry Fan, MD
