Johnny Chung, MD, FACS

I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Chung and I am extremely happy with my results! He was patient and informative in the pre-op phase. He wasn’t pushy and let me guide the decision on sizing. Post-op he was also very attentive and I had a great recovery. Jackie is also amazing! She is friendly, she listens to my request, and she is very skilled! Staff are all very pleasant. The office is clean. I love ASA.

Overall my experience with Dr. Chung has been wonderful! He answered all my questions and was always kind and supportive before and after my procedure. I’m about 5 months post op and still healing, but my results are getting better and better. I had a diastasis recti from my two pregnancies that was only worsening over time despite exercising. Now, I have a flat stomach and no longer have that prominent bulge. My number one reason I had this surgery was to repair the separated muscle which now allows me to re-strengthen my core. Having a strong core is so important and offers many benefits.

Super excited. Paid for my surgery date for an extended TT and Lipo. My date is on May 6th. He answered all my questions in his statement opening alone lol. By the time he was done, I didn't have any questions lol. That takes some serious skill along with his work from his previous patients. Really excited about my journey.   Updated on 23 Mar 2021: Super excited today. I paid doctors fees and hospital fees in full today. They also put me on a cancelation list so hopefully I will be able to get it done sooner than May 6. Fingers crossed. I am finally really truly am doing this. It was a long journey to get here but so worth it. Hopefully I'm saying the same during recovery lol Updated on 4 May 2021: I'm super excited to say that my TT procedure is coming up Thursday May 6th. Surprisingly I'm not nervous but maybe that will change the day of. I will keep updating after the procedure. Good luck to you on your journey and wish you all a quick recovery on your procedure. Updated on 9 May 2021: So I did it ( Yay) super excited. The journey to recovery is tough but I don't regret it. My abdominal muscles are really tight ( Super Happy) but movement does that time. You know what, I would do this all over again in a heartbeat. Wish I had it done sooner. My follow up appointment is on the 17th and hopefully my drains would be remove. Until later. Updated on 9 May 2021: My husband took these for me. I think it looks fantastic. I see the changes already. Super excited. I am still very bruised but it is lighting up. I'm using the Arnica Gel and dissolving tablets to help with the bruising and soreness. Also very importance keep hydrated. Updated on 10 May 2021: I'm definitely feeling more like myself today. Yesterday was rough for me emotionally. From being able to do anything and everything on my own and now having to ask for help just to get out of bed. My husband and kids are troopers. They kept removing me that it is only temporary and tomorrow will be better. Guess what? It's true. The insicion doesn't bother me at all. What is kicking my ass is my back. Oh man that bad girl had me crying a few times yesterday. But staying on top of my fluids, vitamins, pain killer and creams/gels to help me with the bruises and soreness/pain. I wish all of you a wonderful and safe journey in getting yourself back. Until later Updated on 11 May 2021: I'm about to call it a night really soon so decided to provide an update now. Today was a great day. I walked just straighter than yesterday so that's awesome progress for me. The swellen was still there but not as bad and I had 2 bowl movements with taking any stool softener or laxatives, that alone was another reason to celebrate lol. Had a few laughs (it was painful) but so worth seeing my family happy. I hope you all had a great day. This does take time and everyday you will make progress. Goodnight loves Updated on 16 May 2021: These were taken a few days ago. I am excited that these drains are coming out tomorrow. I did buy a new faja because the binder I received from my ps is really uncomfortable and tends to get painful on my back because it bunches up. Which one would be great for compression and tt support? Updated on 19 May 2021: Today is 13 DPO and a bit upset. Sometimes no matter how much you try to do things right shit happens. My drain on my left side is coming out on its own ( the stitch that was in place somehow broke) Trying to keep it in place with medical tape and gauze but I don't think it's working. It actually hurts and the fluid isn't draining into the bulb. The fluid is actually trying to push out through my tt insicion :'( the "scab" looks wet and white on some areas. Now it looks