Chao Plastic Surgery

The attentive care and concern this office has shown over the last seven years that I have been with them is remarkable. They always go above and beyond to make sure their patients are happy and pleased with the results of their treatments.

Dr. Chao was able to fix a number of deformities of my breasts left from a procedure I recently had done. Other doctors thought they wouldn’t be able to help me, but fortunately this was not beyond Dr. Chao’s ability. He exceeded my expectations and that rarely happens.

This was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The vibrant front office staff make you feel like a friend and are incredibly knowledgeable about the services offered. Becky is incredible. Her work is truly art and her down to earth personality makes you feel so comfortable! I’ve been to several different surgeons in the area but nothing tops this experience. I’ll never go anywhere else!

Becky is amazing! In fact, so is everyone else in that office. I am so incredibly happy with my results. She took her time with me, and it meant the world to me. I had my face and lower body done on the same day and hours into the procedure she even fed me. Honestly she has the best heart and is so knowledgeable. She the best person by your side during all of it. Thank you so much!!

Over a year ago I started my journey to look for a Plastic surgeon. You see, I had lost almost 60 lbs, and there it was, this shelf of skin and fat that no diet or exercise could ever get rid of. I felt I owed it to myself to look into getting it removed.
My sister-in-law recommended going to the Real Self website to find Plastic surgeons in my area. After searching for 5-star surgeons. I settled on 3. I made consultations with all three. By the time I had my 3rd consult, I finally had my AH-HA moment. Dr. Chao was going to be the perfect fit for me. Between his professionalism, personality, knowledge, and staff. I knew I was done looking. They were very patient with me. Due to this procedure, I knew everything was out of pocket. We settled on a date over a year away.
Well, here we are a year later. I had my surgery a week ago. I'm not going to lie. It hurts like hell. Just keep taking your prescribed meds as needed and you will be fine. No pain no gain. I go in tomorrow to hopefully get my drains removed. I can't wait for that!!! I have before pictures that will be posted and I will follow up with after pictures. I really can't say enough about Dr. Chao, and Becky. As they said in the surgical center they are called the "Dynamic duo" !!!

So after a week, I went in for my first appointment. Only one drain was removed. I was a bit bummed but understood the importance of doing things right. I'm not walking straight yet. At least I stopped using my mother's walker. ( It was a great help the first week!) A few more days and the second drain should be removed.

Dr. Chao deserves MORE than five stars. If I could give him 100 I would. My experience with Dr. Chao was beyond incredible. He truly listens to what your expectations are with care and concern. He along with Rebecca provide you with safe and realistic goals for a wonderful, lasting outcome. He met with me twice and was not in a hurry during these consultations. I brought in pictures of what I wanted my behind to look like and he was extremely helpful in suggesting what to do in order to get me there. I am a mother of two adult children and have been diagnosed with diastasis recti so I knew I would not have a completely flat stomach without revisiting the OR to have a tummy tuck. I had my three month check up with Dr. Chao and am very pleased with my results without the tummy tuck. It took me almost a year to decide which doctor to choose for my Lipo and BBL. I can't begin to tell you how pleased I am that I selected Dr. Chao, it's the BEST decision I ever made. If anyone is contemplating on who in the Capital District to go to for GREAT results, professionalism and an all around feeling that you belong to a family.......DR. CHAO IS YOUR MAN!!!!

Dr. Chao is wonderful! I went to get a cyst removed from my finger. Becky is so nice and helpful! The office staff made all my followup visits for me while I was having my cyst removed. Very relaxing atmosphere.

I’ve been going to see Beckie for a couple years now and it’s the best cosmetic decision I’ve ever made. She does lip filler and Botox for me and is the best out there - so good that I drive 2 hours to see her every time! The rest of the staff is also always pleasant to see. Even Dr. Chao pops in to say hello!

Love Dr. Chao! He's very knowledgeable and knows exactly what he's doing. He listens to your concerns and never rushes you. He makes you feel super comfortable!! Always smiling and in a great mood. Ive been happy every time I come in here. I sent my sisters and mother and mother in law to him and everyone loves him equally! Also, love Beckie!! She's amazing!!!! They are VERY good at what they do and most importantly they listen to what YOU want. I would never go to anyone else but Dr Chao and his staff. Even the front receptionists are so sweet. When you call them they never rush you off the phone and don't get annoyed when you need to reschedule. They're super accommodating. LOVE!

Dr. Chao and his team are truly wonderful!! They have a great bedside manner and always listen to all my needs. I’ve seen Dr. Chao for a scar nose from a rhinoplasty done by another surgeon in the capital region. Dr. Chao was honest with me and gave me options/suggestions. He didn’t push me into doing anything and he spent his time answering my questions, which I appreciate very much. I’ve also seen the PA, Beckie for fillers and PRP. I’ve seen other plastic surgeons in the area for injectables but she is by far the best!! I always have a “natural” look when she does my injections.