angry, red and it's hot to the touch, I also have a low grade fever with chills. I see my PS tomorrow. Most likely I will be put on antibiotics and hopefully get this painful drain removed. I will continue to try to maintain positive. I will update in a few days. Fingers crossed. Updated on 22 May 2021: I saw my PS on Thursday May 20th regarding the draining and "wet" incision, and as predicted I was put on Antibiotics (10 days). Based on researching this Antibiotic it's super strong. This is what I found on medlineplus "Levofloxacin is used to treat certain infections such as pneumonia, and kidney, prostate (a male reproductive gland), and skin infections. Levofloxacin is also used to prevent anthrax (a serious infection that may be spread on purpose as part of a bioterror attack) in people who may have been exposed to anthrax germs in the air, and treat and prevent plague (a serious infection that may be spread on purpose as part of a bioterror attack. Levofloxacin may also be used to treat bronchitis, sinus infections, or urinary tract infections but should not be used for bronchitis and certain types of urinary tract infections if there are other treatment options available. Levofloxacin is in a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. It works by killing bacteria that cause infections." Honestly at this point I am so frustrated and discouraged with everything. I don't know if the antibiotic is working or if it's getting worse (maybe both situations). Either way I hope your journey is going well. Have a safe and quick recovery :-) until later my beauties. Updated on 31 May 2021: I have completed my antibiotics fully. So far so good. Still having some hiccups throughout my recovery but it's ok as long as I'm making progress. :-) 3 weeks and 4 days post op. Super excited and going back to work soon. Please keep in mind this process definitely takes time. Follow all of your PS instructions and don't be afraid to ask questions. I hope you are having an amazing day and recovery. Updated on 12 Jun 2021: I look back at my previous pictures and the 1dpo and wow now at 5weeks/2days post up (I'm not counting haha) that's awesome changes/progress to me. Everyday it does get better, don't get me wrong there are some rough days because of swelling but that usually happens when I push myself too hard. I am back at work so it's a bit of a challenge and adjustment. Keep asking myself if I'm moving too quickly. But either way please listen to your PS, do research and listen to your body. Wish you all an awesome journey and safe/quick recovery. Until later loves. Updated on 24 Jun 2021: Loving the progress I am making. Still going through minor issue (spitting stitches) but I trust my PS (Dr.Chung) and just continue following his instructions (continue cleaning put bacitracin and cover her up). It's healing, just really slow. I also still go through swelling by the end of the day or if I'm doing too much. I've started scar treatment (using bio oil and mederma scar cream) both I bought through Amazon before my procedure date. I'm also back at the gym, super excited. The only things I regret is not getting this done sooner and not doing my Breast Lift w/augmentation. Don't let fear stop you from getting what you want/need. You will also be saving money with the hospital and anesthesia fee. I will definitely be getting my breast done next. I want them just as happy as I am . I hope you all make decisions that make YOU happy. Stay safe. Until later loves Updated on 6 Jul 2021: Almost 9 wks po, loving the my results. Super happy and wish I would have done this procedure sooner. I still go through swelling throughout the day if I'm doing too much. Lol but still worth it and I can't sit still. :-) I still keep up with my vitamins, pineapple juice, protein intake. I use Arina gel for the swelling, bio oil and mederma for scar treatment. It does get better from day 1 after surgery. Please please be patient and follow you doctors instructions. Take care and be safe. Until later loves. Updated on 16 Mar 2022: I have to say I don't regret doing this at all. It was worth it. The recovery for me was tough but not because of anything being done wrong, it was just how my body reacted. When I felt like something was wrong Dr.Chung responded by phone or email. He was patient with me at all times and reassured me. It is hard mentally and emotionally if you are use to doing things yourself and than having to depend on someone else for needs didn't sit well with me. So prepare yourself please. You cant rush the process or recovery. I still go through swelling specially on my lower abdominal area. Not sure why but it does happen. Here are my updated pictures. Excuse my ashy self .

Had an upper bleph done this morning. The procedure itself isn't painful however recovery it's somewhat of a challenge I can look down and dose to side looking up is a challenge. My vision is blurred so I'm sure there's a ton of typos. Updated on 10 Nov 2020: Day two recovering. Really hoping the swelling goes down. Updated on 15 Nov 2020: A lot of progress being made. I’m looking forward to getting my stitches out tomorrow. My right lid is more swollen but from what I understand it’s normal for the eyes to heal at different rates. Updated on 17 Nov 2020: Ok got my stitches out with the exception of 4 dissolving stitches. It was mostly pain free aside from one tiny pinch which was very minor. Updated on 20 Nov 2020: The healing is going very well as of day 11. I think I’ll end up with a nice result after I’m fully healed. Updated on 20 Nov 2020: Updated on 29 Nov 2020: At 20 days with some light makeup on. Really pleased with results. I had some tightness in my eyes until a couple of days ago but that’s pretty much subsided. I go for my 3 week follow up tomorrow 11/30. Updated on 11 Jan 2021: I've been seeing Dr. Chung since 2014. He's done a breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, and eyelid surgery along with filler and Botox on occasion. I look natural, like myself but better. One thing I appreciate is I've asked for things I thought I needed and Dr Chung has told me that what I was asking for wouldn't look good for reasons which he'd explain. He is honest and will tell you that sometimes a treatment may not work how you want it and I appreciate that. You can't stop the aging process, but you can work with what you have to be the best version of yourself and Dr Chung helps me do this. I feel lucky to be one of his patients and l always look forward to seeing him. Updated on 7 Nov 2021: The past year has flown by. The longest part was the two weeks healing after surgery which I had done in office under local anesthesia. I’m 41.5 years old and I had some excess skin on my upper lids Dr. Chung was able to remove. In the photo I’m fresh out of the shower without any makeup on in natural sunlight next to a window. I do recommend this procedure but make sure you choose your surgeon wisely.

Dr. Chung was very professional and made me feel comfortable every step of the process from the consultation to the actual surgery to post op appointment. He answered all of my questions and was very patient in going through all of the different options that I had and was very thorough in his explanations. I am extremely happy with my results!

Today was the day'. What I have wanted for almost a decade is finally done. I was super nervous and all went well. I have minimal pain and am jut tired. I am sure the pain come tomorrow so far this is not too bad. Taking pain meds as he suggested. I lay in bed with a pillow wedge behind my naval and another pillow under my legs. I have two drains in my pelvic region and also wearing a binder. Similar to one o wore after . Tomorrow I can shower and will share photos. Today's photos are from the morning (before) Updated on 18 Dec 2019: Pain is not too bad, it is less than what I was expecting. What is the most sore are the Lipo areas. I have been getting around really well. I sleep in my own bed with a pillow wedge or on my side with my regular pillow. Fluid is draining nicely. I am very happy with my results so far. There is definitely swelling but it still looks so much better than all that skin! I can’t believe I have a flat belly! Updated on 19 Dec 2019: Pain is manageable and not too bad. I am still up and around.The incision doesn’t hurt at all. Just belly is swollen and sore to the touch. Where the lipo was on my sides and back is quite painful. Feels like burning sensations and very tender. . Back is sore from hunching but overall not too bad. Constipation has set in from meds and when you can’t use our stomach muscles it makes it more difficult. Hoping this will “pass” soon. Drains are going well and doing their job. They are necessary but annoying lol. Can’t wait til they are out. No pics today. Maybe tomorrow . Updated on 20 Dec 2019: Feeling okay today. Getting some pins and needles and buzzing. Assuming that is nerves. Pain is still manageable and not bad. Everything just feels very swollen and tight. I still cannot stand up straight. It was very swollen over night and almost felt hard to breathe. I had to sleep propped up and that helped. Having nausea today as well. Overall, feeling pretty well though. Better than expected. Updated on 21 Dec 2019: Standing a little straighter today. Swelling is still bad. Pain is okay, not bad at all. Muscles don’t hurt as much and can maneuver more easily. It’s really just the lipo areas that burn and the full tightness feeling from the swelling. Bruising is getting better and noticing less fluids in my drains. Swelling is worse at night and almost feels hard to breathe from the tightness and heaviness from the swelling. All and all not a bad day. Getting stir crazy for sure ! Updated on 27 Dec 2019: Pain has been minimal for me throughout this process. The most uncomfortable for me are the lipo sites that have occasional burning sensation and the tummy swelling. The swelling progresses throughout the day. By nitefall my skin hurts and it’s very swollen but gets better if I lay down for awhile . Overall I have been very happy and getting better everyday . I can mostly stand up straight until the swelling sets in. It’s swollen more on one side than the other . I have one drain in still. One was removed post op day 7, the last one is day 14. A few more days . Updated on 14 Jan 2020: I am 4 weeks post up today and I can see a waist and swelling has gone down significantly. Still have swelling in the lower abdomen and above the incision on my sides . It is more swollen end of day then in the morning . I can wear two pair of my post op stretchy jeans and there is room. I can fit in all of them but some are still uncomfortable with the swelling . I am down about 5 lbs since pre op. I can’t wait for the final results but I am loving it so far. I had to go twice for fluid extraction. It wasn’t too bad . 40cc’s first time and less than 25 cc’s yesterday. I go back in 3nweeka and can begin exercising next week. Light weights upper body only, can so elliptical but not core workouts. Updated on 24 Jan 2020: Swelling has gone down significantly tho week. Had 15 cc’s fluid extracted earlier this week. Swelling increases during the day but it isn’t painful anymore and doesn’t get too too bad. Still have residual swelling in lower abdomen and “love handles” but I am very pleased with results. Cleared to begin exercising, upper and lower body and elliptical. No core exercises yet. Updated on 22 Jun 2020: I couldn’t be happier . I am so glad I made the decision to do this. I still get selling but it isn’t horrific. Seems to depend on my sodium intake activity level (sitting or longer periods). Scar is flat and is less dark in person that pictures . I will take the scar any day though over the crinkly saggy belly. If you are on the fence about doing it , JUST DO IT! I wish I didn’t wait so long .

I've been wanting a breast augmentation for the past 5 yrs and finally went for it! Before having kids I was a nice full B cup. During my pregnancies I went up to a DD. After having my last child I lost everything I ever had! I am pretty skinny and let's face it, skinny girls rarely have boobs! I missed being proportionate, I was as flat as a board, barely a 32A. I was tired of wearing a padded bra, not looking nice in outfits, some not even fitting, and its a horrible feeling to not want to be bra-less in front of your husband of 12yrs. I hated myself, I cried all the time. I researched a ton, found a great surgeon, and had my surgery last Friday, Nov 8th. I went with 350cc hp silicone under the muscles. Updated on 22 Nov 2019: I'm 2 wks post op today! Not much has changed yet. They're still sitting high and tight (right is worse). I'm still feeling tight and sore, some days more than others, but overall much better than last week. I'm slowly and carefully trying to get back into my normal routine, just with alot less energy. My back has been killing me though! Had my 1st post op appt with my surgeon and he said everything looks good and going as expected. Told me to start light massages. He also gave me a very tight compression bra to wear 24/7 for the next month which is killing me! It squeezes really hard and digs into my sides and back :( Updated on 29 Nov 2019: Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I feel like the healing time is going soooo slow! I do think they're starting to look a little better now and rounding out a bit. Definitely getting softer! Bruises are fading and my incisons don't bother me at all. Doing light massages and got a bigger bra. I'm also feeling better and able to do more. My back pain has almost gone away too, thankfully! The only time I really feel uncomfortable is when I lay down to sleep or sit back to relax. I feel a weird pulling/pressure/tightening feeling on the top of my right breast. If I move or take deep breaths the feeling gets worse but as soon as I stand or sit up the feeling goes away. I'm thinking it's my muscle contracting or spasming.. or maybe my implant is sitting on a nerve? Anyone have any ideas? It's only at the very top and sometimes I can feel it go up into my shoulder. It sucks because I need to sit up to sleep :( Updated on 15 Dec 2019: I must say that I have been feeling more like myself this past week. The pain and tightness is finally gone! No morning boob! I just get the occasional muscle spasms and zingers from my nerves healing but nothing I can't handle. The scabs fell off my incisions and they look and feel alot better too. I also had a follow up appt with my surgeon and he said everything looked great! He said I could start using silicone gel scar sheets on my incisions and compression bra during the day and braless at night... it has changed my life for sure. Sleeping is sooo much better now! I don't get the muscle spasms if I'm braless, not sure why. I posted some pictures of pre op vs 2 wks post op vs today. What a difference! I'm finally starting to enjoy my new addition!! Updated on 6 Jan 2020: Back to myself again! It was a rough couple of weeks but I can finally say this was worth it! I'm so happy now! They are alot softer, have dropped alot more, and no more weird feelings! So far I seem to be a 32DD ???? Updated on 5 Feb 2020: Can't believe it's been over 3 months!! They're so soft and my incisions look great. I still have a little numbness and tenderness under my left boob but seems to be getting better. That is where my only bruise was, not sure if that's the reason. I did notice my right has dropped more over the past month and evened out the upper pole some. Very happy about that! My left is a bit behind though which is frustrating because they're a little uneven now, but I heard they drop and fluff at different rates plus I'm right handed. I have an appt next week with my surgeon so I will update again then. Updated on 13 Feb 2020: Had my 3.5 month post op today. He said everything looks great! My right is almost there but left is a bit behind, as to be expected. Will take a few more months for mine to drop completely and could be sore for about a year. But he said I can wear whatever bra I want! Yay! So happy!!!! Updated on 20 Mar 2020: I'm feeling great now. Completely back to normal. They're very soft and I feel like they are apart of me. I actually forgot what I looked like before boobs lol. However, I am getting VERY impatient with my left! No matter what I do it will not come down to where my right is. My surgeon told me it could take up to a year but I'm feeling hopeless right now. It's been long enough! Updated on 14 Aug 2020: I decided to come back after a few months and make a 9 month post op update. It feels amazing to finally fill out clothing, swim suits, and wear whatever bra I want! Never once did I regret my decision and I'd go through it all over again. But I am a tiny bit disappointed... my left side is still behind. It looks better than it did at 5 months but with approaching my 1 year mark, I am worried it won't change much. Did anyone else go through this before? Have they dropped after 9 months? Please, if anyone has advice I'd love to hear it! I really do not want a revision.

Dr Chung has been my go-to doctor for botox and other minor treatments for years. He is a skilled injector and I wouldn't dream of trusting anyone else. Plus, he's a super nice guy and is easy to interact with. I haven't gone down the actual plastic surgery road yet, but when I do I will go to Dr Chung because he is an excellent doctor.

Yet again my artist surgeon Dr Johnny Chung exceeds my expectations. It’s only Saturday my surgery was in office Monday and I’m thrilled- the pic I’m posting is directly after leaving the office on Wednesday to remove my head wrap bandages and replaced with head band. Will never be frightened by accidental reverse camera again! Thank you Doctor Chung! Highly recommended!! Updated on 22 Jun 2019: I’m trying to find some side neck pics , it was real Crepey with a fat pocket right under the chin- whenever I caught a side glimpse I got upset. I can’t wait to see final results, I’m generally a little more active then recommended but I have 5 kids so it’s a little hard not to be.

I have been using the amazing Johnny Chung for almost ten years.! Even after moving an hour away I won’t settle for anyone else!! From Botox and fillers to an extensive make over -starting with a breast lift and augment then a tummy tuck -after breastfeeding and giving birth to 5 children- I look better than I did in my twenties!!! Facelift being scheduled this year!!
